ANTIN // 2021 Universal Registration Document

PRESENTATION OF ANTIN 1 Regulatory environment Going forward, Antin will be subject to Article 29 of the French Energy Transition Law, which was updated in 2021. Article 29 and its implementing decree ( décret ) no. 2021-663 dated 27 May 2021 cover climate and biodiversity reporting, requiring investors to disclose portfolio biodiversity- and climate-related risks and strategies for impact reduction, as well as calculate and publish the portion of their assets aligned with the EU taxonomy. Sustainable finance disclosure regulation Antin is subject to the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“ SFDR ”) no 2019-2088 of 27 November 2019, which imposes mandatory environmental, social and governance disclosure obligations for asset managers and other financial market participants operating in the European Union. The SFDR requires asset managers, such as AIP SAS, to provide prescript and standardised disclosures on how sustainability factors are integrated at both an entity and product level, on their websites, as well as in their prospectuses and periodic reports. The main provisions (Level 1) of the SFDR relating to entity-level disclosures have been effective since 10 March 2021. The more detailed provisions (Level 2) relating to entity- and product-level disclosures apply since 01 January 2022. The SFDR additionally requires asset managers to classify their funds according to one of three categories based on a fund’s degree of sustainability. Antin’s Flagship and Mid Cap funds are currently considered to be Article 6 funds, while NextGen Fund I is an Article 8 fund. In compliance with the regulation, information on classification will be disclosed in pre-contractual documents and in fund annual reports. Article 75 of the Grenelle II Law Although Antin’s workforce of less than 500 employees precludes Antin from corporate carbon footprinting requirements under Article 75 of the Grenelle II Law no 2010-788 of 12 July 2010, Antin voluntarily adheres to the regulation, having assessed its carbon footprint annually since 2018, and developing accompanying mitigation plans. Non-Financial reporting directive Antin has additionally chosen to voluntarily comply with the decree ( décret ) no. 2017-1265 on the Declaration of the Per formance of Extra-Financial Information (“ DPEF ”), which transposes the European Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) 2014/95/EU into French law. The regulation requires European public interest companies of more than 500 employees to report on specific non-financial information related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. In voluntary compliance with this law, Antin has chosen to publish its first annual DPEF, which can be found in Section 4 “ Sustainability ” of this Universal Registration Document.

1.7.3.2 The European passporting system European asset management companies may market units or shares in AIFs to professional clients in the European Union or in a state party to the agreement on the European Economic Area (“ EEA ”) through the passporting system. European asset management companies may also manage AIFs established in another member state of the European Union through the passporting system. There are two ways of benefiting from the European management passport: 3 “freedom to provide services” allows an asset management company to conduct certain activities in another Member State of the European Union or a state party to the agreement on the EEA. A passport may be granted for three types of asset management activities (other than UCITS management, which is not per formed by Antin): (i) the management of AIFs, (ii) third-party portfolio management and (iii) the performance of other MIFID services; or 3 “freedom of establishment” allows an asset management company to establish branches in another Member State of the European Union or in a state party to the agreement on the EEA. AIP SAS manages Luxembourg-based AIFs on a cross-border basis through the “freedom to provide services” in Luxembourg. AIP SAS markets units or shares of the Antin Funds in the European Union through European marketing passports. 1.7.3.3 Regulations relating to money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities Asset managers and investment service providers are required to report to the anti-money laundering unit under the authority of the French Minister of the Economy, Tracfin (the acronym translates as Intelligence Processing and Action Against Circuits of Illegal Financing ). Such reports must detail any amounts recorded in their accounts that are suspected to have been derived from drug trafficking or organised crime, any unusual transactions exceeding certain amounts and any amounts recorded or transactions suspected to have resulted from an offence punishable by a term of imprisonment of at least one year, or which may be used to finance terrorism. Regulated institutions such as Antin are subject to due diligence requirements, including the obligation to establish (i) procedures relating to the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism and allowing for the identification of customers (including beneficial owners) for any transaction and (ii) systems to evaluate and manage risks relating to money laundering and financing of terrorism. They also need to ensure that customers are not listed on one or more financial sanctions lists, such as the lists maintained by the Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (acting on behalf of the European Commission), the UK Office of Financial Sanctions or the US Office of Foreign Assets Control.
