| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/30/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Fees and Compensation For each Equity Partnership, WMC, WCAS Management, or an affiliated company receives a management fee for providing administrative services. Management fees are generally payable quarterly in advance, and these are payable for any period that is less than a full quarterly period. Each Equity Partnership is generally charged an annual management fee of 1.5% during the investment period, and 1.00% to 1.25% after the investment period is over. The general partner of each Equity Partnership generally receives a carried interest allocation of 20% of profits on distributions, including from the recapitalization or disposition of investments or securities, after limited partners receive a preferred return of up to 8% per annum, as applicable, pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership for the respective Partnership. Neither the Firm nor an affiliated company receives a management fee or carried interest allocation from the Feeder Funds or Co-Investors. An affiliated company of the Firm receives a carried interest allocation from WCAS Co-Investors HoldCo, L.P., but does not receive a carried interest allocation from the other Holdcos. Pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of each Partnership, limited partners are not permitted to make voluntary withdrawals. In the event of a non-voluntary withdrawal, the Firm will refund all pre-paid fees that have not been earned. Portfolio companies have paid in the past and we expect may pay in the future a fee to the Firm for services provided by our Resources Group, which was expanded in 2018 to include the services of The Health Management Academy (“THMA”), an executive network and provider of leadership development programs for the nation’s leading health systems, a controlling interest in which is owned by WCAS Management and certain of its affiliates. The Resources Group offers a wide range of consulting services to companies in which the Partnerships invest, including recommending operational improvements, revenue enhancement strategies, procurement and sourcing solutions (including participation in group purchasing organizations), corporate advisory, human resources, executive recruitment, information technology, advice with respect to capital markets, financing and strategic transactions, and other related services, which such companies may utilize over multiple years but have the option not to use. Such fees are “Resources Group Fees” as defined in each applicable Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership and are not “Creditable Fees” (as defined in the relevant Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership and which reduce the quarterly management fee paid by the Partnership to the Firm). Resources Group Fees are agreed with the portfolio companies at the time a Resources Group agreement is entered into and typically represent a flat fee for access to the services of the Resources Group, which may be paid in whole at the time a Resources Group is entered into or periodically over time. Accordingly, the Resources Group services provided to a portfolio company may vary year to year and there can be no assurance that the Resources Group Fee paid will be commensurate with the value provided by the Resources Group, either in any particular year or in the aggregate over the periods for which the portfolio company pays Resources Group Fees. The Firm evaluates the Resources Group Fees paid by portfolio companies against estimates for costs that would have been paid to comparable third-party service providers in order to provide support that the Resources Group Fees paid by portfolio companies are below the amount such portfolio companies would have paid third parties to provide similar services and in the aggregate are not more than the cost of providing the services. The estimates used for comparison may include, for any particular portfolio company, assumptions regarding historic or anticipated Resources Group utilization, and such other assumptions as the Firm deems relevant. Such estimates are determined by the Firm in its sole discretion, and are inherently subjective. Members of the Resources Group also provide certain pre-and post-acquisition services to the Firm that are separate from services provided to portfolio companies under Resources Group agreements. Members of the Resources Group are compensated by the Firm without analyzing or allocating the relative services they may perform for the Firm or for portfolio companies. Individual members of the Resources Group have in the past and may in the future receive compensation from a portfolio company in which one or more Partnerships has an investment if they assume board of directors or similar roles. In addition, in certain circumstances, members of the Resources Group may also be full time employees of, or have separate compensation arrangements with, a portfolio company. Any compensation (including equity-based compensation) received directly by a Resources Group member from a portfolio company, including, without limitation, in connection with service to the company as a director, employee or otherwise, is not a Resources Group Fee. Any such compensation is negotiated between the portfolio company and the applicable member of the Resources Group. While the Firm expects that compensation in respect of such arrangements will generally reflect fair value for services provided as determined by the portfolio company, there can be no guarantee that such compensation will be on terms typical of agreements between unrelated parties, and Firm personnel who serve as directors or officers of applicable portfolio companies may face conflicts of interest to the extent such role involves negotiating or approving such compensation. Any compensation received from a portfolio company by members of the Resources Group who are employees of the Firm will be treated as a Creditable Fee to reduce the quarterly management fee ... |
| Account Minimums and Types of Clients — Form ADV Part 2A (3/30/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Types of Clients The Firm provides advisory services to the Equity Partnerships, Holdcos, Co-Investors, and the Feeder Funds. Each Partnership operates as a pooled investment vehicle. The minimum capital commitment for a limited partner of a Partnership is outlined in such Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership and other governing documents; however, the general partner of each Partnership maintains discretion to accept less than the minimum investment. In addition, a Partnership may enter into separate agreements, commonly referred to as “side letters,” with certain investors. However, no Partnership will enter into a “side letter” with an investor that alters the liquidity terms under which the investor will invest in a Partnership. Investors will be required to make certain representations when investing in a Partnership, including but not limited to, that (i) they are acquiring an interest for their own account, (ii) they received or had access to all information they deem relevant to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment, and (iii) they have the ability to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Partnership. Each investor will be furnished with a copy of the relevant Agreement of Limited Partnership and related agreements. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss The Partnerships invest primarily in the United States within two target industries: technology and healthcare. Although the primary investment focus is on companies located within the United States, the Firm may pursue attractive foreign investments on an opportunistic basis subject to certain limitations in the applicable Agreement of Limited Partnership. The Partnerships seek to invest in market-leading technology companies that deliver a tangible value proposition to their clients, generate attractive organic and acquisition-related growth opportunities, maintain recurring revenue with high operating leverage, and occupy defensible market positions. The Partnerships believe these companies offer clients value in the form of expanded market opportunity, increased revenues, faster process or cycle times, reduced costs, increased operating leverage, better information exchange and improved quality of products and services. The Partnerships also seek to invest in market-leading healthcare companies that reduce costs, increase quality of care or service, improve efficiencies, and demonstrate proven business models with strong unit-level economics, as applicable. The Partnerships have found over time that by targeting highly fragmented, complex or inefficient sectors with a combination of capital, strong management and strategic vision, they can create operating models and businesses that deliver substantial value to patients, providers, payors and shareholders. The Firm’s investment strategy is deal size agnostic, and activities include (i) seeking new market opportunities, (ii) providing capital to meet the needs of growing businesses, and (iii) investing in growth oriented later-stage buyouts and special situations. For both small and large investments, the Firm focuses on producing capital gains and attractive multiples of capital, in addition to strong internal rates of return. The Firm leverages its industry specialization, proprietary deal flow, sourcing expertise and operational focus, as well as the continuity and experience of its general partners, to differentiate itself in the competitive private equity market. The Firm’s investment strategy is comprised of the following key components: • Industry Specialization in Attractive Sectors • Consistent and Disciplined Investment Approach • Portfolio Construction • Partnering with Known Management Teams • Investments Across Various Deal Sizes and Structures • Focus on Operational Improvement • Capital Markets Expertise The Firm is dedicated to acting in accordance with the highest ethical and professional standards in its business and is committed to considering material environmental, social, and governance (“Responsible Investment”) principles, which are institutionalized as part of the Firm’s investment and company building processes. In 2013, the Firm adopted a responsible investment policy and currently has a dedicated Responsible Investment Committee composed of representatives from the Investment and Resources Group, Investor Relations, and Legal and Compliance. The Responsible Investment Committee is tasked with reviewing the Firm’s Responsible Investment Policy and providing recommendations for its enhancement to the Firm’s Management Committee, as well as monitoring the Responsible Investment policies of the Firm’s portfolio companies. When the Investment Review Committee (“IRC”) reviews a new investment, the Firm may retain a third-party Responsible Investment consulting firm (where appropriate) to identify Responsible Investment risks and opportunities for inclusion in the IRC materials. Post-transaction, the Firm’s Investment and Resources Group professionals work with each portfolio company to recommend any Responsible Investment initiatives and retain specialized consultants, where appropriate. The Firm will continue to focus on environmental, public health, safety, social and governance initiatives with the goal of continuing to enhance performance and minimize any adverse impact in these areas. Acquiring an interest in one of the Partnerships involves a number of risks. An investment in a Partnership may be deemed a speculative investment and is not intended as a complete investment program. It is designed for sophisticated investors who fully understand and are capable of bearing the risk of an investment in the Partnership. No guarantee or representation is made that the Partnership will achieve its investment objective or that limited partners will receive a return of their capital. ... |
