Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/27/2026) [Brochure]
FEES AND COMPENSATION

        In general, the Advisers receive a management fee and/or performance-based carried
interest in connection with the provision of advisory services. Windjammer Management or other
Windjammer Capital Investors entities or affiliates receive additional compensation in connection
with management and other services performed for portfolio companies of the Funds and such
additional compensation, other than most director fees, generally will offset in whole or in part the
Management Fees (as defined below) otherwise payable to the relevant Adviser to the extent
provided by the Governing Documents. Investors in the Funds also bear certain fund expenses.

Management Fees

        Fund VI pays Windjammer Management or its designee, quarterly in advance, a
management Fee (the “Management Fee”) equal to 2.0% per annum of aggregate investor capital
commitments (“Commitments”). Investors participating in a closing after Fund VI’s initial
closing will pay the Management Fee retroactive to the effective date, and may pay interest as set
forth in the Partnership Agreement. Upon a date specified in the Governing Documents (the
“Stepdown Date”), the Management Fee will be calculated semi-annually and payable quarterly
in advance and will equal 2.0% of (a) the aggregate investment contributions, as reduced by (b)
investments that have been disposed of or completely written off, in each case with respect to
partners not designated as “affiliated partners” by WCI VI, (c) plus the aggregate amount of
outstanding borrowings made in anticipation or in lieu of the partners making investment

contributions. Following the eleventh anniversary of the final closing date and ending upon the
financial distribution of Fund VI’s assets, the Management Fee will be an amount negotiated in
good faith by WCI VI and the Advisory Board (as defined below) during the calendar quarter
immediately preceding the commencement of such period or, if WCI VI and the Advisory Board
are unable to reach an agreement, an amount calculated in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence. Executive Fund VI is subject to similar Management Fee terms, except at a
rate of 1.0% per annum.

         Fund V paid Windjammer Management, quarterly in advance, a Management Fee equal to
2.0% per annum of aggregate Commitments. Investors participating in a closing after Fund V’s
initial closing paid the Management Fee retroactive to the effective date, and may pay interest as
set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Upon the Stepdown Date, the Management Fee is
calculated semi-annually and payable quarterly in advance and equals 2.0% of (a) the aggregate
investment contributions, as reduced by (b) investments that have been disposed of or completely
written off, in each case with respect to partners not designated as “affiliated partners” by WCI V.
Following the eleventh anniversary of the final closing date and ending upon the financial
distribution of Fund V’s assets, the Management Fee will be an amount negotiated in good faith
by WCI V and the Advisory Board during the calendar quarter immediately preceding the
commencement of such period or, if WCI V and the Advisory Board are unable to reach an
agreement, an amount calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

        Fund IV pays Windjammer Management, quarterly in advance, a Management Fee.
Investors participating in a closing after Fund IV’s effective date paid the Management Fee
retroactive to the effective date. Upon the Stepdown Date, the Management Fee was reduced to
1.5% per annum, calculated semi-annually of (a) the aggregate funded Commitments with respect
to investments held by Fund IV on the calculation date, as reduced by (b) investments that have
been written off as worthless. Further, upon the date on which (i) receipt or accrual of management
fees with respect to Fund V began, and (ii) committed capital of Fund V equaled at least 75% of
the aggregate Fund IV investor Commitments, the Management Fee was reduced to 1.0% per
annum, calculated semi-annually, of (a) the aggregate funded Commitments with respect to
investments held by Fund IV on the calculation date, as reduced by (b) investments that have been
written off as worthless. The Management Fee will be payable until the final distribution of Fund
IV’s assets. Installments of the Management Fee payable for any period other than a full three-
month period are adjusted on a pro rata basis according to the actual number of days in such
period.

        Fund II paid Windjammer Management, quarterly in advance, a Management Fee
originally equal to 1.625% per annum of aggregate Commitments, but upon the Stepdown Date,
the Management Fee was reduced to 1.0% per annum, calculated semi-annually, of (a) the cost
basis of investments held by Fund II on the calculation date, as reduced by (b) investments that
have been written off as worthless. Prior to December 31, 2014, the Management Fee amount was
not less than $200,000 in any year. Installments of the Management Fee payable for any period
other than a full three-month period are adjusted on a pro rata basis according to the actual number
of days in such period. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, Fund II did not pay a Management Fee
to Windjammer Management.

       VRC Investors does not pay a management fee.

       As a general matter, Management Fees will be payable during term extensions unless
otherwise agreed with investors.

        The Governing Documents provide that a Fund’s Management Fees will be calculated and
charged on a basis that generally is not tied to the Fund’s then-current net asset value. As further
specified in the Governing Documents, from the effective date of the relevant Fund until the
Stepdown Date, Management Fees generally will be charged based on a formula tied to the amount
of the relevant Fund’s aggregate Commitments. Further, after the Stepdown Date, Management

General

        The description of Windjammer Capital Investors’ investment activities contained herein
is general in nature and is subject in its entirety to the description of Windjammer Capital

than the description herein.

       Windjammer Capital Investors is a private investment firm that invests in middle-market
companies and supports management in their initiatives to grow earnings and build shareholder
value. Windjammer Capital Investors has the capability to invest in various layers of such

companies’ capital structure, including control and non-control private equity and subordinated
debt financings.

        Windjammer Capital Investors typically seeks control investments, though in some cases
it may make non-control investments in companies meeting its investment criteria, and may
provide subordinated debt to companies in certain scenarios. Windjammer Capital Investors
remains committed to the middle market (sub $500 million enterprise values) and typically invests
in companies operating in a diverse set of niche industries and generating earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization of approximately $10 million to $50 million.

        Once a company is part of Windjammer Capital Investors’ investment portfolio, the firm
deploys significant internal resources, including the firm’s senior investment and operating
professionals, as well as established consulting relationships (including Strategic Consultants), to

strategic value.

such Fund and a loss of investment is possible.
