Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Managers and Members

Hatteras VC Co-Investment Fund II, LLC

 

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and members’ capital of Hatteras VC Co-Investment Fund II, LLC (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in members’ capital for the years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of August 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and private fund advisers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hatteras VC Co-Investment Fund II, LLC as of August 31, 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and the changes in members’ capital for the years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund is managed by Hatteras Capital Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s placement agent, an affiliate of the Adviser, is Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC. The Fund had an initial closing on September 1, 2009 (“Initial Closing”) and a final closing August 31, 2010 (“Final Closing”), as determined by the Board of Managers (the “Board”) of the Fund. The Fund’s investment period (the “Investment Period”) is three years following the Initial Closing of the Fund. The Fund will continue until the date that is six years from the date of the Initial Closing, unless terminated earlier pursuant to applicable terms of the Fund’s limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”). The term may be extended for two one-year periods at the discretion of the Board.

 

The Board has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund on behalf of the members of the Fund (“Members”), subject to the laws of the State of Delaware and the Fund’s LLC Agreement, including authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Fund’s business. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek superior risk-adjusted returns by investing in venture-backed companies. The Fund intends to achieve its investment objective by investing all or substantially all of its assets in venture-backed companies alongside of top-tier venture capital firms.

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements.

 

a.Basis of Accounting

 

The Fund’s accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

c.Valuation of Portfolio Investments

 

All portfolio investments are recorded at fair value in accordance with the Fund’s valuation procedures. The Fund's valuation procedures have been adopted by the Fund's Board, which oversees the implementation of these procedures. The valuation procedures are implemented by the Adviser and the Fund's third-party administrator, which report to the Board. For third-party information, the Fund's administrator monitors and reviews the methodologies of the various pricing services employed by the Fund.

 

Investments in Private Companies – Investments for which observable market prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to the Fund’s valuation procedures. Fair value is based on the best information available and is determined by reference to information including, but not limited to, the following: projected sales, net earnings, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), balance sheets, public or private transactions, valuations for publicly traded comparable companies, recent rounds of financing in the company’s stock, and/or other measures, and consideration of any other pertinent information including the types of securities held and restrictions on disposition. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and/or lack of marketability). The methods used to estimate the fair value of private companies include: (1) the market approach (whereby fair value is derived by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies or assets – e.g., multiplying a key performance metric of the investee company or asset, such as projected revenue or EBITDA, by a relevant valuation multiple observed in the range of comparable companies or transactions – adjusted by the Adviser for differences between the investment and the referenced comparables and in some instances by reference to option pricing models or other similar methods), (2) the income approach (e.g., the discounted cash flow method), and (3) cost for a period of time after an acquisition (where such amount is determined by the Adviser to be the best indicator of fair value). These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. Due to the absence of readily determinable fair values and the inherent uncertainty of valuations, the estimated fair values for private companies may differ significantly from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

 

The Fund classifies its assets into three levels based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three-tier hierarchy distinguishes between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments.

c.   Valuation of Portfolio Investments (Continued)

  

The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Valuation of Investments

 

·Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

 

·Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

·Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The following table presents the Fund’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2012:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Private Company1                    
Bridge Financing Notes  $-   $-   $1,001,166   $1,001,166

Total  $3,193,117   $-   $6,344,990   $9,538,107 

 1 All private companies held in the Fund are Level 3 securities. For a detailed break-out of private companies by industry classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

 

The Fund adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amendments to authoritative guidance which require the Fund to disclose details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. There were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended August 31, 2012. Should a transfer between Levels occur, the Fund would recognize the transfer at the beginning of the reporting period following the actual date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-04 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

The following is a summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value measurements for investments held as of August 31, 2012:

 

Type of Investment  Fair 
Value as of 
August

Total Investments  $6,344,990            

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's bridge financing notes and the convertible promissory note are the likelihood that cash flows or shares will not be received in the future. Significant increases in the probability of default for these securities would result in a lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's preferred and common stock are generally the financial results of privately held entities. If the financial condition of these companies were to deteriorate, or if market comparables were to fall, the value of the preferred stock or common stock in these private companies held by the Fund would be lower.

 

d.Investment Income

 

Interest income is recorded when earned. Interest income is not recognized when collection is doubtful, but instead, such amounts are tracked in a memorandum account. At August 31, 2012, all interest was deemed collectable. Disbursements received from investments in private companies are ordinarily accounted for as a reduction of cost. Investments in short-term investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Investments in private companies are recorded on a subscription effective date basis, which is generally the first day of the calendar month in which the investment is effective. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identified cost basis.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

 

e.Fund Expenses

 

Fund expenses that are specifically attributed to the Fund are charged to the Fund and recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Fund include, but are not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions, legal fees, accounting, auditing, and tax preparation fees, custodial fees, fess for data and software providers, costs of insurance, registration expenses, management fee, and expenses of meetings of the Board.

 

f.Income Taxes

 

The Fund is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. For income tax purposes, the individual Members will be taxed upon their distributive share of each item of the Fund’s profit and loss.

 

The Fund has reviewed any potential tax positions as of August 31, 2012 and has determined that it does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year ended August 31, 2012, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal jurisdictions and various states, which remain open for examination by the tax authorities for a period of three years from when they are filed. The tax years subject to evaluation by tax authorities are 2009, 2010 and 2011.

 

g.Distributions

 

The Fund may make distributions to Members at least annually, or more frequently, at the Fund’s discretion, as permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations. Amounts distributed will be intended to represent the amounts of distributions received by the Fund from underlying investments during the period since the last distribution (or from commencement of operations in the case of the first distribution). Any distributions to Members will be made pro-rata.

 

h.Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in Members’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

i.Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-11 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

 

3.Management Fee AND Related Party Transactions

 

The Adviser is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Fund, subject to the ultimate supervision of and subject to any policies established by the Board, pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement with the Fund (the "Investment Management Agreement"). Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for developing, implementing and supervising the Fund's investment program.

 

In consideration for such services, the Fund pays the Adviser a quarterly investment “management fee” equal to 2.00% on an annualized basis of the net assets of the Fund as of each quarter-end. The Adviser has committed to waive permanently a portion of its contractual fee rate under the Investment Management Agreement as of the end of any quarter at which (or month-end during the period from the Initial Closing to the Final Closing) the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio companies plus cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, is less than the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of such quarter-end (or month-end during the period from the Initial Closing to the Final Closing). When this occurs, the Adviser will waive the portion of its management fee that is in excess of the annual rate equal to 2.00% of the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio companies plus cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments. The management fee for the year ended August 31, 2012 was $204,231. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the Adviser waived $17,061 of the management fee.

 

Each member of the Board who is not an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (each an “Independent Manager”), receives an annual retainer of $5,000 from the Fund for services on the Board and for services as a member of the audit committee of the Fund. All Board members are reimbursed by the Fund for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in performing their duties. For the year ended August 31, 2012, retainers to the Independent Managers totaled $27,917 and are included in the statement of operations under managers’ fees.

4.Accounting, Administration, and Custodial Agreement

 

In consideration for accounting, administrative, and recordkeeping services, the Fund pays J.D. Clark & Company, a division of UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator”) a monthly administration fee based on the month-end net asset value of the Fund. The Administrator also provides regulatory administrative services, transfer agency functions, and Member services at an additional cost. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the total accounting and administration fee was $40,000, and is included in the statement of operations under accounting and administration fees.

 

UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as custodian of the Fund’s assets and provides custodial services for the Fund.

 

5.Investment Transactions

 

Total purchases of investments in private companies for the year ended August 31, 2012 amounted to $2,141,764. Total sales of investments in private companies for the year ended August 31, 2012 amounted to $494,823. The cost of investments in private companies for U.S. federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Fund from the investments in private companies. The Fund relies upon actual and estimated tax information provided by the private companies in which it invests as to the amounts of taxable income allocated to the Fund as of August 31, 2012.

 

The Fund intends to invest substantially all of its available capital in private companies. These investments will generally be restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods or are not traded in public markets at all, so that the Fund may not be able to resell some of its securities holdings for extended periods.

 

6.INdemnificationS

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund, and therefore cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

7.commitments

 

As of August 31, 2012, the Fund had an outstanding investment commitment to private companies totaling approximately $100,000.

8.Risk Factors

 

An investment in the Fund involves significant risks, including liquidity risk, non-diversification risk and economic conditions risk, that should be carefully considered prior to investing and should only be considered by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford a loss of a substantial part or all of such investment.

 

Liquidity risk: Transfer of the units is subject to significant restrictions. Because of these restrictions and the absence of a public market for the units, a Member may be unable to liquidate his, her or its investment even though his, her or its personal financial circumstances would make liquidation advisable or desirable. The units will not be readily acceptable as collateral for loans and the units are not permitted to be pledged as collateral for loans. Moreover, even if a Member were able to dispose of his, her or its units, adverse tax consequences could result.

 

Non-diversification risk: If there is an industry in which the Fund concentrates its investments, the Fund may be subject to greater investment risk as companies engaged in similar businesses are more likely to be similarly affected by any adverse market conditions and other adverse industry-specific factors.

 

Economic risk: The Fund’s investments expose Members to a range of potential economic risks that could have an adverse effect on the Fund. These may include, but are not limited to, declines in economic growth, inflation, deflation, taxation, governmental restrictions, and/or adverse regulation.

 

9.Financial Highlights

 

The financial highlights are intended to help an investor understand the Fund’s financial performance for past periods. The total return in the table represents the rate that a typical Member would be expected to have earned or lost on an investment in the Fund.

 

The ratios and total return amount are calculated based on the Member group taken as a whole. An individual Member’s results may vary from those shown below due to the timing of capital transactions.

 

The ratios are calculated by dividing total dollars of net investment income or expenses, as applicable, by the average of total monthly Members’ capital. The total return amount is calculated by geometrically linking returns based on the change in the net asset value during each accounting period.

Proxy Voting

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and the Fund’s record of actual proxy votes cast is available at www.sec.gov and by calling 1-800-504-9070 and may be obtained at no additional charge.

 

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Schedules

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available, without charge and upon request, on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington.

 

Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement

At a meeting of the Fund’s Board held on May 24, 2012, by a unanimous vote, the Board, including a majority of the Managers who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) for an additional year.

 

In advance of the May 24, 2012 meeting, the Independent Managers requested and received extensive materials from the Adviser to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreement.  The Independent Managers reviewed reports from the Adviser relating to the below factors. The Board did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to approve the Agreement, nor were the items described herein all encompassing of the matters considered by the Board.

 

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services proposed to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, including the selection of Fund investments, access to select top-tier venture capital firms for co-investment opportunities, evaluation of risk exposure and risk controls, experience and training of the Adviser's investment professionals, and day-to-day portfolio management and general investment selection. The Board also reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser's portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board also took into account the Adviser's compliance policies and procedures, including the procedures used to determine the value of each of the Fund's investments. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services to be provided by the Adviser under the Investment Management Agreement, including, among other things, providing office facilities, equipment, and personnel.

 

The Board noted that the Fund’s performance during the period ended March 31, 2011 trailed that of both of the comparative funds selected by management, but for the period ended September 30, 2011 the Fund’s performance exceeded that of one of the comparative funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was not unreasonable especially given the difficulty of constructing a truly meaningful peer universe.

 

The Board concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and administrative services was satisfactory.

OTHER INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

 

FEES AND EXPENSES RELATIVE TO COMPARABLE FUNDS MANAGED BY THE ADVISER AND OTHER ADVISERS

The Board reviewed the advisory fee rates and expected total expense ratio of the Fund.  The Board also noted that the Adviser committed to waive permanently a portion of its contractual advisory fee rate under the Investment Management Agreement as of the end of any quarter at which the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio companies plus cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, is less than the Fund’s net asset value as of such quarter-end. When this occurs, the Adviser will waive the portion of its management fee that is in excess of the annual rate equal to 2.00% of the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio companies plus cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments. The Board noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fee for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011 and the semi-annual period ended February 29, 2012.

 

The Board noted that although the Fund is closed to new investors, a Placement Fee described in the current Fund Prospectus, was paid to an affiliate of the Adviser. The Board noted that the Placement Agent entered into an expense reduction agreement pursuant to which it rebated to the Fund 1.00% of all investments made after the initial closing, for which the Placement Agent received a Placement Fee.  In addition, the Board considered that the Placement Agent and/or its affiliates made payments to selected affiliated or unaffiliated third parties from time to time in connection with the placement of Fund shares and/or shareholder servicing. The Board noted that these payments were made out of the Placement Agents and/or affiliates’ own assets and did not represent an additional charge to the Fund.  

 

The Board compared the advisory fee, and total expense ratio for the Fund with various closed-end fund of funds, including funds advised by the Adviser. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross advisory fee was higher than the gross advisory fee of all five of the comparative funds. However, the Board discussed how the Fund’s total expense ratio is within the range of the comparative funds, with three comparative funds having a lower total expense ratio and two comparative funds having a higher total expense ratio.

 

The Board also reviewed an income statement showing the Adviser’s profitability with respect to the services it provides to all of the investment companies advised by the Adviser, including the Fund. The Board did not believe that the Adviser received excessive revenues or profits.

 

The Board concluded that the advisory fees paid by the Fund and total expense ratio were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services proposed to be provided.

 

BREAKPOINTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Board reviewed the structure of the investment management fees, noting that no change in fees had been proposed. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and believed that it was unlikely that economies of scale will be achieved. Further, the Board believed that breakpoints are not appropriate considering that the Fund is closed.

 

PROFITABILITY OF ADVISER AND AFFILIATES

As described above, the Board reviewed an income statement and other financial reports prepared by management for the year to date period ended March 31, 2012. The income statement showed that the Adviser earned a small profit margin with respect to its management of the Fund. Given the services provided to the Fund, the Board determined that the Adviser did not earn excessive profits.

 

FALL-OUT BENEFITS

The Board considered the Placement Fees earned by affiliates of the Adviser.

 

GENERAL CONCLUSION

Based on its consideration of all factors that it deemed material, and assisted by the advice of its counsel, the Board concluded it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its investors to approve the Investment Management Agreement for an additional one year term.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

The Proxy Voting Policies are attached herewith.

 

 
 

 

 

PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

The Fund has delegated proxy voting responsibilities with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities to the Adviser, subject to the Board’s general oversight and with the direction that proxies should be voted consistent with the Fund’s best economic interests. In general, the Adviser believes that voting proxies in accordance with the policies described below will be in the best interests of the Fund. If an analyst, trader or partner of the Adviser believes that voting in accordance with stated proxy-voting guidelines would not be in the best interests of a Fund, the proxy will be referred to the Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer for a determination of how such proxy should be voted.

 

The Adviser will generally vote to support management recommendations relating to routine matters such as the election of directors (where no corporate governance issues are implicated), the selection of independent auditors, an increase in or reclassification of common stock, the addition or amendment of indemnification provisions in the company’s charter or by-laws, changes in the board of directors and compensation of outside directors. The Adviser will generally vote in favor of management or shareholder proposals that the Adviser believes will maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management, increase shareholder value, maintain or increase shareholder influence over the company’s board of directors and management and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders.

 

On non-routine matters, the Adviser will generally vote in favor of management proposals for mergers or reorganizations, reincorporation plans, fair-price proposals and shareholder rights plans so long as such proposals are in the best economic interests of the Fund.

 

If a proxy includes a matter to which none of the specific policies described above or in the Adviser’s stated proxy-voting guidelines is applicable or a matter involving an actual or potential conflict of interest as described below, the proxy will be referred to the Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer for a determination of how such proxy should be voted.

 

In exercising its voting discretion, the Adviser and its employees will seek to avoid any direct or indirect conflict of interest presented by the voting decision. If any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the matter to be voted on presents an actual or potential conflict of interest involving the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser), any issuer of a security for which the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) acts as sponsor, Adviser, manager, custodian, distributor, underwriter, broker or other similar capacity or any person with whom the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) has an existing material contract or business relationship not entered into in the ordinary course of business (the Adviser and such other persons having an interest in the matter being called “Interested Persons”), the Adviser will make written disclosure of the conflict to the Independent Managers of the Fund indicating how the Adviser proposes to vote on the matter and its reasons for doing so. If the Adviser does not receive timely written instructions as to voting or non-voting on the matter from the Fund’s Independent Managers, the Adviser may take any of the following actions which it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund: (i) engage an independent third party to determine whether and how the proxy should be voted and vote or refrain from voting on the matter as determined by the third party; (ii) vote on the matter in the manner proposed to the Independent Managers if the vote is against the interests of all Interested Persons; or (iii) refrain from voting on the matter.

 

The Fund will be required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the twelve months ended June 30, no later than August 31 of each year. Once filed, the Fund’s Form N-PX filing will be available: (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at 800-504-9070 or (ii) by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The side-by-side management of these separate accounts and pooled investment vehicles may raise potential conflicts of interest relating to cross trading and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Adviser has a fiduciary responsibility to manage all client accounts in a fair and equitable manner. They seek to provide best execution of all securities transactions and to allocate investments to client accounts in a fair and timely manner. To this end, the Adviser developed policies and procedures designed to mitigate and manage the potential conflicts of interest that may arise from side-by-side management.
