Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Management Fee Generally
Smith Whiley & Company is eligible to receive a quarterly management fee which is based on a percentage
of assets under management and may be paid in advance or arrears and pro-rated for partial quarters.
Management fees payable to Smith Whiley & Company from SW Pelham Fund III, L.P. are paid quarterly in
advance during the investment period and then in arrears thereafter and deducted from capital contributions
made by their limited partners or out of investment proceeds. When outside investors are accepted in
Pelham S2K SBIC, LP., Smith Whiley & Company anticipates Pelham S2K SBIC, LP. will pay a quarterly
management fee calculated at an annual rate equal to two percent (2%) of the sum of (i) the aggregate
unreduced regulatory capital of the partners plus (ii) a presumed two tiers of SBA leverage. During years six
and thereafter, the management fee for Pelham S2K SBIC L.P. is anticipated to be calculated at an annual
rate equal to 2.0% per annum of net invested capital. For purposes of the above, unreduced regulatory
capital is defined by the SBIC Act, but generally included funded capital contributions plus binding unfunded
commitments made by “institutional investors” within the meaning of the SBIC Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, from the commencement of the initial fee period until the closing of Pelham S2K SBIC L.P.’s first
portfolio company investment, the partnership will only be obligated to pay a management fee of 2.0% of the
partnership’s unreduced regulatory capital (i.e. no fees assessed on assumed SBA leverage until an
investment has been made.) Both SW Pelham Fund, L.P. and SW Pelham Fund II, L.P. are Liquidating Trusts
and no management fee is charged.
While Smith Whiley & Company does not currently receive a performance fee in connection with its services
to the investment partnerships, each of the investment partnerships’ related persons, Pelham Capital
Management, LLC, Pelham Capital Management II, LLC, Pelham Capital Management III, LLC and SW/S2K
GP, LLC, in their respective capacities as general partners of the investment partnerships, receives or will
receive a performance allocation based on a percentage of the capital gains or capital appreciation of assets
under management. In addition to management fees, the investment partnerships generally will bear certain
operating and organizational expenses. These expenses will vary, but typically include, without limitation,
all reasonable legal, accounting, filing, capital raising, and other organizational and offering expenses
incurred in the formation of each investment partnership. Other fees and expenses may also include,
without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in developing, negotiating, structuring, marketing
and disposing of portfolio investments, including financing, legal, accounting, tax, audit, advisory and
consulting expenses; and operating expenses, including, without limitation, commissions, custodial
expenses, litigation, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, indemnification obligations and certain
broken deal expenses, taxes, fees and similar governmental charges, expenses of liquidating the investment
partnerships and expenses of the investment partnerships’ advisory committee (comprised of
representatives of certain of the limited partners of the investment partnerships), or advisory committee.
The offering documents of each investment partnership set forth the specific arrangements regarding
operating and organizational expenses for each investment partnership.
Other Fees
Smith Whiley & Company may receive certain cash and non-cash net transaction, directors’ and break-up
fees which vary by investment. Other fees may offset or reduce the management fees paid by limited
partners pursuant to a formula set forth in the relevant investment partnership offering documents. As
detailed above, the investment partnerships will bear certain brokerage and other transaction costs in
connection with Smith Whiley & Company providing investment management services - please see “Item 12
- Brokerage Practice” for a further description of Smith Whiley & Company’s brokerage practice.
