In particular, you will provide us with personal information within the forms and any associated documentation that you complete when subscribing for interests; when you provide it to us or our service providers in correspondence and conversations (including by email); when you make transactions with respect to the Partnership; and when you provide remittance instructions.

We may also obtain personal data on you from other publicly accessible directories and sources.

Sharing your personal data

We may share your personal data with our affiliates and delegates. In certain circumstances we may be legally obliged to share your personal data and other financial information with respect to your interest in the Partnership with relevant regulatory authorities such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority or the Tax Information Authority. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities and other applicable regulatory authorities.

The Partnership’s affiliates and delegates may process your personal data on the Partnership's behalf, including with our banks, accountants, auditors and lawyers which may be data controllers in their own right. The Partnership's services providers, such as the administrator (if any), are generally processors acting on the instructions of the Partnership. Additionally, a service provider may use your personal data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which it is directly subject (for example, to comply with applicable law in the area of anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing or where mandated by a court order or regulatory sanction). The service provider, in respect of this specific use of personal data, acts as a data controller.

In exceptional circumstances, we will share your personal data with regulatory, prosecuting and other governmental agencies or departments, and parties to litigation (whether pending or threatened) in any country or territory.

27

Sending your personal data internationally

Due to the international nature of our business, your personal data may be transferred to jurisdictions that do not offer equivalent protection of personal data as under the Data Protection Legislation. In such cases, we will process personal data or procure that it be processed in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation, which may include having appropriate contractual undertakings in legal agreements with service providers who process personal data on our behalf.

Retention and deletion of your personal data

We will keep your personal data for as long as it is required by us. For example, we may require it for our legitimate business purposes, to perform our contractual obligations, or where law or regulation obliges us to. We will generally retain your personal data throughout the lifecycle of the investment you are involved in.

EXHIBIT A

US IGA DEFINITIONS

Account Holder means the person listed or identified as the holder of a Financial Account by the Financial Institution that maintains the account. A person, other than a Financial Institution, holding a Financial Account for the benefit or account of another person as agent, custodian, nominee, signatory, investment advisor, or intermediary, is not treated as holding the account for purposes of this Deed, and such other person is treated as holding the account. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the term “Financial Institution” does not include a Financial Institution organized or incorporated in a U.S. Territory. In the case of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract, the Account Holder is any person entitled to access the Cash Value or change the beneficiary of the contract. If no person can access the Cash Value or change the beneficiary, the Account Holder is any person named as the owner in the contract and any person with a vested entitlement to payment under the terms of the contract. Upon the maturity of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract, each person entitled to receive a payment under the contract is treated as an Account Holder.

Active Non-Financial Foreign Entity means any NFFE which is a Non U.S. entity that meets any of the following criteria:

(a) Less than 50 percent of the NFFE’s gross income for the preceding calendar year or other appropriate reporting period is passive income and less than 50 percent of the assets held by the NFFE during the preceding calendar year or other appropriate reporting period are assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income;

(b) The stock of the NFFE is regularly traded on an established securities market or the NFFE is a Related Entity of an Entity the stock of which is traded on an established securities market;

(c) The NFFE is organized in a U.S. Territory and all of the owners of the payee are bona fide residents of that U.S. Territory;

(d) The NFFE is a non-U.S. government, a government of a U.S. Territory, an international organization, a non-U.S. central bank of issue, or an Entity wholly owned by one or more of the foregoing;

(e) substantially all of the activities of the NFFE consist of holding (in whole or in part) the outstanding stock of, and providing financing and services to, one or more subsidiaries that engage in trades or businesses other than the business of a Financial Institution, except that an NFFE shall not qualify for this status if the NFFE functions (or holds itself out) as an investment fund, such as a private equity fund, venture capital fund, leveraged buyout fund or any investment vehicle whose purpose is to acquire or fund companies and then hold interests in those companies as capital assets for investment purposes;

(f) The NFFE is not yet operating a business and has no prior operating history, but is investing capital into assets with the intent to operate a business other than that of a Financial Institution; provided, that the NFFE shall not qualify for this exception after the date that is 24 months after the date of the initial organization of the NFFE;

(g) The NFFE was not a Financial Institution in the past five years, and is in the process of liquidating its assets or is reorganizing with the intent to continue or recommence operations in a business other than that of a Financial Institution;

(h) The NFFE primarily engages in financing and hedging transactions with or for Related Entities that are not Financial Institutions, and does not provide financing or hedging services to any Entity that is not a Related Entity, provided that the group of any such Related Entities is primarily engaged in a business other than that of a Financial Institution; or

(i) The NFFE is an “excepted NFFE” as described in relevant U.S. Treasury Regulations; or

(j) The NFFE meets all of the following requirements:

i) It is established and maintained in its country of residence exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, artistic, cultural, athletic or educational purposes; or it is established and operated in its jurisdiction of residence and it is a professional organization, business league, chamber of commerce, labour organization, agricultural or horticultural organization, civic league or an organization operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare;

41

ii) It is exempt from income tax in its country of residence;

iii) It has no shareholders or members who have a proprietary or beneficial interest in its income or assets;

iv) The applicable laws of the Entity’s country of residence or the Entity’s formation documents do not permit any income or assets of the Entity to be distributed to, or applied for the benefit of, a private person or non- charitable Entity other than pursuant to the conduct of the Entity’s charitable activities, or as payment of reasonable compensation for services rendered, or as payment representing the fair market value of property which the Entity has purchased; and

v) The applicable laws of the Entity’s country of residence or the Entity’s formation documents require that, upon the Entity’s liquidation or dissolution, all of its assets be distributed to a governmental entity or other non-profit organization, or escheat to the government of the Entity’s jurisdiction of residence or any political subdivision thereof.

Code means the U.S Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Controlling Person means the natural persons who exercise direct or indirect control over an entity. In the case of a trust, such term means the settlor, the trustees, the protector (if any), the beneficiaries or class of beneficiaries, and any other natural person exercising ultimate effective control over the trust, and in the case of a legal arrangement other than a trust, such term means persons in equivalent or similar positions. The term 'Controlling Persons' shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations (“FATF”).

FATF Recommendations on Controlling Persons:

Identify the beneficial owners of the customer and take reasonable measures to verify the identity of such persons, through the following information. For legal persons²³:

(a) The identity of the natural persons (if any – as ownership interests can be so diversified that there are no natural persons (whether acting alone or together) exercising control of the legal person or arrangement through ownership) who ultimately have a controlling ownership interest²⁴ in a legal person; and

(b) to the extent that there is doubt under (a) as to whether the person(s) with the controlling ownership interest are the beneficial owner(s) or where no natural person exerts control through ownership interests, the identity of the natural persons (if any) exercising control of the legal person or arrangement through other means.

(c) Where no natural person is identified under (a) or (b) above, financial institutions should identify and take reasonable measures to verify the identity of the relevant natural person who holds the position of senior managing official.

Entity means a legal person or a legal arrangement such as a trust.

Exempt Beneficial Owners under the US IGA include Government entities, International Organisations, Central Bank, Broad Participation Retirement Funds, Narrow Participation Retirement Funds, Pension Funds of an Exempt Beneficial Owner, and Investment Entities wholly owned by Exempt Beneficial Owners. Please refer to the IGA for detailed definitions.

Financial Institution means a Custodial Institution, a Depository Institution, an Investment Entity, or a Specified Insurance Company, where:

(a) Custodial Institution means any entity that holds, as a substantial portion of its business, financial assets for the account of others. An entity holds financial assets for the account of others as a substantial portion of its business if the entity’s gross income attributable to the holding of financial assets and related financial services equals or exceeds 20 percent of the Entity’s gross income during the shorter of: (i) the three-year period that ends on 31 December (or the final day of a non-calendar year accounting period) prior to the year in which the determination is being made; or (ii) the period during which the entity has been in existence;

²³ Measures (a) to (b) are not alternative options, but are cascading measures, with each to be used where the previous measure has been applied and has not identified a beneficial owner.

²⁴ A controlling ownership interest depends on the ownership structure of the company. It may be based on a threshold, e.g. any person owning more than a certain percentage of the company (e.g. 25%).

42

(b) Depository Institution means any entity that accepts deposits in the ordinary course of a banking or similar business;

(c) Investment Entity means any entity that conducts as a business (or is managed by an entity that conducts as a business) one or more of the following activities or operations for or on behalf of a customer: (1) trading in money market instruments (cheques, bills, certificates of deposit, derivatives, etc.); foreign exchange; exchange, interest rate and index instruments; transferable securities; or commodity futures trading; (2) individual and collective portfolio management; or (3) otherwise investing, administering, or managing funds or money on behalf of other persons.

For this purpose control includes direct or indirect ownership of more than 50 percent of the vote or value in an entity.

If no person can access the Cash Value or change the beneficiary, the Account Holder is any person named as the owner in the contract and any person with a vested entitlement to payment under the terms of the contract. Upon the maturity of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract, each person entitled to receive a payment under the contract is treated as an Account Holder.

Controlling Person means the natural persons who exercise direct or indirect control over an entity.

In the case of a trust, such term means the settlor(s), the trustees(s), the protector(s) (if any), the beneficiary(ies) or class(es) of beneficiaries, and any other natural person(s) exercising ultimate effective control over the trust, and in the case of a legal arrangement other than a trust, such term means persons in equivalent or similar positions. The term 'Controlling Persons' shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations (“FATF”).

FATF Recommendations on Controlling Persons:

Identify the beneficial owners of the customer and take reasonable measures to verify the identity of such persons, through the following information. For legal persons²⁵:

(a) The identity of the natural persons (if any – as ownership interests can be so diversified that there are no natural persons (whether acting alone or together) exercising control of the legal person or arrangement through ownership) who ultimately have a controlling ownership interest²⁶ in a legal person; and

(b) to the extent that there is doubt under (a) as to whether the person(s) with the controlling ownership interest are the beneficial owner(s) or where no natural person exerts control through ownership interests, the identity of the natural persons (if any) exercising control of the legal person or arrangement through other means.

(c) Where no natural person is identified under (a) or (b) above, financial institutions should identify and take reasonable measures to verify the identity of the relevant natural person who holds the position of senior managing official.

Financial Institution means a Custodial Institution, a Depository Institution, an Investment Entity, or a Specified Insurance Company, where:

(a) Custodial Institution means any entity that holds, as a substantial portion of its business, financial assets for the account of others. An entity holds financial assets for the account of others as a substantial portion of its business if the entity’s gross income attributable to the holding of financial assets and related financial services equals or exceeds 20 percent of the Entity’s gross income during the shorter of: (i) the three-year period that ends on 31 December (or the final day of a non-calendar year accounting period) prior to the year in which the determination is being made; or (ii) the period during which the entity has been in existence;

(b) Depository Institution means any entity that accepts deposits in the ordinary course of a banking or similar business;

(c) Investment Entity means any entity :

(A)          that primarily conducts as a business one or more of the following activities or operations for or on behalf of a customer:

i) trading in money market instruments (cheques, bills, certificates of deposit, derivatives, etc.); foreign exchange; exchange, interest rate and index instruments; transferable securities; or commodity futures trading;

ii) individual and collective portfolio management; or

²⁵ Measures (a) to (b) are not alternative options, but are cascading measures, with each to be used where the previous measure has been applied and has not identified a beneficial owner.

²⁶ A controlling ownership interest depends on the ownership structure of the company. The threshold in respect of a legal person is direct or indirect ownership or control of 10% or more of the shares or voting rights in the legal person, being the threshold specified by the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, 2018 which implement the FATF Recommendations in the Cayman Islands.

46

iii) otherwise investing, administering, or managing Financial Assets or money on behalf of other persons; or

(B)           the gross income of which is primarily attributable to investing, reinvesting, or trading in Financial Assets, if the entity is managed by another entity that is a Depository Institution, a Custodial Institution, a Specified Insurance Company, or an Investment Entity described in limb (A) of this definition.

An entity is treated as primarily conducting as a business one or more of the activities described in limb (A), or an entity’s gross income is primarily attributable to investing, reinvesting, or trading in Financial Assets for purposes of limb (B) if the entity’s gross income attributable to the relevant activities equals or exceeds 50% of the entity’s gross income during the shorter of: (i) the three-year period ending on 31 December of the year preceding the year in which the determination is made; or (ii) the period during which the entity has been in existence. The term “Investment Entity” does not include an entity that is an Active Non-Financial Foreign Entity because it meets any of the criteria in subparagraphs d) through (g) of the definition of Active NFE.

The preceding paragraph shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with similar language set forth in the definition of “financial institution” in the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations; and

(d) Specified Insurance Company means any entity that is an insurance company (or the holding company of an insurance company) that issues, or is obligated to make payments with respect to, a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract.

(c) any other Entity that presents a low risk of being used to evade tax, has substantially similar characteristics to any of the Entities described in subparagraphs B(1)(a) and (b), and is defined in domestic law as a Non-Reporting Financial Institution, provided that the status of such Entity as a Non-Reporting Financial Institution does not frustrate the purposes of the Common Reporting Standard;

ANNEX A TO SCHEDULE 6

DEFINITION OF “INVESTMENTS”

The following is designed to assist Subscribers in determining which of their assets are “Investments” and how to value those assets appropriately. Although Investments include most of what are ordinarily considered “investments” or “securities” (but excludes assets such as jewelry, artwork, antiques and other similar collectibles), issues may arise as to whether a particular holding falls within the definition. The following is intended only as a summary and is subject to and qualified by the applicable definitions under the Investment Company Act. The following is not legal advice and investors are encouraged to consult their legal and/or tax advisors for guidance on these issues.

i. Types of Investments. The term “Investments” includes the investments described below. See the accompanying footnotes for more complete definitions.

1) Cash and cash equivalents (including foreign currency) held for investment purposes, including bank deposits, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, and the net cash surrender value of an insurance policy.

2) Securities such as:

a. shares of (and other interests in) mutual funds, closed-end funds, hedge funds, and commodity pools;

b. securities, including common stock, preferred stock and other equity instruments as well as bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations, of any public company (including companies listed on certain foreign exchanges);

c. securities, including common stock, preferred stock and other equity instruments as well as bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations, of any private company with at least $50 million in shareholders’ equity;

d. securities, including common stock, preferred stock and other equity instruments as well as bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations, of any private company with less than $50 million in shareholders’ equity provided the Subscriber does not control or exercise control, alone or with others, over the private company. (A director or executive officer of a company or the holder of more than 10% of a company’s voting stock will generally be deemed to control the company);

e. interests in family-owned or closely-held businesses controlled by the Subscriber if they fall in one of categories (i)-(iii) above; and

f. bonds, notes and similar debt obligations issued by federal, state and local governments and agencies.

3) Real estate held for investment purposes (which does not include a place of business used by the Subscriber or the Subscriber’s family, or a personal residence used by the Subscriber or the Subscriber’s family unless the residence is treated as an investment for tax purposes).

4) Commodity futures contracts, options on commodity futures contracts, and options on physical commodities traded on or subject to the rules of a major commodities exchange held for investment purposes.

59

5) Physical commodities such as gold or silver with respect to which a commodity interest is traded on or subject to the rules of a major commodities exchange²⁸ held for investment purposes.

6) Financial contracts²⁹ entered into for investment purposes, e.g. swaps and similar contracts.

7) With respect to a commodity pool or other privately offered pooled investment vehicle, the unfunded capital commitments of its investors.³⁰

ii. Valuation. An Investment should be valued at its fair market value as of the most recent practicable date or its cost, provided that commodity interests should be valued at the initial margin or option premium deposited in connection with such interests.

²⁸ Any contract market designated for trading such transactions under the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules thereunder or any board of trade or exchange outside the United States, as contemplated by the Commodity Exchange Act.

²⁹ As defined in Section 3(c)(2)(B)(ii) of the Investment Company Act.

³⁰ A Subscriber which is either (i) a company excluded from the definition of an investment company under Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, (ii) a company that would be an investment company but for the exclusion provided by Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act, (iii) an employees’ securities company as defined in Section 2(a)(13) of the Investment Company Act, or (iv) a commodity pool, may treat as Investments of Qualified Purchasers any amounts payable to the Subscriber pursuant to a binding commitment in which a person has agreed to acquire an interest in, or make capital contributions to the Subscriber upon the demand of the Subscriber.
