| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (6/18/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation A. Describe how you are compensated for your advisory services. Provide your fee schedule. Disclose whether the fees are negotiable. Winona and its relevant affiliate or General Partner receive fees and compensation in exchange for advisory services provided to the Funds, including a management fee (the “Management Fee”), a carried interest allocation (“Carried Interest”), additional compensation in connection with management services performed for the portfolio companies of the Funds and reimbursements from portfolio companies for certain expenses advanced on their behalf. The Funds are also responsible for bearing certain expenses as detailed below and in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Differences exist from Fund to Fund, and certain Funds do not charge certain fees, compensation or expenses that other Funds charge or charge them in different amounts. Investors should refer to the Governing Documents of each Fund for a complete understanding of how Winona is compensated for its advisory services; the following is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such documents. Management Fees Investors in WCP I and WCP II pay to Winona or an affiliate an annual Management Fee of up to 2% of capital, as described in more detail in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Generally, the Management Fee is initially calculated based upon the aggregate commitments for the period of time during which each Fund is making investments. After the earlier of (i) the date the investment period expires or (ii) Winona begins accepting Management Fees from any successor fund (subject to various other factors, as set forth in the relevant Governing Documents), the Management Fee will be based on (i) the aggregate investment contributions less (ii) the aggregate amount of distributions constituting a return of investment contributions with respect to realized investments that have been disposed of or completely written-off; provided that investments in a portfolio company shall be treated as having been disposed of or completely written off only to the extent the aggregate fair market value of all remaining interest in such portfolio company at the applicable time is less than the Fund’s aggregate investment contributions made with respect to all investments in such portfolio company. The amount of Management Fees generally will not correspond with fluctuations in the net asset value of individual investments, aggregate investments in a portfolio company or of a Fund, including following the stepdown date, and will not be reduced in connection with any write downs, except in the case of investments permanently written down. Permanent write-down determinations are made in the discretion of the valuation committee in accordance with the relevant Governing Documents and the Firm’s valuation policy. Except where the Governing Documents expressly provide to the contrary, Management Fees will not be reduced (in whole or in part) in the case of partial distributions (e.g., those resulting from a dividend recapitalization), partial sales, reorganizations, restructurings, roll-over investments, or similar transactions, in each case in circumstances that do not result in the complete disposition of the relevant Fund’s investment or ownership percentage in a portfolio company has been reduced as a result of such transaction. In addition, Management Fees generally will not be reimbursed or refunded under the Governing Documents in the event of realizations, dispositions or partial write-downs that occur partway through the relevant calculation period. Further, where there has been a partial disposition or permanent write-down of a Fund’s investment and the fair market value of the investment following such event exceeds the total amount of the Fund’s investment contributions relating to the investment, the Governing Documents do not require Management Fees after the stepdown date to be reduced. In most circumstances, the post step-down Management Fee base will include capitalized transaction-specific fees and expenses of unrealized investments, including transaction fees charged by Winona in connection with the investment, which poses a conflict of interest in that the inclusion of such fees and expenses results in a higher Management Fee than if such transaction fees and expenses were not capitalized into the asset base. Assessed quarterly in advance, Management Fees are collected through a capital call, through a draw- down on the Fund’s line of credit or offset against a distribution to investors. All Management Fees were negotiated with investors during the fundraising period of the applicable Fund and are not subject to negotiation thereafter. WCP I is no longer charging Management Fees. Management Fees are payable during term extensions unless otherwise notified to investors. Winona is permitted, in its sole discretion, to reduce or waive all or a portion of the Management Fee for any of the Winona Funds or investors in such Funds (although these investors generally still pay their pro rata share of certain Fund expenses). Management Fees differ from one Fund to another, as well as among investors in the same Fund. Such differences can arise from the size of an investor’s commitment to a Fund, offset provisions, provisions of side letter agreements or other negotiated terms. Capital contributions for Management Fees paid by investors who are employees of Winona are returned to the employee as distributions rather than paid as Management Fees. Investors in a Co-Investment Fund generally pay a reduced or no Management Fee on the co- investment portion of their investment (but again, such co-investors generally pay their pro rata share of certain expenses as described more fully below). Management Fees for Co-Investment Funds are negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis but are typically less than those charged to WCP I and WCP II Fund ... |
| Account Minimums and Types of Clients — Form ADV Part 2A (6/18/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 7 – Types of Clients Describe the types of clients to whom you generally provide investment advice, such as individuals, trusts, investment companies, or pension plans. If you have any requirements for opening or maintaining an account, such as a minimum account size, disclose the requirements. Winona provides investment advice to the Funds. The Funds limit their investors to: (i) “accredited investors” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”); and (ii) “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees”, each as defined in the Investment Company Act; or (iii) “qualified clients” as defined in the Advisers Act. Investors in the Funds must meet certain suitability and net worth qualifications prior to making an investment in the Funds. The Funds are not registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act; are not made available to the general public; their securities are not registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act; and Fund interests are privately placed to qualified investors. Qualified investors include individuals or entities to which Fund interests are permitted to be sold, which generally includes (i) in the United States, people or organizations who meet certain net worth, income and/or financial sophistication requirements as described above or (ii) in other countries, as permitted by the relevant securities laws in such jurisdiction and in compliance with any foreign offering provisions applicable to Winona and/or the Funds. The Funds generally have minimum investment amounts varying from $1.0 million to $5.0 million for third-party investors, although Winona has, in its sole discretion, accepted lesser amounts and did so with respect to Winona employees who invest in the Funds. The investors participating in the Funds include high net worth individuals, banks or thrift institutions, family offices, other investment entities, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates or charitable organizations or other corporations or business entities and, directly or indirectly, principals or other employees of Winona and its affiliates. On occasion, Winona offers co-investment opportunities for certain investors to invest alongside a Fund in certain Fund portfolio companies. As referenced in Item 4, above, in certain cases co- investments have been structured either as (i) a Co-Investment Fund or (ii) a direct investment by certain investors into a portfolio company or its holding or operating company. When structured as a Co-Investment Fund, Winona considers the investment to be a Fund client, identifies the Fund in its Form ADV Part 1, Schedule D, Section 7.B.(1), obtains an audit for the Fund, considers whether to assess a Management Fee and Carried Interest on such Fund and includes the amount of assets of such Co-Investment Fund in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. In the case of direct co-investments, Winona does not consider the investment to be a Fund or a client, does not act as the investment manager to the co-investment portion of the investment, does not charge Management Fees, Carried Interest or other fees to the investment, does not have custody of the investment or include the amount of assets of the co-investment in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. In such direct co-investment opportunities, Winona will perform management, advisory and other services for the portfolio companies in which these co-investors invest, generally at no additional cost to such co-investors except portfolio company fees and expenses (which such fees and expenses are recorded at the portfolio company). Opportunities to participate in co-investment transactions arise when Winona has the opportunity for an investment in an existing or prospective portfolio company and Winona determines that (i) an investment requires additional capital, (ii) all or a portion of the applicable opportunity is not required to be offered to a Fund, (iii) the full investment opportunity is not appropriate for a Fund, whether due to concentration restrictions contained in the Fund’s Governing Documents or otherwise or (iv) Winona believes the Fund will benefit from the participation of the co-investor(s). Such determinations are based on the provisions of the applicable Governing Documents, side letter agreements and such other factors as Winona will consider in its sole discretion, including those specified in its policies on investment allocation and co-investments. Subject to any restrictions contained in the Governing Documents of the relevant Fund or any side letter or other terms negotiated with respect to such Fund, in general no investor has a right to participate in any co- investment opportunity. Winona’s exercise of discretion in allocating co-investment opportunities often will not result in proportional allocations among co-investors and such allocations can be more or less advantageous to some co-investors relative to other co-investors. When co-investment opportunities are permitted, it is possible that the size of the investment opportunity otherwise available to Winona’s Fund(s) will be less than it would otherwise have been without the inclusion of such co-investors. Winona will select the investors that are permitted to co-invest in a particular portfolio company in its sole discretion based on various factors, including those detailed in its Governing Documents and as outlined in its internal policies and procedures. While one or more investors in the Funds are on occasion invited to co-invest in a Fund’s portfolio companies, Winona is authorized in its sole discretion to offer any or all of a co-investment opportunity to investors that are not investors in the Funds. Winona will select which investors and/or third parties are permitted to co-invest in a particular portfolio company based on various factors, including the sophistication of the investor, ... |
