Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
On March 19, 2015, the Issuer completed its final private placement of its Common Units by entering into additional subscription agreements with certain investors for the subscription of 5,686,188 Common Units (the “March 2015 Private Placement”). The Reporting Persons did not acquire any Common Units in connection with the March 2015 Private Placement. Following the March 2015 Private Placement, there were 20,134,698 Common Units outstanding. As a result of the increase in the Issuer’s Common Units outstanding: (i) GIC’s beneficial ownership percentage decreased from approximately 27.7% to approximately 19.9%; (ii) Celui’s beneficial ownership percentage decreased from approximately 20.8% to approximately 14.9%; and (iii) Euthalia’s beneficial ownership percentage decreased from approximately 6.9% to approximately 5.0%.

On July 11, 2022, the Issuer’s members approved a reduction in undrawn commitments by $10.43 per unit, resulting in an approximately 41.18% reduction in overall remaining capital commitments (the “Commitment Reduction”). As a result of the Commitment Reduction, the total number of Common Units outstanding was reduced from 20,134,698 to 18,034,649 Common Units outstanding. In connection with the Commitment Reduction, each Reporting Person’s ownership of Common Units was proportionately reduced, but such reduction had no impact on each Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership percentage. As a result of the Commitment Reduction: (i) GIC’s beneficial ownership decreased from 4,000,000 Common Units to 3,582,800 Common Units; (ii) Celui’s beneficial ownership decreased from 3,000,000 Common Units to 2,687,100 Common Units; and (iii) Euthalia’s beneficial ownership decreased from 1,000,000 Common Units to 895,700 Common Units.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a)-(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
(a, b) The aggregate number of Common Units and the percentage of total outstanding Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as of the date hereof is set forth below:
 
 
Reporting Person
Number of Common Units Beneficially
Owned
Percentage of
Outstanding
Common Units
GIC
3,582,800
19.9%
Celui
2,687,100
14.9%
Euthalia
895,700
5.0%
 
Celui is the direct owner of 2,687,100 Common Units and shares the power to vote and the power to dispose of all such Common Units with GIC. Euthalia is the direct owner of 895,700 Common Units and shares the power to vote and the power to dispose of all such Common Units with GIC.
 
GIC manages the investments of Celui and Euthalia, and as such, pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, GIC may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Common Units beneficially owned by Celui and Euthalia.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is a member of a “group,” and each Reporting Person expressly disclaims any assertion or presumption that it and the other persons disclosed in this Schedule 13D constitute a “group.”
