PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
The Funds are managed by John D. (“JD”) Gardner, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Member of the Adviser, and Beckham Wyrick, Portfolio Manager and Chief Compliance Officer of the Adviser (together, the “Portfolio Managers”).
Share Ownership
The Funds are required to show the dollar range of each portfolio manager’s “beneficial ownership” of Shares as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year or a more recent date for a new portfolio manager. Dollar amount ranges disclosed are established by the SEC. “Beneficial ownership” is determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the 1934 Act.

Compensation
The Portfolio Managers’ compensation includes a fixed salary and discretionary bonus based on the financial performance and profitability of the Adviser and not based on the performance of the Funds. The Portfolio Managers are also eligible for deferred compensation.
Description of Material Conflicts of Interest
The Adviser’s management of “other accounts” may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with its management of the Funds’ investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The other accounts may have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Funds. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result, whereby the portfolio manager could favor one account over another. Another potential conflict could include a portfolio manager’s knowledge about the size, timing, and possible market impact of Fund trades, whereby the portfolio manager could use this information to the advantage of other accounts and to the disadvantage of a Fund. However, the Adviser has established policies and procedures to ensure that the purchase and sale of securities among all accounts the Adviser manages are fairly and equitably allocated.
