DISCLOSURES

No content or other material offered through, or contained within, the Website constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy limited partnership or comparable limited liability equity interests (the “Interests”) in TZP Funds. No content or other material offered through, or contained within, the Website purports to be complete, and should not be relied upon as a promise or representation as to past or future performance of TZP entities. In considering any performance data content or other material offered through, or contained within, the Website, one should bear in mind that past performance is not indicative of future results, and there can be no assurance that TZP Funds will achieve comparable results. Prospective investors should not expect the overall performance of TZP Funds to resemble the investment performance of any single investment.

TZP was recognized on Inc. magazine’s annual list of founder-friendly firms in 2022. To compile the list, Inc. reviewed questionnaires and data filled out by founders about their experiences partnering with private equity firms. More information can be found at https://www.inc.com/magazine/202011/graham-winfrey/founder-friendly-private-equity-firms-2020.html. Four TZP portfolio companies (Force Management, Kindred Bravely, Saatva, Triangle Home Fashions) were named to the 2022 Inc. 5000 list, representing the fastest growing private companies in the United States. The Inc. 5000 list ranks companies by overall revenue growth over a three-year period. TZP has not paid any compensation to Inc. in connection with its receipt or use of the ratings included herein. TZP pays a licensing or related fee to participate and/or distribute the results. The award is based on objective criteria comprising of a summary of experiences partnering with private equity and venture capital firms and shared data on how portfolio companies have grown during these partnerships gathered through a questionnaire. The receipt of compensation could potentially cause a conflict of interest relating to any granted award or designation; however, TZP does not pay a direct fee for participation in the award received.

In 2023, TZP was named to the Middle Market (“Middle Market”) list of Top PE Firms in the Middle Market™, which is designed to acknowledge and promote small and mid-sized leading private equity firms in the middle market. More information can be found at www.toppefirms.com. TZP has not paid any compensation to Middle Market in connection with its receipt or use of the award. TZP pays a licensing or related fee pertaining to the utilization of the Middle Market logo. The receipt of compensation could potentially cause a conflict of interest relating to any granted award or designation; however, TZP does not pay a direct fee for participation in the award received. The award is based on objective criteria pertaining to the merits of the firm’s nomination, which include but are not limited to the firm’s track record, reputation, leadership and third-party endorsement.

There can be no assurance that other providers or surveys would reach the same conclusions as the foregoing. The selection of such winners is inherently subjective and others might select other winners based on their assessment of the market. TZP makes no claim to adhere to any particular framework for evaluating environmental matters, people and business practices, and corporate governance. Given the wide range of approaches deployed by other asset managers, there is no assurance that TZP’s initiatives relating to these matters require TZP to engage in any particular practice that other policies may require. There can be no assurances that TZP will be able to implement these initiatives, or that the initiatives will be successful.
