ORDER REQUESTED
|
11 |
For the avoidance of doubt, BAL will not be treated as an Adviser under the requested Order, but will be subject to Conditions 2(c)(iv), 13 and 14.
|
A. |
Overview
|
1. |
The Investment Process
|
a. |
Identification and Consideration of Investment Opportunities
|
12 |
Investment Teams and Investment Committees responsible for an area of investment may include portfolio managers, analysts and senior management from among one or more of the Advisers.
|
13 |
Representatives from each Adviser to a Regulated Fund are members of each Investment Team or Investment Committee, or are otherwise entitled to participate in each meeting of any Investment Team or Investment Committee, that is expected to
approve or reject recommended investment opportunities falling within its Regulated Funds’ Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria. Accordingly, the policies and procedures may provide, for example, that the Adviser will
receive the information required under Condition 1 in conjunction with its representatives’ participation in the relevant Investment Team or Investment Committee. The Investment Teams and Investment Committees will keep minutes of their
meetings, and such minutes will include reference to the specific investment opportunities considered at the meeting.
|
b. |
Order Placement and Allocation
|
14 |
The reason for any such adjustment to a proposed order amount will be documented in writing and preserved in the records of the Advisers.
|
c. |
Approval of Potential Co-Investment Transactions
|
15 |
The Advisers will maintain records of all proposed order amounts, Internal Orders and External Submissions in conjunction with Potential Co-Investment Transactions. Each applicable Adviser will provide the Eligible Directors with
information concerning the Affiliated Funds’ and Regulated Funds’ order sizes to assist the Eligible Directors with their review of the applicable Regulated Fund’s investments for compliance with the Conditions.
|
2. |
Delayed Settlement
|
3. |
Permitted Follow-On Investments and Approval of Follow-On Investments
|
a. |
Standard Review Follow-Ons
|
b. |
Enhanced Review Follow-Ons
|
4. |
Dispositions
|
16 |
See note 31, below.
|
a. |
Standard Review Dispositions
|
b. |
Enhanced Review Dispositions
|
17 |
See note 29, below.
|
18 |
In the case of a Tradable Security, Dispositions to the issuer or an affiliated person of the issuer are not permitted so that funds participating in the Disposition do not benefit to the detriment of Regulated Funds that remain invested
in the issuer. For example, if a Disposition of a Tradable Security were permitted to be made to the issuer, the issuer may be reducing its short term assets (i.e., cash) to pay down long-term liabilities.
|
19 |
However, with respect to an issuer, if a Regulated Fund’s first Co-Investment Transaction is an Enhanced Review Disposition, and the Regulated Fund does not dispose of its entire position in the Enhanced Review Disposition, then before
such Regulated Fund may complete its first Standard Review Follow-On in such issuer, the Eligible Directors must review the proposed Follow-On Investment not only on a stand-alone basis but also in relation to the total economic exposure in
such issuer (i.e., in combination with the portion of the Pre-Boarding Investment not disposed of in the Enhanced Review Disposition), and the other terms of the investments. This additional review is required because such findings were not
required in connection with the prior Enhanced Review Disposition, but they would have been required had the first Co-Investment Transaction been an Enhanced Review Follow-On.
|
5. |
Use of Wholly-Owned Investment Subs
|
B. |
Applicable Law
|
1. |
Section 17(d) and Section 57(a)(4)
|
• |
Any director, officer, employee, or member of an advisory board of a BDC or any person (other than the BDC itself) who is an affiliated person of the forgoing pursuant to Section 2(a)(3)(C); or
|
• |
Any investment adviser or promoter of, general partner in, principal underwriter for, or person directly or indirectly either controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, a BDC (except the BDC itself and any person who, if it
were not directly or indirectly controlled by the BDC, would not be directly or indirectly under the control of a person who controls the BDC);20 or any person
who is an affiliated person of any of the forgoing within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) or (D).
|
20 |
Also excluded from this category by Rule 57b-1 is any person who would otherwise be included (a) solely because that person is directly or indirectly controlled by a business development company, or (b) solely because that person is,
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) or (D), an affiliated person of a person described in (a) above.
|
2. |
Rule 17d-1
|
21 |
See, e.g., SEC Rel. No.
IC-4697 (Sept. 8, 1966) (“For purposes of Section 2(a)(3)(C), affiliation based upon control would depend on the facts of the given situation, including such factors as extensive interlocks of officers, directors or key personnel, common
investment advisers or underwriters, etc.”); Lazard Freres Asset Management, SEC No-Action Letter (pub. avail. Jan. 10, 1997) (“While, in some circumstances, the nature of an advisory relationship may give an adviser control over its
client’s management or policies, whether an investment company and another entity are under common control is a factual question…“). Depending on the nature of an Adviser’s sub-advisory role with an Affiliated Fund, it could be deemed to
control such Affiliated Fund, which would necessitate the requested relief.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
|
A. |
Potential Benefits
|
B. |
Protective Representations and Conditions
|
V. |
CONDITIONS
|
1. |
Identification and Referral of Potential Co-Investment Transactions.
|
(a) |
The Advisers will establish, maintain and implement policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that each Adviser is promptly notified of all Potential Co-Investment Transactions that fall within the then-current Objectives and
Strategies and Board-Established Criteria of any Regulated Fund the Adviser manages.
|
(b) |
When an Adviser to a Regulated Fund is notified of a Potential Co-Investment Transaction under Condition 1(a), the Adviser will make an independent determination of the appropriateness of the investment for the Regulated Fund in light of
the Regulated Fund’s then-current circumstances.26
|
26 |
BAL and any investment adviser to a Sub-Advised Fund will not be the source of any Potential Co-Investment Transactions under the requested Order.
|
2. |
Board Approvals of Co-Investment Transactions.
|
(a) |
If the Adviser deems a Regulated Fund’s participation in any Potential Co-Investment Transaction to be appropriate for the Regulated Fund, it will then determine an appropriate level of investment for the Regulated Fund.
|
(b) |
If the aggregate amount recommended by the Advisers to be invested in the Potential Co-Investment Transaction by the participating Regulated Funds and any participating Affiliated Funds, collectively, exceeds the amount of the investment
opportunity, the investment opportunity will be allocated among them pro rata based on the size of the Internal Orders, as described in section III.A.1.b. above. Each Adviser to a participating Regulated Fund will promptly notify and provide
the Eligible Directors with information concerning the Affiliated Funds’ and Regulated Funds’ order sizes to assist the Eligible Directors with their review of the applicable Regulated Fund’s investments for compliance with these Conditions.
|
(c) |
After making the determinations required in Condition 1(b) above, each Adviser to a participating Regulated Fund will distribute written information concerning the Potential Co-Investment Transaction (including the amount proposed to be
invested by each participating Regulated Fund and each participating Affiliated Fund) to the Eligible Directors of its participating Regulated Fund(s) for their consideration. A Regulated Fund will enter into a Co-Investment Transaction with
one or more other Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds only if, prior to the Regulated Fund’s participation in the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, a Required Majority concludes that:
|
(i) |
the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Regulated Fund and its equity holders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Regulated Fund or its equity holders on the part
of any person concerned;
|
(ii) |
the transaction is consistent with:
|
(A) |
the interests of the Regulated Fund’s equity holders; and
|
(B) |
the Regulated Fund’s then-current Objectives and Strategies;
|
(iii) |
the investment by any other Regulated Fund(s) or Affiliated Fund(s) would not disadvantage the Regulated Fund, and participation by the Regulated Fund would not be on a basis different from, or less advantageous than, that of any other
Regulated Fund(s) or Affiliated Fund(s) participating in the transaction; provided that the Required Majority shall not be prohibited from reaching the conclusions required by this Condition 2(c)(iii) if:
|
(A) |
the settlement date for another Regulated Fund or an Affiliated Fund in a Co-Investment Transaction is later than the settlement date for the Regulated Fund by no more than ten business days or earlier than the settlement date for the
Regulated Fund by no more than ten business days, in either case, so long as: (x) the date on which the commitment of the Affiliated Funds and Regulated Funds is made is the same; and (y) the earliest settlement date and the latest settlement
date of any Affiliated Fund or Regulated Fund participating in the transaction will occur within ten business days of each other; or
|
(B) |
any other Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund, but not the Regulated Fund itself, gains the right to nominate a director for election to a portfolio company’s board of directors, the right to have a board observer or any similar right to
participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company so long as: (x) the Eligible Directors will have the right to ratify the selection of such director or board observer, if any; (y) the Adviser agrees to, and does, provide
periodic reports to the Regulated Fund’s Board with respect to the actions of such director or the information received by such board observer or obtained through the exercise of any similar right to participate in the governance or
management of the portfolio company; and (z) any fees or other compensation that any other Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund or any affiliated person of any other Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund receives in connection with the right of one
or more Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds to nominate a director or appoint a board observer or otherwise to participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company will be shared proportionately among any participating
Affiliated Funds (who may, in turn, share their portion with their affiliated persons) and any participating Regulated Fund(s) in accordance with the amount of each such party’s investment; and
|
(iv) |
the proposed investment by the Regulated Fund will not involve compensation, remuneration or a direct or indirect27 financial benefit to any Advisers, any
other Regulated Fund, the Affiliated Funds or any affiliated person of any of them (other than the parties to the Co-Investment Transaction), except (A) to the extent permitted by Condition 14, (B) to the extent permitted by Section 17(e) or
57(k), as applicable, (C) indirectly, as a result of an interest in the securities issued by one of the parties to the Co-Investment Transaction, or (D) in the case of fees or other compensation described in Condition 2(c)(iii)(B)(z).
|
3. |
Right to Decline. Each Regulated Fund has the right to decline to
participate in any Potential Co-Investment Transaction or to invest less than the amount proposed.
|
4. |
General Limitation. Except for Follow-On Investments made in
accordance with Conditions 8 and 9 below,28 a Regulated Fund will not invest in reliance on the Order in any issuer in which a Related Party has an investment.
|
5. |
Same Terms and Conditions. A Regulated Fund will not participate
in any Potential Co-Investment Transaction unless (i) the terms, conditions, price, class of securities to be purchased, date on which the commitment is entered into and registration rights (if any) will be the same for each participating
Regulated Fund and Affiliated Fund and (ii) the earliest settlement date and the latest settlement date of any participating Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund will occur as close in time as practicable and in no event more than ten business
days apart. The grant to one or more Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds, but not the respective Regulated Fund, of the right to nominate a director for election to a portfolio company’s board of directors, the right to have an observer on
the board of directors or similar rights to participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company will not be interpreted so as to violate this Condition 5, if Condition 2(c)(iii)(B) is met.
|
6. |
Standard Review Dispositions.
|
(a) |
General. If any Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund elects to sell, exchange or
otherwise dispose of an interest in a security and one or more Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds have previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer, then:
|
(i) |
the Adviser to such Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund will notify each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer of the proposed Disposition at the earliest practical time; and
|
27 |
For example, procuring the Regulated Fund’s investment in a Potential Co-Investment Transaction to permit an affiliate to complete or obtain better terms in a separate transaction would constitute an indirect financial benefit.
|
28 |
This exception applies only to Follow-On Investments by a Regulated Fund in issuers in which that Regulated Fund already holds investments.
|
(ii) |
the Adviser to each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer will formulate a recommendation as to participation by such Regulated Fund in the Disposition.
|
(b) |
Same Terms and Conditions. Each Regulated Fund will have the right to
participate in such Disposition on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Affiliated Funds and any other Regulated Fund.
|
(c) |
No Board Approval Required. A Regulated Fund may participate in such a
Disposition without obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if:
|
(ii) |
each security is a Tradable Security and (A) the Disposition is not to the issuer or any affiliated person of the issuer; and (B) the security is sold for cash in a transaction in which the only term negotiated by or on behalf of the
participating Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds is price.
|
(d) |
Standard Board Approval. In all other cases, the Adviser will provide its
written recommendation as to the Regulated Fund’s participation to the Eligible Directors and the Regulated Fund will participate in such Disposition solely to the extent that a Required Majority determines that it is in the Regulated
Fund’s best interests.
|
7. |
Enhanced Review Dispositions.
|
(a) |
General. If any Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund elects to sell, exchange or
otherwise dispose of a Pre-Boarding Investment in a Potential Co-Investment Transaction and the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer:
|
(i) |
the Adviser to such Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund will notify each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer of the proposed Disposition at the earliest practical time;
|
(ii) |
the Adviser to each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer will formulate a recommendation as to participation by such Regulated Fund in the Disposition; and
|
(iii) |
the Advisers will provide to the Board of each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer all information relating to the existing investments in the issuer of the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds, including the terms of
such investments and how they were made, that is necessary for the Required Majority to make the findings required by this Condition.
|
(b) |
Enhanced Board Approval. The Adviser will provide its written recommendation as
to the Regulated Fund’s participation to the Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Fund will participate in such Disposition solely to the extent that a Required Majority determines that:
|
29 |
In the case of any Disposition, proportionality will be measured by each participating Regulated Fund’s and Affiliated Fund’s outstanding investment in the security in question immediately preceding the Disposition.
|
(i) |
the Disposition complies with Condition 2(c)(i), (ii), (iii)(A), and (iv).
|
(ii) |
the making and holding of the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 or Rule 17d-1, as applicable, and records the basis for the finding in the Board minutes.
|
(c) |
Additional Requirements: The Disposition may only be completed in reliance on
the Order if:
|
(i) |
Same Terms and Conditions. Each Regulated Fund
has the right to participate in such Disposition on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Affiliated Funds and any other Regulated Fund;
|
(ii) |
Original Investments. All of the Affiliated
Funds’ and Regulated Funds’ investments in the issuer are Pre-Boarding Investments;
|
(iii) |
Advice of counsel. Independent counsel to the
Board advises that the making and holding of the investments in the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 (as modified by Rule 57b-1) or Rule 17d-1, as applicable;
|
(iv) |
Multiple Classes of Securities. All Regulated
Funds and Affiliated Funds that hold Pre-Boarding Investments in the issuer immediately before the time of completion of the Co-Investment Transaction hold the same security or securities of the issuer. For the purpose of determining
whether the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds hold the same security or securities, they may disregard any security held by some but not all of them if, prior to relying on the Order, the Required Majority is presented with all
information necessary to make a finding, and finds, that: (x) any Regulated Fund’s or Affiliated Fund’s holding of a different class of securities (including for this purpose a security with a different maturity date) is immaterial30 in amount, including immaterial relative to the size of the issuer; and (y) the Board records the basis for any such finding in its minutes. In addition,
securities that differ only in respect of issuance date, currency, or denominations may be treated as the same security; and
|
(v) |
No control. The Affiliated Funds, the other
Regulated Funds and their affiliated persons (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) of the Act), individually or in the aggregate, do not control the issuer of the securities (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the Act).
|
8. |
Standard Review Follow-Ons.
|
(a) |
General. If any Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund desires to make a Follow-On
Investment in an issuer and the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds holding investments in the issuer previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer or, if such participant is an Affiliated Fund, is not
invested in the issuer:
|
(i) |
the Adviser to each such Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund will notify each Regulated Fund that holds securities of the portfolio company of the proposed transaction at the earliest practical time; and
|
30 |
In determining whether a holding is “immaterial” for purposes of the Order, the Required Majority will consider whether the nature and extent of the interest in the transaction or arrangement is sufficiently small that a reasonable person
would not believe that the interest affected the determination of whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement or the terms of the transaction or arrangement.
|
(ii) |
the Adviser to each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer will formulate a recommendation as to the proposed participation, including the amount of the proposed investment, by such Regulated Fund.
|
(b) |
No Board Approval Required. A Regulated Fund may participate in the Follow-On
Investment without obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if:
|
(ii) |
it is a Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investment.
|
(c) |
Standard Board Approval. In all other cases, the Adviser will provide its
written recommendation as to the Regulated Fund’s participation to the Eligible Directors and the Regulated Fund will participate in such Follow-On Investment solely to the extent that a Required Majority makes the determinations set forth
in Condition 2(c). If the only previous Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer was an Enhanced Review Disposition the Eligible Directors must complete this review of the proposed Follow-On Investment both on a stand-alone
basis and together with the Pre-Boarding Investments in relation to the total economic exposure and other terms of the investment.
|
(d) |
Allocation. If, with respect to any such Follow-On Investment:
|
(i) |
the amount of the opportunity proposed to be made available to any Regulated Fund is not based on the Regulated Funds’ and the Affiliated Funds’ outstanding investments in the issuer or the security at issue, as appropriate, immediately
preceding the Follow-On Investment; and
|
(ii) |
the aggregate amount recommended by the Advisers to be invested in the Follow-On Investment by the participating Regulated Funds and any participating Affiliated Funds, collectively, exceeds the amount of the investment opportunity, then
the Follow-On Investment opportunity will be allocated among them pro rata based on the size of the Internal Orders, as described in section III.A.1.b. above.
|
(e) |
Other Conditions. The acquisition of Follow-On Investments as permitted by this
Condition will be considered a Co-Investment Transaction for all purposes and subject to the other Conditions set forth in this application.
|
9. |
Enhanced Review Follow-Ons.
|
(a) |
General. If any Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund desires to make a Follow-On
Investment in an issuer that is a Potential Co-Investment Transaction and the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds holding investments in the issuer have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer
or, if such participant is an Affiliated Fund, is not invested in the issuer:
|
31 |
To the extent that a Follow-On Investment opportunity is in a security or arises in respect of a security held by the participating Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds, proportionality will be measured by each participating Regulated
Fund’s and Affiliated Fund’s outstanding investment in the security in question immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment using the most recent available valuation thereof. To the extent that a Follow-On Investment opportunity relates to
an opportunity to invest in a security that is not in respect of any security held by any of the participating Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds, proportionality will be measured by each participating Regulated Fund’s and Affiliated Fund’s
outstanding investment in the issuer immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment using the most recent available valuation thereof.
|
(i) |
the Adviser to each such Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund will notify each Regulated Fund that holds securities of the portfolio company of the proposed transaction at the earliest practical time;
|
(ii) |
the Adviser to each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer will formulate a recommendation as to the proposed participation, including the amount of the proposed investment, by such Regulated Fund; and
|
(iii) |
the Advisers will provide to the Board of each Regulated Fund that holds an investment in the issuer all information relating to the existing investments in the issuer of the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds, including the terms of
such investments and how they were made, that is necessary for the Required Majority to make the findings required by this Condition.
|
(b) |
Enhanced Board Approval. The Adviser will provide its written recommendation as
to the Regulated Fund’s participation to the Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Fund will participate in such Follow-On Investment solely to the extent that a Required Majority reviews the proposed Follow-On Investment both on a
stand-alone basis and together with the Pre-Boarding Investments in relation to the total economic exposure and other terms and makes the determinations set forth in Condition 2(c). In addition, the Follow-On Investment may only be
completed in reliance on the Order if the Required Majority of each participating Regulated Fund determines that the making and holding of the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 (as modified by Rule 57b-1) or Rule
17d-1, as applicable. The basis for the Board’s findings will be recorded in its minutes.
|
(c) |
Additional Requirements. The Follow-On Investment may only be completed in
reliance on the Order if:
|
(i) |
Original Investments. All of the Affiliated
Funds’ and Regulated Funds’ investments in the issuer are Pre-Boarding Investments;
|
(ii) |
Advice of counsel. Independent counsel to the
Board advises that the making and holding of the investments in the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 (as modified by Rule 57b-1) or Rule 17d-1, as applicable;
|
(iii) |
Multiple Classes of Securities. All Regulated
Funds and Affiliated Funds that hold Pre-Boarding Investments in the issuer immediately before the time of completion of the Co-Investment Transaction hold the same security or securities of the issuer. For the purpose of determining
whether the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds hold the same security or securities, they may disregard any security held by some but not all of them if, prior to relying on the Order, the Required Majority is presented with all
information necessary to make a finding, and finds, that: (x) any Regulated Fund’s or Affiliated Fund’s holding of a different class of securities (including for this purpose a security with a different maturity date) is immaterial in
amount, including immaterial relative to the size of the issuer; and (y) the Board records the basis for any such finding in its minutes. In addition, securities that differ only in respect of issuance date, currency, or denominations may
be treated as the same security; and
|
(iv) |
No control. The Affiliated Funds, the other
Regulated Funds and their affiliated persons (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) of the Act), individually or in the aggregate, do not control the issuer of the securities (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the Act).
|
(d) |
Allocation. If, with respect to any such Follow-On Investment:
|
(i) |
the amount of the opportunity proposed to be made available to any Regulated Fund is not based on the Regulated Funds’ and the Affiliated Funds’ outstanding investments in the issuer or the security at issue, as appropriate, immediately
preceding the Follow-On Investment; and
|
(ii) |
the aggregate amount recommended by the Advisers to be invested in the Follow-On Investment by the participating Regulated Funds and any participating Affiliated Funds, collectively, exceeds the amount of the investment opportunity, then
the Follow-On Investment opportunity will be allocated among them pro rata based on the size of the Internal Orders, as described in section III.A.1.b. above.
|
(e) |
Other Conditions. The acquisition of Follow-On Investments as permitted by this
Condition will be considered a Co-Investment Transaction for all purposes and subject to the other Conditions set forth in this application.
|
10. |
Board Reporting, Compliance and Annual Re-Approval.
|
(a) |
Each Adviser to a Regulated Fund will present to the Board of each Regulated Fund, on a quarterly basis, and at such other times as the Board may request, (i) a record of all investments in Potential Co-Investment Transactions made by any
of the other Regulated Funds or any of the Affiliated Funds during the preceding quarter that fell within the Regulated Fund’s then-current Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria that were not made available to the Regulated
Fund, and an explanation of why such investment opportunities were not made available to the Regulated Fund; (ii) a record of all Follow-On Investments in and Dispositions of investments in any issuer in which the Regulated Fund holds any
investments by any Affiliated Fund or other Regulated Fund during the prior quarter; and (iii) all information concerning Potential Co-Investment Transactions and Co-Investment Transactions, including investments made by other Regulated Funds
or Affiliated Funds that the Regulated Fund considered but declined to participate in, so that the Independent Directors, may determine whether all Potential Co-Investment Transactions and Co-Investment Transactions during the preceding
quarter, including those investments that the Regulated Fund considered but declined to participate in, comply with the Conditions.
|
(b) |
All information presented to the Regulated Fund’s Board pursuant to this Condition will be kept for the life of the Regulated Fund and at least two years thereafter, and will be subject to examination by the Commission and its staff.
|
(c) |
Each Regulated Fund’s chief compliance officer, as defined in rule 38a-1(a)(4), will prepare an annual report for its Board each year that evaluates (and documents the basis of that evaluation) the Regulated Fund’s compliance with the
Conditions of the Application and the procedures established to achieve such compliance. In the case of a BDC Downstream Fund that does not have a chief compliance officer, the chief compliance officer of the BDC that controls the BDC
Downstream Fund will prepare the report for the relevant Independent Party.
|
(d) |
The Eligible Directors will consider at least annually: (i) the continued appropriateness for the Regulated Fund of participating in new and existing Co-Investment Transactions; and (ii) the continued appropriateness of any
Board-Established Criteria.
|
11. |
Record Keeping. Each Regulated Fund will maintain the records
required by Section 57(f)(3) of the Act as if each of the Regulated Funds were a BDC and each of the investments permitted under these Conditions were approved by the Required Majority under Section 57(f).
|
12. |
Director Independence. No Independent Director (including the
non-interested members of any Independent Party) of a Regulated Fund will also be a director, general partner, managing member or principal, or otherwise be an “affiliated person” (as defined in the Act) of any Affiliated Fund.
|
13. |
Expenses. The expenses, if any, associated with acquiring, holding
or disposing of any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction (including, without limitation, the expenses of the distribution of any such securities registered for sale under the Securities Act) will, to the extent not payable by
any Advisers under their respective advisory agreements with the Regulated Funds and the Affiliated Funds, be shared by the Regulated Funds and the participating Affiliated Funds in proportion to the relative amounts of the securities held
or being acquired or disposed of, as the case may be.
|
14. |
Transaction Fees.32 Any transaction fee (including break-up, structuring, monitoring or commitment fees but excluding brokerage or underwriting compensation permitted by Section 17(e) or 57(k)) received in
connection with any Co-Investment Transaction will be distributed to the participants on a pro rata basis based on the amounts they invested or committed, as the case may be, in such Co-Investment Transaction. If any transaction fee is to
be held by an Adviser pending consummation of the transaction, the fee will be deposited into an account maintained by the Adviser at a bank or banks having the qualifications prescribed in Section 26(a)(1), and the account will earn a
competitive rate of interest that will also be divided pro rata among the participants. None of the Advisers, the Affiliated Funds, the other Regulated Funds or any affiliated person of the Affiliated Funds or the Regulated Funds will
receive any additional compensation or remuneration of any kind as a result of or in connection with a Co-Investment Transaction other than (i) in the case of the Regulated Funds and the Affiliated Funds, the pro rata transaction fees
described above and fees or other compensation described in Condition 2(c)(iii)(B)(z), (ii) brokerage or underwriting compensation permitted by Section 17(e) or 57(k) or (iii) in the case of the Advisers, investment advisory compensation
paid in accordance with investment advisory agreements between the applicable Regulated Fund(s) or Affiliated Fund(s) and its Adviser.
|
15. |
Independence. If the Holders own in the aggregate more than 25
percent of the Shares of a Regulated Fund, then the Holders will vote such Shares in the same percentages as the Regulated Fund’s other shareholders (not including the Holders) when
voting on (1) the election of directors; (2) the removal of one or more directors; or (3) any other matter under either the Act or applicable State law affecting the Board’s composition, size or manner of election.
