Investor Letter

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

To All FlowStone Opportunity Fund investors:

We are very pleased to present you with the annual report for FlowStone Opportunity Fund (“FSOF” or “Fund”) for the fiscal year ended, March 31, 2026. The Fund’s Net Asset Value is $710.8 million, as of March 31, 2026.

During the one-year period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund’s Class I Shares net total return was 6.45%. Over the same period, the Russell 2000 Index generated a 25.72% total return. Private equity returns have generally lagged the public indices for the past few years. There are several factors that have influenced this - valuations, sector / company concentration in the major indices and reduced private equity exit activity. FSOF is managed to provide broadly diversified private equity exposure that is often difficult to access for most investors. FlowStone Partners, LLC (the “Adviser” or “FlowStone”) seeks to generate private equity-like returns through a diversified portfolio that may result in lower return volatility, in both up and down markets, compared to broad-based public equity indices which may be driven by a handful of positions(*). The Adviser’s investment strategy seeks to acquire and manage quality private equity assets, generally at discounts to what we assess to be appropriate and sustainable valuations. This approach has resulted in a net total return of 8.22% over the five-year period ended March 31, 2026 and 12.51% since the Fund’s inception (August 30, 2019) through March 31, 2026. These results have exceeded the returns of the Russell 2000 Index over the same periods by 4.45% and 2.94%, respectively.

The Fund’s objective is to generate an appropriate level of excess risk-adjusted returns through traditional private equity investment horizons, while shorter term results may experience a less correlated outcome. For example, public markets that rally following a drawdown, such as in 2023 and 2024, may outperform private equity over the short term, but private markets may outperform public indices when they experience downturns and during a more sustained rebound in public markets and private company exit activity supported by strong capital markets(*). We believe this was evidenced across the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 and through the COVID environment in 2020(*). It is difficult, if not impossible, for investors to forecast these inflection points and empirical evidence suggests the best way to benefit from private equity is to consistently invest over a long-term horizon.

In building the FSOF portfolio, we continuously seek to balance transaction types across various metrics: highly diversified versus single-asset; tail-end versus “sweet spot”; and growth versus purchase discount. We believe each transaction type can provide benefits to the portfolio in different market environments, and we seek to utilize a balanced approach to build a diversified portfolio that can provide appropriate risk adjusted returns.

The key components of our long-term performance are 1) the excess risk adjusted returns possible through properly executed private equity secondary transactions, including the Adviser’s ability to purchase assets at a discount to Net Asset Value (as reported by the underlying managers); 2) the potential for long-term outperformance of private equity as an asset class relative to public indices as measured by PME (Private Market Equivalent) metrics; 3) the level of investment portfolio diversification across all of the relevant metrics (fund, manager, investment strategy, industry sector, and vintage year); and 4) the quality of the Fund’s portfolio (in the Adviser’s assessment).

2025 exhibited an increase in secondary transaction volume. We are pleased with the quality, pricing, and pace of the Fund’s deal flow pipeline and investment activity. While there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized, we expect the private equity secondary markets to continue to enjoy increased transaction volume as pent-up supply finds its way to the market and the economic environment creates pressures for investors to actively manage their private equity portfolios through secondary transactions. These pressures include a downturn in liquidity proceeds from mature portfolios creating pressure on institutional investors’ investment budgets anticipated to persist through 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund has approximately $56.2 million of uninvested capital available to make secondary purchases and primary commitments in the private equity market. In addition, the Fund established a $200 million revolving line of credit on March 30, 2026, which it intends to commit to secondary transactions throughout 2026, adding quality assets to the portfolio creating both long-term return potential and short-term gains through the purchase price discounts. The Adviser’s experience investing through multiple macro environments over the past 30 years suggests that the increase in deal volume, combined with a relatively favorable pricing environment at the smaller end of the secondary market where the Fund focuses, may create an attractive buying opportunity.

As always, we sincerely appreciate your trust in the FlowStone team’s ability to be good stewards of your capital. Every day, we strive to re-earn that trust. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Scott P. Conners, CFA
Managing Director

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment in this Fund may result in the loss of all principal amounts invested. Shares are not listed on any securities exchange and it is not anticipated that a secondary market for Shares will develop. Shares of beneficial interest in the Fund (the “Shares”) are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust (as amended and restated). Although the Fund may offer to repurchase Shares from time to time, Shares will not be redeemable at a Shareholder’s option nor will they be exchangeable for Shares or shares of any other fund. As a result, an investor may not be able to sell or otherwise liquidate his or her Shares. Shares are appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment and for whom an investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The amount of distributions that the Fund may pay, if any, is uncertain. The Fund may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that are unrelated to the Fund’s performance, such as offering proceeds, borrowings, and amounts from the Fund’s affiliates that are subject to repayment by investors.

The Russell 2000 is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 2,000 small-cap U.S. public companies.

This is not an offer to sell Shares and is not soliciting an offer to buy Shares in any state or jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted. You are advised to read the Prospectus carefully prior to investment.

Investments in the Fund may be made only by “Eligible Investors” defined as a “qualified client” within the meaning of Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.

This material represents the manager’s assessment of the Fund and market environment as of March 31, 2026 and should not be relied upon by the reader as research, tax or investment advice, is subject to change at any time based upon economic, market, or other conditions and the Adviser undertakes no obligation to update the views expressed herein. The views expressed above (including any forward-looking statement) may not be relied upon as investment advice or as an indication of the Fund’s trading intent.

This report contains certain forward-looking statements about factors that may affect the performance of the Fund in the future. These statements are based on the Fund’s management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events such as the performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors. Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.

The Fund’s principal underwriter is Distribution Services, LLC.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

The total returns shown reflect any expenses that were contractually or voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by any party during the periods presented. In such instances, and without activity, the total returns would have been lower.

* The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization weighted price index composed of 500 widely held U.S. common stocks and is frequently used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance.

**The Russell 2000 is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 2,000 small-cap U.S. public companies.

***Reflects the expense ratios as reported in the Registration Statement dated July 31, 2025, as supplemented April 2, 2026.

The above indices are for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with the Fund, such as investment management, incentive and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of these expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, although an investor can invest in its underlying securities.

FlowStone Opportunity Fund

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2026

1. Organization

FlowStone Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on May 23, 2018 and commenced operations on August 30, 2019. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund has received an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permits the Fund to offer multiple classes of shares. The Fund has registered four separate classes of shares of beneficial interests, designated as Class A Shares, Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class M Shares (collectively, the “Shares”). Only Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class M Shares are currently offered for purchase. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund has issued and outstanding Shares of Class D, Class I, and Class M. Shares are generally offered for purchase as of the first business day of each calendar quarter. All Shares have the same rights and privileges, except in matters affecting a single class, and have ownership in the same underlying investment portfolio. The Fund allocates income and expenses to each class of Shares based on net assets at the end of the prior quarter plus capital transactions effective as of the beginning of the current quarter. The separate classes of Shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any) and distribution and servicing fees. Share class specific expenses are further described in the Fund’s prospectus. FlowStone Partners, LLC, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Advisers Act”), serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to generate appropriate risk-adjusted long-term returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of private equity investments (“Investment Funds”). The Fund’s investments are expected to consist primarily of: (i) secondary investments in private equity funds managed by third-party managers; (ii) primary investments in private equity funds managed by third-party managers (together with third-party managers described in (i), “Investment Fund Managers”); and (iii) direct co-investments in the equity and/or debt of operating companies.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” and the members thereof, “Trustees”) of the Fund has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund. As permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Fund, any committee of the Board, or the Adviser.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company and as a result, maintains its accounting records and has presented these financial statements in accordance with the reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Consolidation of Subsidiaries — FlowStone Opportunity Fund (Blocker), LLC (the “Subsidiary”), is an investment company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Financial Highlights (“Consolidated Financial Statements”) of the Fund for Class D, Class I and Class M Shares include the accounts of its Subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Subsidiary was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on December 19, 2023. On March 31, 2026, the Subsidiary had net assets of $2,347,533 which equals 0.33% of the Fund’s total net assets.

A) Investment Transactions - Purchases of investments in the Investment Funds are recorded as of the first day of legal ownership of an Investment Fund and redemptions from the Investment Funds are recorded as of the last day of legal ownership. Non-cash stock distributions received from Investment Funds are recorded on the date that the distributions are known. Realized gains or losses on investments in the Investment Funds and investments in securities are recorded at the time of the disposition of the respective investment based on specific identification. Investment in security transactions are recorded on trade date.

B) Valuation of Investments - Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”) establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC adopted related recordkeeping requirements and rescinded previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. In accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee (in such capacity, the “Valuation Designee”) with the day-to-day responsibility for fair valuation determinations and pricing of the investments subject to oversight by the Board.

20

FlowStone Opportunity Fund

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Continued) 

The Board has approved procedures pursuant to which the Fund values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value, which is generally determined as an amount equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s investment in the Investment Funds as determined by the Investment Fund’s general partner or its Investment Fund Manager. This is commonly referred to as using NAV as the practical expedient which allows for estimation of the fair value of an investment in an investment entity based on NAV or its equivalent if the NAV of the investment entity is calculated in a manner consistent with ASC 946. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations of the investments in the Investment Funds, their estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the Investment Funds existed, and the differences could be material. In accordance with its valuation policies, if no such information is available, or if such information is deemed to not be reflective of fair value by the Valuation Designee, an estimated fair value is determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Fund’s valuation procedures. Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their reported NAV per share.

Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined.

C) Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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 financial statements, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

D) Dividend, Interest and Investment Income Recognition and Expenses - Dividend, interest and investment income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. The Fund accounts for income from underlying Investment Fund distributions based on the nature of such distributions as determined by the underlying investment managers and can be classified as income, capital gain or a return of capital. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred. The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; professional fees; costs of insurance; registration expenses; and expenses of meetings of the Board. Expenses are subject to the Fund’s Expense Limitation Agreement (see Note 8).

E) Foreign Currency Translation - The functional currency of the Fund is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the composite rate of exchange as reported at the end of each reporting period by third-party pricing sources. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the rates of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting foreign exchange realized and or unrealized gain (loss) from such transactions is included in net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in Investment Funds and foreign currency translation on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

F) Segment Reporting – The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or its results of operations. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through improved segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and to assess its potential future cash flows. The Fund’s President acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of the prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Adviser. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

G) Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted.

In the reporting period, the Fund adopted ASU 2023-09, which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact financial statement disclosures and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations.

21

FlowStone Opportunity Fund

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Continued) 

H) Cash – Cash may be swept into interest bearing overnight demand deposit accounts, in amounts which may exceed insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts.

3. Risk Associated with Investments in Investment Funds

A) Dependence on the Investment Fund Managers - Because the Fund invests in Investment Funds, an investment in the Fund will be affected by the investment policies and decisions of the Investment Fund Manager of each Investment Fund in direct proportion to the amount of Fund assets that are invested in each Investment Fund. The Fund’s NAV may fluctuate in response to, among other things, various market and economic factors related to the markets in which the Investment Funds invest and the financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the Investment Funds invest. The success of the Fund depends upon the ability of the Investment Fund Managers to develop and implement strategies that achieve their investment objectives. Fund shareholders (collectively, “Shareholders”) will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific investments made by the Investment Funds or the Investment Fund Managers, or the terms of any such investments. In addition, the Investment Fund Managers could materially alter their investment strategies from time to time without notice to the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Investment Fund Managers will be able to select or implement successful strategies or achieve their respective investment objectives.

B) Investment Funds Not Registered - The Fund is registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act is designed to afford various protections to investors in pooled investment vehicles. For example, the 1940 Act imposes limits on the amount of leverage that a registered investment company can assume, restricts layering of costs and fees, restricts transactions with affiliated persons and requires that the investment company’s operations be supervised by a board of directors, a majority of whose members are independent of management. However, most of the Investment Funds in which the Fund invests are not subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act. Many Investment Fund Managers may not be registered as investment advisers under the Advisers Act. As an indirect investor in the Investment Funds managed by Investment Fund Managers that are not registered as investment advisers, the Fund will not have the benefit of certain of the protections of the Advisers Act. The Investment Funds generally are exempted from regulation under the 1940 Act because they permit investment only by investors who meet very high thresholds of investment experience and sophistication, as measured by net worth. The Fund’s investment qualification thresholds are generally lower. As a result, the Fund provides an avenue for investing in Investment Funds that would not otherwise be available to certain investors. This means that investors who would not otherwise qualify to meet the initial subscription threshold would qualify to indirectly invest in largely unregulated vehicles and will have the opportunity to make such an investment through the Fund.

C) Maintenance of Security and Other Assets in The Custody of a Bank - The Investment Funds typically do not maintain their securities and other assets in the custody of a bank or a member of a securities exchange, as generally required of registered investment companies, in accordance with certain SEC rules. A registered investment company, which places its securities in the custody of a bank or member of a securities exchange, is required to have a written custodian agreement, which provides that securities held in custody will be at all times individually segregated from the securities of any other person and marked to clearly identify such securities as the property of such investment company and which contains other provisions designed to protect the assets of such investment company. The Investment Funds in which the Fund invests may maintain custody of their assets with brokerage firms which do not separately segregate such customer assets as would be required in the case of registered investment companies, or may not use a custodian to hold their assets. Under the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, as amended, the bankruptcy of any brokerage firm used to hold Investment Fund assets could have a greater adverse effect on the Fund than would be the case if custody of assets were maintained in accordance with the requirements applicable to registered investment companies. There is also a risk that an Investment Fund Manager could convert assets committed to it by the Fund to its own use or that a custodian could convert assets committed to it by an Investment Fund Manager to its own use. There can be no assurance that the Investment Fund Managers or the entities they manage will comply with all applicable laws and that assets entrusted to the Investment Fund Managers will be protected.

D) Investment Funds are Generally Non-Diversified - While there are no regulatory requirements that the investments of the Investment Funds be diversified, some Investment Funds may undertake to comply with certain investment concentration limits. Investment Funds may at certain times hold large positions in a relatively limited number of investments. Investment Funds may target or concentrate their investments in particular markets, sectors or industries. Those Investment Funds that concentrate in a specific industry or target a specific sector will also be subject to the risks of that industry or sector, which may include, but are not limited to, rapid obsolescence of technology, sensitivity

to regulatory changes, minimal barriers to entry and sensitivity to overall market swings. As a result, the NAVs of such Investment Funds may be subject to greater volatility than those of investment companies that are subject to diversification requirements, and this may negatively impact the NAV of the Fund.

E) Investment Funds’ Securities are Generally Illiquid - The securities of the Investment Funds in which the Fund invests or plans to invest will generally be illiquid. Subscriptions to purchase the securities of Investment Funds are typically subject to restrictions or delays. Similarly, the Fund may not be able to dispose of Investment Fund interests that it has purchased in a timely manner and, if adverse market conditions were to develop during any period in which the Fund is unable to sell Investment Fund interests, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than that which prevailed when it acquired or subscribed for such interests, and this may negatively impact the NAV of the Fund.

F) Investment Fund Operations Not Transparent - The Adviser does not control the investments or operations of the Investment Funds. An Investment Fund Manager may employ investment strategies that differ from its past practices and are not fully disclosed to the Adviser and that involve risks that are not anticipated by the Adviser. Some Investment Fund Managers may have a limited operating history, and some may have limited experience in executing one or more investment strategies to be employed for an Investment Fund. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the information given to the Administrator (defined in Note 8) and reports given to the Adviser with respect to the Fund’s underlying investment will not be fraudulent, inaccurate or incomplete.

G) Investments in Investment Funds of Foreign Investment Fund Managers - These investments may carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in Investment Funds of domestic Investment Fund Managers. Such risks include adverse future political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those countries. Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments on their capital markets by foreign entities, including restriction on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to the relevant nation’s interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available or result in lack of liquidity and high valuation volatility.

4. Market Risk

The Fund is subject to market risk, which means the value of the Shares will fluctuate based on market conditions and Shareholders could lose money. The value of the Shares could also decline significantly and unexpectedly, based on many factors, including national and international political, economic, or regulatory developments, interest rate levels, market, or other conditions, as well as global events such as war, military conflict or other conflict, natural or environmental disasters and infectious disease outbreaks. Events in the financial markets and in the broader economy may cause uncertainty and volatility and may adversely affect Fund performance. Events in one market may impact other markets. Future events may impact the Fund in unforeseen ways.

Various countries have also seen significant internal conflicts and, in some cases, civil wars may have had an adverse impact on the securities markets of the countries concerned. In addition, the occurrence of new disturbances due to acts of war or terrorism or other political developments cannot be excluded. Nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes, government regulation, political, regulatory or social instability or uncertainty or diplomatic developments, including the imposition of sanctions or other similar measures, could adversely affect the Fund’s investments.

The impairment or failure of certain financial institutions, namely banks, may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. The failure of a bank (or banks) with which the Fund and/or the Fund’s underlying investments have a commercial relationship could adversely affect, among other things, the Fund and/or the Fund’s underlying investments’ ability to pursue key strategic initiatives, including by affecting the Fund’s ability to borrow from financial institutions on favorable terms.

Additionally, if the sponsor of an Investment Fund has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, the Investment Fund and/or its portfolio companies may experience issues receiving financial support from a sponsor to support its operations or consummate transactions, to the detriment of their business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

March 31, 2026 (Continued) 

Climate change may pose long-term risks to physical and biological systems, including increased severity of wildfires, coastal flooding, erosion, and storms. Such events could adversely impact the financial condition of states, municipalities, and other issuers, and may negatively affect property values and the viability of certain industries. These factors could materially impact the Fund and negatively affect the value and performance of the Fund’s investments.

Advancements in technology, including the development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence, may adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Fund. As technology evolves, liquidity and market movements may be affected, and the profitability and growth of Fund holdings could be significantly impacted.

5. Foreign Currency Risk

Although the Fund invests predominantly in the United States, the Fund’s portfolio includes investments in different currencies. Any returns on, and the value of such investments may, therefore, be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations, local exchange control, limited liquidity of the relevant foreign exchange markets, the convertibility of the currencies in question and/or other factors. A decline in the value of the currencies in Fund investments that are denominated against the U.S. dollar may result in a decrease of the Fund’s NAV. The Adviser may or may not elect to hedge the value of investments made by the Fund against currency fluctuations, and even if the Adviser deems hedging appropriate, it may not be possible or practicable to hedge currency risk exposure. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected by such currency fluctuations.

6. Capital Share Transactions

The offering of Shares in the Fund are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Shares have been and are expected to be offered quarterly at the NAV per Share as of the date such Shares are purchased.

The Board may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, cause the Fund to repurchase Shares from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders at such times and on such terms and conditions as established by the Board. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Shares, the Board considers the recommendation of the Adviser, as well as a variety of other operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser anticipates recommending to the Board that, under normal market circumstances, the Fund conduct tender offers of no more than 7% of the Fund’s net assets quarterly on or about each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Shareholder’s purchase of such Shares.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund completed one tender offer. The results were as follows:

7. Fair Value Disclosures

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurement). The guidance establishes three levels of fair value as listed below.

Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable.

The notion of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Under Level 3, the owner of an asset must determine fair value based on its own assumptions about what market participants would take into account in determining the fair value of the asset, using the best information available.

The inputs or methodology for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement; however, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. Private equity funds are generally restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and restrictions on resale and are not traded in public markets. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to resell such investments for extended periods, if at all.

As the Fund uses the NAV as a practical expedient to determine the fair value of certain Investment Funds, these investments have not been classified in the GAAP fair value hierarchy.

The following table is a summary of information about the levels within the fair value hierarchy at which the Fund’s investments are measured as of March 31, 2026:

Transfers into Level 3 during the period represent investments being valued by management using unobservable inputs as an adjustment to reported fair values. Transfers out of Level 3 during the period represent investments that are being measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.

8. Investment Management Fee and Other Expenses

A) Investment Management Fee and Incentive Fee - The Fund pays the Adviser an investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) in consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays the Adviser a quarterly Investment Management Fee equal to 1.25% on an annualized basis of NAV. For purposes of determining the Investment Management Fee payable to the Adviser for any quarter, NAV is calculated prior to any reduction for any fees and expenses of the Fund for that quarter, including, without limitation, the Investment Management Fee payable to the Adviser for that quarter.

In addition, at the end of each calendar quarter of the Fund, the Adviser will be entitled to receive an amount (the “Incentive Fee”) equal to 10% of the excess, if any, of (i) the net profits of the Fund for the relevant period over (ii) the then balance, if any, of the Loss Recovery Account (as defined below). For the purposes of the Incentive Fee, the term “net profits” shall mean the amount by which the NAV of the Fund on the last day of the relevant period exceeds the NAV of the Fund as of the commencement of the same period, including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses (including offering and organizational expenses). The Fund will maintain a memorandum account (the “Loss Recovery Account”), which will have an initial balance of zero and will be (i) increased upon the close of each calendar quarter of the Fund by the amount of the net losses of the Fund for the quarter, and (ii) decreased (but not below zero) upon the close of each calendar quarter by the amount of the net profits of the Fund for the quarter. Shareholders will benefit from the Loss Recovery Account in proportion to their holdings of Shares.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Adviser has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise be paid by the Fund, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a “Waiver”), if required to ensure the Total Annual Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, other transaction-related expenses, any extraordinary expenses of the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses, and the Incentive Fee) do not exceed 2.80% on an annualized basis for Class A Shares (Class A share are not currently being offered), 2.25% on an annualized basis of Class D Shares, 1.95% on an annualized basis for Class I Shares, and 1.95%

26

FlowStone Opportunity Fund

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Continued) 

on an annualized basis for Class M Shares (the “Expense Limit”). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Adviser may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided it is able to effect such recoupment without causing the Fund’s expense ratio (after recoupment) to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limit in effect at the time of the Waiver, and (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of recoupment. The Expense Limitation Agreement will continue until at least April 1, 2027, and will automatically renew thereafter for consecutive twelve-month terms, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the Trustees. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated by the Board upon thirty days’ written notice to the Adviser. As of March 31, 2026, all eligible waivers have been recouped.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Distribution and Service Plan”) for Class A Shares and Class D Shares in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Only Class D shares are currently offered. The Distribution and Service Plan allows the Fund to pay distribution and servicing fees for the sale and servicing of its Class A and Class D Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund will be permitted to pay as compensation up to a maximum of 0.85% per year on Class A Shares and up to a maximum of 0.30% per year on Class D Shares on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to each class (the “Distribution and Servicing Fee”) to the Fund’s Distributor (defined below) and/or other qualified recipients. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of an investment and may cost more than paying other types of sales charges. Class I and Class M Shares are not subject to the Distribution and Servicing Fee.

B) Administration, Accounting, and Transfer Agent Fees - Pursuant to an agreement between the Fund and UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator”), the Administrator provides administration, fund accounting, and assists with compliance services to the Fund. The Fund pays the Administrator a basis point fee, subject to fee minimums, for various administration, fund accounting, and investor accounting and taxation services to the Fund, as well as certain out of pocket expenses.

C) Distribution – Distribution Services, LLC, a broker dealer (the “Distributor”), is engaged by the Fund to serve as the Fund’s distributor. The Distributor may retain additional unaffiliated broker-dealers to assist in the distribution of Shares.

D) Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer Fees - Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC provides chief compliance officer and chief financial officer services to the Fund under a Fund CCO Agreement and a Fund CFO Agreement.

E) Custodian Fees – UMB Bank n.a. serves as the custodian for the Fund’s assets and is responsible for maintaining custody of the Fund’s cash.

F) Fund Borrowing – The Fund entered into a line of credit agreement (the “TriState Credit Agreement”) with TriState Capital Bank on January 9, 2024. The terms of the TriState Credit Agreement provided a $50,000,000 committed, secured revolving credit facility. The TriState Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee of 0.85% per annum on unused capacity plus interest accruing on any borrowed amounts, for any day, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate, and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund did not borrow from this credit facility. The TriState Credit Agreement matured on January 8, 2026.

The Fund entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Royal Bank of Canada on March 30, 2026. The Credit Agreement matures on March 30, 2028. The terms of the Credit Agreement provide a $200,000,000 committed, secured revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement will be secured by the Fund’s underlying assets, with an interest rate equal to either the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.70%, or the Prime Rate, depending on the tranche selected and the borrower’s election. Additional costs include a 68 basis point unused line fee and a 10 basis point annual closing/extension fee. The Credit Agreement also includes a 50% minimum utilization threshold, which will become effective in the third quarter following closing.

9. Federal Income Taxes

It is the Fund’s intention to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that are applicable to a regulated investment company (“RIC”). The Fund intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Fund is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. While the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, in a manner necessary to minimize the imposition of a 4%

27

FlowStone Opportunity Fund

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Continued) 

excise tax, there can be no assurance that it will avoid any or all of the excise tax. In such event, the Fund will be liable only for the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirements. The Fund has adopted September 30 as its tax year end.

If the Fund were to fail to meet the requirements of Subchapter M to qualify as a RIC, and if the Fund were ineligible to or otherwise were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, whether or not distributed to Shareholders, and all distributions out of earnings and profits would be taxable to Shareholders as ordinary income. In addition, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions before requalifying as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment under Subchapter M.

In accounting for income taxes, the Fund follows the guidance in FASB ASC Codification 740, as amended by ASU 2009-06, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has concluded, there were no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2026 for federal income tax purposes or in, the Fund’s major state and local tax jurisdiction of Delaware.

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect the applicable tax characterization. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. The tax basis components of distributable earnings may differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnership investments.

At September 30, 2025, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of Investments

$

632,947,771

Gross Unrealized Appreciation

$

215,087,915

Gross Unrealized Depreciation

$

(87,176,740

)

Net Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)

$

127,911,175

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. Permanent differences due to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of income, gain and losses and return of capital on certain partnership transactions resulted in reclassifications to increase total distributable earnings by $6,910,792 and decrease paid-in capital by $6,910,792 as of September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025 the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed long-term gains

As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had qualified late-year ordinary losses of $13,195,228, which are deferred until fiscal year 2026 for tax purposes. Net late year losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the funds next taxable year.

10. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $65,115,802 and $1,564,747, respectively.

11. Indemnification

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Board are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their services to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

12. Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had outstanding investment commitments to Investment Funds totaling approximately $164,631,038.

13. Subsequent Events

The Fund’s Adviser entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement under which Towers Watson Investment Services, Inc. (“Towers Watson” and, together with its parent Willis Towers Watson US LLC, “WTW”) would acquire all of the Membership interests of the Adviser (the Acquisition”). Following the successful proxy vote, the transaction closed on April 1, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Effective April 1, 2026, the Adviser has agreed, for a period of at least two-years from April 1, 2026, to reduce the Investment Management Fee rate applicable to the Fund pursuant an Investment Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement in which the Adviser agrees to waive 0.25% of the Investment Management Fee set forth in the Investment Management Agreement such that the Investment Management Fee payable under the Investment Management Agreement is 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s NAV.

FlowStone Opportunity Fund

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the Board of Trustees of FlowStone Opportunity Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of FlowStone Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2026, the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements and financial highlights”). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, and the results of its operations, its cash flows, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The consolidated statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2025, and the financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, were audited by predecessor auditors whose report dated May 30, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights 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 Fund 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 audit 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit 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 Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and underlying fund managers and advisers; when replies were not received from underlying fund managers and advisers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On February 25, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Fund, selected, appointed and recommended Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, in replacement of PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) which served previously as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.

PwC’s reports on the Fund’s financial statements for either of the past two fiscal years, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years of the Fund ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through February 25, 2026, (i) there were no disagreements between the Fund and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the financial statements for such period and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

During the two most recent fiscal years of the Fund ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, and during the subsequent interim period prior to appointing Deloitte, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Deloitte on behalf of the Fund regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements, or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) a “reportable event,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Fund provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that PwC furnish the Fund with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PwC agrees with the above statements.

Board Consideration of the Investment Management Agreement

At a special meeting of the previous members of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” and the members thereof, “Trustees”) of the FlowStone Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) held on December 19, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”) voting separately, determined to recommend that shareholders approve a new investment management agreement between the Fund and FlowStone Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”) to replace the then-current investment management agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “New Management Agreement”). The New Management Agreement was made in connection with and as a condition of a unit purchase agreement pursuant to which Towers Watson Investment Services, Inc. (“Towers Watson” and, together with its parent Willis Towers Watson US LLC, “WTW”) would acquire all of the membership interests of the Adviser (the “Acquisition”).

In considering information relating to the approval of the New Management Agreement, the Board and the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from Fund counsel and from the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel, including a written description of their responsibilities in considering the New Management Agreement.

Independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, had previously requested a variety of information from the Adviser, which the Adviser provided to the Board in advance of the Meeting. At the Meeting, the Trustees discussed those materials and the Acquisition with representatives of the Adviser, including the strategic rationale for the Acquisition, and Towers Watson’s general plans and intentions regarding the operations and management of the Adviser and the Fund.

At the Meeting, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, at which no representative of either the Adviser or WTW was present.

In making the decision to approve the New Management Agreement, the Independent Trustees gave attention to all information furnished. The following discussion identifies the primary factors taken into account by the Board in approving the New Management Agreement. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

The nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser. The Board considered the materials provided describing the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, as well as the information provided by both the Adviser and WTW. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Fund, the Board considered, among other things: that the terms of the New Management Agreement are identical to the terms of the Existing Management Agreement with respect to services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund; that the Adviser’s services would not change and the current portfolio management team would be supplemented by individuals from WTW; the Adviser’s access to additional capital for the Fund and the acceleration of the distribution of the Fund across multiple channels; WTW’s compliance and operational environment, as well as its financial condition and resources; and the fact that, as a result of the Acquisition, the Adviser will have access to significant additional resources, including WTW’s established internal and external distribution relationships. The Board also considered that the Adviser anticipates recommending the Fund return to regular subscription and repurchase activity should the Acquisition be consummated, as well as potential alternatives for the Fund presented by the Adviser should the Acquisition not be consummated, including a possible secondary sale of the Fund’s portfolio and an orderly liquidation of the Fund’s portfolio.

Other Information

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Based on its consideration and review of the foregoing and other information, the Board determined that the Fund was likely to benefit from the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s ability to render such services based on its experience, operations, and resources, as well as the experience, operations and resources of WTW.

Comparison of the fees to be charged by the Adviser. The Board considered the Adviser’s proposed fee structure, noting that it was identical to the structure under the Existing Management Agreement. The Board also noted that the Adviser has agreed to reduce the Investment Management Fee rate applicable to the Fund by 0.25% pursuant to an Investment Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement where the Investment Management Fee payable pursuant to the New Management Agreement would be 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s net asset value. It was noted that the Investment Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement would remain in effect for at least two-years from the effective date of the New Management Agreement. In addition, the Board compared the Adviser’s management and incentive fees to the management and incentive fees charged to similarly-situated funds offered by competitors of the Adviser, and noted that the Fund’s management fees were generally lower than those other funds’ fees and that while not all of those funds’ charged incentive fees, the Fund’s incentive was comparable with those funds that do. Accordingly, the Board determined that the fees for the New Management Agreement were reasonable.

Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale have been realized and whether fee levels reflect those economies, considering in this regard that the Fund’s gross expense ratio has declined as the Fund’s assets have grown and noted that the Adviser’s existing relationship with the Fund was profitable for the Adviser. In addition, the Board noted the Adviser’s statements regarding anticipated new capital for the Fund if the Acquisition closes, and that an increase in the size of the Fund could allow the Fund to engage in a wider variety of transactions, and also could create additional liquidity and allow for the resumption of shareholder redemptions.

Other Factors. The Board noted that the Acquisition is structured to comply with all of the requirements of Section 15(f), thus allowing the Adviser to rely upon the safe harbor afforded by Section 15(f). In addition, the Board noted that the Adviser and WTW have agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund in connection with the Board’s consideration of the New Management Agreement and all costs of the proxy solicitation. As a result, the Fund will bear no costs in seeking shareholder approval of the New Management Agreement other than expenses expected to be incurred by the Current Trustees and the Trustee Nominees in connection with the Acquisition or the proxy solicitation and reimbursed by the Fund in the ordinary course.

Conclusion. Based on the totality of the information considered, the Board concluded that the Fund was likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services and that the Adviser has the ability to provide these services based on its experience, operations and resources, as well as the experience, operations and resources of WTW. After evaluation of the performance, fee and expense information, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Management Agreement and determined to recommend that shareholders approve the New Management Agreement.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures Summary

 

Investments in the Investment Funds do not typically convey traditional voting rights, and the occurrence of corporate governance or other consent or voting matters for this type of investment is substantially less than that encountered in connection with registered equity securities. However, FlowStone Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) may occasionally receive notices or proposals from its Investment Funds seeking the consent of or voting by holders (“proxies”). The Fund has delegated any voting of proxies in respect of portfolio holdings to FlowStone Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”) to vote the proxies in accordance with the Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines and procedures. In general, the Adviser believes that voting proxies in accordance with the policies described below will be in the best interests of the Fund.

 

 

 

 

The Adviser will generally vote to support management recommendations relating to routine matters, such as the election of board members (where no corporate governance issues are implicated) or the selection of independent auditors. The Adviser will generally vote in favor of management or investor proposals that the Adviser believes will maintain or strengthen the shared interests of investors and management, increase value for investors and maintain or increase the rights of investors. On non-routine matters, the Adviser will generally vote in favor of management proposals for mergers or reorganizations and investor rights plans, so long as it believes such proposals are in the best economic interests of the Fund. In exercising its voting discretion, the Adviser will seek to avoid any direct or indirect conflict of interest presented by the voting decision. If any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the matter to be voted on presents an actual or potential conflict of interest involving the Adviser, the Adviser will make written disclosure of the conflict to the Independent Trustees indicating how the Adviser proposes to vote on the matter and its reasons for doing so.

 

The Fund intends to hold its interests in the Investment Funds in non-voting form. Where only voting securities are available for purchase by the Fund, in all, or substantially all, instances, the Fund will seek to create by contract the same result as owning a non-voting security by entering into a contract, typically before the initial purchase, to relinquish the right to vote in respect of its investment.

 

ITEM 13. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

(a)(1) Identification of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members and Description of Role of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members.

 

The following table provides biographical information about the members of the Adviser who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund as of March 31, 2026:

Scott P. Conners, CFA Managing Director Since Inception Managing Director, FlowStone Partners, LLC (since March 2019); Managing Director, Cresset SPG, LLC, from 2017 to 2019; Partner and Member of the Private Equity Investment Committee at Landmark Partners, LLC from 2003-2015 (employee since 1993)

Conflicts of Interest

 

The Adviser may, from time to time, be presented with investment opportunities that fall within the investment objective of the Fund and other investment funds and/or accounts managed by the Adviser, and in such circumstances the Adviser will allocate such opportunities among the Fund and such other funds and/or accounts under procedures intended to result in allocations that are fair and equitable taking into account the sourcing of the transaction, the nature of the investment focus of each fund, including the Fund, and/or account, the relative amounts of capital available for investment, and other considerations deemed relevant by the Adviser in good faith. Where there is an insufficient amount of an investment opportunity to satisfy the Fund and other investment funds and/or accounts managed by the Adviser, the allocation policy provides that allocations between the Fund and other investment funds and/or accounts will generally be made pro rata based on the amount that each such party would have invested if sufficient amounts of an investment opportunity were available. The Adviser’s allocation policy provides that in circumstances where pro rata allocation is not practicable or possible, investment opportunities will be allocated on a random or rotational basis that is fair and equitable over time. In addition, the Adviser’s Investment Committee will review allocations. Not all other investment funds and/or accounts managed by Adviser have the same fees and certain other investment funds and/or accounts managed by the Adviser may have a higher management fee than the Fund or a performance-based fee. If the fee structure of another investment fund and/or account is more advantageous to the Adviser than the fee structure of the Fund, the Adviser could have an incentive to favor the other fund and/or account over the Fund.
