Watermill Management Company, LLC (hereinafter “WMC” or “firm”) is a SEC- registered investment adviser with its principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm has been investing under the name Watermill Management Company since 2002. Prior to 2002, investments in industrial businesses were made through HMK Enterprises Inc., a Karol family holding company started in 1978, which continues to be an active investor in the firm’s Fund investments. The firm’s registration with the SEC does not imply any particular level of skill or training by the firm or employees or that the SEC has endorsed their respective qualifications to provide investment advisory services.

Karol WMC provides investment management services to private equity funds and certain parallel co-investors (hereinafter collectively, "the Funds"). The fund manager will call on investors to make capital infusions to support the Fund’s investments once those investments have been identified and fully vetted through a due diligence and negotiation process.

strategic, operating, marketing and financial advice and identifies exit options prior to an initial investment. WMC leverages its industry knowledge and contacts to identify investment opportunities for the Funds. The investment objective of the Funds is to seek long-term capital appreciation. WMC seeks to invest the Funds’ assets primarily in the equity securities or interests of private companies and typically seeks majority control positions via one or more of the Funds or with other co-investors. WMC sources investment opportunities directly and from third parties, including traditional investment banks and brokers. The Funds are not required to register under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment Company Act of 1940 in reliance upon certain exemptions available to issuers whose securities are not publicly offered. WMC manage the Funds on a discretionary basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Fund's offering and organizational documents.
