(“TTELP”) and other investment vehicles formed to co-invest with one or more of the foregoing investment funds.
The general partner or managing member, as applicable, of Fund II, Fund II Parallel and Fund II Executive is Tinicum Lantern II L.L.C. The general partner of Fund II Add-On and Fund II Add-On Parallel is Tinicum Lantern II Add-On L.L.C. The Managing Members of Tinicum Lantern II L.L.C., and Tinicum Lantern II Add-On, L.L.C. are Eric Ruttenberg and Terence O’Toole.
The general partner of TLP, TPLP, TELP and TTELP (collectively, “TLP Vehicles”) is Tinicum Lantern III L.L.C. (“TL III”).Beginning in the second commitment period (“CP2”) of the TLP Vehicles, Mr. Ruttenberg became the sole Managing Member of TL III and Mr. O’Toole became the commitment period one (“CP1”) Co-Managing Member of TL III. As CP1 Co-Managing Member, Mr. O’Toole continues in his role as a co-Managing Member of TL III, but only with respect to investments made during TLP Vehicles’ initial commitment period. Mr. O’Toole will remain a significant investor in the TLP Vehicles and will serve on the investment committee of TL III.
The general partners and managing members of the Funds are collectively referred to as the “General Partners.” The General Partners have delegated to Tinicum sole investment discretion with respect to the Funds’ investments. The Firm serves as the management company to each of the Funds, pursuant to an investment management agreement entered into with each Fund and its General Partner, and in that capacity and subject to the terms set forth in such agreement and the Funds’ governing documents provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds.
The Funds generally make investments in privately issued equity and equity-related investments and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities.
Fund II, Fund II Parallel, Fund II Executive, Fund II Add-On and Fund II Add-On Parallel (“Fund II Vehicles”) are permitted to make only follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. The TLP Vehicles are currently permitted to make investments in new portfolio companies and follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. The Funds that make up any of the group of Fund II Vehicles or the group of TLP Vehicles are referred to as “Parallel Funds” with respect to the other Funds within the same group; however, for the purposes of this brochure, the Fund II Vehicles and the TLP Vehicles are not considered Parallel Funds with each other.
Tinicum may, from time to time, also form investment vehicles through which certain persons may invest alongside one or more Funds (each such pooled investment vehicle, a “Co-Investment Vehicle”). Generally, if a Co-Investment Vehicle is established to participate in a particular transaction, that Co-Investment Vehicle will be contractually required, as a condition of its investment, to invest on the same terms as the applicable Fund that is also invested in that transaction.
Tinicum has established an advisory board for each of the Funds (each, an “Advisory Board”), Fund II Executive, and TELP (collectively, the “Executive Funds”), which in each case is comprised of individuals who are not affiliates of Tinicum. The Advisory Board for each group of Parallel Funds will generally be comprised of the same people. The Advisory Boards play an important role in resolving conflicts of interest that Tinicum may face. In accordance with the governing documents of the Funds, the Advisory Boards provide such advice and counsel as is requested by Tinicum in connection with the Funds’ investments, potential conflicts of interest and other Fund matters, or as required by the governing documents of the Funds.

C.Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients.
Tinicum tailors its advisory services to the Funds by reference to the limited partnership agreements and other governing documents of the Funds. Those documents specify the investments permitted to be made by each of the Funds and limit the types of securities that each of the Funds may acquire. The private offering memorandum of each of the Funds, respectively, also describes the types of investments that each of the Funds may pursue, and the Firm advises on investments with respect to those specific investment types.
Tinicum may from time to time enter into side letter agreements with certain investors in the Funds, establishing rights under, or supplementing or altering the terms of, the applicable agreements relating to such Funds with respect to such investors.

D.Wrap Fee Programs.
The Firm does not participate in wrap fee programs.

E.Assets Under Management.
Tinicum’s regulatory assets under management are $2,666,731,406 which represents the estimated value of the investments and the unfunded capital committed to the Funds as of December 31, 2019.
As described above, the Firm provides investment advisory services to the Funds based on the investment mandate, objectives and strategies set forth in each Fund’s offering memorandum, but the General Partners have sole investment discretion with respect to the investments made with the Funds’ assets.
