A. Phase 3 is a Delaware limited Llability company formed in March 2018 for the purpose of
providing investment advisory services to institutional clients, pooled investment vehicles,
and private funds (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Clients” or “Client”). Phase 3 is
wholly owned by Phase 3 Holdings LP, which is majority owned by Ethan Youderian.
B. Phase 3 is typically granted broad and flexible investment discretion with respect to its
advisory Clients. Phase 3’s principal investment objective is to achieve attractive risk
adjusted returns, primarily by employing relative value, directional, fundamental, volatility
and event-driven strategies in pursuit of investment opportunities.
C. Phase 3 manages investments for Clients in accordance with the investment objectives,
strategies, guidelines, and terms and conditions, outlined in each Client’s applicable
investment management agreement, confidential private placement memorandum or
equivalent governing document (“Offering Document”). Phase 3 does not, however,
provide individualized investment advice or tailor its advisory services to the individual
needs of investors in the private funds to which it provides investment advisory services.
Nonetheless, Phase 3 may enter into side letters with certain investors which would alter
or supplement a fund’s Offering Document. Phase 3 performs advisory services for Clients
that are pooled investment vehicles treated as separately managed accounts and such
services are individually tailored to such Clients.
D. Phase 3 does not participate in wrap-fee programs.
E. Phase 3 manages $2,115,998,571 on a discretionary basis as of February 29, 2020.
Investors in private funds managed by Phase 3 (a “Fund”, the “Funds” or “Clients”) should review not only this brochure but also the full contents of the Offering Document or similar document for any Fund in which they are considering investing. This brochure is intended to be a general summary of advisory services provided by Phase 3 to its general Client base. This brochure may be both supplemented and superseded by the Offering Documents for any Fund.

Phase 3 may receive a series of different types of fees from Clients. A Client’s fees are
dependent upon the individually negotiated investment management agreements for
each. Fees may vary between or among Clients and between or among share classes
within a single Fund Client. Some of the types of fees that may be earned by Phase 3
include compensation in the form a reimbursement for its operating expenses,
management fees based upon a percentage of assets under management, and fees
based upon capital gains of client accounts (also referred to as performance fees).
While fee collection mechanisms may vary, in general, the typical fee collection
mechanisms for Clients will involve management fees charged quarterly in advance and
performance fees paid annually in arrears. Expense pass through arrangements will
typically be managed via a Phase 3 payment and reimbursement system with the Clients.
Investment management agreements between Phase 3 and Clients may also include
provisions pursuant to which the Clients are responsible for their own operating expenses.
For example, Fund Clients may be responsible for their own audit, fund administration,
tax, legal and regulatory expenses. These arrangements will typically be presented in
greater detail in the Offering Document or similar governing document for each Fund or in
the investment management agreements for managed account clients.
At this time neither Phase 3, nor any of its supervised persons, accept compensation for
the sale of securities or other investment products.

Phase 3 may charge performance-based fees to its Clients as discussed in Item 5. Please
refer to Item 5 for a description of performance-based fees charged by Phase 3.
Performance-based fee arrangements may vary between or among the Clients of any
adviser. Phase 3 fees may vary between or among Clients, or between or among share
classes within the same Fund Client. Any variance in performance-based fee
arrangements may create the incentive for an adviser to allocate its highest performing
investments to the Clients from whom it receives the largest fee.
Should this fee variance arise between or among the Clients of Phase 3, Phase 3 will
attempt to mitigate such a potential conflict via its trade allocation policies and the testing
of such policies to ensure fair and equitable trade allocations.

Phase 3 may provide advisory services to institutional investors via a managed account
arrangement or to private fund Clients. Phase 3 will tailor its investment objectives to
specific Clients. Such investment objectives, fee arrangements and terms will be
individually negotiated. Any such separately managed account relationships are generally
also subject to significant account minimums. Phase 3 may also provide investment
advisory services to private fund Clients, or other types of institutional Clients in the future.
Phase 3 does not tailor its investment advice to the individual investors of private fund
Clients.

INVESTMENTS MANAGED BY PHASE 3 MAY BE DEEMED TO BE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS AND ARE NOT INTENDED AS A COMPLETE INVESTMENT PROGRAM. INVESTMENTS MANAGED BY PHASE 3 ARE DESIGNED ONLY FOR SOPHISTICATED PERSONS WHO CAN BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF THE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT AND WHO HAVE A LIMITED NEED FOR SHORT TERM LIQUIDITY IN THEIR INVESTMENT PROGRAM. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT PHASE 3 WILL ACHIEVE ITS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE ON BEHALF OF ANY CLIENT, INCLUDING ANY PRIVATE FUND CLIENT. A. Phase 3’s investment objective is to achieve attractive risk adjusted returns, primarily by
employing relative value, directional, fundamental, volatility and event-driven strategies.
In terms of Phase 3's investment process, Phase 3 implements one or more of the
following investment and trading approaches on behalf of its Clients: capital structure
arbitrage, convertible bond arbitrage, volatility arbitrage, sector and other relative value
investing, new issue investing, technical/flow, fundamental credit and other fundamental
investment strategies. The foregoing list is not all inclusive and Phase 3 anticipates the
continued development of its investment and trading approaches.
Phase 3 intends to pursue the investment objective described above and will generally
follow the outlined investment strategies for so long as such strategies are in accord with
Clients’ investment approaches and may also formulate new approaches to carry out the
overall objective of Clients.
B. Risk Factors
An investment managed by Phase 3 involves significant risks and is suitable only for those
persons who can bear the economic risk of the loss of their entire investment, who have
limited need for liquidity in their investments, and who have met the conditions set forth in
the Offering Documents for any fund in which they plan to invest. There can be no
assurance that Phase 3 will achieve its investment objectives for Clients. An investment
managed by Phase 3 carries with it the inherent risks associated with investments in
equities, equity-related securities, debt, the use of short sales, futures and leverage.
Investment and Trading Risks
Corporate Securities in General
Prices for corporate securities in general are affected by numerous, often complex and
interrelated, factors. A non-exhaustive list of price influences that may affect one or more
issuers or industry sectors, the market for a particular security type, the markets in various
jurisdictions and/or other aspects of the Adviser’s trading, includes the following: interest
rates; inflation; general economic conditions; geopolitical forces; currency conditions and
foreign exchange rates; market sentiment; analyst research and/or media reports; trading
patterns and/or market trends; the availability of credit; credit spreads; an issuer’s financial
condition, including its creditworthiness; corporate announcements and events earnings,
such as mergers, bankruptcies, insolvencies, and proxy contests; other conditions
affecting an issuer’s business, such as competition, product offerings; lawsuits and/or
fraud: price-earnings ratios or other metrics; weather or climate forces; and regulatory
conditions or potential regulatory changes.
U.S. Government Agency Securities
The Adviser may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises. Included among the obligations
issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government are: instruments that are
supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S., such as certificates issued by the U.S.
Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”); instruments that are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury (the “Treasury”) such
as securities of U.S. Federal Home Loan Banks; and instruments that are supported solely
by the credit of the issuing instrumentality such as the U.S. Federal National Mortgage
Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the U.S. Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(“Freddie Mac”). The Fund may also invest in separately traded principal and interest
components of securities guaranteed or issued by the U.S. government or its agencies,
instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if such components trade independently under
the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities Program or any
similar program sponsored by the U.S. government. The U.S. government is not obligated
by law to provide support to or guarantee the obligations of an instrumentality it sponsors,
and each of the obligations issued by such sponsored entities therefore carries the credit
risk of each such issuer. In addition, as a result of the 2007-2009 global economic crises,
the U.S. government has previously intervened to provide additional support to certain of
its agencies and instrumentalities including Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Sovereign Debt
The Adviser may invest directly and indirectly through derivative instruments, including
swaps and credit default swap indices, in sovereign debt instruments. The issuers of
sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may
be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Account may have
limited recourse in the event of a default. A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to
repay principal and pay interest in a timely manner may be affected by, among other
factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability
of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the sovereign debtor’s policy
toward international lenders and the political constraints to which a sovereign debtor may
be subject. Furthermore, these entities may be entitled to claim sovereign immunity from
any claims made against them should they default on any of their obligations under such
loans. Such a claim may hinder, or prevent entirely, the recovery of any loss suffered as
a result of such default.
Repurchase Agreements
The Adviser may enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements
with respect to securities. Repurchase agreements involve credit risk to the extent that
the Account’s counterparties may avoid such obligations in bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings, thereby exposing the Account to unanticipated losses. The amount of credit
risk incurred by the Account with respect to a repurchase agreement will depend in part
on the extent to which the obligation of the Account’s counterparty is secured by sufficient
collateral. In reverse repurchase agreements the Account is exposed to the risk that a
counterparty fails to make substitute payments of interest or principal on underlying
collateral held or fails to return appreciated securities that the counterparty holds.
Corporate Debt Obligations, Convertible Securities and High-Yield Securities
The Adviser may invest in corporate debt obligations. The Adviser may also invest in
convertible securities, which are securities that may be exchanged or converted into a
predetermined number of the issuer’s underlying shares or the shares of another
company, or securities that are indexed to an unmanaged market index, at the option of
the holder during a specified time period, and high-yield securities.
The market value of debt securities generally tends to decline as interest rates increase
and conversely, increase as interest rates decline. Convertible securities also appreciate
when the underlying security appreciates, and conversely, depreciate when the underlying
security depreciates. Debt obligations are subject to the risk of an issuer’s inability to meet
principal and interest payments on the obligations,
i.e., credit risk. The Adviser may
actively expose the Account to credit risk. However, there can be no guarantee that the
Adviser will be successful in making the right selections and thus fully mitigate the impact
of credit risk changes on the Account.
Options
The purchase or sale of an option involves the payment or receipt of a premium by the
investor and the corresponding right or obligation, as the case may be, to either purchase
or sell the underlying security, commodity or other instrument for a specific price at a
certain time or during a certain period. Purchasing options involves the risk that the
underlying instrument will not change price in the manner expected, so that the investor
loses its premium. Selling options involves potentially greater risk because the investor is
exposed to the extent of the actual price movement in the underlying security rather than
only the premium payment received (which could result in a potentially unlimited loss).
Over-the-counter options also involve counterparty solvency risk.
Derivatives
To the extent that Clients invest in swaps, derivative or synthetic instruments, repurchase
agreements or other over-the-counter transactions or, in certain circumstances, non-U.S.
securities, Clients may take a credit risk with regard to parties with whom it trades and
may also bear the risk of settlement default. These risks may differ materially from those
entailed in exchange-traded transactions that generally are backed by clearing
organization guarantees, daily mark-to-market and settlement, and segregation and
minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Transactions entered directly
between two counterparties generally do not benefit from such protections and expose the
parties to the risk of counterparty default. It is expected that all securities and other assets
deposited with custodians or brokers will be clearly identified as being assets (directly or
indirectly) of Clients, and hence Clients should not be exposed to a credit risk with regard
to such parties. However, it may not always be possible to achieve this segregation, and
there may be practical or time problems associated with enforcing rights to its assets in
the case of an insolvency of any such party.
Futures Trading is Speculative and Volatile
The Adviser’s strategy involves significant risks not associated with traditional, “long‐only”
investing in the equity and debt markets. Speculative trading in the futures markets
typically results in volatile performance. The price movements of futures contracts are
influenced by changing supply and demand relationships, agricultural, trade, fiscal,
monetary and exchange control programs and policies, national and international political
and economic events, crop diseases, climate, the purchasing and marketing programs of
different nations, changes in interest rates and numerous other factors. In addition,
governments occasionally intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets,
particularly those in currencies and interest rates. Government intervention is often
intended to influence prices directly. The Adviser cannot control these factors nor give
assurance that its advice will result in profitable trades for the Fund or that the Fund will
not incur substantial losses.
Trading Limits on Futures Contracts
Most U.S. futures exchanges impose fluctuation limits on the amount by which the price
of a futures contract traded on the exchange may vary during a single day. Daily price
fluctuation limits may reduce liquidity or effectively curtail trading in particular markets. If
the price of a contract increases or decreases past the daily limit, traders may not take or
liquidate positions in the contract. Contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily
limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. This could prevent the Adviser
from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses
that could exceed the margin initially committed. Daily limits may reduce liquidity but they
do not limit ultimate losses, because the limits apply only on a day‐to‐day basis. Even if
contract prices do not reach the daily limit, the Adviser may not be able to execute trades
at favorable prices when there is only light trading in the contracts involved. The Adviser
may also execute trades on non‐U.S. markets that may be substantially more prone to
periods of illiquidity than the U.S. markets.
General Risk Factors
Limited Operating History
Phase 3 has limited operating history. The past performance of the principals and
investors trading on behalf of Phase 3 may not be indicative of future performance or its
investments.
General Economic and Market Conditions
The success of Phase 3 with respect to its investing activities for Clients will be affected
by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit,
credit defaults, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws
relating to taxation of a Fund’s investments), trade barriers, currency exchange controls,
and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts or
security operations). These factors may affect the level and volatility of the prices and the
liquidity of a Fund’s investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair a Fund’s profitability
or result in losses. A Fund may maintain substantial trading positions that can be adversely
affected by the level of volatility in the financial markets.
Financial Markets and Government Intervention
Phase 3’s investment and strategy may entail significant risk of substantial volatility and
loss. This may be especially true due to the failures and near failures of significant
institutions, dislocations in other investment markets, corporate defaults, poor collateral
performance or other extrinsic events. Although some governments and regulatory
authorities, such as the U.S. federal government and the U.S. Federal Reserve and the
governments and regulatory authorities of certain member countries of the European
Union, have taken, and some others may take in the near future, actions to provide or
arrange credit supports to financial institutions whose operations have been compromised
by the current credit market dislocations and to restore liquidity and stability to the financial
system in such jurisdictions, the implementation of such governmental interventions and
their impact on both the credit markets generally and a Fund’s investment program in
particular are uncertain. Furthermore, U.S. government intervention in particular might not
be sufficient to stabilize the U.S. financial services sector and mitigate resulting volatility
in the U.S. credit markets. As a result, the supply and price of the targeted portfolio
investments of a Fund and therefore the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective,
may be substantially impaired.
Leverage
Many of the strategies employed by Phase 3 on behalf of Clients involve the use of
significant leverage. Financial leverage has the effect of magnifying investment gains and
losses. Due to the use of leverage, investments managed by Phase 3 may be vulnerable
to large price movements. Therefore, such investments could sustain large losses relative
to the size of capital investments.
Terrorist Action
There is a risk of terrorist attacks on the United States and elsewhere, potentially causing
significant loss of life and property damage and disruptions in global markets. Economic
and diplomatic sanctions may be in place or imposed on certain states, and military action
may be commenced. The impact of such events is unclear but could have material adverse
effects on general economic conditions and market liquidity.
Economic Conditions due to Coronavirus
The coronavirus epidemic could result in a general economic decline and have an adverse
impact on Client investments, or Phase 3’s ability to source new investments or to realize
its investments, in particular if such an epidemic persists for an extended period of time or
continues to spread globally.
It is very important to refer to the respective Offering Documents for a complete understanding of the material risks involved with Phase 3’s investment strategies. The information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the relevant governing documents.

Trading A. Pursuant to Rule 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”),
Phase 3 has adopted a written code of ethics (“Code of Ethics”) that sets forth standards
of conduct expected of employees and addresses conflicts that can arise from personal
trading. Phase 3’s Code of Ethics describes its fiduciary duties and responsibilities to
Clients and sets forth Phase 3’s practice of supervising the personal securities
transactions of its employees. The Code of Ethics requires all employees to place Clients’
interests ahead of Phase 3’s interests and to maintain full compliance with any applicable
federal and state securities laws governing registered investment advisory practices.
Phase 3 will provide a complete copy of its Code of Ethics to any investor or prospective
investor upon request made to the CCO at Phase 3’s principal address.
B. N/A
C. Phase 3 manages the potential conflicts of interest inherent in personal trading by
employees, related persons, and access persons (collectively “Covered Persons”) by
rigorous enforcement of its Code of Ethics, which contains limitations on Covered Persons’
personal investment activities, including pre-clearance requirements and reporting
guidelines for Covered Persons. Phase 3 receives transactions and holdings reports in
accordance with Advisers Act Rule 204A-1. The Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), or his
designee, reviews Covered Persons’ personal transactions and holdings reports to make
sure each Covered Person is conducting his or her personal securities transactions in a
manner that is consistent with the Code of Ethics. One of Phase 3’s founding principals
reviews the CCO’s personal transactions and holdings reports and has approval authority
for his personal trading requests. With the exception of large- and mid-cap companies,
Covered Persons are prohibited from personal trading in publicly-traded securities without
seeking pre-approval from the CCO. Phase 3’s Covered Persons may also purchase and
sell mutual funds, money market funds, certificates of deposit, treasury securities, co-op
securities, open-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and municipal bonds without pre-
clearance and private investments with pre-clearance.
Notwithstanding the restrictions on personal trading as described above, a Covered
Person may have an account where all transactions do not require pre-approval if (a) the
Covered Person delegates to a professional investment adviser full investment discretion
over the account, (b) the Covered Person confirms that he or she will not exercise
investment discretion over the account or directly or indirectly influence any investment
decisions for the account, and (c) such professional investment adviser confirms that he
or she will independently manage the account, as any such account is not subject to the
reporting requirements under Rule 204A-1.
D. See C above.

A. Phase 3 is typically authorized to determine the broker, dealer or counterparty to be used
in connection with Client transactions. In selecting brokers, dealers or counterparties to
execute transactions, Phase 3 need not solicit competitive bids and does not have an
obligation to seek the lowest available commission cost. It is not Phase 3’s practice to
negotiate “execution only” commission rates, thus Phase 3 may be deemed to be paying
for research, brokerage, or other services provided by the broker which are included in the
commission rate.
Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is a “safe harbor” that
permits an investment manager to use commissions or “soft dollars” to obtain research
and brokerage services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to the investment
decision-making process. Phase 3 will limit the use of “soft dollars” to obtain research and
brokerage services to services which constitute research and brokerage within the
meaning of Section 28(e).
In some instances, Phase 3 may receive a product or service that may be used only
partially for functions within Section 28(e) (e.g., an order management system, trade
analytical software, or proxy services). In such instances, Phase 3 will make a good faith
effort to determine the relative proportion of the product or service used to assist Phase 3
in carrying out its investment decision-making responsibilities and the relative proportion
used for administrative or other purposes outside Section 28(e). The proportion of the
product or service attributable to assisting Phase 3 in carrying out its investment decision-
making responsibilities will be paid through brokerage commissions generated by Client
transactions and the proportion attributable to administrative or other purposes outside
Section 28(e) will be paid for by Phase 3 from its own resources.
Research and brokerage services obtained by the use of commissions arising from Client
portfolio transactions may be used by Phase 3 in its other investment activities and thus,
Phase 3 may not necessarily, in any particular instance, be the direct or indirect beneficiary
of the research or brokerage services provided.
Although Phase 3 will make a good faith determination that the amount of commissions
paid is reasonable in light of the products or services provided by a broker, commission
rates are generally negotiable and thus, selecting brokers on the basis of considerations
that are not limited to the applicable commission rates may result in higher transaction
costs than would otherwise be obtainable. The receipt of such products or services and
the determination of the appropriate allocation of “mixed use” products or services create
a potential conflict of interest between Phase 3 and its Clients.
In selecting brokers and negotiating commission rates, Phase 3 will take into account the
price quotes; the size of the transaction; the nature of the market of the security; the timing
of the transaction; difficulty of execution; the broker-dealer’s expertise in the specific
security or sector in which Phase 3 seeks to trade; the extent to which the broker-dealer
makes a market in the security involved or has access to such markets; availability of
accurate information regarding the market for the security; the broker-dealer’s skill in
positioning the securities involved; the broker-dealer’s promptness of execution; the
broker-dealer’s financial stability; adequacy of the broker-dealer’s trading infrastructure,
technology and capital; the broker-dealer’s reputation for diligence, fairness and integrity;
quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer in other transactions for Phase 3;
confidentiality considerations; the quality and usefulness of research services and
investment ideas presented by the broker-dealer; the broker-dealer’s ability and
willingness to correct errors; the broker-dealer’s ability to accommodate any special
execution or order handling that may surround the particular transaction; and other factors
deemed appropriate by Phase 3. Phase 3 may place transactions with a broker or dealer
that: (i) provides Phase 3 with the opportunity to participate in capital introduction events
sponsored by the broker-dealer; or (ii) refers investors to Phase 3 or other products
advised by Phase 3, if otherwise consistent with seeking best execution; provided that
Phase 3 is not selecting the broker-dealer as remuneration for the opportunity to
participate in such capital introduction events or the referral of investors.
B. When appropriate, Phase 3 may, but is not required to, aggregate Client orders to achieve
more efficient execution or to provide for equitable treatment among accounts. Clients
participating in aggregated trades will be allocated securities based on the average price
achieved for such trades.
Phase 3 may maintain accounts with the prime brokers and/or executing brokers, through
which Phase 3 may execute trades, borrow securities, and maintain custody of its
securities.
Phase 3 reserves the right to change the brokerage and custodial arrangements described
above.

Phase 3 does not maintain custody of the assets of managed account clients. However,
Phase 3 is deemed to have custody of the private funds it manages by virtue of its status
as investment manager and managing member. Phase 3 will maintain the assets of the
private funds in their own name in accounts with “qualified custodians” pursuant to Rule
206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act. To ensure compliance with Rule 206(4)-2, investors will
be provided with audited financial statements prepared by an independent accounting firm
that is registered with, and subject to review by, the Public Company Account Oversight
Board, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Account Principles, within 90 days of
the end of the private fund’s fiscal year. Investors should carefully review such audited
financial statements.

Investment advice is provided directly to Clients on a discretionary basis. With respect to
Fund Clients, this advice is provided to the Fund as a whole and not to individual investors
in the Funds.
Investment advisory services are provided to private Fund Clients in accordance with the
governing documents of each Fund.
Phase 3 is authorized to exercise discretion to determine what securities to trade on behalf
of Clients. This discretion includes, but is not limited to, discretion over the amount and
timing of transactions or securities as well as the choice of executing brokers for such
transactions. All limitations and restrictions placed upon Client investments, such as in
the form of a side letter agreement, must be presented to Phase 3 and agreed to in writing
by Phase 3 and such investor.

A. Phase 3 has adopted a proxy voting policy which it believes is reasonably designed to
ensure that proxies are voted in the best interest of its Clients and in accordance with its
fiduciary duties and Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act, as amended. Phase 3 will
generally seek to vote proxies in a way that attempts to maximize the value of Clients’
assets, subject to any Phase 3 specific proxy voting instructions and restrictions mandated
by Phase 3’s Clients. The CCO coordinates Phase 3’s proxy voting process.
In the event that the presence of a proxy-related material conflict of interest between the
interests of Phase 3 and one or more of its Clients is identified, a shareholder’s
representative elected by the vote of the Fund’s investors in the case of a Fund, or the
Client itself in the case of an individual Client, will be consulted in order to assess the
appropriateness of Phase 3’s vote on behalf of the Client or a Fund. The Client or
shareholder’s representative may be informed of Phase 3’s opinion related to the vote but
must also be informed of the potential conflict of interest in great detail, providing any and
all information related to the conflict that is necessary to understand the nature of such
conflict. Additionally, any further information requested by the shareholder’s
representative or the Client related to the vote or Phase 3’s conflict of interest must be
provided directly to the shareholder’s representative or the Client directly by the CCO.
The CCO will ensure that Phase 3 complies with all proxy voting rules and recordkeeping
requirements under the rules. Investors may obtain a copy of Phase 3’s proxy voting
policies and procedures upon request to the Chief Compliance Officer at Phase 3’s
principal office.
