PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

GPB Holdings II, LP (“Holdings II”, the “Partnership”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Registrant”) is a holding company which was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on April 17, 2015 and commenced operations on June 1, 2015. As further described below, the Partnership has sold substantially all of its assets and is now in receivership.

GPB Capital Holdings, LLC (“General Partner”, “GPB Capital”, “Capital Holdings” or “GPB”), a Delaware limited liability company and registered investment adviser, is the Partnership’s General Partner pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated April 26, 2018 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “LPA”). Pursuant to the LPA, GPB conducts and manages our business. As further described below under “SEC Action, Monitorship, Receivership and Related Matters”, GPB has entered into a management services agreement with GPB’s wholly owned subsidiary Highline Management, Inc. (“Highline”). GPB conducted and managed our business, through Highline, which provides certain management services to assist GPB in fulfilling its duties as the Partnership’s General Partner. However, now that the Partnership is in receivership, GPB and Highline continue to act out their duties under supervision and direction of the Receiver, as defined below.

Receivership

The Partnership is currently in receivership. As further described below under “SEC Action, Monitorship, Receivership and Related Matters”, on December 8, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “EDNY Court”) entered an order (the “Trial Court Receivership Order”), appointing Joseph T. Gardemal III as receiver (the “Receiver”) of the General Partner, the GPB-managed partnerships, including the Partnership, and certain GPB affiliated entities, including Highline (collectively, the “Receivership Entities”). Following an appeal of the Trial Court Receivership Order, on December 3, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”) affirmed the Trial Court Receivership Order (the “Receivership Order”), and the receivership (the “Receivership”) took effect.

Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the EDNY Court has taken exclusive jurisdiction and possession of all assets of the Receivership Entities, and the EDNY Court has appointed Mr. Gardemal to serve as the Receiver for the Receivership Entities.

Under the Receivership Order, the Receiver assumed all powers, authorities, rights, and privileges previously possessed by the Receivership Entities and their officers, directors, managers, managing members, and general and limited partners. Since the issuance of the Receivership Order, through the date of this Annual Report, the Partnership has been operating under the direction of the Receiver. In accordance with the Receivership Order, on January 17, 2025, the Receiver filed with the EDNY Court a proposed plan to distribute available Receivership assets to investors and creditors of the Receivership Entities, including the Partnership. The proposed plan of distribution is currently pending before the EDNY Court.

Robert Chmiel and Evan Cutler currently serve as Highline’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, under the supervision and direction of the Receiver. As Highline’s executive officers their duties include managing the Partnership.

Divestiture of Substantially All of the Partnership’s Assets

Commencing in the second half of fiscal 2023, the Partnership entered into agreements to divest of its portfolio companies previously comprising its Technology-Enabled Services segment. Those divested portfolio companies included Experience Care, LLC (“Experience Care”) which was sold on August 23, 2023, for $12.7 million in net cash proceeds, Cantata Health, LLC (“Cantata”) which was sold on October 24, 2023, for $22.3 million in net cash proceeds, and the entirety of the Partnership’s 96% indirect ownership interest in HealthPrime International, LLC (“HealthPrime” or “HPI”), which was sold on January 19, 2024, for $190.0 million in net cash proceeds (collectively, the “Divested Technology-Enabled Services Portfolio Companies”). Also, on November 8, 2023, Erus Holdings LLC (“Erus”), a portfolio company owned 60% by the Partnership, filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection (“Chapter 7”). Erus accounted for substantially all of the assets and operational activities of the Partnership’s Energy segment. The Chapter 7 filing resulted in the appointment of a trustee for the Erus entities who is charged with liquidating their assets and distributing the proceeds to

Table of Contents

creditors in accordance with the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. (Erus, together with the Divested Technology-Enabled Services Portfolio Companies, the “Divested Businesses”).

The Partnership determined that the Divested Businesses qualified as a component under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-30 Financial Statement Presentation, Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-30”) because they represented operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of the Partnership’s operations. Further, the Divested Businesses represent a strategic shift in the Partnership’s business and their disposal will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. The Partnership also determined that the Divested Businesses met the criteria to be classified as held for sale upon entering into the agreements to sell and the filing for Chapter 7 protection. Consequently, the Partnership has classified the assets and liabilities comprising the Divested Businesses as “Assets held for sale, discontinued operations” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2023, and the results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.

See “Note 6. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” for more information.

Prior to the sale of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, we provided a range of strategic, operational and management resources to our subsidiaries which were engaged in a number of diverse business activities. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly reviewed consolidated financial information, evaluated overall strategic performance, and allocated resources to the Partnership in three distinct segments, the Technology-Enabled Services segment, the Energy segment and the Corporate and Other segment. After the divestiture of substantially all of our assets, we are now reporting our business operation solely as one segment, “Corporate and Other”.

The Corporate and Other segment primarily consisted of other operating segments that were not reportable under the quantitative thresholds in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), or were the selling, general and administrative expenses of the Partnership. After the divestitures in prior years, see “Note 5. Acquisitions and Dispositions” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules”, the Partnership does not have a material holding in any portfolio companies or equity investments. These immaterial holdings the Partnership currently owns are now accounted for at estimated net realizable value pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation (see below) of the Receivership Estate (the “Receivership Estate”).

Plan of Liquidation and the Receivership

Prior to the Receivership taking effect, concurrent with reaching an agreement in principle to sell all of the Partnership’s membership interests in HPI, Highline, on behalf of GPB, commenced the plan to liquidate the Partnership’s remaining net assets and wind up the Partnership (“Plan of Liquidation”). Highline’s management reached its decision to commence the Plan of Liquidation because of, among other things, the advanced stage of the Partnership’s divestiture of its interest in HPI, which closed on January 19, 2024, and that no further plans to deploy capital in other investments were contemplated. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, liquidation of the Partnership was thereby determined to be imminent, resulting in the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting as of December 31, 2023.

The then-Highline Board of Directors (the “Board”) formally approved the commencement of the Plan of Liquidation at a Board meeting held on December 29, 2023. The Board concluded that it was appropriate to adopt liquidation accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes, using a “convenience date” of December 31, 2023.

On December 3, 2024, the Receivership took effect, and since that date through the date of this Annual Report, the Partnership has been operating under the direction of the Receiver. In accordance with the Receivership Order, on January 17, 2025, the Receiver filed with the EDNY Court a proposed plan to distribute available Receivership assets to investors and creditors of the Receivership Entities, including the Partnership.

and the amount, if any, that is ultimately distributed to our Limited Partners. As of the date of this filing, the Partnership continues to believe that December 31, 2026 is the best estimate for the expected liquidation completion date.

SEC Action, Monitorship, Receivership and Related Matters

Federal Matters

On February 4, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed a contested civil enforcement action (the “SEC Action”) against GPB, Ascendant Capital, LLC (“Ascendant”), Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC (“AAS”), David Gentile, Jeffry Schneider and Jeffrey Lash in the EDNY Court. No GPB-managed partnership is a named defendant in the SEC Action. The SEC Action alleged several violations of the federal securities laws, including securities fraud. The SEC was seeking disgorgement and civil monetary penalties, among other remedies.

Also, on February 4, 2021, the U. S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (the “USAO”) brought a criminal indictment against Mr. Gentile, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Lash (the “Criminal Case”). The indictment in the Criminal Case alleges conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and securities fraud against all three individuals. Mr. Gentile and Mr. Lash were also charged with two counts of wire fraud. Promptly following his indictment, Mr. Gentile resigned from all management and board positions with GPB and Highline, the GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, and subsidiaries of the Partnership. On June 6, 2023, Mr. Lash pled guilty to one count of wire fraud in the Criminal Case pursuant to a plea agreement. On June 10, 2024, the trial in the Criminal Case commenced against Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider. The jury in the Criminal Case returned a guilty verdict on all counts against Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider on August 1, 2024. Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider’s sentencing is scheduled for April 4, 2025. Mr. Lash’s sentencing is scheduled for May 8, 2025.

Appointment of Monitor

On February 11, 2021, the EDNY Court in the SEC Action appointed Joseph T. Gardemal III as an independent monitor over GPB (the “Monitor”) until further order of the EDNY Court (the “Monitor Order”). The EDNY Court appointed the Monitor in response to a request from the SEC, which asserted that the Monitor was necessary to protect investors in light of the alleged misconduct of GPB Capital’s former Chief Executive Officer, David Gentile. In its February 4, 2021 complaint (“the Complaint”) in the SEC Action, the SEC alleged that Mr. Gentile, as the owner and then-Chief Executive Officer of GPB Capital, along with Jeffry Schneider, the owner of Ascendant, GPB’s placement agent, lied to investors about the source of money used to make 8% annualized distribution payments to investors. According to the SEC, Mr. Gentile and others allegedly told investors that the distribution payments were paid exclusively with monies generated by GPB portfolio companies, but as alleged, GPB actually used investor money to pay portions of the annualized 8% distributions. The Complaint further contains allegations that Mr. Gentile and others manipulated financial statements of certain limited partnership funds that GPB manages to perpetuate the deception by giving the false appearance that the funds’ income was closer to generating sufficient income to cover the distribution payments than it actually was. Moreover, the Complaint alleges that Mr. Gentile engaged in undisclosed self-dealing, including by omitting from investor communications certain conflicts of interest and fees and other compensation that he received, totaling approximately $8.0 million.

In support of the Monitor Order, the SEC contended that the Monitor would provide assurances to investors, GPB’s counterparties, and the public that an unbiased and qualified person, who was not beholden to Mr. Gentile, was vetting any significant transactions and decisions, and looking out for the interests of investors. Accordingly, pursuant to the Monitor Order, GPB was required to (i) grant the Monitor access to all non-privileged books, records and account statements for the GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, as well as their portfolio companies; and (ii) cooperate fully with requests by the Monitor reasonably calculated to fulfill the Monitor’s duties.

The Monitor Order provided that the Monitor would remain in place until terminated by order of the EDNY Court, and granted the Monitor the authority to approve or disapprove proposed material corporate transactions by GPB, the Partnership and its subsidiaries, extensions of credit by them outside the ordinary course of business, decisions to make distributions to the Limited Partners of the Partnership, or any decision to file any bankruptcy or receiver petition for any of them, among other actions. On April 14, 2021, the EDNY Court entered an amendment to the Monitor Order (the “Amended Monitor Order”), which provided that, in addition to the SEC and GPB, certain State regulators would receive access to the periodic reports filed by the Monitor pursuant to the Amended Monitor Order.

Table of Contents

On May 31, 2022, Mr. Gentile filed a motion in the SEC Action to modify the Amended Monitor Order. In his motion, Mr. Gentile sought a court order to, among other things, (i) narrow the scope of the Monitor’s responsibilities; and (ii) direct the Monitor to ensure that GPB does not sell or otherwise dispose of assets or portfolio companies that the Partnership owns before the completion of a “strategic assessment” to be conducted by three managers Mr. Gentile purported to have appointed to GPB on May 27, 2022. On that same day, May 31, 2022, the Monitor notified Mr. Gentile and GPB that Mr. Gentile’s purported appointment of three new managers to GPB without Monitor approval was in violation of the Amended Monitor Order. Mr. Gentile and GPB were, at that time, given ten (10) business days to cure the violation of the Amended Monitor Order. The cure period expired without any steps having been taken to comply with the Monitor’s notification of violation of the Amended Monitor Order.

On June 13, 2022, the SEC filed by order to show cause in the SEC Action an application and order to (i) convert the existing Monitorship over GPB and the GPB-managed funds to a Receivership, and appoint the Monitor, Joseph T. Gardemal III, as Receiver; and (ii) impose a litigation injunction on cases filed against GPB and the GPB-managed funds (the “Receivership Application”). The Receivership Application and a Proposed Order Appointing Receiver and Imposing Litigation Injunction (the “Proposed Order”) were filed with the EDNY Court with the consent of GPB’s management.

On December 7, 2023, the EDNY Court issued the Trial Court Receivership Order. On December 12, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider filed notice of appeal with the EDNY Court of the Trial Court Receivership Order, along with an Application for Order to Show Cause to the EDNY Court to stay the Trial Court Receivership Order pending resolution of Mr. Gentile’s and Mr. Schneider’s appeal to the Second Circuit. On December 14, 2023, the EDNY Court denied the Order to Show Cause, but exercised its discretion to grant a temporary stay of the Trial Court Receivership Order to allow Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider to seek a stay pending appeal of the Trial Court Receivership Order from the Second Circuit. On December 21, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider timely filed their motion for a stay pending appeal with the Second Circuit.

Appointment of Receiver

On December 3, 2024, the Second Circuit affirmed the EDNY Court’s Trial Court Receivership Order and lifted the stay, and the Receivership took effect. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the EDNY Court has taken exclusive jurisdiction and possession of all assets of the Receivership Entities, and the EDNY Court has appointed Mr. Gardemal to serve as the Receiver for the Receivership Entities.

Under the Receivership Order, the Receiver assumed all powers, authorities, rights, and privileges previously possessed by the Receivership Entities and their officers, directors, managers, managing members, and general and limited partners. Since the issuance of the Receivership Order, through the date of this Annual Report, the Partnership has been operating under the direction of the Receiver. The Receiver serves as the board of directors of the Partnership, as discussed in “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” below.

In accordance with the Receivership Order, on January 17, 2025, the Receiver filed with the EDNY Court a proposed plan to distribute available Receivership assets to investors and creditors of the Receivership Entities, including the Partnership. The proposed plan of distribution is currently pending before the EDNY Court.

State Matters

On May 27, 2020, the Massachusetts Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth (“Massachusetts”) filed an Administrative Complaint against GPB for alleged violations of the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act. No GPB-managed fund is a named defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the offering documents for several GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, included material misstatements or omissions. Massachusetts is seeking both monetary and administrative relief, including disgorgement and rescission to Massachusetts residents who purchased interest in the GPB-managed funds. This matter is currently stayed, pending resolution of the Criminal Case.

On February 4, 2021, the seven State securities regulators (from Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina, collectively the “States”) each filed suit against GPB. No GPB-managed fund is a named defendant in any of the suits. Several of the suits also named Ascendant, AAS, Mr. Gentile, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Lash as defendants. The States’ lawsuits allege, among other things, that the offering documents for several GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, included material misstatements and omissions. The States are seeking both monetary and administrative relief, including disgorgement and rescission.

Table of Contents

The cases brought by the States were stayed pending the conclusion of the Criminal Case. The State of New Jersey voluntarily dismissed its case, without prejudice to re-file it following the conclusion of the Criminal Case.

Corporate Governance of the Partnership Prior to the Appointment of the Receiver

Highline

In January 2020, Highline was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of GPB, to provide management and operational support services to the GPB-managed partnerships. Highline’s formation followed the completion of an independent special investigation by outside legal counsel as a response to recommendations made by GPB’s predecessor audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) to certain allegations brought against the General Partner as described above and in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings”.

The Audit Committee made recommendations which led to a series of restructuring activities undertaken to accomplish a number of objectives including, but not limited to, the: (i) further enhancement of the corporate management structure, with the addition of professionals knowledgeable in the industry and commensurate with the complexity and demands of the business of the Partnership; (ii) formalization, to the extent possible, of the commitment to share human resources, facilities and operating assets among and between the entities that comprise the General Partner and the Partnership; and (iii) further development of the independent oversight of the corporate governance structure and framework to help enable the Partnership to achieve its goals, control risks and compliance with laws, rules and regulations which govern the management of the Partnership. To that end, an initial five-member Board was appointed; the Board was first reduced to three members and, later, to two (all of whom were “independent”, as that term is used in the New York Stock Exchange-listed company manual). To address its oversight and governance, the Board previously established three committees, each consisting entirely of the independent members, an Audit Committee, a Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, as more fully described below, responsible for overseeing GPB’s management related to the Partnership’s affairs, establishing additional layers of responsibility within the Partnership’s governance structure and enhancing internal controls. As of this filing, the Board is defunct. The Receiver serves as the board of directors of the Partnership. For details, see “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance”.

Pursuant to a Management Service Agreement with GPB (“MSA”), dated January 1, 2020, on GPB’s behalf and now under Receivership supervision and direction, Highline manages all day-to-day functions of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including management of all underlying assets, human capital, accounting and financial reporting, and operations. Thus, Highline provides independent oversight and review of most aspects of our operations.

A May 2020 amendment to the MSA set forth that the MSA would be in effect for an initial three-year term, effective from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023. The MSA was subsequently amended in August 2021, through which the initial term of the MSA was extended to a five-year term, through December 31, 2024, and automatically renews annually thereafter.

Under the MSA, Highline agreed to provide the following services to the Partnership (but not to the remaining businesses owned by the Partnership, which, at the time, were managed day-to-day by their own management teams):

●

manage and oversee the day-to-day affairs and operations of the Partnership, including developing corporate strategy and business plans, and managing annual budgets;

●

manage, oversee and facilitate the accounting and payment functions, including necessary cash management services with respect to the operations of the Partnership;

●

manage and oversee the administration, operations, financial accounting and financial reporting for the Partnership, including managing the preparation of financial statements for the Partnership;

●

manage the process for the audits of the financial statements of the Partnership;

●

manage and oversee the process of obtaining third-party valuations of the Partnership in accordance with the LPA and the Class A Limited Partnership Units (“Class A”) and Class A-1 Limited Partnership Units (“Class A-1”) Private Placement Memorandum (the “PPM”) dated July 2018;

●

communicate regularly and provide written reports (no less frequently than monthly) concerning the financial status and financial performance of the Partnership to GPB, including providing regular (no less frequent than monthly) asset management reports and updated financial models for the Partnership;

●

provide periodic market data and information (no less frequent than quarterly) relating to the businesses of the Partnership reasonably requested by GPB for investor marketing and communication purposes;

Table of Contents

●

review and approve significant transactions approved by GPB’s Acquisition Committee (“Acquisition Committee”);

●

review and approve any material change in the investment strategy of the Partnership; and;

●

perform such other services as may be reasonably requested by GPB and which are reasonably acceptable to Highline.

Prior to the Receivership taking effect, GPB, through its Acquisition Committee, controlled all major asset acquisition and divestiture decisions concerning the Partnership, subject to the approval by the Board of any such transaction that constituted a significant transaction as described above. Highline’s former responsibilities set forth above encompassed reporting and monitoring distributions to our Limited Partners.

Between the April 14, 2021 Amended Monitor Order and the time when the Receivership took effect, operational and financial decisions made by Highline regarding the affairs of the Partnership were subject to the same authority of the Monitor as decisions made by GPB. Since the affirmation of the Receivership Order by the Second Circuit, and through the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Partnership has been managed under the direct supervision of the Receiver.

For further discussion of the relationship between GPB and Highline and the corporate governance of the Partnership prior to the appointment of the Receiver, see “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” elsewhere in this Annual Report.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS PRIOR TO THE DIVESTITURE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE PARTNERSHIP’S ASSETS

Prior to the divestiture of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, we operated in three segments: Technology-Enabled Services, Energy and Corporate and Other. After the sale of our assets, we are now reporting our business operations solely as “Corporate and Other”.

The “Corporate and Other” segment primarily consists of other operating segments that were not reportable under the quantitative thresholds, or are selling, general and administrative expenses of the Partnership.

Segment results incorporated the revenues and expenses of consolidated subsidiaries from the date of acquisition.

Prior to the divestiture of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, our strategy, in the segments in which we chose to participate, was to own and operate, in whole or in part, income producing, middle-market private companies primarily in North America which had a focus on owning and operating portfolio companies on a long-term basis with a goal of maximizing returns for our investors by improving performance of operations, thereby increasing the value of these companies. To accomplish our objectives, we owned controlling interests in operating companies and provided managerial expertise and working capital to develop the operations and enhance the overall value of the business. In other situations, we owned equity interests that enabled us to exercise significant influence but not control over the businesses. Following our strategy, we classified the earnings from our investments in entities where we had the ability to exercise significant influence as a component of operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our focus was on owning and operating our portfolio companies in our Technology-Enabled Services and Energy segments. We also intended to maintain and maximize the value of all of our other investments, which were made for the purpose of generating income from operations on a long-term basis. We considered strategic transactions on an opportunistic basis, such as spinoffs of businesses, the sale of one or more portfolio companies, or the sale of one or more of our business segments.

Table of Contents

TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED SERVICES

Prior to its divestiture, management’s business plan primarily focused on the Technology-Enabled Services segment and the portfolio companies within this strategy. Management believed that the expertise and experience of the investment team in this segment would provide the greatest returns for the Limited Partners. The Partnership intended to continue to work with the current Technology-Enabled Services portfolio companies to improve the efficiency of operations, profitability and continue to produce income for future distributions prior to the Plan of Liquidation.

ENERGY

Prior to its divestiture, we had a controlling ownership position in one company in the retail energy sector, Erus, which comprised our Energy segment. Erus filed for Chapter 7 protection on November 8, 2023. Erus was located in Phoenix, Arizona, and had built a vertically integrated business model, where it provided installation of solar panel systems that Erus purchased from third-party manufacturers. Erus’s customers were residential and small to middle market commercial businesses located primarily in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Erus’s vertically integrated model was designed to lower customer costs and offer consumers solar equipment through scalable, cost-effective and consumer-friendly sales channels. These channels consisted of an online lead generation function, including through third-party lead providers, a tele-sales and field sales team, a direct-to-home sales force, a retail sales team and a project management and installation organization.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

Our “Corporate and Other” segment is comprised of the Partnership’s remaining immaterial holdings of portfolio companies and equity investments.

Business Plan

Since the entry of the Receivership Order, and through the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Partnership has been managed under the direct supervision of the Receiver. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Receiver is responsible for managing and overseeing the Receivership Estate, including the preparation distributions of available assets to the Partnership’s creditors and investors. Under the Receivership Order, the Receiver intends, among his other duties, to conduct an orderly liquidation of the Partnership and its remaining assets in a manner and over a period of time calculated to maximize their value for investors and the Receivership Estate.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 13 full-time employees working at Highline and GPB combined, supporting operations of the Partnership and its affiliates, excluding the Receiver and his staff. None of these employees are represented by a labor union, and management considers its relations with these employees to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Partnership’s proportion of the Receivership Estate and changes in its value, the value of the limited partnership interests (the “Units”) and available distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners, may be adversely affected by a number of factors. The risks, uncertainties, and other factors that the Limited Partners and prospective Limited Partnership Unitholders, if any, should consider include, but are not limited to, the following:

RISKS RELATED TO THE PARTNERSHIP AND RECEIVERSHIP ORDER

We are currently under the control of a court-appointed receiver and may not be able to distribute any available assets from the Receivership Estate to our Limited Partners at the times and in the amounts expected, if at all.

On December 3, 2024, the Second Circuit affirmed the EDNY Court’s Trial Court Receivership Order and lifted the stay, and the Receivership took effect. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Court has taken exclusive jurisdiction and possession of all assets of the Receivership Entities, and the Court has appointed Mr. Gardemal to serve as the Receiver for the Receivership Entities, including the Partnership.

We cannot predict the timing or amount of any distributions to the Limited Partners, as uncertainties exist as to the ultimate amount of our expenses associated with implementing the Receivership Order, including the liquidation and winding down of our business, obligations, liabilities and expenses during the liquidation and winding-up process, and the related timing to complete such transactions. Accordingly, there can be no assurances as to the timing or amount of any distributions to the Limited Partners.

We will continue to incur liabilities and expenses that will reduce the proceeds available, if any, for distribution to the Limited Partners.

Claims, liabilities and expenses will continue to be incurred as we seek to liquidate our remaining assets and wind down operations pursuant to the Receivership Order. These expenses could be material and will reduce the amount of proceeds available, if any, for ultimate distribution to the Limited Partners. If we incur obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims in excess of those we currently anticipate, the amount distributed to the Limited Partners may be lower than we currently estimate.

Our Limited Partners may not receive distributions to fully return their invested capital.

There can be no assurance that the Partnership will pay its operating expenses, liabilities, and obligations during the liquidation and wind-down process, and make distributions to the Limited Partners to fully return their paid capital, or any distributions at all in excess of their paid-in capital.

We and the General Partner are involved in material litigation arising from the operations of the Partnership. Resolving litigation disputes can be costly and time consuming.

Although most of the legal proceedings against us, the General Partner and the Receivership Entities are currently stayed (see “Item 3. Legal Proceedings”), we, the General Partner, our portfolio companies, as well as Ascendant and Axiom Capital Management, Inc. (“Axiom”), affiliated broker-dealers, and current and former officers and employees of the foregoing, are involved in regulatory, litigation, arbitration, and other proceedings and investigations, which expose us to potential significant financial loss. These proceedings and investigations arise, for the most part, from the sale and marketing of the Units, including fees paid in connection therewith, and the operation of the Partnership, including the dissemination of information to Limited Partners regarding the Partnership and Partnership distributions. These claims in these proceedings and investigations variously allege fraud and misrepresentation, misuse of investor funds, breach of fiduciary duty and other causes of action and seek substantial damages, injunctive relief, rescission, disgorgement and other remedies.

In addition, we and the General Partner may be subject to additional claims by creditors, including relating to our current or former portfolio companies. We are also advancing funds to former officers and directors, as well as the General Partner, its principals,

Table of Contents

representatives and affiliates, for costs they incur in connection with their legal defense of such disputes. Resolution of these matters will likely take substantial time, and we cannot predict the results of these matters with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect, including incurring significant legal fees, expenses, costs and damages by the Partnership, and in turn, reduce or completely deplete otherwise available proceeds for distribution to the Limited Partners. Further, if amounts of reserves or escrows that were established for contingent liabilities that could result from the advance of indemnification expenses are insufficient, such liabilities might ultimately be funded by the Limited Partners to the extent that such Limited Partners have received prior cash distributions from us.

If any of the parties to our future sale agreements default thereunder, or if these sales do not otherwise close, any available proceeds for distributions to the Limited Partners may be delayed or reduced.

Under the Receivership Order, we may seek to enter into binding sale agreements for each of our assets, investments and businesses. The consummation of the potential, future sales may be subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. If any of the transactions contemplated by these future sale agreements do not close because of a buyer default, failure of a closing condition or for any other reason, we will need to locate a new buyer for the assets, which we may be unable to do promptly or at prices or on terms that are as favorable as the original agreement. We will also incur additional costs involved in locating a new buyer and negotiating a new sale agreement for these assets. In the event that we incur these additional costs, any available proceeds for distributions to the Limited Partners would be delayed or reduced.

We may be unable to sell our remaining assets and our remaining lines of business at acceptable prices, or at all.

In accordance with the Receivership Order, we presently intend to sell our remaining assets and lines of businesses. We may, however, may not be able to find purchasers for such assets due to market conditions or we may be unable to obtain acceptable value for these remaining assets and lines of business. As a result, we may be forced to attempt to sell our remaining assets and lines of businesses at a time or at a value that is unfavorable to us, which would delay or decrease the potential available proceeds for distributions to the Limited Partners.

If our liquidation costs or unpaid liabilities are greater than we expect, any available proceeds for distributions to the Limited Partners may be delayed or reduced.

Before paying any available proceeds to the Limited Partners, we will need to pay or arrange for the payment of all of costs associated with liquidation and winding down under the Receivership Order, including all costs and all valid claims against us (which claims may be unknown to us at this time), which in turn, may result in reduced or delayed payment of any available proceeds for distributions to the Limited Partners.

Our entity value may be adversely affected by the Receivership Order.

Under Receivership Order, the Receiver, among other duties, is responsible for managing and overseeing the liquidation and winding down of the Partnership, which in turn, may inherently adversely affect the Receivership Estate’s value.

We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.

Although we may in the future seek relief from the SEC from certain reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, which may not be granted, until our liquidation and dissolution is complete, we have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, even if compliance with these reporting requirements is economically burdensome. The expenses we incur in complying with the applicable reporting requirements will reduce any available proceeds for distributions we may pay to the Limited Partners.

The tax treatment of any available proceeds for distributions may vary from one Limited Partner to another. You should consult your own tax advisor instead of relying on the discussions of tax treatment in any of these statements for tax advice.

We have not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the anticipated tax consequences of the liquidation, and we will not seek an opinion of counsel with respect to the anticipated tax consequences of any available proceeds for distributions. Tax considerations applicable to particular Limited Partners may vary with and be contingent upon the Limited Partner’s individual circumstances.

Table of Contents

If we have not accurately assessed the current realizable values and settlement amounts of our assets and liabilities, respectively, we will not be able to realize amounts equal to their statement of net asset carrying values. This may materially affect future distributions to the Limited Partners, if any.

The valuation of our assets and liabilities presented in our financial statements in accordance with liquidation accounting will be tested as we account for actual disposition and winding down transactions. We apply rules required by U.S. GAAP which may or may not result in deriving an accurate approximate realizable value. Risks are inherent in assessing current value when measured against the outcome of future transactions. Those risks include, without limitation to, the accuracy of:

•

our valuation of our existing fixed assets and business units;

•

our evaluation of our ability to settle future obligations to third parties;

•

our assessment of the current state of litigation and potential litigation against us, including anticipated indemnification costs to be incurred; and

•

our assessment of our tax obligations.

Our assessment of these items requires a substantial amount of judgment. This judgment is exercised by our choice of assumptions from which a wide latitude of likely future outcomes are possible. Among these assumptions are:

•

our assumption related to the timing and amount of future business revenue streams, whether from sale of business units, or sale of independent assets;

•

our assumption related to the duration of the retention of our assets and liabilities until disposition;

•

our assumption regarding the timing and transactional costs associated with dispositions;

•

our ability to affect timely and efficient closing of disposition transactions;

•

our assumption regarding the amount of legal costs we will pay during the liquidation process;

•

our assumption regarding the time it will take to complete the liquidation process; and

•

our assumption regarding the estimated interest income accrued from investment securities.

The judgments and the resulting valuations taken therefrom form the basis for our realizable value assessment of carrying values on our financial statements. If we fail to accurately assess realizable values in our financial statement presentation, the amounts realized from transactions may be different from amounts in the financial statement presentation, and these amounts may differ in a material amount. If such material differences are found to exist, the amount available for distribution, if any, to the Limited Partners will be materially affected.

Market volatility due to adverse economic and geopolitical conditions or dislocations in the credit markets, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete our liquidation and winding down and pay distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners.

The implementation of the Receivership Order may be adversely affected by market and economic volatility experienced by the U.S. and global economies. Such adverse economic and geopolitical conditions may be due to, among other issues, rising inflation and interest rates, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, and international economic and other conditions, including pandemics, geopolitical instability, sanctions and other conditions beyond our control. These current conditions may adversely affect the implementation of the Receivership Order and the amount of distributions we may pay to the Limited Partners, if at all. The implementation of the Receivership Order may be further impacted by disruptions in the financial markets and continued economic uncertainty, and this may have a material effect on the ultimate amount and timing of distributions, if any, received by the Limited Partners.

We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber-attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems.

We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems inside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have invested in reasonable commercial security technology to protect our data and business processes against many of these risks, there can be no assurance that

Table of Contents

our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could:

•

disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems;

•

result in misstated financial reports and/or missed reporting deadlines;

•

result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with rules and regulations;

•

result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or which could expose us to damage claims by third-parties for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

•

require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; or

•

subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements.

Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our ability to successfully execute the execution of the Receivership Order and could reduce the amount and timing of distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners.

Breaches in our data security systems or in systems used by our vendor partners, including cyber-attacks or unauthorized data distribution by employees or affiliated vendors, or disruptions to access and connectivity of our information systems could impact our operations or result in the loss or misuse of proprietary information.

Our information technology systems are important for efficiently managing the liquidation and winding down of our operations, as well as overseeing and managing our remaining assets. We rely on information systems to effectively prepare our consolidated financial and operating data. Our facilities and systems, and those of any third-party service providers, could be vulnerable to security breaches, ransomware, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, human errors, acts of vandalism, or other events. The failure of information systems to perform as designed, the failure to maintain and enhance or protect the integrity of these systems or any security breach or event resulting in the misappropriation, loss, or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, whether by us directly or any third-party service providers, could expose us to the risks of litigation and liability, disrupt our liquidation and winding down process, expose us to third-party claims, result in adverse publicity or otherwise adversely affect our financial reporting.

We are subject to privacy, data use and data security regulations, which impact the way we use and handle data. In addition, regulators are proposing and adopting new laws or regulations that could require us to adopt certain cyber security and data handling practices. The changing privacy laws create new individual privacy rights and impose increased obligations on companies handling personal data.

We collect, process, and retain personally identifiable information regarding the Limited Partners and vendors in the normal course of our business. Our internal and third-party systems are subject to risk from hackers or other individuals with malicious intent to gain unauthorized access to our systems. Cyber-attacks are growing in number and sophistication, thus presenting an ongoing threat to systems, whether internal or external, used to operate the business in which we historically operated. Previously, we invested in reasonable commercial security technology to protect our data and business processes against certain of these risks. We also purchase insurance to mitigate the potential financial impact of certain of these risks. Despite the security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems, and those of our third-party service providers, could be vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, human errors, acts of vandalism, or other events. Any security breach or event resulting in the misappropriation, loss, or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, or degradation of services provided by critical business systems, whether by us directly or our third-party service providers, could adversely affect our implementation of the Receivership Order, primarily, the liquidation and winding down process. We could also experience other financial impacts resulting from investigations, litigation, or imposition of penalties or other means.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP

We rely on Highline, GPB and its affiliates to manage our operations, including the winding down thereof.

The Partnership is dependent upon the efforts and experience of Highline, GPB and its affiliates to assist in the management, under the supervision and direction of the Receiver, of the Partnership, including the winding down thereof. Various employees of GPB and Highline provide services to the Partnership, which are in addition to and separate from GPB’s services as General Partner of the Partnership. There can be no assurance that such employees will continue to provide services to GPB or will continue to function on the Partnership’s behalf. The future loss of employees of key employees of GPB or Highline providing services to the Partnership could have an adverse effect on the Partnership.

RISKS RELATED TO THE UNITS

Our corporate transfer book is currently closed and any attempted third-party transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of our Class A and Class A-1 Units will not be recognized, and accordingly, our Class A and Class A-1 Units are illiquid, have no public market, and our Limited Partners’ primary source of liquidity is the implementation of the Receivership Order. As we continue to facilitate a distribution plan under the Receivership Order, any amendments to this policy will be posted by the Receiver.

Outside of certain limited contexts, such as permitted transfers upon death and certain litigation settlements, our corporate transfer book is closed and we prohibit recording transfers of our Class A and Class A-1 Units. Class A and Class A-1 were not transferable, saleable, pledgeable, or assignable on the Partnership’s books. Our Units are not listed on any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system and there is no intention to seek such a listing. The absence of a market for the Units means that there is no opportunity to sell your Units. Units should be viewed solely as long-term, illiquid investments. Accordingly, Limited Partners should be prepared to hold their investments in us for the long-term with the expectation that any returns will be realized only from the implementation of the plan of distribution.

Investments in our Units may have adverse tax consequences.

With limited exceptions designed to meet the needs of U.S. tax exempt investors and certain non-U.S. investors, the Partnership generally expects to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each Limited Partner, in determining its U.S. federal income tax liability, will take into account its allocable share of the Partnership’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credits, without regard to whether it has received distributions from the Partnership. The Partnership anticipates that it may incur income that would be treated as unrelated business taxable income under Sections 512 and 514 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, Unitholders that are tax exempt entities, including qualified retirement plans (stock, bonus, pension, or profit-sharing plans described in IRC§401(a)) and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. Federal, state and local income and other tax consequences that may result from their investment in the Partnership.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

As previously discussed in “Item 1. Business,” the Partnership is managed by GPB, through its affiliation with Highline under supervision and direction of the Receiver. Among the services provided to the Partnership under the MSA is a cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. This program was integrated within the Partnership’s enterprise risk management system as administered and overseen by Highline under supervision and direction of the Receiver and addresses the corporate information technology environment.

The underlying controls of the cyber risk management program that the Partnership currently has in place are based on recognized best practices and standards for cybersecurity and information technology, including the International Organization Standardization (“ISO”) 27001 Information Security Management System Requirements.

Table of Contents

Highline partners with cybersecurity companies and organizations, leveraging third-party technology and expertise, including secure cloud storage solutions, firewalls and monitoring software. Highline engages with these partners and their technology to monitor and maintain the performance and effectiveness of its corporate information environment.

Highline has a dedicated specialist who oversees Highline’s cybersecurity efforts on behalf of all of its clients. This specialist is responsible for assessing and managing Highline’s cyber risk management program, informs senior management regarding the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents and supervises such efforts. The cybersecurity specialist has experience selecting, deploying, and operating cybersecurity technologies, initiatives, and processes around the world, and relies on threat intelligence as well as other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by Highline.

The Receiver currently oversees the Partnership’s cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps taken by management to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity risks. Highline’s cybersecurity specialist briefs the Chief Executive Officer, who presents to the Receiver as necessary on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s cyber risk management program and any potential cybersecurity threats.

The Partnership faces risks from cybersecurity threats that could have an adverse effect on its implementation of the Receivership Order, including liquidation and winding down, as well as its financial reporting. The Partnership has experienced, and may continue to experience cyber incidents in the normal course of its business. However, prior cybersecurity incidents have not been determined to have been material to the Partnership’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to the Partnership and Receivership Order”. Breaches in our data security systems or in systems used by our vendor partners, including cyber-attacks or unauthorized data distribution by employees or affiliated vendors, or disruptions to access and connectivity of our information systems could impact our operations or result in the loss or misuse of customers’ proprietary information” for more information about the cybersecurity risks the Partnership faces.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Partnership is a holding company which was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on April 17, 2015 and commenced operations on June 1, 2015. As further described below, the Partnership has sold substantially all of its assets and is now in receivership.

GPB, a Delaware limited liability company and registered investment adviser, is the Partnership’s General Partner pursuant to the terms of the LPA. Pursuant to the LPA, GPB conducts and manages our business. As further described in “Item 1. Business - SEC Action, Monitorship, Receivership and Related Matters” GPB has entered into a management services agreement with GPB’s wholly owned subsidiary Highline. GPB conducted and managed our business, through Highline, which provides certain management services to assist GPB in fulfilling its duties as the Partnership’s General Partner. However, now that the Partnership is in receivership, GPB and Highline continue to act out their duties under supervision and direction of the Receiver.

Receivership

The Partnership is currently in receivership. As further described in “Item 1. Business - SEC Action, Monitorship, Receivership and Related Matters”, on December 8, 2023, the EDNY Court entered the Trial Court Receivership Order, appointing Joseph T. Gardemal III as the Receiver of the General Partner, the GPB-managed partnerships and the Receivership Entities. Following an appeal of the Trial Court Receivership Order, on December 3, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the Receivership Order and the Receivership took effect.

Table of Contents

Divestiture of Substantially All of the Partnership’s Assets

Commencing in the second half of fiscal 2023, the Partnership entered into agreements to divest of its portfolio companies previously comprising its Technology-Enabled Services segment. Those divested portfolio companies included Experience Care which was sold on August 23, 2023, for $12.7 million in net cash proceeds, Cantata which was sold on October 24, 2023, for $22.3 million in net cash proceeds, and the entirety of the Partnership’s 96% indirect ownership interest in HPI, which was sold on January 19, 2024, for $190.0 million in net cash proceeds. Also, on November 8, 2023, Erus, a portfolio company owned 60% by the Partnership, filed for Chapter 7. Erus accounted for substantially all of the assets and operational activities of the Partnership’s Energy segment. The Chapter 7 filing resulted in the appointment of a trustee for the Erus entities who is charged with liquidating their assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors in accordance with the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The Partnership determined that the Divested Businesses qualified as a component under FASB ASC 205-30 because they represented operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of the Partnership’s operations. Further, the Divested Businesses represent a strategic shift in the Partnership’s business and their disposal will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. The Partnership also determined that the Divested Businesses met the criteria to be classified as held for sale upon entering into the agreements to sell and the filing for Chapter 7 protection. Consequently, the Partnership has classified the assets and liabilities comprising the Divested Businesses as “Assets held for sale, discontinued operations” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.

See “Note 6. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” for more information.

The Corporate and Other segment primarily consisted of other operating segments that were not reportable under the quantitative thresholds in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or were the selling, general and administrative expenses of the Partnership. After the divestitures in prior years, see “Note 5. Acquisitions and Dispositions” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules”, the Partnership does not have a material holding in any portfolio companies or equity investments. These immaterial holdings the Partnership currently owns are now accounted for at estimated net realizable value pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation (see below) of the Receivership Estate.

Plan of Liquidation and the Receivership

Table of Contents

deploy capital in other investments were contemplated. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, liquidation of the Partnership was thereby determined to be imminent, resulting in the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting as of December 31, 2023.

The then-Board formally approved the commencement of the Plan of Liquidation at a Board meeting held on December 29, 2023. The Board concluded that it was appropriate to adopt liquidation accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes, using a “convenience date” of December 31, 2023.

Prior to an approval, if any, by the EDNY Court of the distribution to the Partnership’s investors and creditors, the Partnership cannot predict the timing or amount of any distributions to its Limited Partners. In addition, no assurances can be provided that any expected liquidation and winding down will be completed as set forth in the proposed plan filed by the Receiver with the EDNY Court, and future changes to any such expected date could have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and the amount, if any, that is ultimately distributed to our Limited Partners. As of the date of this filing, the Partnership continues to believe that December 31, 2026 is the best estimate for the expected liquidation completion date.

Following the Implementation of the Plan of Liquidation and Receivership

The Board’s approval to commence the Plan of Liquidation and to dissolve substantially all of the net assets of the Partnership on December 29, 2023, requires our financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting as defined in the FASB ASC 205-30.

The liquidation basis of accounting differs significantly from the going concern basis, as summarized below:

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows are no longer presented.

The liquidation basis of accounting requires a statement of net assets in liquidation, a statement of changes in net assets in liquidation and all disclosures necessary to present relevant information about our expected resources in liquidation. The liquidation basis of accounting may only be applied prospectively from the day liquidation becomes imminent and the initial statement of changes in net assets in liquidation may present only changes in net assets that occurred during the period since that date.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, our assets are measured at their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, which represents the amount of their estimated cash proceeds or other consideration from liquidation, based on current contracts, estimates and other indications of sales value, and includes assets held for sale. In developing these estimates, we utilized the forecasts generated by our management. All estimates by nature involve a large degree of judgement and sensitivity to the underlying assumptions.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we recognize liabilities as they would have been recognized under the going concern basis as adjusted for the timing assumptions related to the liquidation process and they will not be reduced to expected settlement values prior to settlement. Our liabilities are derecognized when we pay the obligation or when we are legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability.

The valuation of our assets and liabilities, as described above, represents estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation may differ from amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements because of the Plan of Liquidation’s inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, these estimates will vary with the length of time necessary to complete the Plan of Liquidation. It is currently anticipated that a majority of the assets we owned on the date the Plan of Liquidation as approved by Highline will be sold by December 31, 2025, with liquidation complete by December 31, 2026, however, no assurances can be provided that this date will be met. This date was determined through management consultation with the Receiver and the Partnership’s external counsel and contemplates such matters as the sale of the remaining investments in Hotel Internet Services, LLC (“HIS”), Quantum Energy Holdings, LLC (“Quantum”) and the note receivable from TDR Riverwalk LLC (an unrelated Florida limited liability company, “Riverwalk”, as well as the timing of the approval of the distribution plan, the timing of Mr. Gentile’s criminal

Results of Operations

In light of the adoption of liquidation basis of accounting as of December 31, 2023, comparisons of the year ended December 31, 2024 to the prior year ended December 31, 2023 are not meaningful, and therefore we no longer discuss the changes in results of our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since the adoption of our Plan of Liquidation, our ability to meet our obligations is contingent upon the disposal of our assets in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. As of December 31, 2024, all significant non-cash assets have been liquidated. We had $10.9 million in cash on hand, cash equivalents, and $495.6 million in investment securities, consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity date, at purchase, beyond three months, as of December 31, 2024. We expect that this cash along with the investment securities will be adequate to meet our obligations, pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial statements. Certain accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments on matters that are inherently uncertain. The following accounting policies involve critical accounting estimates because they are particularly dependent on assumptions made by management. While we have made our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates could have been used in the current period. Changes in the accounting estimates we used are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, which may have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

Our most critical accounting estimates include those related to reserves for potential litigation and our liquidation accounting estimates including: the estimated net sales proceeds of our assets, estimated settlement amounts of our liabilities, and the estimated operating expenses that are projected during dissolution. We also had other key accounting policies under the going concern basis of accounting for revenue, goodwill and intangible assets, acquisitions, valuation of accounts receivable and expense accruals. However, these policies either do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates described above or these estimates were realized through the sale of substantially all of our assets in 2023 and are not currently material items in our financial statements. We review our estimates, judgments and assumptions periodically and reflect the effects of revisions in the period that they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Reserves for potential litigation

We, our General Partner, and our subsidiaries are involved in a number of regulatory, litigation, arbitration and other proceedings or investigations, and many of those matters expose us to potential financial loss. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the reasonably possible loss. We evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, if any, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being a resolution and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership transitioned from a going concern basis of accounting to a liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under the liquidation basis, the remeasurement of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities includes management’s estimates and assumptions of: (i) income to be generated from the remaining assets until the anticipated date of sale; (ii) net proceeds to be received for these assets at the time of sale; (iii) operating expenses to be incurred during the liquidation period; and (iv) amounts required to settle liabilities. The estimated liquidation values for assets and liabilities derived from future operations and asset sales and the settlement of estimated liabilities are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules.” The actual amounts realized could differ materially from the estimated amounts.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Table of Contents

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto required by this item, begin on page F-1 as listed in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” of Part IV of this Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

In connection with the preparation and filing of our prior reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, we determined that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The underlying circumstances that led to this conclusion related in part to the events that led to the U.S. government’s criminal prosecution of Mr. Gentile and the governance changes that were required in response, and these matters contributed to our determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have continued to make this same determination in Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter.

Since this initial determination was made, we have worked to address and remediate these ICFR and disclosure controls weaknesses, and we believe that they have been substantially addressed or eliminated through the sale of substantially all of our operations as of December 31, 2024. However, in view of the Partnership being in a process of liquidation (with no material non-cash assets left in its portfolio), and with the Partnership also now in Receivership, we have determined that it would not be in the best interests of the Partnership and the holders of its Units to spend the resources on the third-party testing and monitoring processes that would be needed for us to finalize and confirm a conclusion that these weaknesses have been remediated and that our ICFR and disclosure controls and procedures are effective. As a result, when we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 (under the supervision and with the participation of the Receiver), we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect material misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As further described directly above under “Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures,” we determined that there were material weaknesses in our ICFR in connection with the preparation and filing of our prior reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

We have worked to address and remediate these ICFR and disclosure controls weaknesses, and we believe that they have been substantially addressed or eliminated through the sale of substantially all of our operations as of December 31, 2024. However, in view of the Partnership being in a process of liquidation (with no material non-cash assets left in its portfolio), and with the Partnership also

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

As previously discussed, pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Partnership is managed by GPB, through its affiliation with Highline, under the supervision and direction of the Receiver. Prior to the appointment of the Receiver, the main governing bodies that managed and made decisions for the Partnership were the Acquisition Committee and Highline, including Highline’s executive officers and its now defunct Board, discussed below. The Acquisition Committee and Highline each performed distinct functions on behalf of the Partnership, as outlined below.

Insider Trading

Outside of certain limited contexts, such as permitted transfers upon death and certain litigation settlements, the Partnership’s corporate transfer book is closed and we prohibit recording transfers of our Partnership units. Our management, employees and their affiliates, as well as the Receiver, each do not own or trade in Partnership units. As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership has not adopted formal insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of the Partnership’s units.

Corporate Governance of the Partnership Prior to the Appointment of the Receiver

Prior to the appointment of the Receiver, GPB conducted and managed our business, with Highline overseeing the day-to-day functions of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including management of all underlying assets, human capital, accounting and financial reporting, and operations. GPB’s main governing body was the Acquisition Committee. GPB, through its Acquisition Committee, controlled all major asset acquisition and divestiture decisions concerning the Partnership, and Highline was responsible for reporting and monitoring distributions to our Limited Partners. Before the Receivership took effect, but following the April 14, 2021 Amended Monitor Order issued by the EDNY Court, Highline’s operational and financial decisions regarding the affairs of the Partnership were subject to Mr. Gardemal’s authority and supervision as the Monitor of the Partnership.

The following overview reflects the corporate governance of the Partnership prior to the appointment of the Receiver:

Acquisition Committee

Prior to the Receivership taking effect, the Acquisition Committee comprised two members appointed by GPB. GPB controlled the size of the Acquisition Committee, and could nominate and remove Acquisition Committee members at its sole discretion. Prior to the Receivership taking effect, the members of the Acquisition Committee were Robert Chmiel and Michael Emanuel. Nico Gutierrez resigned as a member of the Acquisition Committee in June 2024. Pursuant to letter agreements with us: (i) the terms of the Acquisition Committee members were automatically renewed for a term of one year, and provided that either party may terminate the relationship at any time, (ii) the Acquisition Committee members were bound to use their best judgment when making recommendations on acquisitions and divestiture decisions for us, and (iii) and the Acquisition Committee members were required to attend committee meetings.

The Acquisition Committee governing charter set forth the authority and responsibilities of the Acquisition Committee, which included:

•

Understanding our mission and organizational goals and how they underscore and support the objectives of the portfolio companies;

•

Reviewing and advising on proposed acquisitions based on the consistency, viability and fit of those proposed acquisitions with our acquisition and operational criteria; and

•

Voting on acquisitions and divestitures, which required the approval of at least 75% of the Acquisition Committee members in order to proceed with a particular investment decision.

The Acquisition Committee asset acquisition and divestiture decisions concerning significant transactions were subject to required approval by a majority of the independent Directors of the Board. In December 2024, in accordance with the Receivership, the Acquisition Committee was disbanded.

The Acquisition Committee members were not independent and were affiliated with either GPB or Highline. The members were not separately compensated for their service on the Acquisition Committee. The below chart reflects the Acquisition Committee make up and their tenure on the committee:

Name	Position	Tenure
Robert Chmiel	Committee Chair Person	March 2021 - December 2024
Michael Emanuel	Committee Member	December 2021- December 2024
Nico Gutierrez	Committee Member	December 2021- June 2024

Highline Management Services Agreement

Pursuant to the MSA, dated January 1, 2020, on GPB’s behalf and now under Receivership supervision and direction, Highline manages all day-to-day functions of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including management of all underlying assets, human capital, accounting and financial reporting, and operations. Thus, Highline provides independent oversight and review of most aspects of our operations.

Table of Contents

Under the MSA, Highline agreed to provide the following services to the Partnership (but not to the remaining businesses owned by the Partnership, which are managed day-to-day by their own management teams):

•

manage and oversee the day-to-day affairs and operations of the Partnership, including developing corporate strategy and business plans, and managing annual budgets;

•

manage, oversee and facilitate the accounting and payment functions, including necessary cash management services with respect to the operations of the Partnership;

•

manage and oversee the administration, operations, financial accounting and financial reporting for the Partnership, including managing the preparation of financial statements for the Partnership;

•

manage the process for the audits of the financial statements of the Partnership;

•

manage and oversee the process of obtaining third-party valuations of the Partnership in accordance with the LPA and the Class A and Class A-1 PPM dated July 2018;

•

review and approve significant transactions approved by the Acquisition Committee;

•

review and approve any material change in the investment strategy of the Partnership; and;

•

perform such other services as may be reasonably requested by GPB and which are reasonably acceptable to Highline.

As compensation for the services to be rendered by Highline, the Partnership paid operation service provider fees (“OSP fees”), to Highline at an annual amount agreed to by GPB and Highline, subject to the Board’s approval, following Highline’s delivery of the annual written budget to GPB. In 2024 and 2023, OSP fees paid to Highline amounted to $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. After the OSP fee payment in January 2024, management has suspended the payment of all OSP fees from the Partnership until further notice.

Highline Board of Directors

Prior to the Receivership taking effect, the Board oversaw the business and affairs of Highline. Among other things, the Board established Highline’s overall corporate policies and reviewed and oversaw the performance of Highline’s senior management in (i) executing Highline’s business strategy, (ii) managing the day-to-day operations of Highline, and (iii) managing the LPs and affiliates, including the Partnership, in accordance with the MSA. The Board also acted as an advisor to Highline’s senior management team. The Board’s mission was to further the long-term interests of the Receivership Entities. The Board was kept informed of Highline’s businesses through discussions with Highline’s management, primarily at meetings of the Board and its committees, and through reports and analyses presented to the Board by Highline’s senior management. The Board also reviewed and approved significant transactions approved by the Acquisition Committee and any material change in investment strategy of the Partnership or any of the LPs.

Highline’s Board is currently defunct, as previously disclosed. Joseph LaPorta resigned as a director in January 2024, followed by the resignations of Thomas Lemke in May 2024, and Walter Bishop and Jane Kanter in December 2024. The decision of Messrs. LaPorta, Lemke and Bishop, and Ms. Kanter, to resign was not the result of any disagreement relating to the Partnership’s operations, policies and practices. Upon his appointment, the Receiver assumed the effective function of the board of directors of the Partnership.

Appointment of Mr. Gardemal as Monitor and Receiver

On February 11, 2021, the EDNY Court appointed Joseph T. Gardemal III as an independent Monitor over GPB. Pursuant to the EDNY Court’s original order, GBP was required to (i) grant Mr. Gardemal access to all non-privileged books, records and account statements for the GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, as well as their portfolio companies, and (ii) cooperate fully with requests by Mr. Gardemal reasonably calculated to fulfill Mr. Gardemal’s duties. The order also granted Mr. Gardemal the authority to approve or disapprove proposed material corporate transactions by GPB, the Partnership or its subsidiaries, extensions of credit by them outside the ordinary course of business, decisions to resume distributions to the Limited Partners of the Partnership, or any decision to file any bankruptcy or receivership petition for any of them, among other actions.

Mr. Gardemal was required to submit a report to the court within 60 days of his appointment recommending either continuation of the Monitorship, conversion to a receivership, and/or filing of bankruptcy petitions for one or more of the various entities. The Monitor submitted this report on April 12, 2021, and recommended continuation of the Monitorship.

On April 14, 2021, the EDNY Court entered the Amended Monitor Order, which provides that, in addition to the SEC and GPB, certain State regulators will receive access to the periodic reports filed by Mr. Gardemal pursuant to the Amended Monitor Order.

On May 31, 2022, Mr. Gentile filed a motion in the SEC Action to modify the Amended Monitor Order. In that motion, Mr. Gentile sought a court order to, among other things, (i) narrow the scope of Mr. Gardemal’s responsibilities; and (ii) direct the monitor to ensure that GPB did not sell or otherwise dispose of assets or portfolio companies that the Partnership owns before the completion of a “strategic assessment” to be conducted by three managers Mr. Gentile purported to appointed to GPB on May 27, 2022. On that same day, May 31, 2022, Mr. Gardemal notified Mr. Gentile and GPB that Mr. Gentile’s purported appointment of three new managers to GPB without Mr. Gardemal’s approval was in violation of the Amended Monitor Order. Mr. Gentile and GPB were, at that time, given ten (10) business days to cure the violation of the Amended Monitor Order. The cure period has expired without any steps having been taken to comply with the Monitor’s notification of violation of the Amended Monitor Order.

On June 13, 2022, the SEC filed by order to show cause in the SEC Action an application and order to (i) convert the existing monitorship over GPB and the GPB-managed funds to a receivership, and appoint Joseph T. Gardemal III, as receiver; and (ii) impose a litigation injunction on cases filed against GPB and the GPB-managed funds. The Receivership Application and the Proposed Order Appointing Receiver and Imposing Litigation Injunction were filed with the EDNY Court with the consent of GPB’s management.

On December 7, 2023, the EDNY Court issued an Order, granting the SEC’s Receivership Application and adopting the Receivership Order. On December 12, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider filed notice of appeal with the EDNY Court of the Receivership Order, along with an Application for Order to Show Cause to the EDNY Court to stay the Receivership Order pending resolution of Mr. Gentile’s and Mr. Schneider’s appeal to the Second Circuit. On December 14, 2023, the EDNY Court denied the Order to Show Cause, but exercised its discretion to grant a temporary stay of the Receivership Order to allow Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider to seek a stay pending appeal of the Receivership Order from the Second Circuit. On December 21, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider timely filed their motion for a stay pending appeal with the Second Circuit.

On December 3, 2024, the Second Circuit affirmed the EDNY Court’s Receivership Order and lifted the stay, and the Receivership took effect. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Court has taken exclusive jurisdiction and possession of all assets of Highline, GPB, and certain other Receivership Entities, and the Court has appointed Mr. Gardemal to serve as Receiver for the Receivership Estate of Highline, GPB, and the other Receivership Entities.

Under the Receivership Order, the Receiver has all powers, authorities, rights, and privileges heretofore possessed by Highline, GPB, and the other Receivership Entities, and by any officers, directors, managers, managing members, and general and limited partners of Highline, GPB, and the other Receivership Entities. In connection with the implementation of the Receivership Order, the members of the board of directors of Highline ceased to serve as directors. Since the issuance of the Receivership Order by the Court, through the date of this Annual Report, the Partnership has been operating under the direction of the Receiver.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Overview

The Partnership does not have “Executive Compensation.” As previously discussed in “Item 1. Business” above, the Partnership is managed by GPB through its affiliation with Highline under the supervision and direction of the Receiver. The current governing body that ultimately manages and make decisions for the Partnership is now the Receiver.

We have set forth below the compensation of all persons who served as a principal executive officer or principal financial officer of GPB and Highline, and the other applicable executive officers of GPB and Highline, during the year ended December 31, 2024. For certain officers, a portion of the compensation was paid by GPB and the remainder was paid by Highline and the applicable tables reflect the respective amounts paid by each of them.

Also, we have set forth below the compensation paid to the members of the Board during the year ended December 31, 2024.

GPB Executive Compensation

The cash compensation with respect to 2024 that was payable by GPB to each of GPB’s executive officers who were serving as of December 31, 2024 in respect of their services to GPB is set forth in the GPB 2024 Summary Compensation Table below. The amount of the payments for each of those executive officers was approved by the Mr. Gardemal as then-Monitor. The executive officers did not receive any equity awards or other non-cash compensation from GPB in 2024, and they participated in employee benefit plans and retirement plans that are sponsored and maintained by Highline.

Employment Agreements with Robert Chmiel and Michael Emanuel

On November 15, 2023, GPB and Highline entered into the third amended employment agreements with each of Robert Chmiel and Michael Emanuel, pursuant to which Mr. Chmiel serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of GPB and Chief Executive Officer of Highline, and Mr. Emanuel serves as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer of GPB and General Counsel of Highline.

Each agreement provides that the executive will receive annualized base salary compensation of $1,000,000, of which $750,000 is payable in equal semi-monthly installments throughout the year and the remaining $250,000 is payable in a lump sum each year, occurring on or about February 15 of each year thereafter, provided each are employed as of December 31 of that year.

In addition, each agreement provides for a stay bonus (the “Stay Bonus”) payment equal to $300,000 each, which vested on February 15, 2024. Further, to the extent that each executive continues to be employed by GPB or Highline on each of February 15, 2025, February 15, 2026 and February 15, 2027, each shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to $333,333 (each, a “New Stay Bonus”) to be paid no later than February 22 of such calendar year. If the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or the executive terminates for Good Reason, in each case prior to the payment of the final such payment, the executive will receive a pro-rata payment in respect of the amount payable on the next applicable payment date based on the duration of the executive’s employment from the prior February 15 through the date of termination. Following the payment of the Stay Bonus in February 2024, each executive became eligible to participate in Highline’s key employee retention program (“KERP”) if, and to the extent, such a KERP is adopted by GPB and Highline for 2024 and subsequent years. The amount, if any, of such retention payment under the KERP for 2024 and subsequent years, if applicable, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (and now, the Receiver). The right to any payments from the KERP shall be determined solely based on the terms of the KERP as adopted by GPB and Highline and approved by the former Compensation Committee of the Board and the Receiver.

Each agreement provides that if the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or the executive terminates for Good Reason, or the executive terminates due to death or Disability (as defined in the agreement), the executive will receive a payment of COBRA costs for up to 18 months following the date of termination. These severance payment amounts were funded into an escrow account in accordance with the terms of the agreements.

The agreements provide for various restrictive covenants, including with respect to confidential information and assignment of inventions, restrictions on soliciting clients and customers for one year following termination and non-disparagement.

Table of Contents

For purposes of the agreements, Good Reason means, in summary, (i) a material adverse change in title or duties, (ii) a non-appealable legal or regulatory finding of a material breach of the agreement by GPB or Highline, (iii) a relocation of executive’s principal office location outside of Connecticut, New York or Florida or a prohibition on working from home, (iv) certain new legal or regulatory actions by or against GPB or Highline, the factual basis for which arises after April 30, 2021, and (v) certain felony actions relating to GPB or its members following April 30, 2021.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

FEES AND EXPENSES

The Partnership incurred the following related party fees and expenses:

Managerial Assistance Fee

Per the LPA and PPM, GPB, as General Partner, is entitled to receive an annualized managerial assistance fee (the “Managerial Assistance Fee”) for providing managerial assistance services to the Partnership and its portfolio companies and equity method investees. Those services include conducting the day-to-day operations of the Partnership inclusive of the identification, management and disposition of underlying portfolio companies and other duties assumed and stated under the LPA. The Managerial Assistance Fee does not include expenses related to In-House Services and Operations Support Services (defined below under “Partnership Expenses”) provided to the Partnership or its portfolio companies and equity method investees. Such expenses are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Managerial Assistance Fee. The Managerial Assistance Fee is payable by the Partnership quarterly, in advance, at 2.0% per annum for Class A and B Units, and 1.75% per annum for Class A‑1 and B‑1 Units calculated on each Limited Partner’s Gross Capital Contributions. GPB, under supervision and direction of the Receiver, in its sole discretion, may defer, reduce or waive all or a portion of the Managerial Assistance Fee with respect to one or more Limited Partners for any period of time (and intends to waive the Managerial Assistance Fee with respect to GPB H2 SLP, LLC, as defined below, and its affiliates that invest in the Partnership).

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Partnership paid $4.9 million, in Managerial Assistance Fees which reduced the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Partnership decreased the Management Assistance Fees expected to be paid during the liquidation term resulting in a decrease in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation of $2.8 million.

Managerial Assistance Fees charged to “Managerial assistance fee, related party” and included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $5.4 million. The Partnership had no payables to GPB for these expenses as of December 31, 2023.

Partnership Expenses

to the Partnership or the investee entities. “Operations Support Services” include, but are not limited to, operational support and consulting services and similar services to, or in connection with, the identification, acquisition, holding and improvement of the investee entities. In addition, GPB, on occasion, pays Partnership expenses on the Partnerships’ behalf when operationally feasible and obtains reimbursement. Upon request from GPB, the Partnership reimburses GPB in full for all of the expenses paid on its behalf. The Partnership expenses paid for by the Partnership to GPB are passed along to vendors that are unrelated parties which are included in “Note 3. Liability for Estimated Costs in Excess of Estimated Receipts During Liquidation” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” for more information.

Partnership expenses paid for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $30.2 million, primarily consisting of legal indemnification costs, which reduced the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation by a corresponding amount.

Partnership expenses included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $18.8 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Erus paid $0.3 million to Reimagine Roofing, Barrier Insulation and Brooks Enterprises, companies affiliated with one of the Erus’ senior executives. These fees are included in cost of services in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such transactions occurred during 2024.

Erus occasionally sells customer accounts to an entity controlled by a non-controlling interest member of Erus, who is a member of the subsidiary’s management. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the amount sold was $0.5 million, which is included in product revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such transactions occurred during 2024.

HPI, a subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into sales transactions with a company controlled by a director of the subsidiary. Revenues related to this relationship was $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. These revenues were included in service revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounts receivable was $0.5 million, as of December 31, 2023 and included in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation. No such transactions occurred during 2024.

As compensation for the services to be rendered by Highline, the Partnership pays OSP fees to Highline for an annual amount agreed to by GPB and Highline, subject to the Board’s approval, following Highline’s delivery of the annual written budget to GPB detailing the fees, costs and expenses that will be incurred by Highline in providing its Services. OSP fees paid for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $0.4 million which reduced the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation by a corresponding amount. After the OSP fees payment in January 2024, management has suspended the payment of all OSP fees from the Partnership until further notice. The Partnership recorded OSP fees as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023.

On July 18, 2022, HPI Holdings, LLC (“HPI Holding”) entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Micro Development Services, Inc. (“MDS”) for cash consideration of $13.5 million net of $0.5 million to be paid to a non-controlling shareholder. Transaction costs were $0.3 million. At the consummation of the transaction, the assets and liabilities of MDS were recorded on HPI’s books at their respective carrying values. No gain or loss was recorded in connection with the transaction as MDS and HPI Holdings were both under common control by the Partnership prior to and after the consummation of the transaction. MDS was included in the HPI Holdings reporting unit. The Partnership and non-controlling shareholder executed a contribution agreement in connection

Table of Contents

with the acquisition, which states that the non-controlling shareholder will receive eight quarterly installments of $63 thousand starting in July 2022. On May 31, 2023, the employment of the non-controlling shareholder was terminated. At that time, an agreement was executed to repurchase all of his membership interest in HPI for $1.5 million, pay an integration bonus amount of $16 thousand, a revenue bonus of $0.1 million and a severance of $50 thousand. The contribution agreement amount and revenue bonus will be paid if the MDS business line exceeds $12.5 million for calendar year 2023. The severance amount was paid over a six month period effective June 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, two payments were made. The MDS business did not meet the 2023 required revenue, so the remaining payable balance of $0.3 million was reversed.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Quantum made profit distributions totaling $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, to the Partnership.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Receiver and Limited Partners of

GPB Holdings II, LP

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation of GPB Holdings II, LP and Subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related consolidated statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for year ended December 31, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in partners’ capital and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated net assets in liquidation of the Partnership as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of changes in its net assets in liquidation for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Accounting

As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the Board of Directors of Highline Management, Inc., approved a plan of liquidation on December 29, 2023, and the Partnership determined that liquidation is imminent. As a result, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting on December 31, 2023, from the going concern basis to a liquidation basis.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ EisnerAmper LLP

We have served as the Partnership’s auditor since 2019.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization, Nature of Business and Recent Events

Organization

GPB Capital Holdings, LLC (“General Partner”, “GPB Capital”, “Capital Holdings” or “GPB”), a Delaware limited liability company and registered investment adviser, is the Partnership’s General Partner pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated April 26, 2018 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “LPA”). Pursuant to the LPA, GPB conducts and manages our business. As further described below under “SEC Action, Monitorship, Receivership and Related Matters” GPB has entered into a management services agreement with GPB’s wholly owned subsidiary Highline Management, Inc. (“Highline”). GPB conducted and managed our business, through Highline, which provides certain management services to assist GPB in fulfilling its duties as the Partnership’s General Partner. However, now that the Partnership is in receivership, GPB and Highline continue to act out their duties under supervision and direction of the Receiver, as defined below.

Receivership

Divestiture of Substantially All of the Partnership’s Assets

Commencing in the second half of fiscal 2023, the Partnership entered into agreements to divest of its portfolio companies previously comprising its Technology-Enabled Services segment. Those divested portfolio companies included Experience Care, LLC, (“Experience Care”) which was sold on August 23, 2023, for $12.7 million in net cash proceeds, Cantata Health, LLC (“Cantata”) which was sold on October 24, 2023, for $22.3 million in net cash proceeds, and the entirety of the Partnership’s 96% indirect ownership interest in HealthPrime International, LLC (“HealthPrime” or “HPI”), which was sold on January 19, 2024, for $190.0 million in net cash proceeds (collectively, the Divested Technology-Enabled Services Portfolio Companies”). Also, on November 8, 2023, Erus Holdings LLC (“Erus”), a portfolio company owned 60% by the Partnership, filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection (“Chapter 7”). Erus accounted for substantially all of the assets and operational activities of the Partnership’s Energy segment. The Chapter 7 filing resulted in the appointment of a trustee for the Erus entities who is charged with liquidating their assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors in accordance with the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. (Erus, together with the Divested Technology-Enabled Services Portfolio Companies, the “Divested Businesses”).

Table of Contents

GPB HOLDINGS II, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Partnership determined that the Divested Businesses qualified as a component under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-30 Financial Statement Presentation, Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-30”) because they represented operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of the Partnership’s operations. Further, the Divested Businesses represent a strategic shift in the Partnership’s business and their disposal will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. The Partnership also determined that the Divested Businesses met the criteria to be classified as held for sale upon entering into the agreements to sell and the filing for Chapter 7 protection. Consequently, the Partnership has classified the assets and liabilities comprising the Divested Businesses as “Assets held for sale, discontinued operations” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.

See “Note 6. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”.

The Corporate and Other segment primarily consisted of other operating segments that were not reportable under the quantitative thresholds in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), or were the selling, general and administrative expenses of the Partnership. After the divestitures in prior years, see “Note 5. Acquisitions and Dispositions”, the Partnership does not have a material holding in any portfolio companies or equity investments. These immaterial holdings the Partnership currently owns are now accounted for at estimated net realizable value pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation (see below) of the Receivership estate (the “Receivership Estate”).

Plan of Liquidation and The Receivership

Prior to the Receivership taking effect, and concurrent with reaching an agreement in principle to sell all of the Partnership’s membership interests in HPI (the “HPI Transaction”), Highline, on behalf of GPB, commenced the plan to liquidate the Partnership’s remaining net assets and wind up the Partnership (“Plan of Liquidation”). Highline management reached its decision to commence the Plan of Liquidation because of, among other things, the advanced stage of the Partnership’s divestiture of its interest in HPI, and that no further plans to deploy capital in other investments were contemplated. In accordance with U.S. GAAP liquidation of the Partnership was thereby determined to be imminent, resulting in adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting as of December 31, 2023.

The then-Highline Board of Directors (the “Board”) formally approved the commencement of the Plan of Liquidation at the Board meeting held on December 29, 2023. The Board concluded that it was appropriate to adopt liquidation accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes, using a “convenience date” of December 31, 2023.

Prior to an approval, if any, by the EDNY Court of the distribution to the Partnership’s investors and creditors, the Partnership cannot predict the timing or amount of any distributions to its limited partners (the “Limited Partners”). In addition, no assurances can be provided that any expected liquidation and winding down will be completed as set forth in the proposed plan filed by the Receiver with the EDNY Court, and future changes to any such expected date could have a material impact in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the amount, if any, that is ultimately distributed to our Limited Partners. As of the date of this filing, the Partnership continues to believe that December 31, 2026 is the best estimate for the expected liquidation completion date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Following the Implementation of the Plan of Liquidation and Receivership

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows are no longer presented. The liquidation basis of accounting requires a statement of net assets in liquidation, a statement of changes in net assets in liquidation and all disclosures necessary to present relevant information about our expected resources in liquidation. The liquidation basis of accounting may only be applied prospectively from the day liquidation becomes imminent and the initial statement of changes in net assets in liquidation may present only changes in net assets that occurred during the period since that date.

The valuation of our assets and liabilities, as described above, represents estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation may differ from amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements because of the Plan of Liquidation’s inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, these estimates will vary with the length of time necessary to complete the Plan of Liquidation. It is currently anticipated that a majority of the assets we owned on the date the Plan of Liquidation, as approved by Highline, will be sold by December 31, 2025, with liquidation complete by December 31, 2026, however, no assurances can be provided that this date will be met. This date was determined through management consultation with the Receiver, the timing of the approval of the distribution plan, the timing of Mr. Gentile’s criminal trial and outcome and the settling of pending litigation as the main components driving the estimate on timing of complete liquidation.

Net assets in liquidation represents the estimated liquidation value to holders of Units upon liquidation. It is not possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which may ultimately be distributed to our Limited Partners and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Prior to Implementation of the Plan of Liquidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements through December 31, 2023, have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

companies or equity investments. These immaterial holdings, the Partnership currently owns, are now accounted for at estimated net realizable value pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation (see below) of the Receivership Estate.

Highline

In January 2020, Highline was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of GPB, to provide management and operational support services to the GPB-managed partnerships. Highline’s formation followed the completion of an independent special investigation by outside legal counsel as a response to recommendations made by GPB’s predecessor Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) to certain allegations brought against the General Partner as described above and in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings”.

The Audit Committee made recommendations which led to a series of restructuring activities undertaken to accomplish a number of objectives including, but not limited to, the: (i) further enhancement of the corporate management structure, with the addition of professionals knowledgeable in the industry and commensurate with the complexity and demands of the business of the Partnership; (ii) formalization, to the extent possible, of the commitment to share human resources, facilities and operating assets among and between the entities that comprise the General Partner and the Partnership; and (iii) further development of the independent oversight of the corporate governance structure and framework to help enable the Partnership to achieve its goals, control risks and compliance with laws, rules and regulations which govern the management of the Partnership. To that end, an initial five-member Board was appointed; the Board was first reduced to three members and, later, to two (all of whom were “independent”, as that term is used in the New York Stock Exchange-listed company manual). To address its oversight and governance, the Board previously established three committees, each consisting entirely of the independent members, an Audit Committee, a Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, responsible for overseeing GPB’s management related to the Partnership’s affairs, establishing additional layers of responsibility within the Partnership’s governance structure and enhancing internal controls. As of this filing, the Board is defunct. The Receiver serves as the board of directors of the Partnership.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-07 as of December 31, 2024, and has prepared this annual report on Form 10-K with the appropriate disclosures.

As a result of the transition to the liquidation basis of accounting in 2023, there are no other new accounting pronouncements that will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Federal Matters

On February 4, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed a contested civil enforcement action (the “SEC Action”) against GPB, Ascendant Capital, LLC (“Ascendant”), Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC (“AAS”), David Gentile, Jeffry Schneider and Jeffrey Lash in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “EDNY Court”). No GPB-managed partnership is a named defendant in the SEC Action. The SEC Action alleged several violations of the federal securities laws, including securities fraud. The SEC was seeking disgorgement and civil monetary penalties, among other remedies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On June 6, 2023, Mr. Lash pled guilty to one count of wire fraud in the Criminal Case pursuant to a plea agreement. On June 10, 2024, the trial in the Criminal Case commenced against Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider.The jury in the Criminal Case returned a guilty verdict on all counts against Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider on August 1, 2024. Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider’s sentencing is scheduled for April 4, 2025. Mr. Lash’s sentencing is scheduled for May 8, 2025.

Appointment of Monitor

On February 11, 2021, the EDNY Court in the SEC Action appointed Joseph T. Gardemal III as the independent monitor over GPB (the “Monitor”) until further order of the EDNY Court (the “Monitor Order”). The EDNY Court appointed the Monitor in response to a request from the SEC, which asserted that the Monitor was necessary to protect investors in light of the alleged misconduct of GPB Capital’s former Chief Executive Officer, David Gentile. In its February 4, 2021 complaint (“the Complaint”) in the SEC Action, the SEC alleged that Mr. Gentile, as the owner and then-Chief Executive Officer of GPB Capital, along with Jeffry Schneider, the owner of Ascendant, GPB’s placement agent, lied to investors about the source of money used to make 8% annualized distribution payments to investors. According to the SEC, Mr. Gentile and others allegedly told investors that the distribution payments were paid exclusively with monies generated by GPB portfolio companies, but as alleged, GPB actually used investor money to pay portions of the annualized 8% distributions. The Complaint further contains allegations that Mr. Gentile and others manipulated financial statements of certain limited partnership funds that GPB manages to perpetuate the deception by giving the false appearance that the funds’ income was closer to generating sufficient income to cover the distribution payments than it actually was. Moreover, the Complaint alleges that Mr. Gentile engaged in undisclosed self-dealing, including by omitting from investor communications certain conflicts of interest and fees and other compensation that he received, totaling approximately $8.0 million.

In support of the Monitor Order, the SEC contended that the Monitor would provide assurances to investors, GPB’s counterparties, and the public that an unbiased and qualified person who was not beholden to Mr. Gentile, was vetting any significant transactions and decisions, and looking out for the interests of investors. Accordingly, pursuant to the Monitor Order, GPB was required to (i) grant the Monitor access to all non-privileged books, records and account statements for the GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, as well as their portfolio companies; and (ii) cooperate fully with requests by the Monitor reasonably calculated to fulfill the Monitor’s duties.

On April 14, 2021, the EDNY Court entered an amendment to the Monitor Order (the “Amended Monitor Order”), which provided that, in addition to the SEC and GPB, certain State regulators would receive access to the periodic reports filed by the Monitor pursuant to the Amended Monitor Order.

On May 31, 2022, Mr. Gentile filed a motion in the SEC Action to modify the Amended Monitor Order pursuant to Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (“Rule 60(b) Motion”). In his Rule 60(b) Motion, Mr. Gentile sought a court order to, among other things, (i) narrow the scope of the Monitor’s responsibilities; and (ii) direct the Monitor to ensure that GPB does not sell or otherwise dispose of assets or portfolio companies that the Partnership owns before the completion of a “strategic assessment” to be conducted by three managers Mr. Gentile purported to have appointed to GPB on May 27, 2022. On that same day, May 31, 2022, the Monitor notified Mr. Gentile and GPB that Mr. Gentile’s purported appointment of three new managers to GPB without Monitor approval was, amongst other things, in violation of the Amended Monitor Order. Mr. Gentile and GPB were, at that time, given ten (10) business days to cure the violation of the Amended Monitor Order. The cure period expired without any steps having been taken to comply with the Monitor’s notification of violation of the Amended Monitor Order.

On June 13, 2022, the SEC filed by order to show cause in the SEC Action an application and order to (i) convert the existing Monitorship over GPB and the GPB-managed funds to a Receivership, and appoint the Monitor, Joseph T. Gardemal III, as Receiver; and (ii) impose a litigation injunction on cases filed against GPB and the GPB-managed funds (the “Receivership Application”). The Receivership Application and the Proposed Order Appointing Receiver and Imposing Litigation Injunction (the “Proposed Order”) were filed with the EDNY Court with the consent of GPB’s management.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On December 7, 2023, the EDNY Court issued the Trial Court Receivership Order. On December 12, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider filed notice of appeal with the EDNY Court of the Trial Court Receivership Order, along with an Application for Order to Show Cause to the EDNY Court to stay the Trial Court Receivership Order pending resolution of Mr. Gentile’s and Mr. Schneider’s appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”). On December 14, 2023, the EDNY Court denied the Order to Show Cause, but exercised its discretion to grant a temporary stay of the Receivership Order to allow Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider to seek a stay pending appeal of the Trial Court Receivership Order from the Second Circuit. On December 21, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider timely filed their motion for a stay pending appeal with the Second Circuit.

Appointment of the Receiver

On December 3, 2024, the Second Circuit affirmed the EDNY Court’s Trial Court Receivership Order and lifted the stay, and the Receivership took effect. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Court has taken exclusive jurisdiction and possession of all assets of the Receivership Entities, and the Court has appointed Mr. Gardemal to serve as the Receiver for the Receivership Entities.

State Matters

On May 27, 2020, the Massachusetts Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth (“Massachusetts”) filed an Administrative Complaint against GPB for alleged violations of the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act. No GPB-managed fund is a named defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the offering documents for several GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, included material misstatements or omissions. Massachusetts seeks both monetary and administrative relief, including disgorgement and rescission to Massachusetts residents who purchased interest in the GPB-managed funds. This matter is stayed, pending resolution of the Criminal Case.

On February 4, 2021,the seven State securities regulators (from Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina, collectively the “States”) each filed suit against GPB. No GPB-managed fund is a named defendant in any of the suits. Several of the suits also named Ascendant, AAS, Mr. Gentile, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Lash as defendants. The States’ lawsuits allege, among other things, that the offering documents for several GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, included material misstatements and omissions. The States seeks both monetary and administrative relief, including disgorgement and rescission. The cases brought by the States were stayed pending the conclusion of the Criminal Case. The State of New Jersey voluntarily dismissed its case, without prejudice to re-file it following the conclusion of the Criminal Case.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements through December 31, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As Discussed in “Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business, and Recent Events”, on December 31, 2023 the Partnership divested of substantially all of its assets and transitioned to a liquidation basis of accounting.

As a result of the divestiture, the Partnership has classified the assets and liabilities comprising the Divested Businesses as “Assets held for sale, discontinued operations” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.

F-13

Table of Contents

GPB HOLDINGS II, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the remeasurement of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities includes management’s estimates and assumptions of: (i) income to be generated from the remaining assets until the anticipated date of sale; (ii) sales proceeds to be received for these assets at the time of sale; (iii) operating expenses to be incurred during the liquidation period; and (iv) amounts required to settle liabilities.

Because of the significant changes to the presentation of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows brought about by the divestiture of substantially all the Partnerships’ assets and the transition to the liquidation basis of accounting, the accompanying footnote disclosures have been included to reflect the matters of continuing significance to the users of these financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Equity Method

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our strategy in the segments in which we choose to participate was to invest in and operate income producing, middle market private companies primarily in North America. We focused on owning and operating portfolio companies on a long-term basis with a goal of maximizing returns for our investors by improving operational performance, and in turn, increasing the value. We strived to create long-term value and generate cash flow from operations for our Limited Partners by building industry-leading companies. To accomplish our objectives, we acquired controlling interests in operating companies and provided managerial expertise and investment capital to develop the operations and enhance the overall value of the business. In other situations, we acquired equity that afforded us the ability to exercise significant influence over the business without a controlling stake. For this reason, we previously classified the earnings from our investments in entities where we had the ability to exercise significant influence as a component of operating income on the going concern basis of accounting in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Consolidation Method

The Partnership had a controlling interest when it owned a majority of the voting interest in an entity or when it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is an entity in which the equity investment holders have not contributed sufficient capital to finance its activities or the equity investment holders do not have defined rights and obligations normally associated with an equity investment. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. When determining which enterprise is the primary beneficiary, management considers (i) the entity’s purpose and design, (ii) which variable interest holder has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (iii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. When certain events occur, the Partnership reconsiders whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. VIE’s are consolidated by the primary beneficiary.

Non-Controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated entities that are not owned by the Partnership. When the Partnership acquired a controlling interest in a consolidated entity, the non-controlling interest was initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted for any capital transactions between the third-party investors and the consolidated entity that occur during the period and by net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests.

Equity Method Investments

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, equity method investments are recorded at the net realizable value of the investments and are included in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation.

Under the going concern method of accounting, the Partnership accounted for its investment in companies where it did not exercise control and whose results are not consolidated, over which it is able to exercise significant influence under the equity method. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when our ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee is within quantitative guidance, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors and the impact of commercial arrangements, are also

F-14

Table of Contents

GPB HOLDINGS II, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Partnership’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income or losses and any dividend distributions.

We record contributions and distributions as an increase or decrease in the carrying value of the investment, respectively. When the Partnership’s interest in an equity method investment company is reduced to zero, the Partnership records no further losses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations unless the Partnership has an outstanding guarantee obligation or has committed additional funding to such equity method investment company. When such equity method investment company subsequently reports income, the Partnership will not record its share of such income until it exceeds the amount of the Partnership’s share of losses not previously recognized.

The Partnership also evaluated the equity method investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an “other than temporary decline” in value of the investment. Such events include, but are not limited to, sustained operating losses by the investee or long‑term negative changes in the investee’s industry and sales of ownership interests at prices below our carrying value of our investment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the accounting estimates that require management’s most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include: the determination that the liquidation was imminent; the estimated sales proceeds of our assets; estimated settlement amounts of our liabilities, estimated receipts and the estimated operating expenses that are projected during dissolution, and the anticipated liquidation period.

The significant estimates made by management under the going concern basis of accounting in the Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the valuation of goodwill and intangibles, reserves for potential litigation liabilities, depreciable lives, valuation of long-lived assets, and valuation of investments securities and equity method investments.

Business Combinations

Under the going concern basis of accounting, the Partnership accounted for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC “805”). ASC 805 provides guidance for recognition and measurement of identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. In a business combination, the net assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in the acquired businesses are recorded as of the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price (consideration transferred) over the estimated fair values of net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Transaction costs were expensed when incurred. The operating results of the acquired businesses were reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements commencing on the date of the acquisition. The Partnership records the net assets of acquired businesses at fair value, based, in part, upon internal estimates of cash flows and independent appraisals. Changes to the assumptions used to estimate the fair value could impact the recorded amounts of the net assets acquired and the resultant goodwill. Fair values of customer relationships are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows of the customers. Developed technology and tradenames are estimated using the relief from royalty method by estimating the savings attributable to having purchased the asset. Software platforms are valued at replacement cost and non-compete agreements are estimated using the “with and without” method that compares the prospective cash flows with and without the non-compete agreement in place. The fair value of real property is determined using a combination of the cost approach (the comparative unit method) and sales comparison approach (the building residual technique method).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investment Securities

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and cash in bank accounts without restrictions. The Partnership maintains cash balances with financial institutions that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of these institutions and has not experienced any losses on such deposits.

As of December 31, 2024, the standard Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. Any deposit in excess of this insured amount could be lost. As of December 31, 2024, substantially all of the Partnership’s $10.9 million of deposited cash held in banks was in excess of the FDIC coverage limit. The Partnership regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents.

Investment securities include Corporate Stock and U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities on the date of purchase of greater than three months. As of December 31, 2024, $495.3 million was invested in U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities on the date of purchase in excess of three months and is presented as investment securities in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Partnership classifies long-lived assets (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale in accordance with ASU 2014-08, Presentation Of Financial Statements (ASC Topic 205) And Property, Plant, And Equipment (ASC Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations And Disclosures Of Disposals Of Components Of An Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (ii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; (iii) the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset beyond one year; (iv) the asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (v) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

The fair value of a long-lived asset (disposal group) less any costs to sell is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any subsequent changes are reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset (disposal group), as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a long-lived asset (disposal group) meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Partnership reports the assets and liabilities of the disposal group for all periods presented in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation.

The Partnership recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset (disposal group) exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset (disposal group) less cost to sell. If the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss, the adjusted carrying amount of the long-lived asset (disposal group) becomes its carrying amount.

The Partnership classifies long-lived assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discontinued operations when a disposal group represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Partnership’s operations and its financial results. The results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes are reported as a separate component of income. Any gain or loss recognized on the disposal of a discontinued operation is presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, estimated expenses during the liquidation period are included in liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on our Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation.

Under the going concern basis of accounting, the Partnership’s operating expenses included, among others, payroll expenses, commissions, administrative expenses, audit fees, professional and insurance expense, litigation related and indemnification expenses, and taxes or other governmental charges levied against the Partnership. Partnership expenses may have also included broken deal

GPB HOLDINGS II, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

expenses. The Partnership is allocated from GPB a portion of the total compensation of GPB’s or its affiliates’ officers and employees relating to the time such officers or employees provide services to the Partnership or its subsidiaries.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is a US-based limited partnership treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Some of the Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries are classified as corporations and subject to U.S. federal, state, and in some cases, foreign income taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Partnership reduces the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets valuations will not be realized. The need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed quarterly. In assessing the requirement for, and amount of, a valuation allowance in accordance with the more likely than not standard for all periods, the Partnership considers all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning alternatives. A history of cumulative losses is a significant piece of negative evidence used in the assessment. If a history of cumulative losses is incurred for a tax jurisdiction, forecasts of future profitability are not used as positive evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets in the assessment.

We recognize the tax benefits of an uncertain tax position only if those benefits are more likely than not to be sustained based on existing tax law. Unrecognized tax benefits are subsequently recognized at the time the more likely than not recognition threshold is met, the tax matter is effectively settled or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired, whichever is earlier. We account for all interest and penalties on uncertain income tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership had no unrecognized tax benefits.

Risks and Uncertainties

We are subject to a number of legal proceedings involving both the Partnership and its subsidiaries, and GPB, as described in “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies.” While we are vigorously defending our position in these proceedings, there is uncertainty surrounding their related outcomes and timing. The cost to defend and the outcomes of these proceedings could affect the liquidity of the Partnership and the amount of available cash.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we estimate the liquidation value of our assets and recognize future costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation period. Our estimate of future legal costs is a significant estimate recorded as a component of liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate, any such adjustments may be material. There can be no assurance that these estimated values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or the amount of future distributions or our actual dissolution. See “Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business, and Recent Events” for further information.

Our access to cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities in amounts adequate to finance our operations could be significantly impaired by the financial institutions, with which we have arrangements. Any material decline in our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities could adversely impact our ability to meet certain steps in our Plan of Liquidation, pay distributions, among other things. Additionally, given our significant investment in U.S. Treasury Bills as of December 31, 2024, changes in interest rates could impact our estimated cash inflows during the liquidation period. These risks and uncertainties could have material adverse impacts on our operations and the amount of total net assets in liquidation.

3. Liability for Estimated Costs in Excess of Estimated Receipts During Liquidation

The liquidation basis of accounting requires the estimation of net cash flows from operations and all costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan of Liquidation. These accrued receipts and costs are estimated and are anticipated to be collected and paid out over the liquidation period. We project that we will have estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during the liquidation period. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the net realizable value of our remaining assets, estimates of direct costs incurred to complete the sale of such assets, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities, the costs associated with the winding up of operations, and other costs that we may incur which are not currently foreseeable. These accrued receipts and costs will be adjusted periodically as projections and assumptions change. Upon transition to the liquidation basis of accounting on December 31, 2023, we accrued receipts to be received and costs expected to be incurred during liquidation which is anticipated to be complete by December 31, 2026, however, no assurances can be provided that this date will be met. The liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation at December 31, 2024 was comprised of (in thousands):


	December 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Total estimated receipts during remaining liquidation period	$	13,541	$	21,769
Total estimated costs of operations:
Selling, general and administrative expenses		(35,883)		(58,596)
Selling, general and administrative expenses - related party		(5,987)		(13,683)
Total estimated costs during remaining liquidation period		(41,870)		(72,279)
Liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation	$	(28,329)	$	(50,510)

The change in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation for the years ended December 31, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

Estimated net inflows from investments consists of total estimated receipts during liquidation from estimated interest income accrued from investment securities and the net realizable value of our remaining investments.

Corporate expenditures primarily consists of (i) selling, general and administrative expenses, (ii) managerial assistant fees, and (iii) legal and consulting fees relating to our corporate activities.

Net change in working capital represents changes in assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of actual cash receipts or payments.

Changes in estimated future cash flows during liquidation includes adjustments to previous estimates and changes in estimated holding periods of our assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Partnership accrued interest income expected to be received on the investment securities invested in U.S. Treasury Bills of approximately $22.3 million. This resulted in an increase to the total estimated receipts during the remaining liquidation period within the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Partnership revised its projection for legal and legal indemnification costs, primarily as a result of significantly higher legal costs due to: (i) the guilty verdict returned in the Criminal Case (as defined in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies) and the impact it had on our consideration of potential outcomes with respect to the Criminal Case and the appeal of the Receivership Order (as defined in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies) (the “Appeal Process”) and (ii) higher-than-expected activity in numerous current and ongoing legal matters, resulting in a net increase of $12.9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses - corporate within the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation. As the various pending

legal matters against GPB and the Partnership continue, particularly with respect to the Appeal Process, the estimated legal and legal related costs could continue to be significantly adjusted resulting in additional changes to the liability for estimated cost in excess of estimated receipts. There is significant uncertainty surrounding estimated costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation term, and potentially thereafter, primarily due to the costs covered under the indemnification agreements described in more detail in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Partnership decreased the estimated net realizable value of the remaining two equity method investments by $2.1 million as a result of a lower than expected outlook on future performance.

The remaining $3.6 million decrease relates primarily to the change in estimated future costs during liquidation for other professional fees as a result of a change in allocation of projected costs during the remaining liquidation period among the GPB-managed Funds.

5. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Commencing in 2023, we no longer consolidate the Technology-Enabled Services and Energy segments within our financial results or reflect the financial results of these segments within our continuing results of operations. The historical results of operations and financial positions of the Technology-Enabled Services and Energy segments through the date of divestiture, are reported as Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Acquisitions during all periods presented are now classified as Discontinued Operations. Disclosures included below present accounting prior to being classified to Assets held for sale and Discontinued Operations. For further information on discontinued operations, See “Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business and Recent Events” and “Note 6. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”.

2023 ACQUISITION

Technology-Enabled Services

On January 6, 2023, with an effective date of January 1, 2023, HPI, entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of ALN Medical Management, LLC, (“ALN”), a provider of revenue cycle management and business related management services for total purchase consideration of $26.7 million. The purchase consideration was comprised of cash consideration of $11.7 million (net of cash acquired of $0.1 million); the fair value of an earnout of $11.1 million, which was a Level 3 financial asset; and, the fair value of rollover units of $3.8 million, which are defined as 1,339 of Class A-1 Units of HPI Holdings, LLC (“HPI Holdings”), the parent company of HPI (as previously defined), which were recorded in non-controlling interest in partners’ capital. Included in net assets is the assumption of promissory notes of $5.2 million. The earnout was valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, significant assumptions include the risk-free rate of 4.3% and the credit spread rate of 8.4%.

The components of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which were recorded at estimated fair values, are as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)
Current assets	$	5,392
Operating lease assets		1,131
Other assets		683
Property and equipment		1,255
Intangible assets		6,800
Goodwill		19,337
Debt		(5,208)
Operating lease liabilities		(1,120)
Current liabilities		(1,557)
Total net assets	$	26,713

The Partnership has finalized the purchase price and there have been no material adjustments from the preliminary allocation. The purchase of ALN resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and included the then expected synergies from combining ALN and HPI. ALN was included in the HPI reporting unit.

2023 DISPOSITIONS

Technology-Enabled Services

On December 15, 2023, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the entirety of the Partnership’s indirect ownership interest in HPI for $190.0 million in net cash proceeds including, amounts held in escrow. On January 19, 2024,the Partnership completed the sale of HPI. On January 19, 2024, the Partnership distributed $11.9 million to the non - controlling interest holders of HPI. The assets and liabilities of HPI have been classified as held for sale at their net realizable value as of December 31, 2023.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On October 24, 2023, the Partnership sold 100% of its equity interests in Cantata, for $22.3 million in net cash proceeds. The Partnership recorded a gain of approximately $1.5 million on disposal of the business in October 2023.

On August 23, 2023, the Partnership sold the assets and liabilities of Experience Care for $12.7 million in net cash proceeds. The Partnership recorded a gain of approximately $7.5 million on disposal of the business in August 2023.

The Partnership’s investments in HPI, Experience Care and Cantata previously constituted the Technology-Enables Services Segment. For further information on discontinued operations, See “Note 6. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”.

Energy

Erus, which comprised the majority of the assets and operating activity in the Energy Segment, filed for Chapter 7 protection on November 8, 2023. The combination of increasingly higher interest rates, and lower installation activity has led to increasingly difficult conditions in the sector, and have had a direct material impact on Erus’ business, profitability and cash-flow. In response, Erus implemented a number of initiatives and explored strategic alternatives, including a sale of the business. Despite best efforts to aggressively restructure the business and consummate a sale, management, working with its legal, financial and other advisors, decided that it was in the best interests of all Erus stakeholders for the Erus entities to cease business operations and file Chapter 7 petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Chapter 7 filing resulted in the appointment of a trustee for the Erus entities who will be charged with liquidating their assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors in accordance with the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Partnership recorded write-offs of materials and inventory to its net realizable value resulting in charges of $4.2 million were recorded in cost of goods, $4.5 million as it relates to contract assets and $15.0 million in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges are now included in loss from discontinued operations. For further information on discontinued operations, See “Note 6. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”.

8. Partners’ Capital

Capital Contributions

The Partnership was authorized to issue up to $750.0 million of Class A and Class B Limited Partnership Units.

As of December 31, 2023, there were 5,896.37 Class A Limited Partnership Units, 3,164.37 Class A-1 Limited Partnership Units, 2,956.08 Class B Limited Partnership Units and 1,604.05 Class B-1 Limited Partnership Units outstanding.

The unit issuance fees for Class B and Class B-1 Limited Partners are different than the fees paid by Class A and Class A-1 Limited Partners. These fees are direct and incremental costs of raising capital from issued Units and are reflected as unit offering costs in the Consolidated Statements of Partners’ Capital. GPB H2 SLP, LLC, an affiliate of the General Partner, is entitled to receive a performance allocation from the Partnership as discussed below.

Distributions and Redemptions

The Partnership does not currently expect to pay cash distributions in the future, other than, potentially, in connection with the Receivership Estate.

There were no redemptions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. All previous redemption requests have been cancelled pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation filed on January 17, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were state tax withholding distributions made on behalf of the Limited Partners of $1.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

We, our General Partner, and our portfolio companies are involved in a number of regulatory, litigation, arbitration and other proceedings or investigations, many of which expose us to potential significant financial loss. We are also advancing funds, pursuant to indemnification clauses in the LPA, to former officers and directors, as well as GPB, its former principals, representatives, and affiliates, for any costs they may incur in connection with their legal defense of such disputes as required by various agreements or governing law. This advancing of funds does not cover any potential future outcomes or settlements that result from these disputes.

We establish reserves or escrows for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal actions may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved or placed in escrow for those actions. Distributions may be delayed or withheld until such reserves are no longer needed or the escrow period expires. If liabilities exceed the amounts reserved or placed in escrow, Limited Partners may need to fund the difference by refunding some or all distributions previously received.

GPB HOLDINGS II, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

During the year ended December 31, 2024, GPB increased the estimated legal indemnification costs expected to be paid during the liquidation term resulting in an increase in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation of $12.9 million. The increase in these legal and legal indemnification cost projections is primarily as a result of significantly higher legal costs due to: (i) the guilty verdict returned in the Criminal Case (as defined below) and the impact it has on our consideration of potential outcomes with respect to the Criminal Case and the Appeal Process, and (ii) higher-than-expected activity in numerous current and ongoing legal matters. Legal indemnification expenses paid during the year ended December 31, 2024 were $26.1 million, and reduced the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation by a corresponding amount. As the various pending legal matters against GPB and the Partnership continue, particularly with respect to the Appeal Process, the estimated legal and legal related costs could continue to be significantly adjusted resulting in additional changes to the liability for estimated cost in excess of estimated receipts. There is significant uncertainty surrounding estimated costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation term, and potentially thereafter, primarily due to the costs covered under the indemnification agreements described in more detail below and the timing and potential outcomes of the Appeal Process.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Partnership expensed $16.2 million of legal indemnification expenses recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Partnership accrued $48.3 million of legal indemnification costs as a component of liability for estimated cost in excess of estimated of receipts during liquidation.

With respect to all significant litigation and regulatory matters facing us and our General Partner, we have considered the likelihood of an adverse outcome. It is possible that we could incur losses pertaining to these matters that may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity in any future reporting period. Our General Partner is currently paying legal costs associated with these actions for itself and certain indemnified parties. Subject to the Receiver’s and the EDNY Court’s approval, the Partnership may provide partial, or in many cases complete, reimbursement to the General Partner.

Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable a loss will be incurred, and that the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the reasonably possible loss. We regularly evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, if any, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgement is required to determine both the likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of a loss related to, such matters. We continue to evaluate these legal matters and potential future losses in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies.

Regulatory and Governmental Matters

GPB and certain of its former principals and affiliates face various regulatory and governmental matters. GPB seeks to comply with all laws, rules, regulations and investigations into any potential or alleged violation of law. In such situations where GPB disagrees with the allegations made against it, GPB intends to defend itself in court. These matters could have a material adverse effect on the Receivership Estate.

Federal Matters

On February 4, 2021, the SEC Action was filed against GPB, Ascendant, AAS, David Gentile, Jeffry Schneider and Jeffrey Lash in the EDNY Court. No GPB-managed partnership is a named defendant in the SEC Action. The SEC Action alleged several violations of the federal securities laws, including securities fraud. The SEC is seeking disgorgement and civil monetary penalties, among other remedies.

Also, on February 4, 2021, the USAO brought the Criminal Case against Mr. Gentile, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Lash. The indictment in the Criminal Case alleges conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and securities fraud against all three individuals. Mr. Gentile and Mr. Lash were also charged with two counts of wire fraud. Promptly following his indictment, Mr. Gentile resigned from all management and board positions with GPB and Highline, the GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, and subsidiaries of the Partnership.

On June 6, 2023, Mr. Lash pled guilty to one count of wire fraud in the Criminal Case pursuant to a plea agreement. Mr. Lash’s sentencing was originally scheduled for April 4, 2024. This has been postponed to a future undetermined date. On June 10, 2024, the trial in the Criminal Case commenced against Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider. The jury in the Criminal Case returned a guilty verdict on

all counts against Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider on August 1, 2024. Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider’s sentencing is scheduled for April 4, 2025. Mr. Lash’s sentencing is scheduled for May 8, 2025.

Appointment of Monitor

On February 11, 2021, the EDNY Court in the SEC Action appointed Joseph T. Gardemal III as an independent Monitor over GPB until further order of the EDNY Court. The EDNY Court appointed the Monitor in response to a request from the SEC, which asserted that the Monitor was necessary to protect investors in light of the alleged misconduct of GPB Capital’s former Chief Executive Officer, David Gentile. In its February 4, 2021 Complaint in the SEC Action, the SEC alleged that Mr. Gentile, as the owner and then-Chief Executive Officer of GPB Capital, along with Jeffry Schneider, the owner of Ascendant, GPB’s placement agent, lied to investors about the source of money used to make 8% annualized distribution payments to investors. According to the SEC, Mr. Gentile and others allegedly told investors that the distribution payments were paid exclusively with monies generated by GPB portfolio companies, but as alleged, GPB actually used investor money to pay portions of the annualized 8% distributions. The Complaint further contains allegations that Mr. Gentile and others manipulated financial statements of certain limited partnership funds that GPB manages to perpetuate the deception by giving the false appearance that the funds’ income was closer to generating sufficient income to cover the distribution payments than it actually was. Moreover, the Complaint alleges that Mr. Gentile engaged in undisclosed self-dealing, including by omitting from investor communications certain conflicts of interest and fees and other compensation that he received, totaling approximately $8.0 million.

In support of the Monitor Order, the SEC contended that the Monitor would provide assurances to investors, GPB’s counterparties, and the public that an unbiased and qualified person who was not beholden to Mr. Gentile, was vetting any significant transactions and decisions, and looking out for the interests of investors. Accordingly, pursuant to the Monitor Order, GPB was required to (i) grant the Monitor access to all non-privileged books, records and account statements for the GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, as well as their portfolio companies; and (ii) cooperate fully with requests by the Monitor reasonably calculated to fulfill the Monitor’s duties.

On April 14, 2021, the EDNY Court entered the amended Monitor Order, which provided that, in addition to the SEC and GPB, certain State regulators would receive access to the periodic reports filed by the Monitor pursuant to the Amended Monitor Order.

On May 31, 2022, Mr. Gentile filed a motion in the SEC Action to modify the Amended Monitor Order motion, Mr. Gentile sought a court order to, among other things, (i) narrow the scope of the Monitor’s responsibilities; and (ii) direct the Monitor to ensure that GPB does not sell or otherwise dispose of assets or portfolio companies that the Partnership owns before the completion of a “strategic assessment” to be conducted by three managers Mr. Gentile purported to have appointed to GPB on May 27, 2022. On that same day, May 31, 2022, the Monitor notified Mr. Gentile and GPB that Mr. Gentile’s purported appointment of three new managers to GPB without Monitor approval was in violation of the Amended Monitor Order. Mr. Gentile and GPB were, at that time, given ten (10) business days to cure the violation of the Amended Monitor Order. The cure period expired without any steps having been taken to comply with the Monitor’s notification of violation of the Amended Monitor Order.

On June 13, 2022, the SEC filed by order to show cause in the SEC Action an application and order to (i) convert the existing Monitorship over GPB and the GPB-managed funds to a Receivership, and appoint the Monitor, Joseph T. Gardemal III, as Receiver; and (ii) impose a litigation injunction on cases filed against GPB and the GPB-managed funds. The Receivership Application and the Proposed Order were filed with the EDNY Court with the consent of GPB’s management.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On December 7, 2023, the EDNY Court issued the Trial Court Receivership Order. On December 12, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider filed notice of appeal with the EDNY Court of the Trial Court Receivership Order, along with an Application for Order to Show Cause to the EDNY Court to stay the Trial Court Receivership Order pending resolution of Mr. Gentile’s and Mr. Schneider’s appeal to the Second Circuit. On December 14, 2023, the EDNY Court denied the Order to Show Cause, but exercised its discretion to grant a temporary stay of the Receivership Order to allow Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider to seek a stay pending appeal of the Receivership Order from the Second Circuit. On December 21, 2023, Mr. Gentile and Mr. Schneider timely filed their motion for a stay pending appeal with the Second Circuit.

Appointment of the Receiver

On December 3, 2024, the Second Circuit affirmed the EDNY Court’s Trial Court Receivership Order and lifted the stay, and the Receivership took effect. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Court has taken exclusive jurisdiction and possession of all assets of the Receivership Entities, and the Court has appointed Mr. Gardemal to serve as the Receiver of the Receivership Entities.

State Matters

On May 27, 2020, Massachusetts filed an Administrative Complaint against GPB for alleged violations of the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act. No GPB-managed fund is a named defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the offering documents for several GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, included material misstatements or omissions. Massachusetts seeks both monetary and administrative relief, including disgorgement and rescission to Massachusetts residents who purchased interest in the GPB-managed funds. This matter is stayed, pending resolution of the Criminal Case.

On February 4, 2021, seven State securities regulators each filed suit against GPB. No GPB-managed fund is a named defendant in any of the suits. Several of the suits also named Ascendant, AAS, Mr. Gentile, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Lash as defendants. The States’ lawsuits allege, among other things, that the offering documents for several GPB-managed funds, including the Partnership, included material misstatements and omissions. The States seek both monetary and administrative relief, including disgorgement and rescission. The cases brought by the States were stayed pending the conclusion of the related Criminal Case. The State of New Jersey voluntarily dismissed its case, without prejudice to re-file it following the conclusion of the Criminal Case.

Stay of Litigation

Pursuant to the Receivership Order, “all existing or future civil legal proceedings of any nature, including, but not limited to, bankruptcy proceedings, arbitration proceedings, foreclosure actions, default proceedings, or other actions of any nature” involving the Receiver, Receiver Entities, or assets of the Receivership Estate are stayed and/or enjoined until further Order of the EDNY Court (see Receivership Order, Sec. VII.). Following reinstatement of the Receivership Order, a Notice of Receivership and Litigation Injunction (each, a “Stay Notice”) was filed with the court in each of the proceedings listed below.

Concorde Investment Services, LLC v. GPB Capital Holdings, LLC, GPB Holdings, LP, GPB Automotive Portfolio, LP, GPB Waste Management, LP (American Arbitration Association, Case No. 01-21-0018-1470)

In December 2021, claimant Concorde Investment Services, LLC (“Concorde”, the plaintiff in the New York case set forth immediately above) filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration, however, was dormant while certain issues in the New York case were litigated. In January 2023, Concorde successfully sought the appointment of a 3-arbitrator panel to proceed against GPB Capital and the GPB-managed funds (the “GPB Funds”). Concorde seeks indemnification related to lawsuits and arbitrations brought against Concorde by its clients with respect to the limited partnership interests Concorde sold in the GPB Funds, and based upon the so-called “dealer agreements” entered into between Concorde and the GPB Funds. On or about April 25, 2023, the panel denied the respondents’ request to file either a motion to dismiss the arbitration, or to stay the arbitration pending the resolution of the related Criminal Case. On November 3, 2023, following a telephonic conference with the panel, the panel denied the GPB Respondents’ request to stay the arbitration pending a decision by the EDNY Court on the Receivership Application. Arbitration proceedings commenced on April 29, 2024, and concluded after ten (10) days of hearing on May 10, 2024. On January 27, 2025, following its receipt of a Stay Notice, the arbitration panel entered an Order, formally recognizing the Receivership and the litigation injunction, and stayed this case pending further Order of the EDNY Court. Any potential losses associated with this action cannot be estimated at this time.

On or about March 5, 2024, TTA Consideration Holdings, LLC f/k/a ALN Medical Management (“Plaintiff”), LLC filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against HPI Holdings, LLC.

Plaintiff alleges that HPI Holdings, LLC (“HPI Holdings”) improperly refused to issue to plaintiff a so-called Synergy Earn Out payment that was required to be made per the terms of that certain January 1, 2023 Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between the plaintiff (as seller) and HPI Holdings (as buyer). Plaintiff contends that HPI Holdings is intentionally and wrongfully hindering plaintiff’s ability to be paid under the applicable agreements between the parties. Plaintiff seeks monetary damages in an amount calculated pursuant to the agreements at issue in the case, pre and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees. HPI Holdings denies any wrongdoing in connection with the lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend itself against plaintiff’s claims. On November 22, 2024, the Court denied HPI Holdings’ motion to dismiss the case. On January 8, 2025, HPI Holdings filed a Stay Notice with the Court. On January 20, 2025, HPI Holdings filed a motion with the Court to Confirm Litigation Injunction. On February 28, the Court entered a stipulation, agreed to by the parties, to stay the Delaware action until such time as the United States District of New York determines whether HPI Holdings is subject to the litigation injunction under the Receivership Order. Any potential losses associated with this matter cannot be estimated at this time.

Actions asserted by GPB

With respect to the actions listed below, the Receiver has opted to continue the litigation rather than stay it.

GPB Capital Holdings, LLC et al. v. Patrick Dibre (New York Supreme Court, Nassau County, Case No. 606417/2017)

In July 2017, GPB, the Partnership, GPB Holdings I, LP, GPB Holdings Automotive, LLC, and GPB Portfolio Automotive, LLC filed suit in the New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County, against Patrick Dibre, one of their former operating partners, for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and conversion arising out of the Defendant’s sale of certain automobile dealerships to the GPB plaintiffs. Mr. Dibre answered GPB’s Complaint, and asserted counterclaims alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs have since filed amended complaints, narrowing the prior claims to focus on certain specific provisions in the documents governing the sale of the dealerships at issue. The plaintiffs seek damages based on the value of the subject dealerships related to the alleged breach, and also seek an order of specific performance compelling Mr. Dibre to fulfill other obligations under the governing documents. Any ruling in favor of the Partnership or potential losses associated with this matter cannot be determined or estimated at this time.
