FORM ADV (Paper Version)
UNIFORM APPLICATION FOR INVESTMENT ADVISER REGISTRATION ANDREPORT FORM BY EXEMPT REPORTING ADVISERS Form ADV: General Instructions Read these instructions carefully before filing Form ADV. Failure to follow these instructions, properly complete the form, or pay all required fees may result in your application or report being delayed or rejected. In these instructions and in Form ADV, ��you�� means the investment adviser (i.e., the advisory firm). If you are a ��separately identifiable department or division�� (SID) of a bank, ��you�� means the SID, rather than your bank, unless the instructions or the form provide otherwise. If you are a private fund adviser filing an umbrella registration, ��you�� means the filing adviser and each relying adviser, unless the instructions or the form provide otherwise. The information in Items 1, 2, 3 and 10 (including corresponding schedules) should be provided for the filing adviser only. Terms that appear in italics are defined in the Glossary of Terms to Form ADV. 1. Where can I get more information on Form ADV, electronic filing, and the IARD? The SEC provides information about its rules and the Advisers Act on its website: <http://www.sec.gov/iard>. NASAA provides information about state investment adviser laws and state rules, and how to contact a state securities authority, on its website: <http://www.nasaa.org>. FINRA provides information about the IARD and electronic filing on the IARD website: <http://www.iard.com>. 2. What is Form ADV used for? Investment advisers use Form ADV to: • Register with the Securities and Exchange Commission • Register with one or more state securities authorities

• Amend those registrations • Report to the SEC as an exempt reporting adviser • Report to one or more state securities authorities as an exempt reporting adviser • Amend those reports; and • Submit a final report as an exempt reporting adviser 3. How is Form ADV organized? Form ADV contains five parts: • Part 1A asks a number of questions about you, your business practices, the persons who own and control you, and the persons who provide investment advice on your behalf. o All advisers registering with the SEC or any of the state securities authorities must complete Part 1A. o Exempt reporting advisers (that are not also registering with any state securities authority) must complete only the following Items of Part 1A: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, and 11, as well as corresponding schedules. Exempt reporting advisers that are registering with any state securities authority must complete all of Form ADV. Part 1A also contains several supplemental schedules. The items of Part 1A let you know which schedules you must complete. o Schedule A asks for information about your direct owners and executive officers. o Schedule B asks for information about your indirect owners. o Schedule C is used by paper filers to update the information required by Schedules A and B (see Instruction 18). o Schedule D asks for additional information for certain items in Part 1A. o Schedule R asks for additional information about relying advisers. o Disclosure Reporting Pages (or DRPs) are schedules that ask for details about disciplinary events involving you or your advisory affiliates. • Part 1B asks additional questions required by state securities authorities. Part 1B contains three additional DRPs. If you are applying for SEC registration or are registered only with the SEC, you do not have to complete Part 1B. (If you are filing electronically and you do not have to complete Part 1B, you will not see Part 1B). • Part 2A requires advisers to create narrative brochures containing information about the advisory firm. The requirements in Part 2A apply to all investment advisers registered with or applying for registration with the SEC, but do not apply to exempt reporting advisers. Every application for registration must include a narrative brochure prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 2A of Form ADV. See Advisers Act Rule 203- 1. • Part 2B requires advisers to create brochure supplements containing information about certain supervised persons. The requirements in Part 2B apply to all investment advisers registered with or applying for registration with the SEC, but do not apply to exempt reporting advisers. • Part 3 requires advisers to create relationship summary (Form CRS) containing information for retail investors. The requirements in Part 3 apply to all investment

advisers registered or applying for registration with the SEC, but do not apply to exempt reporting advisers. Every adviser that has retail investors to whom it must deliver a relationship summary must include in the application for registration a relationship summary prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 3 of Form ADV. See Advisers Act Rule 203-1. 4. When am I required to update my Form ADV? • SEC- and State-Registered Advisers: o Annual updating amendments: You must amend your Form ADV each year by filing an annual updating amendment within 90 days after the end of your fiscal year. When you submit your annual updating amendment, you must update your responses to all items in Part 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B (as applicable), including corresponding sections of Schedules A, B, C, and D and all sections of Schedule R for each relying adviser. You must submit your summary of material changes required by Item 2 of Part 2A either in the brochure (cover page or the page immediately thereafter) or as an exhibit to your brochure. You may, but are not required, to submit amended versions of the relationship summary required by Part 3 as part of your annual updating amendment. o Other-than-annual amendments: In addition to your annual updating amendment, If you are registered with the SEC or a state securities authority, you must amend Part 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B (as applicable) of your Form ADV, including corresponding sections of Schedules A, B, C, D, and R, by filing additional amendments (other-than-annual amendments) promptly, if: o you are adding or removing a relying adviser as part of your umbrella registration; o information you provided in response to Items 1 (except 1.O. and Section 1.F. of Schedule D), 3, 9 (except 9.A.(2), 9.B.(2), 9.E., and 9.F.), or 11 of Part 1A or Items 1, 2.A. through 2.F., or 2.I. of Part 1B or Sections 1 or 3 of Schedule R becomes inaccurate in any way; o information you provided in response to Items 4, 8, or 10 of Part 1A, or Item 2.G. of Part 1B, or Section 4 of Schedule R becomes materially inaccurate; or information you provided in your brochure becomes materially inaccurate (see note below for exceptions). Notes: Part 1: If you are submitting an other-than-annual amendment, you are not required to update your responses to Items 2, 5, 6, 7, 9.A.(2), 9.B.(2), 9.E., 9.F., or 12 of Part 1A, Items 2.H. or 2.J. of Part 1B, Section 1.F. of Schedule D or Section 2 of Schedule R even if your responses to those items have become inaccurate. Part 2: You must amend your brochure supplements (see Form ADV, Part
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5

Page 4
2B) promptly if any information in them becomes materially inaccurate. If you are submitting an other-than-annual amendment to your brochure, you are not required to update your summary of material changes as required by Item 2. You are not required to update your brochure between annual amendments solely because the amount of client assets you manage has changed or because your fee schedule has changed. However, if you are updating your brochure for a separate reason in between annual amendments, and the amount of client assets you manage listed in response to Item 4.E. or your fee schedule listed in response to Item 5.A. has become materially inaccurate, you should update that item(s) as part of the interim amendment. • If you are an SEC-registered adviser, you are required to file your brochure amendments electronically through IARD. You are not required to file amendments to your brochure supplements with the SEC, but you must maintain a copy of them in your files. • If you are a state-registered adviser, you are required to file your brochure amendments and brochure supplement amendments with the appropriate state securities authorities through IARD. Part 3: If you are registered with the SEC, you must amend Part 3 of your Form ADV within 30 days whenever any information in your relationship summary becomes materially inaccurate by filing with the SEC an additional other-than-annual amendment or by including the relationship summary as part of an annual updating amendment. You must include an exhibit highlighting the most recent changes required by Form ADV, Part 3 (Form CRS), General Instruction 8.C. • Exempt reporting advisers: o Annual Updating Amendments: You must amend your Form ADV each year by filing an annual updating amendment within 90 days after the end of your fiscal year. When you submit your annual updating amendment, you must update your responses to all required items, including corresponding sections of Schedules A, B, C, and D. o Other-than-Annual Amendments: In addition to your annual updating amendment, you must amend your Form ADV, including corresponding sections of Schedules A, B, C, and D, by filing additional amendments (other-than-annual amendments) promptly if: information you provided in response to Items 1 (except Item 1.O. and Section 1.F. of Schedule D), 3, or 11 becomes inaccurate in any way; or information you provided in response to Item 10 becomes materially inaccurate. Failure to update your Form ADV, as required by this instruction, is a violation of SEC rules or similar state rules and could lead to your registration being revoked.

5. What is SEC umbrella registration and how can I satisfy the requirements of filing an umbrella registration? An umbrella registration is a single registration by a filing adviser and one or more relying advisers who advise only private funds and certain separately managed account clients that are qualified clients and collectively conduct a single advisory business. Absent other facts suggesting that the filing adviser and relying adviser(s) conduct different businesses, umbrella registration is available under the following circumstances: i. The filing adviser and each relying adviser advise only private funds and clients in separately managed accounts that are qualified clients and are otherwise eligible to invest in the private funds advised by the filing adviser or a relying adviser and whose accounts pursue investment objectives and strategies that are substantially similar or otherwise related to those private funds. ii. The filing adviser has its principal office and place of business in the United States and, therefore, all of the substantive provisions of the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder apply to the filing adviser's and each relying adviser's dealings with each of its clients, regardless of whether any client of the filing adviser or relying adviser providing the advice is a United States person. iii. Each relying adviser, its employees and the persons acting on its behalf are subject to the filing adviser��s supervision and control and, therefore, each relying adviser, its employees and the persons acting on its behalf are ��persons associated with�� the filing adviser (as defined in section 202(a)(17) of the Advisers Act). iv. The advisory activities of each relying adviser are subject to the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder, and each relying adviser is subject to examination by the SEC. v. The filing adviser and each relying adviser operate under a single code of ethics adopted in accordance with SEC rule 204A-1 and a single set of written policies and procedures adopted and implemented in accordance with SEC rule 206(4)-7 and administered by a single chief compliance officer in accordance with that rule. To satisfy the requirements of Form ADV while using umbrella registration the filing adviser must sign, file, and update as required, a single Form ADV (Parts 1 and 2) that relates to, and includes all information concerning, the filing adviser and each relying adviser (e.g., disciplinary information and ownership information), and must include this same information in any other reports or filings it must make under the Advisers Act or the rules thereunder (e.g., Form PF). The filing adviser and each relying adviser must not be prohibited from registering with the SEC by section 203A of the Advisers Act (i.e., the filing adviser and each relying adviser must individually qualify for SEC registration). Unless otherwise specified, references to ��you�� in Form ADV refer to both the filing adviser and each relying adviser. The information in Items 1, 2, 3 and 10 (including corresponding schedules) should be provided for the filing adviser only. A separate Schedule R should be completed for each relying adviser. References to ��you�� in Schedule R refer to the relying
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5

Page 6
adviser only. A filing adviser applying for registration with the SEC should complete a Schedule R for each relying adviser. If you are a filing adviser registered with the SEC and would like to add or delete relying advisers from an umbrella registration, you should file an other-than- annual amendment and add or delete Schedule Rs as needed. Note: Umbrella registration is not available to exempt reporting advisers. 6. Where do I sign my Form ADV application or amendment? You must sign the appropriate Execution Page. There are three Execution Pages at the end of the form. Your initial application, your initial report (in the case of an exempt reporting adviser), and all amendments to Form ADV must include at least one Execution Page. • If you are applying for or are amending your SEC registration, or if you are reporting as an exempt reporting adviser or amending your report, you must sign and submit either a: o Domestic Investment Adviser Execution Page, if you (the advisory firm) are a resident of the United States; or o Non-Resident Investment Adviser Execution Page, if you (the advisory firm) are not a resident of the United States. • If you are applying for or are amending your registration with a state securities authority, you must sign and submit the State-Registered Investment Adviser Execution Page. 7. Who must sign my Form ADV or amendment? The individual who signs the form depends upon your form of organization: • For a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor. • For a partnership, a general partner. • For a corporation, an authorized principal officer. • For a ��separately identifiable department or division�� (SID) of a bank, a principal officer of your bank who is directly engaged in the management, direction, or supervision of your investment advisory activities. • For all others, an authorized individual who participates in managing or directing your affairs. The signature does not have to be notarized, and in the case of an electronic filing, should be a typed name. 8. How do I file my Form ADV? Complete Form ADV electronically using the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD) if:
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5

Page 7
• You are filing with the SEC (and submitting notice filings to any of the state securities authorities), or • You are filing with a state securities authority that requires or permits advisers to submit Form ADV through the IARD. Note: SEC rules require advisers that are registered or applying for registration with the SEC, or that are reporting to the SEC as an exempt reporting adviser, to file electronically through the IARD system. See SEC rules 203-1 and 204-4. To file electronically, go to the IARD website (<www.iard.com>), which contains detailed instructions for advisers to follow when filing through the IARD. Complete Form ADV (Paper Version) on paper if: • You are filing with the SEC or a state securities authority that requires electronic filing, but you have been granted a continuing hardship exemption. Hardship exemptions are described in Instruction 17. • You are filing with a state securities authority that permits (but does not require) electronic filing and you do not file electronically. 9. How do I get started filing electronically? First, obtain a copy of the IARD Entitlement Package from the following website: <http://www.iard.com/GetStarted.asp>. Second, request access to the IARD system for your firm by completing and submitting the IARD Entitlement Package. The IARD Entitlement Package explains how the form may be submitted. Mail the forms to: FINRA Entitlement Group, 9509 Key West Avenue, Rockville, MD 20850. When FINRA receives your Entitlement Package, they will assign a CRD number (identification number for your firm) and a user I.D. code and password (identification number and system password for the individual(s) who will submit Form ADV filings for your firm). Your firm may request an I.D. code and password for more than one individual. FINRA also will create a financial account for you from which the IARD will deduct filing fees and any state fees you are required to pay. If you already have a CRD account with FINRA, it will also serve as your IARD account; a separate account will not be established. Once you receive your CRD number, user I.D. code and password, and you have funded your account, you are ready to file electronically. Questions regarding the Entitlement Process should be addressed to FINRA at 240.386.4848. 10. If I am applying for registration with the SEC, or amending my SEC registration, how do I make notice filings with the state securities authorities? If you are applying for registration with the SEC or are amending your SEC registration, one or more state securities authorities may require you to provide them with copies of your SEC

Page 8
filings. We call these filings ��notice filings.�� Your notice filings will be sent electronically to the states that you check on Item 2.C. of Part 1A. The state securities authorities to which you send notice filings may charge fees, which will be deducted from the account you establish with FINRA. To determine which state securities authorities require SEC- registered advisers to submit notice filings and to pay fees, consult the relevant state investment adviser law or state securities authority. See General Instruction 1. If you are granted a continuing hardship exemption to file Form ADV on paper, FINRA will enter your filing into the IARD and your notice filings will be sent electronically to the state securities authorities that you check on Item 2.C. of Part 1A. 11. I am registered with a state. When must I switch to SEC registration? If at the time of your annual updating amendment you meet at least one of the requirements for SEC registration in Item 2.A.(1) to (12) of Part 1A, you must apply for registration with the SEC within 90 days after you file the annual updating amendment. Once you register with the SEC, you are subject to SEC regulation, regardless of whether you remain registered with one or more states. See SEC rule 203A-1(b)(2). Each of your investment adviser representatives, however, may be subject to registration in those states in which the representative has a place of business. See Advisers Act section 203A(b)(1); SEC rule 203A-3(a). For additional information, consult the investment adviser laws or the state securities authority for the particular state in which you are ��doing business.�� See General Instruction 1. 12. I am registered with the SEC. When must I switch to registration with a state securities authority? If you check box 13 in Item 2.A. of Part 1A to report on your annual updating amendment that you are no longer eligible to register with the SEC, you must withdraw from SEC registration within 180 days after the end of your fiscal year by filing Form ADV-W. See SEC rule 203A-1(b)(2). You should consult state law or the state securities authority for the states in which you are ��doing business�� to determine if you are required to register in these states. See General Instruction 1. Until you file your Form ADV-W with the SEC, you will remain subject to SEC regulation, and you also will be subject to regulation in any states where you register. See SEC rule 203A-1(b)(2). 13. I am an exempt reporting adviser. When must I submit my first report on Form ADV? • All exempt reporting advisers: You must submit your initial Form ADV filing within 60 days of relying on the exemption from registration under either section 203(l) of the Advisers Act as an adviser solely to one or more venture capital funds or section 203(m) of the Advisers Act because you act solely as an adviser to private funds and have assets under management in the United States of less than $150 million. • Additional instruction for advisers switching from being registered to being exempt reporting advisers:

Page 9
If you are currently registered as an investment adviser (or have an application for registration pending) with the SEC or with a state securities authority, you must file a Form ADV-W to withdraw from registration in the jurisdictions where you are switching. You must submit the Form ADV-W before submitting your first report as an exempt reporting adviser. 14. I am an exempt reporting adviser. Is it possible that I might be required to also register with or submit a report to a state securities authority? Yes, you may be required to register with or submit a report to one or more state securities authorities. If you are required to register with one or more state securities authorities, you must complete all of Form ADV. See General Instruction 3. If you are required to submit a report to one or more state securities authorities, check the box(es) in Item 2.C. of Part 1A next to the state(s) you would like to receive the report. Each of your investment adviser representatives may also be subject to registration requirements. For additional information about the requirements that may apply to you, consult the investment adviser laws or the state securities authority for the particular state in which you are ��doing business.�� See General Instruction 1. 15. What do I do if I no longer meet the definition of ��exempt reporting adviser��? • Advisers Switching to SEC Registration: o You may no longer be an exempt reporting adviser and may be required to register with the SEC if you wish to continue doing business as an investment adviser. For example, you may be relying on section 203(l) and wish to accept a client that is not a venture capital fund as defined in SEC rule 203(l)-1, or you may have been relying on SEC rule 203(m)-1 and reported in Section 2.B. of Schedule D to your annual updating amendment that you have private fund assets of $150 million or more. If you are relying on section 203(l), unless you qualify for another exemption, you would violate the Advisers Act��s registration requirement if you accept a client that is not a venture capital fund as defined in SEC rule 203(l)-1 before the SEC approves your application for registration. You must submit your final report as an exempt reporting adviser and apply for SEC registration in the same filing. If you were relying on SEC rule 203(m)-1 and you reported in Section 2.B. of Schedule D to your annual updating amendment that you have private fund assets of $150 million or more, you must register with the SEC unless you qualify for another exemption. If you have complied with all SEC reporting requirements applicable to an exempt reporting adviser as such, you have up to 90 days after filing your annual updating amendment to apply for SEC registration, and you may continue doing business as a private fund adviser during this time. You must submit your final report as an exempt reporting adviser and apply for SEC registration in the same filing. Unless you qualify for another exemption, you would violate the Advisers Act��s registration requirement if you accept a client that is not a private fund during this

transition period before the SEC approves your application for registration, and you must comply with all SEC reporting requirements applicable to an exempt reporting adviser as such during this 90-day transition period. If you have not complied with all SEC reporting requirements applicable to an exempt reporting adviser as such, this 90-day transition period is not available to you. Therefore, if the transition period is not available to you, and you do not qualify for another exemption, your application for registration must be approved by the SEC before you meet or exceed SEC rule 203(m)-1��s $150 million asset threshold. o You will be deemed in compliance with the Form ADV filing and reporting requirements until the SEC approves or denies your application. If your application is approved, you will be able to continue business as a registered adviser. o If you register with the SEC, you may be subject to state notice filing requirements. To determine these requirements, consult the investment adviser laws or the state securities authority for the particular state in which you are ��doing business.�� See General Instruction 1. Note: If you are relying on SEC rule 203(m)-1 and you accept a client that is not a private fund, you will lose the exemption provided by SEC rule 203(m)-1 immediately. To avoid this result, you should apply for SEC registration in advance so that the SEC has approved your registration before you accept a client that is not a private fund. The 90-day transition period described above also applies to investment advisers with their principal offices and places of business outside of the United States with respect to their clients who are United States persons (e.g., the adviser would not be eligible for the 90-day transition period if it accepted a client that is a United States person and is not a private fund). • Advisers Not Switching to SEC Registration: o You may no longer be an exempt reporting adviser but may not be required to register with the SEC or may be prohibited from doing so. For example, you may cease to do business as an investment adviser, become eligible for an exemption that does not require reporting, or be ineligible for SEC registration. In this case, you must submit a final report as an exempt reporting adviser to update only Item 1 of Part 1A of Form ADV. o You may be subject to state registration requirements. To determine these requirements, consult the investment adviser laws or the state securities authority for the particular state in which you are ��doing business.�� See General Instruction 1. 16. Are there filing fees? Yes. These fees go to support and maintain the IARD. The IARD filing fees are in addition to any registration or other fee that may be required by state law. You must pay an IARD filing fee for your initial application, your initial report, and each annual updating

amendment. There is no filing fee for an other-than-annual amendment, a final report as an exempt reporting adviser, or Form ADV-W. The IARD filing fee schedule is published at <http://www.sec.gov/iard>; <http://www.nasaa.org>; and <http://www.iard.com>. If you are submitting a paper filing under a continuing hardship exemption (see Instruction 17), you are required to pay an additional fee. The amount of the additional fee depends on whether you are filing Form ADV or Form ADV-W. (There is no additional fee for filings made on Form ADV-W.) The hardship filing fee schedule is available by contacting FINRA at 240.386.4848. 17. What if I am not able to file electronically? If you are required to file electronically but cannot do so, you may be eligible for one of two types of hardship exemptions from the electronic filing requirements. • A temporary hardship exemption is available if you file electronically, but you encounter unexpected difficulties that prevent you from making a timely filing with the IARD, such as a computer malfunction or electrical outage. This exemption does not permit you to file on paper; instead it extends the deadline for an electronic filing for seven business days. See SEC rules 203-3(a) and 204-4(e). • A continuing hardship exemption may be granted if you are a small business and you can demonstrate that filing electronically would impose an undue hardship. You are a small business, and may be eligible for a continuing hardship exemption, if you are required to answer Item 12 of Part 1A (because you have assets under management of less than $25 million) and you are able to respond ��no�� to each question in Item 12. See SEC rule 0-7. If you have been granted a continuing hardship exemption, you must complete and submit the paper version of Form ADV to FINRA. FINRA will enter your responses into the IARD. As discussed in General Instruction 16, FINRA will charge you a fee to reimburse it for the expense of data entry. 18. I am eligible to file on paper. How do I make a paper filing? When filing on paper, you must: • Type all of your responses. • Include your name (the same name you provide in response to Item 1.A. of Part 1A) and the date on every page. • If you are amending your Form ADV: o complete page 1 and circle the number of any item for which you are changing your response. o include your SEC 801-number (if you have one), or your 802-number (if you have one), and your CRD number (if you have one) on every page. o complete the amended item in full and circle the number of the item for which you are changing your response. o to amend Schedule A or Schedule B, complete and submit Schedule C.
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5

Page 12
Where you submit your paper filing depends on why you are eligible to file on paper: • If you are filing on paper because you have been granted a continuing hardship exemption, submit one manually signed Form ADV and one copy to: IARD Document Processing, FINRA, P.O. Box 9495, Gaithersburg, MD 20898-9495. If you complete Form ADV on paper and submit it to FINRA but you do not have a continuing hardship exemption, the submission will be returned to you. • If you are filing on paper because a state in which you are registered or in which you are applying for registration allows you to submit paper instead of electronic filings, submit one manually signed Form ADV and one copy to the appropriate state securities authorities. 19. Who is required to file Form ADV-NR? Every non-resident general partner and managing agent of all SEC-registered advisers and exempt reporting advisers, whether or not the adviser is a resident in the United States, must file Form ADV-NR in connection with the adviser��s initial application or report. A general partner or managing agent of an SEC-registered adviser or exempt reporting adviser who becomes a non-resident after the adviser��s initial application or report has been submitted must file Form ADV-NR within 30 days. Absent a temporary hardship, Form ADV-NR must be filed electronically through IARD. Failure to file Form ADV-NR promptly may delay SEC consideration of your initial application. 20. How is Form ADV-NR filed? Form ADV-NR is filed electronically with the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD). Information for how to file with IARD is available on the SEC��s website at <www.sec.gov/iard> and on <www.iard.com>. Federal Information Law and Requirements Sections 203 and 204 of the Advisers Act [15 U.S.C. ��� 80b-3 and 80b-4] authorize the SEC to collect the information required by Form ADV. The SEC collects the information for regulatory purposes, such as deciding whether to grant registration. Filing Form ADV is mandatory for advisers who are required to register with the SEC and for exempt reporting advisers. The SEC maintains the information submitted on this form and makes it publicly available. The SEC may return forms that do not include required information. Intentional misstatements or omissions constitute federal criminal violations under 18 U.S.C. �� 1001 and 15 U.S.C. �� 80b-17. SEC��s Collection of Information An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of

information unless it displays a currently valid control number. The Advisers Act authorizes the SEC to collect the information on Form ADV from investment advisers. See 15 U.S.C. ��� 80b-3 and 80b-4. Filing the form is mandatory. The form enables the SEC to register investment advisers and to obtain information from and about exempt reporting advisers. Every applicant for registration with the SEC as an adviser, and every exempt reporting adviser, must file the form. See 17 C.F.R. ��� 275.203-1 and 204-4. By accepting a form, however, the SEC does not make a finding that it has been completed or submitted correctly. The form is filed annually by every adviser, no later than 90 days after the end of its fiscal year, to amend its registration or its report. It is also filed during the year to reflect material changes. See 17 C.F.R. �� 275.204-1. The SEC maintains the information on the form and makes it publicly available through the IARD. Anyone may send the SEC comments on the accuracy of the burden estimate on page 1 of the form, as well as suggestions for reducing the burden. The Office of Management and Budget has reviewed this collection of information under 44 U.S.C. �� 3507. The information contained in the form is part of a system of records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The SEC has published in the Federal Register the Privacy Act System of Records Notice for these records.

In response to Item 1.I., the website addresses and social media information you list on Schedule D should be those that provide information about your own activities, rather than general information about your bank. 2. Item 2: SEC Registration and SEC Report by Exempt Reporting Advisers If you are registered or applying for registration with the SEC, you must indicate in Item 2.A. why you are eligible to register with the SEC by checking at least one of the boxes. a.

You must register with the SEC if you meet at least one of the following requirements: • You are not required to be registered as an investment adviser with the state securities authority of the state where you maintain your principal office and place of business pursuant to that state��s investment adviser laws. If you are exempt from registration with that state or are excluded from the definition of investment adviser in that state, you must register with the SEC. You should consult the investment adviser laws or the state securities authority for the particular state in which you maintain your principal office and place of business to determine if you are required to register in that state. See General Instruction 1. • You are not subject to examination by the state securities authority of the state where you maintain your principal office and place of business. To determine whether such state securities authority does not conduct such examinations, see: https://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/midsizedadviserinfo.htm See section 203A(a)(2) of the Advisers Act. c. Item 2.A.(5): Adviser to an Investment Company. You may check box 5 only if you currently provide advisory services under an investment advisory contract to an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the investment company is operational (i.e., has assets and shareholders, other than just the organizing shareholders). See sections 203A(a)(1)(B) and 203A(a)(2)(A) of the Advisers Act. Advising investors about the merits of investing in mutual funds or recommending particular mutual funds does not make you eligible to check this box. d. Item 2.A.(6): Adviser to a Business Development Company. You may check box 6 only if your response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) is $25 million or more of regulatory assets under management, and you currently provide advisory services under an investment advisory contract to a company that has elected to be a business development company pursuant to section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that has not withdrawn the election, and that is operational (i.e., has assets and shareholders, other than just the organizing shareholders). See section 203A(a)(2)(A) of the Advisers Act. Part 1A Instruction 5.b. explains how to calculate your regulatory assets under management. e. Item 2.A.(7): Pension Consultant. You may check box 7 only if you are eligible for the pension consultant exemption from the prohibition on SEC registration. • You are eligible for this exemption if you provided investment advice to employee benefit plans, governmental plans, or church plans with respect to assets having an aggregate value of $200 million or more during the 12-month period that ended within 90 days of filing this Form ADV. You are not eligible for this exemption if you only advise plan participants on allocating their investments within their pension plans. See SEC rule 203A-2(a). • To calculate the value of assets for purposes of this exemption, aggregate the assets of
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
15

Page 16
the plans for which you provided advisory services at the end of the 12-month period. If you provided advisory services to other plans during the 12-month period, but your employment or contract terminated before the end of the 12-month period, you also may include the value of those assets. f. Item 2.A.(8): Related Adviser. You may check box 8 only if you are eligible for the related adviser exemption from the prohibition on SEC registration. See SEC rule 203A- 2(b). You are eligible for this exemption if you control, are controlled by, or are under common control with an investment adviser that is registered with the SEC, and you have the same principal office and place of business as that other investment adviser. Note that you may not rely on the SEC registration of an Internet adviser under rule 203A-2(e) in establishing eligibility for this exemption. See SEC rule 203A-2(e)(1)(iii). If you check box 8, you also must complete Section 2.A.(8) of Schedule D. g. Item 2.A.(9): Adviser Expecting to be Eligible for Registration within 120 Days. You may check box 9 only if you are eligible for the exemption from the prohibition on SEC registration available to advisers expecting to be eligible for SEC registration within 120 days, such as a newly formed adviser. See SEC rule 203A-2(c). You are eligible for this exemption if immediately before you file your application for registration with the SEC: • you were not registered or required to be registered with the SEC or a state securities authority; and • you have a reasonable expectation that you will be eligible to register with the SEC within 120 days after the date that your registration with the SEC becomes effective. If you check box 9, you also must complete Section 2.A.(9) of Schedule D. You must file an amendment to Part 1A of your Form ADV that updates your response to Item 2.A. within 120 days after the SEC declares your registration effective. You may not check box 9 on your amendment; since this exemption is available only if you are not registered, you may not ��re-rely�� on this exemption. If you indicate on that amendment (by checking box 13) that you are not eligible to register with the SEC, you also must file a Form ADV-W to withdraw your SEC registration no later than 120 days after your registration was declared effective. You should contact the appropriate state securities authority to determine how long it may take to become state-registered sufficiently in advance of when you are required to file Form ADV-W to withdraw from SEC registration. Note: If you expect to be eligible for SEC registration because of the amount of your regulatory assets under management, that amount must be $100 million or more no later than 120 days after your registration is declared effective. h.

SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
16

Page 17
box 10, you must complete Section 2.A.(10) of Schedule D. You must complete Section 2.A.(10) of Schedule D in each annual updating amendment you submit. If you check box 10, you also must: • create and maintain a list of the states in which, but for this exemption, you would be required to register; • update this list each time you submit an annual updating amendment in which you continue to represent that you are eligible for this exemption; and • maintain the list in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than five years from each date on which you indicate that you are eligible for the exemption. If, at the time you file your annual updating amendment, you are required to register in less than 15 states and you are not otherwise eligible to register with the SEC, you must check box 13 in Item 2.A. You also must file a Form ADV-W to withdraw your SEC registration. See Part 1A Instruction 2.j. i. Item 2.A.(11): Internet Adviser. You may check box 11 only if you are eligible for the Internet adviser exemption from the prohibition on SEC registration. See SEC rule 203A-2(e). You are eligible for this exemption if: • you provide investment advice to your clients through an interactive website. An interactive website means a website in which computer software-based models or applications provide investment advice based on personal information each client submits through the website. Other forms of online or Internet investment advice do not qualify for this exemption; • you provide investment advice to all of your clients exclusively through the interactive website, except that you may provide investment advice to fewer than 15 clients through other means during the previous 12 months; and • you maintain a record demonstrating that you provide investment advice to your clients exclusively through an interactive website in accordance with these limits. j. Item 2.A.(13): Adviser No Longer Eligible to Remain Registered with the SEC. You must check box 13 if: • you are registered with the SEC; • you are filing an annual updating amendment to Form ADV in which you indicate in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) that you have regulatory assets under management of less than $90 million; and • you are not eligible to check any other box (other than box 13) in Item 2.A. (and are therefore no longer eligible to remain registered with the SEC). You must withdraw from SEC registration within 180 days after the end of your fiscal year by filing Form ADV-W. Until you file your Form ADV-W, you will remain subject to SEC regulation, and you also will be subject to regulation in the states in which you

Page 18
register. See SEC rule 203A-1(b)(2). k. Item 2.B.: Reporting by Exempt Reporting Advisers. You may check box 2.B.(1) only if you qualify for the exemption from SEC registration as an adviser solely to one or more venture capital funds. See SEC rule 203(l)-1. You may check box 2.B.(2) only if you qualify for the exemption from SEC registration because you act solely as an adviser to private funds and have assets under management in the United States of less than $150 million. See SEC rule 203(m)-1. You may check both boxes to indicate that you qualify for both exemptions. You should check box 2.B.(3) if you act solely as an adviser to private funds but you are no longer eligible to check box 2.B.(2) because you have assets under management in the United States of $150 million or more. If you check box 2.B.(2) or (3), you also must complete Section 2.B. of Schedule D. 3. Item 3: Form of Organization If you are a ��separately identifiable department or division�� (SID) of a bank, answer Item 3.A. by checking ��other.�� In the space provided, specify that you are a ��SID of�� and indicate the form of organization of your bank. Answer Items 3.B. and 3.C. with information about your bank. 4. Item 4: Successions a. Succession of an SEC-Registered Adviser. If you (1) have taken over the business of an investment adviser or (2) have changed your structure or legal status (e.g., form of organization or state of incorporation), a new organization has been created, which has registration obligations under the Advisers Act. There are different ways to fulfill these obligations. You may rely on the registration provisions discussed in the General Instructions, or you may be able to rely on special registration provisions for ��successors�� to SEC-registered advisers, which may ease the transition to the successor adviser��s registration. To determine if you may rely on these provisions, review ��Registration of Successors to Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisers,�� Investment Advisers Act Release No. 1357 (Dec. 28, 1992). If you have taken over an adviser, follow Part 1A Instruction 4.a.(1), Succession by Application. If you have changed your structure or legal status, follow Part 1A, Instruction 4.a.(2), Succession by Amendment. If either (1) you are a ��separately identifiable department or division�� (SID) of a bank that is currently registered as an investment adviser, and you are taking over your bank��s advisory business; or (2) you are a SID currently registered as an investment adviser, and your bank is taking over your advisory business, then follow Part 1A Instruction 4.a.(1), Succession by Application. (1) Succession by Application. If you are not registered with the SEC as an adviser, and you are acquiring or assuming substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the advisory business of an SEC-registered adviser, file a new application for registration on Form ADV. You will receive new registration numbers. You must file the new application within 30 days after the succession. On the application, make sure you
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
18

Page 19
check ��yes�� to Item 4.A., enter the date of the succession in Item 4.B., and complete Section 4 of Schedule D. Until the SEC declares your new registration effective, you may rely on the registration of the adviser you are acquiring, but only if the adviser you are acquiring is no longer conducting advisory activities. Once your new registration is effective, a Form ADV-W must be filed with the SEC to withdraw the registration of the acquired adviser. (2) Succession by Amendment. If you are a new investment adviser formed solely as a result of a change in form of organization, a reorganization, or a change in the composition of a partnership, and there has been no practical change in control or management, you may amend the registration of the registered investment adviser to reflect these changes rather than file a new application. You will keep the same registration numbers, and you should not file a Form ADV-W. On the amendment, make sure you check ��yes�� to Item 4.A., enter the date of the succession in Item 4.B., and complete Section 4 of Schedule D. You must submit the amendment within 30 days after the change or reorganization. b. Succession of a State-Registered Adviser. If you (1) have taken over the business of an investment adviser or (2) have changed your structure or legal status (e.g., form of organization or state of incorporation), a new organization has been created, which has registration obligations under state investment adviser laws. There may be different ways to fulfill these obligations. You should contact each state in which you are registered to determine that state��s requirements for successor registration. See Form ADV General Instruction 1. 5. Item 5: Information About Your Advisory Business a. Newly-Formed Advisers: Several questions in Item 5 that ask about your advisory business assume that you have been operating your advisory business for some time. Your response to these questions should reflect your current advisory business (i.e., at the time you file your Form ADV), with the following exceptions: • base your response to Item 5.E. on the types of compensation you expect to accept; • base your response to Item 5.G. and Item 5.J. on the types of advisory services you expect to provide during the next year; and • skip Item 5.H. b. Item 5.F.: Calculating Your Regulatory Assets Under Management. In determining the amount of your regulatory assets under management, include the securities portfolios for which you provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services as of the date of filing this Form ADV. (1) Securities Portfolios. An account is a securities portfolio if at least 50% of the total value of the account consists of securities. For purposes of this 50% test, you may treat cash and cash equivalents (i.e., bank deposits, certificates of deposit, bankers
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
19

Page 20
acceptances, and similar bank instruments) as securities. You must include securities portfolios that are: (a) your family or proprietary accounts; (b) accounts for which you receive no compensation for your services; and (c) accounts of clients who are not United States persons. For purposes of this definition, treat all of the assets of a private fund as a securities portfolio, regardless of the nature of such assets. For accounts of private funds, moreover, include in the securities portfolio any uncalled commitment pursuant to which a person is obligated to acquire an interest in, or make a capital contribution to, the private fund. (2) Value of Portfolio. Include the entire value of each securities portfolio for which you provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services. If you provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services for only a portion of a securities portfolio, include as regulatory assets under management only that portion of the securities portfolio for which you provide such services. Exclude, for example, the portion of an account: (a) under management by another person; or (b) that consists of real estate or businesses whose operations you ��manage�� on behalf of a client but not as an investment. Do not deduct any outstanding indebtedness or other accrued but unpaid liabilities. (3) Continuous and Regular Supervisory or Management Services. General Criteria. You provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services with respect to an account if: (a) you have discretionary authority over and provide ongoing supervisory or management services with respect to the account; or (b) you do not have discretionary authority over the account, but you have ongoing responsibility to select or make recommendations, based upon the needs of the client, as to specific securities or other investments the account may purchase or sell and, if such recommendations are accepted by the client, you are responsible for arranging or effecting the purchase or sale. Factors. You should consider the following factors in evaluating whether you provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services to an account. (a) Terms of the advisory contract. If you agree in an advisory contract to provide ongoing management services, this suggests that you provide these services for
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
20

Page 21
the account. Other provisions in the contract, or your actual management practices, however, may suggest otherwise. (b) Form of compensation. If you are compensated based on the average value of the client��s assets you manage over a specified period of time, that suggests that you provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services for the account. If you receive compensation in a manner similar to either of the following, that suggests you do not provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services for the account (i) you are compensated based upon the time spent with a client during a client visit; or (ii) you are paid a retainer based on a percentage of assets covered by a financial plan. (c) Management practices. The extent to which you actively manage assets or provide advice bears on whether the services you provide are continuous and regular supervisory or management services. The fact that you make infrequent trades (e.g., based on a ��buy and hold�� strategy) does not mean your services are not ��continuous and regular.�� Examples. You may provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services for an account if you: (a) have discretionary authority to allocate client assets among various mutual funds; (b) do not have discretionary authority, but provide the same allocation services, and satisfy the criteria set forth in Instruction 5.b.(3); (c) allocate assets among other managers (a ��manager of managers��), but only if you have discretionary authority to hire and fire managers and reallocate assets among them; or (d) you are a broker-dealer and treat the account as a brokerage account, but only if you have discretionary authority over the account. You do not provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services for an account if you: (a) provide market timing recommendations (i.e., to buy or sell), but have no ongoing management responsibilities; (b) provide only impersonal investment advice (e.g., market newsletters); (c) make an initial asset allocation, without continuous and regular monitoring and reallocation; or
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
21

Page 22
(d) provide advice on an intermittent or periodic basis (such as upon client request, in response to a market event, or on a specific date (e.g., the account is reviewed and adjusted quarterly)). (4) Value of Regulatory Assets Under Management. Determine your regulatory assets under management based on the current market value of the assets as determined within 90 days prior to the date of filing this Form ADV. Determine market value using the same method you used to report account values to clients or to calculate fees for investment advisory services. In the case of a private fund, determine the current market value (or fair value) of the private fund��s assets and the contractual amount of any uncalled commitment pursuant to which a person is obligated to acquire an interest in, or make a capital contribution to, the private fund. (5) Example. This is an example of the method of determining whether an account of a client other than a private fund may be included as regulatory assets under management. The client��s portfolio consists of the following: $6,000,000 stocks and bonds $1,000,000 cash and cash equivalents $3,000,000 non-securities (collectibles, commodities, real estate, etc.) $10,000,000 Total Assets First, is the account a securities portfolio? The account is a securities portfolio because securities as well as cash and cash equivalents (which you have chosen to include as securities) ($6,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $7,000,000) comprise at least 50% of the value of the account (here, 70%). (See Instruction 5.b.(1)). Second, does the account receive continuous and regular supervisory or management services? The entire account is managed on a discretionary basis and is provided ongoing supervisory and management services, and therefore receives continuous and regular supervisory or management services. (See Instruction 5.b.(3)). Third, what is the entire value of the account? The entire value of the account ($10,000,000) is included in the calculation of the adviser��s total regulatory assets under management. 6. Item 7: Financial Industry Affiliations and Private Fund Reporting Item 7.A. and Section 7.A. of Schedule D ask questions about you and your related persons�� financial industry affiliations. If you are filing an umbrella registration, you should not check Item 7.A.(2) with respect to your relying advisers, and you do not have to complete Section 7.A. in Schedule D for your relying advisers. You should complete Schedule R with respect to your
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
22

Page 23
relying advisers. Item 7.B. and Section 7.B. of Schedule D ask questions about the private funds that you advise. You are required to complete a Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D for each private fund that you advise, except in certain circumstances described under Item 7.B. and below. a. If your principal office and place of business is outside the United States, for purposes of Item 7 and Section 7.B. of Schedule D you may disregard any private fund that, during your last fiscal year, was not a United States person, was not offered in the United States, and was not beneficially owned by any United States person. b. When filing Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D for a private fund, you must acquire an identification number for the fund by logging onto the IARD website and using the private fund identification number generator. You must continue to use the same identification number whenever you amend Section 7.B.(1) for that fund. If you file a Section 7.B.(1) for a private fund for which an identification number has already been acquired by another adviser, you must not acquire a new identification number, but must instead utilize the existing number. If you choose to complete a single Section 7.B.(1) for a master-feeder arrangement under Instruction 6.d. below, you must acquire an identification number also for each feeder fund. c. If any private fund has issued two or more series (or classes) of equity interests whose values are determined with respect to separate portfolios of securities and other assets, then each such series (or class) should be regarded as a separate private fund. In Section 7.B.(1) and 7.B.(2) of Schedule D, next to the name of the private fund, list the name and identification number of the specific series (or class) for which you are filing the sections. This only applies with respect to series (or classes) that you manage as if they were separate funds and not a fund��s side pockets or similar arrangements. d. In the case of a master-feeder arrangement (see questions 6-7 of Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D), instead of completing a Section 7.B.(1) for each of the master fund and each feeder fund, you may complete a single Section 7.B.(1) for the master-feeder arrangement under the name of the master fund if the answers to questions 8, 10, 21 and 23 through 28 are the same for all of the feeder funds (or, in the case of questions 24 and 25, if the feeder funds do not use a prime broker or custodian). If you choose to complete a single Section 7.B.(1), you should disregard the feeder funds, except for the following: (1) Question 11: State the gross assets for the master-feeder arrangement as a whole. (2) Question 12: List the lowest minimum investment commitment applicable to any of the master fund and the feeder funds. (3) Questions 13-16: Answer by aggregating all investors in the master-feeder arrangement (but do not count the feeder funds themselves as investors). (4) Questions 19-20: For purposes of these questions, the private fund means any of the master fund or the feeder funds. In answering the questions, moreover, disregard the feeder funds�� investment in the master fund. (5) Question 22: List all of the Form D SEC file numbers of any of the master fund and
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5
23

Page 24
feeder funds. e. Additional Instructions: (1) Question 9: Investment in Registered Investment Companies: For purposes of this question, disregard any open-end management investment company regulated as a money market fund under rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act if the private fund invests in such a company in reliance on rule 12d1-1 under the same Act. (2) Question 10: Type of Private Fund: For purposes of this question, the following definitions apply: ��Hedge fund�� means any private fund (other than a securitized asset fund): (a) with respect to which one or more investment advisers (or related persons of investment advisers) may be paid a performance fee or allocation calculated by taking into account unrealized gains (other than a fee or allocation the calculation of which may take into account unrealized gains solely for the purpose of reducing such fee or allocation to reflect net unrealized losses); (b) that may borrow an amount in excess of one-half of its net asset value (including any committed capital) or may have gross notional exposure in excess of twice its net asset value (including any committed capital); or (c) that may sell securities or other assets short or enter into similar transactions (other than for the purpose of hedging currency exposure or managing duration). A commodity pool is categorized as a hedge fund solely for purposes of this question. For purposes of this definition, do not net long and short positions. Include any borrowings or notional exposure of another person that are guaranteed by the private fund or that the private fund may otherwise be obligated to satisfy. ��Liquidity fund�� means any private fund that seeks to generate income by investing in a portfolio of short-term obligations in order to maintain a stable net asset value per unit or minimize principal volatility for investors. ��Private equity fund�� means any private fund that is not a hedge fund, liquidity fund, real estate fund, securitized asset fund, or venture capital fund and does not provide investors with redemption rights in the ordinary course. ��Real estate fund�� means any private fund that is not a hedge fund, that does not provide investors with redemption rights in the ordinary course, and that invests primarily in real estate and real estate related assets. ��Securitized asset fund�� means any private fund whose primary purpose is to issue asset backed securities and whose investors are primarily debt-holders.
SEC 1707 (08-22) File 1 of 5

Page 25
��Venture capital fund�� means any private fund meeting the definition of venture capital fund in rule 203(l)-1 under the Advisers Act. ��Other private fund�� means any private fund that is not a hedge fund, liquidity fund, private equity fund, real estate fund, securitized asset fund, or venture capital fund. (3) Question 11: Gross Assets. Report the assets of the private fund that you would include in calculating your regulatory assets under management according to Instruction 5.b. above. (4) Questions 19-20: Other clients�� investments: For purposes of these questions, disregard any feeder fund��s investment in its master fund. (See questions 6-7 for the definition of ��master fund�� and ��feeder fund��). 7. Item 10: Control Persons If you are a ��separately identifiable department or division�� (SID) of a bank, identify on Schedule A your bank��s executive officers who are directly engaged in managing, directing, or supervising your investment advisory activities, and list any other persons designated by your bank��s board of directors as responsible for the day-to-day conduct of your investment advisory activities, including supervising employees performing investment advisory activities. 8. Additional Information If you believe your response to an item in Form ADV Part 1A requires further explanation, or if you wish to provide additional information, you may do so on Schedule D, in the Miscellaneous section. Completion of this section is optional.
