Primary Wave is an investment adviser focused on investing in music intellectual property, including music catalogs, copyrights, royalty streams and related rights. The Firm is located in New York, NY. The Firm is majority owned by PWMP Ventures LLC. B. The Firm provides investment advisory services to Primary Wave Music IP Fund 1 LP ( “Fund 1”) and Primary Wave Music IP Fund 2, LP (“Fund 2” and together with Fund 1, the “Funds”), each a Delaware limited partnership formed as private equity pooled investment vehicles. Primary Wave provides discretionary investment management services to the Funds in accordance with the applicable limited partnership agreements, investment management agreements, operating agreements, offering memoranda and other such agreements (the “Offering Documents”). Primary Wave Music IP Fund 1 GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is Fund 1’s General Partner (“Fund 1 General Partner”). Primary Wave Music IP Fund 2 GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the Fund 2’s General Partner (“Fund 2 General Partner” and together with Fund 1 General Partner, the “General Partners”). The Offering Documents of the Funds typically allow the General Partners to control the business and affairs of the Funds. The Firm also provides discretionary sub‐advisory services to PW Publishing Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed as a private equity pooled investment vehicle (the “Co‐Investment Vehicle”) to co‐invest in certain selected music related investment opportunities alongside Fund 1 and Fund 2. The Co‐Investment limited partner investment rights are outlined in the Co‐Investment governing documents. It should be noted that the Co‐Investment Vehicle’s independent manager has sole discretionary authority with respect to which Music Assets (as described below) may be added to its portfolio. Thereafter, Primary Wave has discretionary authority over the Co‐Investment Vehicle. The Funds along with the Co‐Investment Vehicle are each considered a “Client” and collectively, the “Client Accounts”. Primary Wave will focus on investing in a portfolio of music copyrights through acquisitions, administration, advances and structured agreements in relation to music royalty interests from a range of genres and artists in the music publishing industry. The Firm will have discretion to invest in a wide range of music copyrights and royalty streams, including, but not limited to, assets that are known in the music industry as music publishing, writers share, administration income, producer royalties, master royalties and neighboring rights (each a “Music Asset” and collectively “Music Assets”). It is anticipated that the Clients will generate current income over the life of the Clients and income attributable to the sale of assets. C. Other than the Co‐Investment Vehicle’s independent manager’s sole discretionary authority with respect to which Music Assets may be added to its portfolio, Primary Wave does not expect to tailor advisory services to any individual or particular needs of the investors in the Client Accounts. Such investors accept the terms of advisory services as set forth in each Offering Documents/Co‐Investment governing document. The Firm expects to have broad investment authority with respect to the Client Accounts and, as such, investors should consider whether the investment objectives of the Client Accounts are in line with their individual objectives and risk tolerance prior to investment. It should be noted that the Funds and/or the General Partners, without any further act, approval or vote of any investor, has entered into, and may enter into after the date hereof, side letters or other similar agreements with certain investors that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of, the Offering Documents, which may make the rights of such investors different than the rights of other investors.
