Slate Creek Capital, LLC is dedicated to providing investment management services to institutional
and high-net worth clients. Slate Creek works closely and jointly with its clients to assess their
budgetary and cash flow needs, long-term financial goals, investment risk tolerances and other
factors that may impact their investment portfolio. Slate Creek recommends and implements a
custom and diversified investment strategy for each of its advisory clients.
Slate Creek is a limited liability company founded in 2019 and has been in the business as an
investment adviser since inception. It is wholly owned by Dave Falicia, who is also the chief
compliance officer, and Scott Fox.
Slate Creek provides fully integrated investment management and wealth planning services to its
clients. These services are provided through the following investment programs.
Discretionary Private Client Portfolio Management. Slate Creek provides discretionary advice
and portfolio management services to high-net worth individuals and their families.
Private Investment Opportunities. Slate Creek sources, structures sponsors and manages
private equity, real estate and financing investment opportunities for its advisory clients
through special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”). Private equity and debt SPVs will be considered
advisory clients of Slate Creek. The SPVs will be available to both Discretionary Private Client
Portfolio Management clients and other qualified persons who choose to invest in such
opportunities.
Slate Creek’s services are based on the individual needs of its advisory clients and it tailors its
investment recommendations to each client’s goals. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions in
the written investment management agreement and investment policy statement with Slate Creek
and Slate Creek will work with clients to determine the feasibility of implementing and monitoring
for proposed restrictions and/or limitations. Clients’ investment management agreements and
investment policy statements also include information about their accounts’ other investment
guidelines, management fees, termination rights and proxy voting. Clients may generally terminate
their agreements with Slate Creek following 30 days written notice.
Unless they have a separate investment management agreement with Slate Creek, investors in Slate
Creek’s private SPVs are not considered Slate Creek’s advisory clients. With respect to each SPV, this
Brochure is qualified in its entirety by the SPV’s offering memorandum, term sheet, operating or
limited partnership agreement or similar disclosure and governing documents (collectively, the
“offering documents”).
In certain circumstances to meet client needs, Slate Creek may recommend that all or a portion of the
client’s assets under management be placed under the management of an outside and unaffiliated
registered investment advisory (“third-party adviser”) depending on the individual circumstances
(including his or her investment objectives and risk tolerance). In these situations, Slate Creek will
work directly with the client to select and monitor the desired service. The third-party adviser will
provide discretionary money management, reporting, and custodial services, as well as other
services described in their marketing materials and contracts.
Under these arrangements, Slate Creek acts in the capacity of a solicitor. Solicitation arrangements
are governed by separate agreements provided by the third-party adviser. In each instance, clients
will be provided copies of the documents to establish such arrangements as well as the third-party
Adviser’s ADV Part 2 Brochure. Slate Creek encourages clients to review these documents. Slate
Creek will also enter separate contracts with clients who utilize third-party advisers. The separate
contracts will describe the services and compensation that Slate Creek provides under the
solicitation arrangement. For our compensation, we receive “solicitation fee,” which is a portion of
the third-party adviser’s management fee.
Solicitor fees create a financial incentive to recommend third-party advisers who pay a higher
portion of the management fee. Slate Creek mitigates the conflict of interest to the best of its ability
by acting in the client’s best interests through its fiduciary duty and by informing clients that they
have the right to choose whether or not to purchase to purchase recommended third-party adviser
services through Slate Creek.
Slate Creek does not participate in wrap fee programs.
As of the date of this brochure, Slate Creek does not manage any client assets.

For the Discretionary Private Client Portfolio Management program, Slate Creek receives a
management fee which is negotiated with clients upon entering into an investment management
agreement. Management fees will vary depending on the amount of assets under management, but
will typically be paid pursuant to the following schedule:
Assets Under ManagementFee
1.0 - 2.5 million1%
2.5 - 5 million0.75%
More than 5 million0.50%
Slate Creek charges management fees on a quarterly basis in advance. The management fees are
based on the custodian reported account value as of the last business day of the previous quarter.
The client authorizes Slate Creek with the ability to instruction the custodian to collect its
management fees. When collecting the management fees, Slate Creek will send the client and the
custodian a fee invoice detailing the amount of the management fee, the time period covered by the
management fee, the value of the assets upon which the management fee is based and the manner in
which the management fee was calculated.
The management fee is tiered. A tiered fee means the applicable rate will be applied to the custodian
reported value in each applicable range of account value. For example, an account with a quarter end
value of $3,000,000 will be charged at a rate of 1.00% for the first $2,500,000 and 0.75% for the
remaining $500,000.
To the extent a client terminates the advisory relationship during a quarter, the client will receive a
refund of its pro-rata amount of fees rendered to the point of termination.
Slate Creek may, in its sole discretion, charge lower management fees based on certain criteria,
including investment strategy, client type, client domicile, account composition or size, and other
factors Slate Creek deems relevant. Slate Creek, in its sole discretion, may also waive or charge lower
management and/or performance fees for employees, affiliates or relatives of such persons. Slate
Creek may also enter into “side letter” agreements with certain investors in the SPVs to provide more
favorable investment terms to these investors than those described in a SPV’s offering documents.
For the Private Investment Opportunities program, Slate Creek may receive a management fee
and/or carried interest or a performance allocation from an SPV upon exiting an investment. SPV
investors will also bear the ordinary expenses of the SPV including administration, organizational,
investment, legal, accounting, audit and other professional fees and expenses. An administration fee
may be charged to cover such costs or the investors will otherwise bear their pro-rata portion of such
expenses through their ownership in the SPV. If a Discretionary Private Client Portfolio Management
client invests in a SPV, then Slate Creek will waive its fees such that the client will not pay
management fees for both the Private Investment Opportunities program and the Discretionary
Private Client Portfolio Management program simultaneously. However, such client will be subject
to any carried interest or performance allocation applicable to the SPV and will also bear its share of
the SPV’s expenses.
Clients participating in any of Slate Creek’s investment programs may incur operational and
transaction fees, costs and expenses imposed by custodians, brokers, prime brokers and other third-
parties. Clients invested in pooled investment vehicles which include mutual funds, ETFs, the SPVs
and other private investment funds such as private equity or venture capital funds and other similar
pooled investments will also incur fees and expenses associated with an investment in the vehicle
which may include organizational fees, management fees, performance allocations and other costs
and expenses. Last, clients may also incur wire transfer fees and trustee fees.
When Slate Creek recommends a third-party adviser, it acts as a solicitor and it does not charge a
separate fee for the services. Instead, Slate Creek enters into an agreement with the third-party
adviser and shares in a portion of the third-party adviser’s management fee that is charged to the
client. Slate Creek’s portion can be up to 50% of the third-party adviser’s management fee. The exact
amount will be disclosed in the third-party adviser’s ADV Part 2A, client agreement and Solicitor
Disclosure Document. Additionally, when the management fee is withdrawn (quarterly or monthly,
in advance or in arrears) will vary with each third-party adviser. These details will be disclosed in
the third-party adviser’s ADV Part 2A, client agreement and the third-party adviser’s Solicitor
Disclosure Document; all documents will be given to the client upon solicitation.
As established in Item 10 – Other Industry Affiliations, by receiving a portion of the third-party
adviser’s management fee, this creates a conflict of interest for Slate Creek. The sharing of the
management fees creates a financial incentive to recommend third-party advisers that would pay
Slate Creek a higher percentage of their fee. Slate Creek mitigates the conflict of interest to the best
of its ability by always placing the client’s interest ahead of its own, through its fiduciary duty and by
following its Code of Ethics that establishes ideals for ethical conduct. Additionally, clients always
have the right to use accept or reject Slate Creek’s recommendation.

As discussed in Item 5 above, Slate Creek receives performance-based fees upon exit of SPV
investments made through the Private Investment Opportunities program. Carried interest
arrangements are subject to Section 205(a)(1) of, and Rule 205
‐3 under, the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Detailed information regarding performance-based fees
charged to an SPV will be provided in each SPV’s governing documents. If Slate Creek enters into
carried interest arrangements, it creates a financial incentive for Slate Creek to invest SPVs in riskier
or more speculative instruments through the Private Investment Opportunities program. This
conflict of interest is mitigated by the fact that Slate Creek does not have discretion to invest its clients
in an SPV without their consent; rather clients choose to invest, through the SPVs, in specific assets
identified to clients by Slate Creek. Additionally, Slate Creek informs clients that they always have
the right to choose whether to act on any recommendation and that they have the right to purchase
recommended SPVs through any registered investment adviser.

Slate Creek provides investment advisory and wealth management services primarily to institutional
and high-net worth investors, including related entities such as family limited partnerships and
limited liability companies, trusts and foundations. We do not have a stated minimum to open an
account, however our clients typically have at least $1 million of investable assets under our
management.
Slate Creek also provides investment advisory services to its private equity and debt SPV clients, as
well as its non-discretionary institutional clients.

Slate Creek takes a holistic and diversified approach to managing client portfolios and considers a
given client’s assets, income, liquidity requirements, risk tolerance, and investment horizon.
Investment strategies for the Discretionary Private Client Portfolio Management program are
tailored over time based on clients’ changing needs and appetite for risk. Generally, strategies for
institutional advisory clients will have a shorter timeframe and will focus more heavily on cash and
near cash components.
Slate Creek’s asset allocation and security selection are based on our fundamental analysis of
securities and investment products as well our view on macro-economic trends. In addition, clients
may be invested with third-party advisers. Slate Creek conducts independent review of, and relies
upon, the investment materials and other reports produced by those third-party advisers, however,
Slate Creek will not normally perform independent research on specific securities or other assets
selected for investment by a third-party advisers.
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
No guarantee or representation is made that our investment programs will be successful, that a client
will achieve targeted returns or that there will be any return of capital invested. Investment results
may vary substantially over time. Slate Creek’s methods of attempting to minimize such risks may
not accurately predict future risk exposures. Risk management techniques are based in part on the
observation of historical market behavior, which may not predict market divergences that are larger
than historical indicators. Also, information used to manage risks may not be accurate, complete or
current, and such information may be misinterpreted.
Investing and trading activities risk the loss of capital. This Brochure is not intended to address every
potential risk and certain risks described below may only apply to certain clients depending on a
client’s goals and objectives. Some of these risks may include:
Investment and Trading Risks. Clients may be invested in securities and other financial
instruments using strategies and investment techniques with significant risk characteristics,
including risks arising from the volatility of financial markets. The performance of any
investment may depend on a number of factors, including conditions in regional and local
economies, conditions in the securities markets generally, performance of companies in
particular industries or regions and political and technological developments.
Investment Selection. In making its investment recommendations, Slate Creek often relies on
information and data provided and prepared by third parties. Although we the intend to
evaluate the accuracy and importance of such information and data, we will not always be in
a position to confirm the completeness, genuineness, or accuracy of such information and
data.
General Economic and Market Conditions. A client’s performance may be affected by general
economic and market conditions and factors that impact the investments, such as interest or
currency rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and national, and international political
developments. These fluctuations may be temporary or may last for extended periods.
Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair a portfolio’s profitability or result in losses.
Equity Markets and Stock Price Volatility. U.S. and foreign equities markets have experienced
tumultuous times in the past reflected in highly volatile market prices for listed securities.
Certain factors may have a significant impact on the market price of securities and,
consequently, may adversely affect a client’s portfolio, such as general economic data,
interest and currency rate fluctuations, announcements of technological innovations,
developments in patent or other proprietary rights, public concern or perception of issues
relating to the safety of products developed by a company, announcements of collaborative
partners, issues relating to government regulation, loss or gain of key employees in research
and/or operations, fluctuations in companies’ operating results, future sales of common
stock, analysts’ comments, including changes in recommendations, and general market
conditions. Slate Creek may invest clients in securities which may be more volatile and carry
more risk than some other forms of investment. Security prices in general may decline over
short or even extended periods of time and such declines may be significant.
Limited or No Liquidity. Slate Creek may invest client assets in privately-offered pooled
investment vehicles with limited liability such as private equity and venture capital funds.
Interests in these vehicles are not freely transferable and generally have limited, or no,
withdrawal rights. Slate Creek may also invest client assets in illiquid assets such as real
estate that could be difficult to sell or transfer in certain market environments. If these assets
need to be sold, their values could be adversely affected because of the limited market.
Non-Indexed ETF Risk. Slate Creek may invest in exchanged traded funds that are not
correlated to a market index. These ETFs are generally less liquid and may trade at a discount
because of they have a large buy-sell spread.
Additional Fees and Expenses. When investing in pooled investment vehicles such as mutual
funds, ETFs, private equity and venture capital funds, clients will bear additional expenses
including internal management fees and in certain cases, performance allocations or carried
interest charged by the vehicle’s investment adviser. The risk of owning pooled investment
vehicles generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments
in the pooled investment vehicle.

Slate Creek is required to disclose any relationship or arrangement that is material to its advisory
business or to its clients with certain related persons who have financial industry activities and/or
affiliations. Slate Creek does not have any required disclosures to this Item.
As discussed in Items 4 and 5 above, Slate Creek pays compensation to certain Sub-Advisers used in
managing client accounts and receives compensation from Third-Party Managers, which may include
Sub-Advisers, in connection with recommendations made to clients through the Non-Discretionary
Institutional program. As discussed in Item 8 above, Slate Creek may receive and use investment
research from Third-Party Managers, including Sub-Advisers. (

Other Compensation, below, for more information on compensation received from recommended
Third-Party Managers).

TradingSlate Creek has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) pursuant to Rule 204A-1 of the Advisers Act
and similar state rules and statutes. The Code applies to all Slate Creek directors, officers, employees
and any other person who provides services on behalf of Slate Creek and is subject to its supervision
and control. The Code requires that Slate Creek’s business be conducted in accordance with the
highest ethical and legal standards and focuses on the misuse of confidential information, personal
securities trading and outside business activities. Slate Creek will provide a copy of its code of ethics
to any client or prospective client upon request.
Slate Creek and its related persons may recommend SPVs managed by Slate Creek or its related
persons to clients. In addition, Slate Creek and its related persons may have investments in SPVs
recommended to clients. Slate Creek and its related persons has an incentive to make such
investments and recommendations in order to receive additional fees or to increase the value of their
investments rather than to advance the best interests of clients. In order to mitigate these conflicts,
Slate Creek has adopted the Code which generally requires Slate Creek and its related persons to act
in the best interests of clients and otherwise consistent with their fiduciary duties. Slate Creek and
its related persons will follow the code.
Slate Creek and its related persons may purchase the same securities for personal accounts that Slate
Creek recommends to clients. However, to avoid conflicts of interest, Slate Creek and its related
persons will only make such purchases as part of block trade with clients so that our related persons
and the client receive the same average price or after client orders for the same securities have been
completed. Slate Creek also monitors the trading activities of its related persons so they not only do
do not benefit from trading with or after its clients, but they do not disadvantage the client.

RECOMMENDATIONCRITERIA
Slate Creek does not maintain physical custody of client assets, although it may be deemed to have
custody of a client’s assets if he or she gives us authority to withdraw assets from the account (see
Items 5 and 15). Client assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” which is
generally a broker-dealer or bank. Slate Creek recommends that clients use Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. Slate
Creek is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold the
client’s assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when Slate Creek instructs them to.
While Slate Creek recommends that the client use Schwab as custodian/broker, the client will decide
whether to do so and open an account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly
with them. Slate Creek does not open the account for the client. If the client does not wish to place
his or her assets with Schwab, then Slate Creek cannot manage the account. Not all advisors require
their clients to use a particular broker-dealer or other custodian selected by the advisor. Even though
Slate Creek’s clients’ accounts are maintained at Schwab, it can still use other brokers to execute
trades for a client’s account, as described below.
HOW WESELECTBROKERS/CUSTODIANS TORECOMMEND
Slate Creek seeks to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold the client’s assets and execute
transactions on terms that are overall most advantageous when compared with other available
providers and their services. Slate Creek considers a wide range of factors, including these:
Combination of transaction execution services along with asset custody services
(generally without a separate fee for custody);
Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for a client’s
account);
Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers,
check requests, bill payment, etc.);
Breadth of investment products made available (stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
exchange-trades funds (ETFs), etc.);
Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment
decisions;
Quality of services;
Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest
rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate them;
Reputation, financial strength, and stability of the provider;
Prior service to us and our other clients; and
Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see
“Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab”).
For Slate Creek’s client accounts it maintains, Schwab generally does not charge the client separately
for custody services but is compensated by charging the client commissions or other fees on trades
that it executes or that settle into the Schwab account. For some accounts, Schwab may charge the
client a percentage of the dollar amount of assets in the account in lieu of commissions. In addition
to commissions or asset-based fees, Schwab charges the client a flat dollar amount as a “prime
broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but
where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into the
clients’ Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation the
client pays the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize the client’s trading
costs, Slate Creek has Schwab execute most trades for the account.
PRODUCTS ANDSERVICESAVAILABLE TOUS FROMSCHWAB
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly Schwab Institutional) is Schwab’s business serving
independent investment advisory firms like Slate Creek. They provide Slate Creek’s clients and Slate
Creek with access to its institutional brokerage services—trading, custody, reporting, and related
services—many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes
available various support services. Some of those services help Slate Creek manage or administer its
clients’ accounts, while others help Slate Creek manage and grow its business. Here is a more detailed
description of Schwab’s support services:
Services That Benefit the Client. Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a
broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets.
The investment products available through Schwab include some to which Slate Creek might not
otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our
clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit the client and the client’s
account.
Services That May Not Directly Benefit the Client. Schwab also makes available to Slate Creek
other products and services that benefit Slate Creek but may not directly benefit the client or the
client’s account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering Slate Creek’s
clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties.
Slate Creek may use this research to service all or some substantial number of its clients’ accounts,
including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes
available software and other technology that:
Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements);
Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
Provide pricing and other market data;
Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
Services That Generally Benefit Only Slate Creek. Schwab also offers other services intended to
help Slate Creek manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services include:
Educational conferences and events;
Technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers.
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party
vendors to provide the services to Slate Creek. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some
of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide Slate Creek with
other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of Slate Creek’s personnel.
RESEARCH ANDSOFTDOLLARS
“Soft dollars” are defined as a form of payment investment firms can use to pay for goods and services
such as news subscriptions or research. When an investment firm gives its business to a particular
brokerage firm, the brokerage firm in return can agree to use some of its revenue to pay for these
types of services. Slate Creek receives the above described soft dollar benefits.
BROKERAGE FORCLIENTREFERRALS
Slate Creek does not receive client referrals or any other incentive from any broker-dealer or
custodian.
TRADEAGGREGATION
Slate Creek may aggregate transactions in equity and fixed income securities for a client with other
clients to improve the quality of execution. When transactions are so aggregated, the actual prices
applicable to the aggregated transactions will be averaged, and each client account will be deemed to
have purchased or sold its proportionate share of the securities involved at the average price
obtained. Slate Creek may determine not to aggregate transactions, for example, based on the size of
the trades, the number of client’s accounts, the timing of the trades, the liquidity of the securities, or
the discretionary or non-discretionary nature of the trades. If Slate Creek does not aggregate orders,
some clients purchasing securities around the same time may receive a less favorable price than
other clients. This means that this practice of not aggregating may cost clients more money.

Dave Falicia and Scott Fox, the Managing Partners, meet with clients annually to review their
accounts. Additionally, Mr. Falicia and Mr. Fox r may review client accounts more frequently than
annually, particularly if there are major market or economic events, a life event for a client or upon
client request.

We receive an economic benefit in the form of soft dollar from Schwab in the form of the support
products and services is makes available to us and other independent investment advisers that have
their clients maintain accounts at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the
related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). The availability
of Schwab’s products and services to us is not based on our giving particular investment advice, such
as buying particular securities for our clients.
As discussed in Item 4 and 5 above, Slate Creek receives compensation from third-party advisers.
These arrangements create an incentive for Slate Creek to select and recommend third-party adviser
based on the compensation and/or overall relationship benefit to Slate Creek rather than client
needs. To mitigate this conflict, Slate Creek has adopted a number of policies and procedures that are
designed to ensure that all client accounts with third-party advisers are managed in a manner
consistent with Slate Creek’s fiduciary obligations, as well as each client’s investment objectives,
investment strategies and restrictions. Also, Slate Creek acts in the client’s best interest when
recommending a third-party adviser. The client is informed that he or she always has the right to
choose whether or not to purchase recommended third-party adviser services through Slate Creek.

For its Discretionary Private Portfolio Management services, Slate Creek does not anticipate having
physical custody of its clients’ assets. All client assets will be maintained with a qualified custodian
in compliance with Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act and related SEC guidance. However, as
described in Item 5, above, the client will be asked to authorize Slate Creek with the ability to instruct
the custodian to deduct Slate Creek’s management fee. Please see Item 5 for details about Slate
Creek’s fee deduction procedures.
Because Slate Creek will act as the general partner or manager of any SPV used to facilitate the Private
Investment Opportunities program, Slate Creek will have custody of client assets managed through
such program. Slate Creek will distribute audited financial reports or undergo an annual surprise
exam by an independent public accountant and will otherwise comply with Rule 206(4)-2 under the
Advisers Act and related SEC guidance.
Clients should carefully review Slate Creek’s reports and invoices along with their qualified
custodian’s account statements. The client should notify Slate Creek promptly of any discrepancies.

Slate Creek offers discretionary management services through the Discretionary Private Client
Portfolio Management program, under which it manages clients’ accounts on their behalf. This
discretionary authority is generally set forth in the discretionary investment management
agreements. Clients may limit this authority in their investment management agreements (
See
Discretionary Private Client Portfolio Management under Item 4: Advisory Business, above, for more
information on our discretionary management services).
As general partner or manager of the SPVs in the Private Investment Opportunities program, Slate
Creek will have discretion over the SPVs’ assets. Slate Creek will not be given discretionary authority,
however, to invest its other clients in the SPVs. Slate Creek also provides non-discretionary advisory
services to institutional investors as described above.

As a matter of general firm policy and practice, Slate Creek does not accept authority to vote proxies
on behalf of our clients. Our clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any
and all securities maintained in their portfolios. Slate Creek clients will usually receive proxies
and/or other solicitations directly from the custodian or transfer agent of the particular security. Our
clients may contact us for advice or information concerning a particular proxy vote, and we will not
charge any additional fees for advice, unless significant expenses are incurred. Slate Creek will use
commercially reasonable efforts to forward any proxy notices, solicitations or other information we
may receive related to a security held in a client’s account, but we will not take any further action
with respect to the voting of such proxy. It should also be noted that we do not advise or act on our
clients’ behalf in legal proceedings involving companies whose securities are held or were previously
held in client portfolios, including, but not limited to, the filing of “Proofs of Claim” in class action
lawsuits and settlements.

to meet contractual commitments to clients; and (iii) we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy
petition.
