Informational Purposes Only

This Website contains general information about THL and its portfolio and is directed at portfolio company management teams interested in partnering with THL, existing portfolio company management teams and for individuals considering possible employment with THL.  This Website is not directed at existing or prospective investors in any THL Fund. This Website does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, including, without limitation, any interest in any investment vehicle managed by THL or any company in which THL, any THL Fund, or any of their respective affiliates, have invested. This Website is not intended for prospective investors in any THL Fund and does not provide information material to an investor’s decision to invest in any THL Fund.  An offer or solicitation will be made only through a final private placement memorandum, subscription agreement and other related documents with respect to a particular investment opportunity and will be subject to the terms and conditions contained in such documents, including the qualifications necessary to become an investor. Nothing on this Website is intended to be, and you should not consider anything on the Website to be, investment, accounting, tax or legal advice, nor does any information on this Website constitute a comprehensive or complete statement of the matters discussed or the law relating thereto. Although this Website may include investment-related information, nothing on this Website is a recommendation that you purchase, sell or hold any security or other investment, or that you pursue any investment style or strategy.

ESG

While THL has an ESG program, its funds are not ESG or sustainability funds. THL’s integration of ESG factors into the investment decision making and monitoring process does not mean that ESG is the sole, or primary, or a material consideration for such investment decisions. The extent of THL’s consideration of ESG factors varies depending on numerous factors, including the nature of the portfolio company’s business, the size of the Fund’s potential or investment and the level of control the Fund will have or has over the company. THL believes that while ESG factors can impact a portfolio company’s performance, such ESG factors are just some of a number of factors considered in the overall due diligence and monitoring process and do not by themselves drive the selection or exclusion of a particular investment. ESG is only one of many considerations that THL takes into account when making investment decisions, and other considerations can be expected to outweigh ESG considerations.  It is also possible that, for various reasons, one or more ESG factors may not be considered, or one or more factors may be considered more than others, in connection with evaluating or monitoring an investment in a portfolio company.

Additionally, it should not be assumed that any ESG initiatives, standards, or metrics described herein will apply to each asset in which THL invests or that they have applied to each of THL’s prior investments. The information provided herein is intended solely to provide an indication of the ESG initiatives and standards that THL applies when seeking to evaluate and/or improve the ESG characteristics of an asset as part of the larger goal of maximizing financial returns on investments. Accordingly, it can be expected that certain investments exhibit characteristics that are inconsistent.

Past Performance Not Indicative of Future Results

Past performance data is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as a representation as to the performance of any THL Fund or portfolio company thereof following the date of such performance data, or of the future performance of any fund or company affiliated with THL or its affiliates. Information about the THL Funds and investments made by such funds, including past performance of such funds and investments and other data regarding investment activity, is provided solely to illustrate THL’s investment experience and is not intended to be indicative of future results. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and there can be no assurance that any THL Fund will achieve comparable results as those presented, or that investors in such THL Fund will not lose any of their invested capital. Moreover, with respect to unrealized investments, there can be no assurance that such investments will be realized or of the value at which they will be realized.

Forward Looking Statements

The Website may contain various forward looking statements within the meaning of the United States Securities Act of 1933. These statements are made to assist you in understanding the current and potential future performance of portfolio companies held by THL Funds. Such statements include the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates”, “future” and words of similar substance. We base these forward looking statements on our current expectations (or expectations at the time of publication of the applicable materials), which are informed by information developed independently by THL and information from portfolio companies and third parties. These forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are related to, among other things: anticipated growth strategies, product development, technological advances, legal and regulatory changes, anticipated industry trends and conditions, expected capital needs, the ability to compete in the future and general market risk.

To the extent portfolio companies file periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, we also direct you to the “Risk Factors” disclosure contained in such reports for specific risks associated with investing in such companies, but THL assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, adequacy or timeliness of such disclosure. All Wall Street and/or company estimates included in documents in the Website are included for illustrative purposes only and have not been adapted, endorsed or independently verified by THL. The Website contains certain information which THL has obtained from portfolio companies directly. THL has not confirmed the accuracy of all such information, and is not undertaking any obligation to update or revise any such information. Actual results could and likely will differ, sometimes materially, from those projected or anticipated. THL is not undertaking any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not take any statements regarding past trends or activities as a representation that the trends or activities will continue in the future. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these statements.

Subjective Views

Quotes by the personnel on the Website reflect the sole views or opinions of the individuals quoted. Such statements are subjective and cannot be independently verified. It should not be assumed that such views are reflective of the views of THL more broadly or that another third-party would share the same views.

Statements by Portfolio Company Executives

Certain quotes and/or videos shown on the Website include statements provided by certain executives of portfolio companies owned by THL Funds, some of whom may also be limited partners in the THL funds. None of the executives were compensated for providing these statements. As a result of the ownership structure of these portfolio companies and the executives’ investments in the THL Funds, a conflict of interest exists because the executives have an incentive to make positive statements about THL and their experiences with THL to maintain the goodwill of THL. Any projections, estimates, forecasts, targets, prospects and/or opinions expressed in these videos are subject to change without notice and may differ or be contrary to opinions expressed by others. The statements reflect the subjective views of the speaker and THL has not independently verified such information and makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein.

Executive Partners

Executive Partners and Senior Advisors are part-time consultants and are not part of the Strategic Resource Group.
