We believe earnings and </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">revenue growth relative to consensus expectations are critical factors in determining stock price movements. Thus, our </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">investment process focuses on identifying companies with robust and sustainable growth in revenue and earnings that </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">are underappreciated by the market. To find that growth, we use bottom-up research, emphasizing companies whose </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">management teams have a history of successfully executing their strategy and whose business model have sufficient </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">profit potential. We forecast revenue and earnings growth along with other key financial metrics to assess investment </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">potential. We then combine that company-specific analysis with our assessment of what the market is discounting for </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">growth to form a buy/sell decision about a particular stock. We seek to capitalize on investment opportunities where a </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">sizable gap exists between market consensus and our expectation for a company’s growth prospects. We may invest in </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">any sector and, at times, we may emphasize one or more particular sectors. In addition, our investment process is built </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">on a foundation of continuous risk management and a strict sell discipline. We sell a company’s securities when we see </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">signs that can cause a company’s growth prospects to deteriorate, as this often leads to lower valuation potential. We </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">may also sell or trim a position when we need to raise money to fund the purchase of a better investment </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">opportunity or when valuation has extended beyond our expectations.</span></div>

factors rather than broader market factors) to execute our investment philosophy which focuses on </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">identifying
three core alpha (i.e., excess returns relative to an index) drivers: value, quality partner, and contrarian. First </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">and
foremost, we believe a prospective company should possess attractive value characteristics such as being priced </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">at
a discount relative to peers and the company’s own historic valuation metrics. We also seek companies that are </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">shareholder-friendly
quality partner firms demonstrating favorable cash flow generating capabilities and that have the </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">management,

we believe are contrarian characteristics and be in a unique position for value creation, yet, overlooked by the </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">investment
community. As part of our investment process, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">evaluated
