Executive Summary | General Partner | Investment Strategy | Track Record | ESG | Appendices JFL Equity Investors VI, L.P. | Page 22#24GPRS Explanation The General Partner Rating System ("GPRS") is a proprietary metric developed by Hamilton Lane to assign numerical ratings to a range of quantitative and qualitative measures used in the evaluation of new fund opportunities. The rating system is comprised of four categories: organization, strategy, track record and risk mitigation. Each category consists of numerous subcategories to which a GP is assigned a score of 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest and best possible score. Scores from each subcategory are weighted and totaled to determine category scores and, subsequently, compute an overall fund score. See below for a more detailed explanation of each GPRS category. Hamilton Lane leverages information obtained from multiple sources to complete the GPRS, including due diligence questionnaires, introductory and onsite meetings with general partners and reference calls. Given the differing characteristics across buyout, growth/venture and credit funds, strategy-specific GPRS models are used for the evaluation of individual buyout, growth/venture and credit opportunities. Hamilton Lane The output of the GPRS is used by Hamilton Lane to help inform and direct diligence efforts by highlighting areas of relative strength or weakness for general partners and funds under consideration. Investment decisions made by Hamilton Lane are not based on GPRS ratings. Similarly, GPRS ratings are not used to compare different general partners or multiple fund offerings. GPRS Categories Team Strategy ESG A key component to Hamilton Lane's fund diligence process is the thorough evaluation of a general partner's organization. Analyzing team composition and management, internal processes, and business practices and procedures are essential to safeguarding client capital. Hamilton Lane seeks to invest in best-in-class managers with leading organizations whose interests are aligned with those of its Limited Partners. Sample considerations: team experience and tenure, staffing requirements, compensation, firm ownership, back office practices and IT capabilities Track Record . Gaining an understanding of a general partner's dedicated fund strategy and investment approach is crucial to evaluating the relative strength or weakness of a new fund opportunity. Hamilton Lane undertakes a comprehensive review of a general partner's investment philosophy and activities, including competitive positioning and value creation capabilities. Sample considerations: sourcing abilities, market reputation, differentiation, sources of value appreciation Risk Mitigation A comprehensive assessment of manager risk mitigation is an important component of Hamilton Lane's diligence process. Risk, encompassing a general partner's investment strategy, fund and portfolio company profiles, and management practices, is reviewed and evaluated across many measures. It is important to note that the GPRS analysis of risk mitigation is completed independent of Hamilton Lane's Operational Due Diligence Team and does not rely on any of their findings in its analysis. Focusing on the quantitative components of assessing investment acumen, Hamilton Lane reviews the general partner's track record utilizing proprietary models to identify drivers of past success and the potential for replicating successful performance in the future. An assessment of the unrealized portfolio is conducted to ensure the track record is a true representation of the value of the portfolio. Performance is also evaluated across multiple metrics such as deal size, lead investment professional, industry and geography to identify any trends or anomalies that may have impacted returns. Sample considerations: benchmarking, J-curve analysis, cash management, realization activity and hold periods Sample considerations: portfolio company cash flows and profitability, entry prices and use of leverage, portfolio construction practices, deployment and changes in fund size, personnel issues, headline and key man risk Understanding a general partner's approach to managing the environmental, social and governance risks related to its business practices, portfolio management and portfolio company exposures is an important element of Hamilton Lane's diligence process. By leveraging comprehensive ESG and diversity questionnaires and reviewing ESG and diversity initiatives with managers during diligence sessions, Hamilton Lane is able to identify industry best practices and evaluate a general partner's ESG capabilities. Sample considerations: organizational approach, prior investments and expected investments going forward Executive Summary | General Partner | Investment Strategy | Track Record | ESG | Appendices February 2023 | Proprietary and Confidential JFL Equity Investors VI, L.P. | Page 23#25Benchmark Analysis: DPI: Hamilton Lane ESG: Gross IRR: Investment Pacing: J-curve Benchmark: Loss Ratio Analysis: Net IRR: Net Returns to Limited Partners: Outlier Analysis: PME Analysis: Realized Attribution Analysis: Realized Investments: RVPI: TVPI: February 2023 | Proprietary and Confidential Definitions An analysis that compares the net IRR of the prior funds to the top-quartile net IRR benchmarks for similar funds (based on strategy and vintage) as reported by the Hamilton Lane database. The benchmark data shown is the most recent data available at this time Distributed-to-Paid In = (Amount of Distributions Received)/(Total Amount of Capital Paid-In) Environmental, Social and Governance Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of investments at the "fund level," excludes fees paid by LPs to the General Partner such as management fees and carried interest. For investments held less than one year, Hamilton Lane nominalizes the IRR to match the hold period of the investment in order to represent a more meaningful number An analysis of the total capital invested during the given years. Includes all prior investments, realized or unrealized Peer (median by age) is calculated by taking the median IRR of similar funds (based on strategy and vintage) in Hamilton Lane's database at each quarter, which are simulated as investing at the same point in time. The length of time to break the J-curve is calculated from inception to the first time each fund generated a positive net IRR An analysis of the capital invested in realized transactions generating different multiples of invested capital Annualized Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of investments at the LP level inclusive of fees such as management fees and carried interest paid to the General Partner The performance of the General Partner's prior investment vehicles at the net LP level, inclusive of all fees, carried interest and expenses. Performance data is as reported by the General Partner using actual capital contributions, distributions and net asset value for either all limited partners, or a sample set of limited partners, in the respective funds An analysis of the gross returns of investments in prior funds, comparing overall performance against the performance when certain 'outlier' transactions are excluded. Outliers are defined as transactions that generate exceptionally positive or negative results Calculated by taking the fund's monthly cash flows and investing them in the relevant Total Return Index (where all dividends are re- invested). Contributions were scaled by a factor such that the ending portfolio balance would be equal to the private equity net asset value (equal ending exposures for both portfolios). This prevents shorting of the public market equivalent portfolio in order to match the performance of an outperforming private equity portfolio. Distributions were not scaled by this factor. The IRRs were then calculated based on these adjusted cash flows. The selected PME represents the most relevant public market benchmark Analysis of the capital invested in, and performance of, the prior realized transactions according to the criteria indicated Hamilton Lane classifies investments as "realized" if it has: i) an unrealized value of less than 20% of the total value; ii) a carrying value that has been written to zero or has been previously written-off; or iii) been fully exited and the GP has no remaining interest in the company Executive Summary | General Partner | Investment Strategy | Track Record | ESG | Appendices Remaining Value-to-Paid In = (Current Net Asset Value)/(Total Amount of Capital Paid-In) Total Value-to-Paid In = (Amount of Distributions Received + Current Net Asset Value)/(Total Amount of Capital Paid-In) JFL Equity Investors VI, L.P. | Page 24#26Hamilton Lane Time-Zero IRR: Write-Down Ratio: Write-Off Ratio: Definitions (cont.)
