Under Rule 2.2.3R of the Financial Conduct Authority's (“FCA”) Conduct of Business Sourcebook, A&M Capital Advisors Europe LLP (“A&M Capital Europe” or “the Firm”), to the extent it is managing investments for a professional client (as defined by the FCA), is required to include a disclosure about the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code 2020 (the "Code") or, where it does not commit to the Code, explain its considered choice based on the Firm’s investment approach. The Code is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors in UK-listed companies.
A&M Capital Europe is a private equity firm that invests in a variety of asset classes in a number of jurisdictions globally and exposure to UK companies is relatively limited. Consequently, while A&M Capital Europe generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, the provisions of the Code are not considered to be relevant to the activities currently undertaken by the Firm. If A&M Capital Europe’s activities changes in such a manner that the provisions of the Code become relevant, the Firm will amend this disclosure accordingly.

This Website contains certain statements made by past or present members of management teams at portfolio companies in which A&M Capital has invested. These statements are not intended to, and should not be understood to, be indicative of any investor's experience investing with A&M Capital or any investor's approval, support or recommendation of investment advisory services provided by A&M Capital. These statements reflect the opinions, views and/or beliefs of such individuals and are intended to be viewed by executives of companies that could become A&M Capital portfolio companies in the future. Additionally, viewers of the Website should bear in mind that other management team members at portfolio companies in which A&M Capital has invested may not necessarily share the same views, beliefs, or opinions about A&M Capital and its investment professionals as those expressed in these statements. Moreover, the Website contains certain content regarding portfolio companies in which A&M Capital has invested, some of which may have been published in the context of marketing certain products. The information included in such content has not necessarily been independently verified by A&M Capital, nor does A&M Capital assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or currentness of such information.
A&M Capital, due to its ownership interest in, and/or governance rights over, a portfolio company, is often in a position to influence decisions regarding executive compensation, executive hiring and firing, and other similar matters in relation to that portfolio company. Such relationships give rise to potential conflicts of interest on the part of portfolio company executives who make statements about A&M Capital. For example, a portfolio company executive may have an incentive to make a positive statement about A&M Capital in order to influence A&M Capital with respect to decisions A&M Capital may make in regards to the portfolio company that may benefit the executive (e.g., decisions relating to executive compensation). Moreover, portfolio company executives may have an incentive to make a positive statement about A&M Capital in order to influence A&M Capital to grant the executive preferential terms with respect to any personal investment that he or she has made, or may in the future make, in an A&M Capital-managed vehicle.
While portfolio company executives may, from time to time, invest in A&M Capital-managed vehicles, any statements by portfolio company executives contained herein are meant to reflect their experiences as A&M Capital portfolio company executives and not their experiences as investors in such vehicles (if applicable). Certain of the portfolio companies discussed in statements contained on this Website are controlled by A&M Capital (as of the dates these statements were made).
Any of the investment strategies described on the website entails various substantial risks, including the potential loss of principal. These risks relate to, among other things: the highly competitive market for investment opportunities; dependence on A&M Capital’s ability to identify and consummate suitable investments and add value to its portfolio companies; general risks associated with portfolio companies’ businesses; changes in economic or market conditions, legal or regulatory requirements and tax laws; reliance on portfolio company management teams; costs associated with investing; and the ability to recruit and retain talented and well-qualified investment professionals. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives of the strategies will be achieved and returns may vary significantly over time. Investment in the strategies described on the website is not suitable for all investors.
For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding paragraph merely identifies at a high level some of the risk factors associated with the investment strategies described on this website and does not, by any means, purport to provide a complete and sufficiently detailed description of the various substantial risks associated with such strategies.
