In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations, changes in its partners’ capital and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Basis of Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters. We have served as the Partnership’s auditor since 2018. March 5, 2024

Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (In U.S. Dollars) 17 1. Organization Solasglas Investments, LP (the “Partnership”) is an exempted Cayman Islands limited partnership formed on August 17, 2018 and commenced operations on September 1, 2018. The Partnership is registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority under the Cayman Islands Mutual Funds Act. The Partnership will continue until terminated, wound up or dissolved in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”). DME Advisors, LP (the “Manager”) is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and serves as the investment manager of the Partnership. DME Advisors II, LLC (the “General Partner”), is the general partner. Morgan Stanley Fund Services (Cayman) Ltd. serves as the administrator of the Partnership pursuant to an administration agreement. Effective October 5, 2023, the Manager is registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Manager relies on the exemptive relief provided by CFTC Regulation 4.7 with respect to certain reporting requirements. Certain prior year disclosures and the manner of presentation have been modified to conform to guidance issued by the CFTC. The Partnership was organized to invest and trade in securities and other investment vehicles and instruments. The Manager is a value-oriented investment management firm that primarily invests and trades in long and short publicly listed equity securities, as well as distressed debt when cyclically attractive. The primary investment objective of the Partnership is to achieve capital appreciation by buying securities with trading values materially lower than their intrinsic values and by selling short securities with trading values materially higher than their intrinsic values. The Partnership aims to achieve high absolute rates of return while minimizing the risk of capital loss. There can be no assurance that such investment objective will be achieved, and investment results may vary substantially. The Partnership was created primarily for the benefit of Greenlight Reinsurance, Ltd. (“GLRE”) and Greenlight Reinsurance Ireland, Designated Activity Company (collectively with GLRE, the “Limited Partners”) and the General Partner (and collectively with the Limited Partners, the “Partners”).


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 18 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Partnership is an investment company which applies the specialized accounting and reporting requirements for investment companies. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant articles of Regulation S-X, CFTC guidance and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. Certain prior period amounts may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation, with no effect on the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, partners’ capital, results of operations or cash flows. The Partnership, along with other funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates, may utilize special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) for tax, regulatory or other purposes. The underlying investments held by SPVs are included within the condensed schedules of investments and reflect the Partnership’s proportionate share of each such underlying investment. All investments held by the SPVs are for the benefit of the Partnership, along with other funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates and they conduct no other business. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership considers all highly-liquid investments, with original maturities of less than 90 days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business, as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Partnership held no cash or cash equivalents. Investment Transactions The Partnership records investment transactions on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of withholding taxes, and dividend expense are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on dividends have been accounted for in accordance with the Partnership’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign Currency Transactions Investments and derivative contracts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 19 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Foreign Currency Transactions (continued) The Partnership does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and derivative contracts from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments and derivative contracts owned or sold short. Such fluctuations are included with applicable net realized gain or loss on investments or derivative contracts and net change in unrealized appreciation on investments or derivative contracts in the statements of operations and performance allocation. Fair Value Measurements and Investment Valuation The fair values of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP approximate the carrying amounts presented in the financial statements. The Partnership records all investments and derivative contracts (collectively “investments”) at fair value. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing investments based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Partnership’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing investments based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. An active market for the investment is a market in which transactions for the investment occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: (i) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical investments traded in non-active markets (i.e., dealer or broker markets); and (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or inputs derived from or corroborated by market data. Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity, and significant to the overall fair value measurement (including the Partnership’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new and not yet established in the market place, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 20 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value Measurements and Investment Valuation (continued) The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Partnership’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. A description of the valuation techniques applied and inputs utilized in measuring fair value of the Partnership’s major categories of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: Common Stock and Exchange-Traded Funds Common stock and exchange-traded funds are generally valued based on quoted prices from the relevant exchange. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. In instances when investments in common stock or exchange- traded funds are not actively traded or valuation adjustments are applied, they are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and in instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Corporate Bonds The fair value of corporate bonds are estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations (where observable). When recent transactions or observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on cash flow models. These investments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Commodities Actively traded commodities are valued based on quoted dealer prices and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Commodities that are not actively traded are generally included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 21 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value Measurements and Investment Valuation (continued) Investment Funds Investments in investment funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the underlying fund’s administrator or manager. Management of the underlying funds generally charge management and/or incentive fees to the Partnership and other investors in the underlying funds. Such fees are included in the net asset value reported by the Partnership for the investment funds. The management and incentive fees range from 0-1.5% and 0-20%, respectively, subject to conditions and terms of each investment fund’s legal agreements. Due to restrictions on the transferability and timing of withdrawals from the investment funds, the amounts realized upon liquidation will likely differ from such reported values. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, none of the Partnership’s investments in investment funds allow for a voluntary right of withdrawal. Investments valued based on their unadjusted net asset value are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The Manager may determine that the net asset value provided by the underlying fund does not represent fair value. In such situations, the fair value of the underlying fund will be valued in accordance with the Partnership’s valuation policy. This may include calculating an independent value of the underlying fund’s assets and liabilities, reviewing secondary market transactions, or other techniques depending upon the circumstances. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, no investment funds were valued by management of the Partnership as all were based on values reported by the underlying fund. Private Equity The transaction price is used as the best estimate of fair value upon acquisition. Thereafter, valuation is based on an assessment of each investment, incorporating factors that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, financial information provided by management of the investee company, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples and changes in market outlook, among other factors. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 22 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value Measurements and Investment Valuation (continued) Derivative Contracts The fair value of derivatives actively traded on a national exchange and based on quoted prices from the relevant exchange are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives valued based on market price quotations and listed derivatives that are not actively traded are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for other OTC derivative investments are based on pricing models intended to approximate the amounts that would be paid to or received from a third party in settlement of the respective contract. Factors taken into consideration include credit spreads, market liquidity and concentrations, foreign currency rates, and funding and administrative costs incurred over the lives of the investments. As these inputs are typically observable, these OTC derivatives are also categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on the Partnership’s derivative contracts. Investments Sold Short The Partnership has sold investments that it does not own and will, therefore, be obligated to purchase such investments at a future date. A gain, limited to the price at which the Partnership sold the investment, or a loss, unlimited in amount, will be realized upon the liquidation of the investment. The Partnership has recorded this obligation in the financial statements at fair value. There is an element of market risk in that, if the investments increase in value, it will be necessary to purchase the investments at a cost in excess of the obligation reflected in the statements of financial condition. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material. Income Taxes The Partnership is not subject to taxes on income, capital gains or withholding tax in the Cayman Islands. Each partner in the Partnership may be subject to taxation on its share of the Partnership’s ordinary income and capital gains. In certain jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, taxes are withheld at the source on dividends and interest received by the Partnership. Capital gains derived by the Partnership in such jurisdictions generally will be exempt from foreign income or withholding taxes at the source.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 23 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Income Taxes (continued) U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Partnership presumes that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely than not threshold would be recorded as an income tax expense in the current period. Upon the completion of any potential examination by U.S. federal, state or foreign tax jurisdiction in which the Partnership trades, tax adjustments may be necessary and retroactive to all open tax years. If an adjustment is necessary, the Partnership would recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax as income tax expense in the statements of operations and performance allocation. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no impact to the financial statements relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. 3. Investments and Fair Value The Partnership’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy as reflected in the condensed schedule of investments. Changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows: Purchases Sales Transfers Assets Investments: Private equity $ 9,586 $ - $ - Changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2022 are as follows: Purchases Sales Transfers Assets Investments: Private equity $ 23,605 $ (1,515,266) $ -


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 24 3. Investments and Fair Value (continued) The Manager has established valuation processes and procedures to ensure each investment’s fair value is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the event the Partnership has an investment that cannot be readily valued per its valuation procedures as discussed in Note 2, a Valuation Committee has been designated to oversee the valuation process of such investments. The Valuation Committee is comprised of employees of the Manager and meets at least monthly to ensure that each investment is valued in accordance with the Partnership’s valuation policy. The Partnership’s Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, have been valued based upon the transaction price of the most recent offering from the underlying company. No unobservable inputs internally developed by the Manager have been applied to these investments. 4. Forward Transactions On September 11, 2023, the Manager, on behalf of the Partnership, entered into a forward sales transaction to sell 937,500 shares of Green Brick Partners, Inc. (“GRBK”) (the “Forward Transaction”) to facilitate a reduction in the concentration of GRBK within the Partnership’s portfolio. Under the terms of this transaction, sales were to be completed prior to the second quarter of 2024. This transaction was completed on January 3, 2024, generating proceeds of $43,353,003. The Forward Transaction, pursuant to a variable price forward sale transaction confirmation, provides for the Partnership to deliver the applicable number of GRBK shares to the counterparty at a price based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock as reported in Bloomberg VWAP over a valuation period, which period will be determined by the counterparty, subject to an agreed maturity window. As these inputs are typically observable, the Forward Transaction has been categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To secure its obligations under the Forward Transaction, the Partnership entered into a pledge agreement, pursuant to which it has pledged to the counterparty GRBK shares equal to the number of shares to be sold under the applicable Forward Transaction. Under the terms of the Forward Transaction, the Partnership received an initial cash payment of $15,345,000, which is included in due to brokers in the statement of financial condition. The Manager has entered into a second forward sales transaction to sell an additional 500,000 shares of GRBK. Under the terms of this transaction, settlement is scheduled to occur in or prior to the fourth quarter of 2024.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 25 5. Derivative Contracts In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into derivative contracts for investment purposes. The Partnership uses these instruments as part of its trading strategy. The Partnership’s policy is to recognize each derivative contract as either an asset or liability and to measure each contract at fair value. The resulting change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the statements of operations and performance allocation. The Partnership utilizes swap contracts as economic substitutes for investments in equity, indexes, interest rates, credit and other instruments. Swap contracts are arrangements whose valuation and resultant appreciation or depreciation is based upon the fair value fluctuations of an underlying instrument. The Partnership enters into credit default swap contracts which are agreements in which the Partnership or a counterparty pays fixed periodic payments or an agreed-upon fixed fee to a counterparty or the Partnership in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty or the Partnership to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place in the underlying credit instrument. At December 31, 2023, the Partnership had outstanding contingent guarantees scheduled to terminate in December 2026 with a notional value of $1,821,000 and a fair value of $247,168. At December 31, 2022, the Partnership had outstanding contingent guarantees scheduled to terminate in December 2026 with a notional value of $1,821,000 and a fair value of $391,081. Forward contracts obligate the Partnership to either buy or sell an asset at a specified future date and price. Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified instrument on a specified future date. Initial margin deposits are required to trade in the futures market. Futures contracts are marked to market daily. When forward and futures contracts are terminated, the Partnership recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered into and the time it was closed. The Partnership may buy and write put and call options or warrants. The buyer of an option has the right to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) a specified quantity of a specific financial instrument at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 26 5. Derivative Contracts (continued) The writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying financial instrument declines (in the case of a put option) or increases (in the case of a call option). The premium received by the Partnership upon writing an option contract is recorded as a liability and marked to market on a daily basis. The writer of an option can never profit by more than the premium paid by the buyer. In the case of a written call option, losses could be unlimited and in the case of written put options, losses are limited to the number of contracts written multiplied by the applicable strike price. As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership had written call options with a fair value of $427,968 and had written put options with a fair value of $66,559. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership had written call options with a fair value of $1,235,122 and had written put options with a fair value of $6,977,875. Potential losses on the Partnership’s written options are not representative of its net economic exposure as the Partnership has long and short exposure across a variety of different financial instruments, whereby losses on one instrument are offset by gains in other instruments. The following tables set forth the gross fair value of derivative asset and liability contracts by primary risk type as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The fair values of these derivatives are presented on a gross basis, even when derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements. The tables also include information on the volume of derivative activity that is approximated, on an absolute basis, by the average quarterly outstanding notional amounts for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

If the Partnership were to default under a provision of this agreement, the counterparty could terminate the applicable derivative contract and request immediate payment of any amounts due to it or pay the Partnership any amounts due to the Partnership pursuant to such agreement. The Partnership’s statements of financial condition includes derivative contracts that are eligible for offset and that are subject to a fully-executed master netting arrangement. The Partnership presents these contracts on a gross basis (without taking into account any offset). A master netting arrangement could allow the counterparty to net payment obligations and liabilities (including collateral held by the counterparty) that the counterparty owes to the Partnership against payment obligations and liabilities (including collateral held by the Partnership) that the Partnership owes to the counterparty.

The cash at the brokers, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 34 7. Partnership Terms and Related Party Transactions Management Fees The Partnership pays the Manager, an affiliate of the General Partner, a monthly management fee in advance equal to 0.125% (1.5% per annum) of each limited partner’s Investment Portfolio, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Portfolio is equal to the product of a limited partner’s capital account at the beginning of each month multiplied by a ratio agreed upon by the Partners in accordance with the Agreement. Allocation of Income (Loss) and Performance Allocation The Agreement specifies that the net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations for each fiscal period shall be allocated to the partners in proportion to the ratio of each partner’s capital account to the sum of all capital accounts with the exception of net income or loss on security transactions deemed new issues (“New Issues”) as defined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). The net increase on New Issues is allocated to the Partners based on each partner’s eligibility to participate in New Issues. The Agreement also specifies that any investment may, from time to time, be deemed a Designated Security by the Manager. The net increase or decrease on Designated Securities will be allocated as deemed appropriate by the Manager. At the end of each calendar year, 20% of the net increase in partners’ capital resulting from operations (subject to a reduction to 10% for an amount equal to any carryforward loss as specified in the Agreement) is reallocated to the capital account of the General Partner from the capital account of each limited partner as a performance allocation. Withdrawal Policy The Limited Partners may withdraw all or part of their capital account with a three day notice period, subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the Agreement. The General Partner shall give ten days’ written notice to the Limited Partners prior to making a withdrawal that would cause its capital account to be less than ten percent of the aggregate capital accounts of all partners. Contribution Policy The Limited Partners may contribute capital to the Partnership in accordance with the Agreement. From time to time, the General Partner may contribute additional capital to ensure that its capital account balance is at least ten percent of the aggregate capital account balances of all partners.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 35 7. Partnership Terms and Related Party Transactions (continued) Other Related Party Transactions The President of the Manager serves as the chairman of the board of directors of GRBK. He also serves as chairman of the board of directors of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd., the parent company of the Limited Partners. The Partnership is responsible for the payment of its own operating and other expenses. For operational efficiency, an affiliate of the Manager may act as a common pay agent and pay for some of these expenses on behalf of the Partnership and will subsequently be reimbursed. There was no such liability on December 31, 2023 or 2022. 8. Risks In the normal course of business, the performance of any investment is subject to numerous factors which are not predictable by or within the control of the Partnership. Such factors include a wide range of economic, political, competitive and other conditions that may affect investments in general or specific industries or companies. These investments may include investments sold short, commodities, options, swaps and other derivative contracts. The Partnership’s investment objective necessarily subjects the Partnership to various significant risks, both on and off balance sheet, including those that follow. The following summary is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of all risks relating to the operations and investment activities that the Partnership is exposed to. Market Risk Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of an investment. The Partnership’s exposure to market risk may be due to many factors, including the movement in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, indices, market volatility, and commodity and security values underlying its investments. Lack of Valuation Data; Limited Liquidity of Investments The Partnership may invest in securities and other assets which are subject to legal or other restrictions on transfer or for which no liquid market exists. The market prices for such investments tend to be volatile and may not be readily ascertainable, and the Partnership may not be able to sell such investments when the Partnership desires to do so or to realize what the Partnership perceives to be the fair value of such investments in the event of a sale. The Partnership may not be able to readily dispose of such illiquid investments and, in some cases, may be contractually prohibited from disposing of such investments for a specified period of time. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 36 8. Risks (continued) Potential Concentration of Investments The Partnership seeks to maintain a diversified portfolio. Although the Manager expects to spread the Partnership’s capital among a number of investments, it may depart from such policy from time to time and may hold a few, relatively large positions in relation to the Partnership’s capital (subject to the investment guidelines per the Agreement). Since the Partnership’s portfolio is not necessarily widely diversified, the net assets of the Partnership may be subject to more rapid changes in value than would be the case if the Partnership maintained a more diversified investment portfolio. Investments in Foreign Securities Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as risks relating to (a) currency exchange matters between the U.S. dollar and the various foreign currencies in which the Partnership’s portfolio securities will be denominated and costs associated with conversion of investment principal and income from one currency into another, (b) differences between the U.S. and foreign securities markets, (c) political, social or economic instability, and (d) certain tax-related risks including, without limitation, uncertainties in the application of tax laws by non-U.S. jurisdictions, the imposition of withholding and other taxes on dividends, interest, capital gains or other income. Investments Sold Short Short sales require the Partnership to borrow a security that it does not own. If the price of a security sold short increases, the Partnership may have to provide additional collateral to maintain the short position. This could require the Partnership to increase the amount of the Partnership’s leverage or sell other portfolio investments to provide such additional collateral. Also, the lender of the securities sold short can request their return. Under adverse market conditions, the Partnership might not be able to purchase securities to meet the delivery requirement or may not be able to borrow securities from other lenders. In such an event, the Partnership may be subject to a mandatory close-out of the short position, which could result in unintended costs and losses. It may not be possible to borrow securities when the Manager wishes to make a short sale, particularly in illiquid markets. Traditional lenders of securities might be less likely to lend securities under certain market conditions. As a result, the Partnership may not be able to effectively pursue a short selling strategy due to a limited supply of securities available for borrowing. In addition, regulatory authorities may impose restrictions and prohibitions on short selling activities that could adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to engage in short sales or borrow certain securities in connection with short sales.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 37 8. Risks (continued) Leverage As part of the Partnership’s investment strategy (subject to the investment guidelines per the Agreement) and subject to applicable margin and other limitations, the Partnership may borrow funds from its counterparties in order to make additional investments and thereby increase both the possibility of gain and risk of loss. Consequently, the effect of fluctuations in the market value of the Partnership’s portfolio would be amplified. In addition, the Partnership could potentially create leverage via the use of instruments such as options, swaps and other derivative contracts. Credit Risk Although the Partnership intends to enter into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Partnership will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result. If an obligor (such as the issuer or a party offering credit enhancement) for an investment held by the Partnership, a counterparty to a derivative contract with the Partnership, or a prime broker or other service provider to the Partnership, fails to pay, otherwise defaults or is perceived to be less creditworthy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of such investment could decline. In addition, the Partnership may incur expenses to protect the Partnership’s interests in securities experiencing these events. Counterparty Risk The Partnership has relationships that provide prime brokerage, derivative intermediation and financing services that permit the Partnership to trade in a variety of markets and asset classes as well as custody its cash, investments and derivatives. However, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to maintain such relationships. An inability to maintain such relationships could limit the Partnership’s trading activities, create losses, preclude the Partnership from engaging in certain transactions or prevent the Partnership from trading at optimal rates and terms. The assets of the Partnership will generally be held in accounts maintained for it by its prime brokers or in accounts with other market participants, including non-U.S. sub-custodians. The accounts generally will not be segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts titled in the Partnership’s name and, therefore, a failure of any broker or market participant is likely to have a greater adverse impact than if the assets, or the accounts in which they are held, were registered in the name of the Partnership. In addition, because the Partnership’s investments generally will be held in margin accounts, and the prime brokers will have the ability to lend those securities to other market participants, the Partnership’s ability to recover all of its assets in the context of a bankruptcy or other failure of a prime broker may be further limited.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 38 8. Risks (continued) Counterparty Risk (continued) Many of the markets in which the Partnership will effect transactions are not exchange-based. The stability and liquidity of OTC transactions will depend in large part on the creditworthiness of the parties to the transactions. OTC transactions could expose the Partnership to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms or because of a credit or liquidity problem, causing the Partnership to suffer a loss. Such counterparty risk is accentuated where the Partnership has concentrated its transactions with a single or small group of counterparties. If a counterparty defaults, under normal circumstances the Partnership will have contractual remedies against the counterparty. However, exercising such contractual rights may involve delays or costs. Furthermore, there is a risk that a counterparty could become insolvent. In such an event, the Partnership’s ability to recover securities from such counterparty or receive payment of claims therefore may be significantly delayed and the Partnership may recover less than the full value of its securities. This is particularly true with respect to counterparties located in jurisdictions outside the United States where the application of non-U.S. insolvency laws may be subject to substantial limitations and uncertainties. Currency Risk It is expected that the Partnership’s portfolio will contain investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in the value of other currencies against the value of the U.S. dollar could have an adverse impact on the performance of the Partnership. The Partnership may enter into currency hedging transactions, but is not required or expected to do so, and such transactions have an associated cost that could reduce investment returns. Spot and forward currency prices are highly volatile and price movements for spot and forward currency contracts may be influenced by, among other things, the foregoing risks. Commitments In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Partnership that have not yet occurred. However, the Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Partnership is committed to invest up to $5,738,998, and $6,185,568, respectively, of additional capital in various investments.


 
Solasglas Investments, LP Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 39 8. Risks (continued) Contingencies The Partnership’s investment activities expose the Partnership to legal and tax matters that may result in contingencies including threatened or asserted litigations or claims. Any such matters that give rise to probable litigation and can be reasonably estimated are accrued.
