In the case of a Joint Venture or a BDC Downstream Fund (as applicable) that does not have a chief compliance officer or a Board, the chief compliance officer of the Regulated Fund will be deemed to be the Joint Venture's or BDC Downstream Fund's chief compliance officer, and the Joint Venture's or BDC Downstream Fund's investment committee will be deemed to be the Joint Venture's or BDC Downstream Fund's Board. |

| II. | GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANTS |
| A. | ACAP |
ACAP was formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on June 26, 2009 and formally commenced investment operations on March 1, 2010. ACAP is a diversified, externally managed registered closed-end management investment company that operates as an interval fund pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. ACAP intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. ACAP's principal place of business is c/o SilverBay Capital Management LLC, 350 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
ACAP's investment objective is to achieve maximum capital appreciation. ACAP has a three-member board (the "ACAP Board") of which two members are not "interested" persons of ACAP, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.10
| B. | IAF |
IAF was formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on January 18, 2022. IAF is a non-diversified, externally managed registered closed-end management investment company that intends to provide periodic liquidity with respect to its shares through periodic repurchase offers pursuant to Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. IAF intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. IAF's principal place of business c/o SilverBay Capital Management LLC, 350 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
IAF's investment objective is to generate maximum capital appreciation. IAF has a four-member board (the "IAF Board" and together, with the ACAP Board and the board of any Future Regulated Fund, the "Board") of which three members are not "interested" persons of IAF, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.
| C. | The Existing Affiliated Funds |
Each Existing Affiliated Fund is a Delaware limited partnership that is a privately-offered fund, whose investment adviser or sub-adviser is Alkeon, and that would be an "investment company" but for Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. 11
The Existing Affiliated Funds pursue strategies focused on investing in a variety of equity or equity-related securities. The Existing Affiliated Funds have generally similar investment objectives to, and may have overlapping positions with, the Existing Regulated Funds, but they typically target different portfolio risk/return characteristics and liquidity constraints. As a result, the Existing Affiliated Funds may invest on a longer or shorter basis, invest in a less diversified manner or hold a significantly greater number of more speculative or less liquid positions than the Existing Regulated Funds.
| 10 | The Board of each Future Regulated Fund will consist of a majority of members who are not "interested persons" of such Future Regulated Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Act. |
| 11 | In the future, the Affiliated Fund may register as a closed-end management investment company under the Act and, if so registered, will be considered a Regulated Fund for purposes of this application. |
5

| III. | ORDER REQUESTED |
The Applicants request an Order of the Commission under Sections 17(d) and 57(i) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder to permit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Application (the "Conditions"), each Regulated Fund to be able to participate with one or more Affiliated Entities in Co-Investment Transactions otherwise prohibited by Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder.
6
| A. | Applicable Law |
Section 17(d), in relevant part, prohibits an affiliated person, or an affiliated person of such affiliated person, of a registered investment company, acting as principal, from effecting any transaction in which the registered investment company is "a joint or a joint and several participant with such person" in contravention of such rules as the SEC may prescribe "for the purpose of limiting or preventing participation by such [fund] on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of such other participant."
Rule 17d-1 prohibits an affiliated person, or an affiliated person of such affiliated person, of a registered investment company, acting as principal, from participating in, or effecting any transaction in connection with, any "joint enterprise or other joint arrangement or profit-sharing plan"12 in which the fund is a participant without first obtaining an order from the SEC.
Section 57(a)(4), in relevant part, prohibits any person related to a business development company in the manner described in Section 57(b), acting as principal, from knowingly effecting any transaction in which the business development company is a joint or a joint and several participant with such persons in contravention of such rules as the Commission may prescribe for the purpose of limiting or preventing participation by the business development company on a basis less advantageous than that of such person. Section 57(i) provides that, until the SEC prescribes rules under Section 57(a), the SEC's rules under Section 17(d) applicable to registered closed-end investment companies will be deemed to apply to persons subject to the prohibitions of Section 57(a). Because the SEC has not adopted any rules under Section 57(a), Rule 17d-1 applies to persons subject to the prohibitions of Section 57(a).
Rule 17d-1(b) provides, in relevant part, that in passing upon applications under the rule, the Commission will consider whether the participation of a registered investment company in a joint enterprise, joint arrangement or profit-sharing plan on the basis proposed is consistent with the provisions, policies and purposes of the 1940 Act and the extent to which such participation is on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants.
| B. | Need for Relief |
Each Regulated Fund may be deemed to be an affiliated person of each other Regulated Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) if it is deemed to be under common control because an Adviser is or will be either the investment adviser or sub-adviser to each Regulated Fund. Section 17(d) and Section 57(b) apply to any investment adviser to a closed-end fund or a business development company, respectively, including a sub-adviser. Thus, an Adviser and any Affiliated Entities that it advises could be deemed to be persons related to Regulated Funds in a manner described by Sections 17(d) and 57(b). SilverBay is owned solely by Alkeon, and thus they are affiliated persons of each other. Accordingly, with respect to SilverBay and Alkeon, and any other Advisers that are deemed to be affiliated persons of each other, Affiliated Entities advised by any of them could be deemed to be persons related to Regulated Funds (or a company controlled by a Regulated Fund) in a manner described by Sections 17(d) and 57(b). In addition, any entities or accounts controlled by or under common control with SilverBay, Alkeon, and/or any other Advisers that are deemed to be affiliated persons of each other that may, from time to time, hold various financial assets in a principal capacity, could be deemed to be persons related to Regulated Funds (or a company controlled by a Regulated Fund) in a manner described by Sections 17(d) and 57(b). Finally, with respect to any Wholly-Owned Investment Sub, Joint Venture, or BDC Downstream Fund of a Regulated Fund, such entity would be a company controlled by its parent Regulated Fund for purposes of Section 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-l under the 1940 Act.
| 12 | Rule 17d-1(c) defines a "[j]oint enterprise or other joint arrangement or profit-sharing plan" to include, in relevant part, "any written or oral plan, contract, authorization or arrangement or any practice or understanding concerning an enterprise or undertaking whereby a registered investment company … and any affiliated person of or principal underwriter for such registered company, or any affiliated person of such a person or principal underwriter, have a joint or a joint and several participation, or share in the profits of such enterprise or undertaking …." |
7
| C. | Conditions |
Applicants agree that any Order granting the requested relief will be subject to the following Conditions.
1. Same Terms. With respect to any Co-Investment Transaction, each Regulated Fund, and Affiliated Entity participating in such transaction will acquire, or dispose of, as the case may be, the same class of securities, at the same time, for the same price and with the same conversion, financial reporting and registration rights, and with substantially the same other terms (provided that the settlement date for an Affiliated Entity may occur up to ten business days after the settlement date for the Regulated Fund, and vice versa). If a Participant, but not all of the Regulated Funds, has the right to nominate a director for election to a portfolio company's board of directors, the right to appoint a board observer or any similar right to participate in the governance or management of a portfolio company, the Board of each Regulated Fund that does not hold this right must be given the opportunity to veto the selection of such person.13
2. Existing Investments in the Issuer. Prior to a Regulated Fund acquiring in a Co-Investment Transaction a security of an issuer in which an Affiliated Entity has an existing interest in such issuer, the "required majority," as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act,14 of the Regulated Fund ("Required Majority") will take the steps set forth in Section 57(f) of the 1940 Act,15 unless: (i) the Regulated Fund already holds the same security as each such Affiliated Entity; and (ii) the Regulated Fund and each other Affiliated Entity holding the security is participating in the acquisition in approximate proportion to its then-current holdings.
3. Related Expenses. Any expenses associated with acquiring, holding or disposing of any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, to the extent not borne by the Adviser(s), will be shared among the Participants in proportion to the relative amounts of the securities being acquired, held or disposed of, as the case may be.16
| 13 | Such a Board can also, consistent with applicable fund documents, facilitate this opportunity by delegating the authority to veto the selection of such person to a committee of the Board. |
| 14 | Section 57(o) defines the term "required majority," in relevant part, with respect to the approval of a proposed transaction, as both a majority of a BDC's directors who have no financial interest in the transaction and a majority of such directors who are not interested persons of the BDC. In the case of a Regulated Fund that is not a BDC, the Board members that constitute the Required Majority will be determined as if such Regulated Fund were a BDC subject to Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act. |
| 15 | Section 57(f) provides for the approval by a Required Majority of certain transactions on the basis that, in relevant part: (i) the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid or received, are reasonable and fair to the shareholders of the BDC and do not involve overreaching of the BDC or its shareholders on the part of any person concerned; (ii) the proposed transaction is consistent with the interests of the BDC's shareholders and the BDC's policy as recited in filings made by the BDC with the Commission and the BDC's reports to shareholders; and (iii) the BDC's directors record in their minutes and preserve in their records a description of the transaction, their findings, the information or materials upon which their findings were based, and the basis for their findings. |
| 16 | Expenses of an individual Participant that are incurred solely by the Participant due to its unique circumstances (such as legal and compliance expenses) will be borne by such Participant |
8
4. No Remuneration. Any transaction fee17 (including break-up, structuring, monitoring or commitment fees but excluding broker's fees contemplated by section 17(e) or 57(k) of the 1940 Act, as applicable), received by an Adviser and/or a Participant in connection with a Co-Investment Transaction will be distributed to the Participants on a pro rata basis based on the amounts they invested or committed, as the case may be, in such Co-Investment Transaction. If any transaction fee is to be held by an Adviser pending consummation of the transaction, the fee will be deposited into an account maintained by the Adviser at a bank or banks having the qualifications prescribed in section 26(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, and the account will earn a competitive rate of interest that will also be divided pro rata among the Participants based on the amount they invest in such Co-Investment Transaction. No Affiliated Entity, Regulated Fund, or any of their affiliated persons will accept any compensation, remuneration or financial benefit in connection with a Regulated Fund's participation in a Co-Investment Transaction, except: (i) to the extent permitted by Section 17(e) or 57(k) of the 1940 Act; (ii) as a result of either being a Participant in the Co-Investment Transaction or holding an interest in the securities issued by one of the Participants; or (iii) in the case of an Adviser, investment advisory compensation paid in accordance with investment advisory agreement(s) with the Regulated Fund(s) or Affiliated Entity(ies).
5. Co-Investment Policies. Each Adviser (and each Affiliated Entity that is not advised by an Adviser) will adopt and implement policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that: (i) opportunities to participate in Co-Investment Transactions are allocated in a manner that is fair and equitable to every Regulated Fund; and (ii) the Adviser negotiating the Co-Investment Transaction considers the interest in the Transaction of any participating Regulated Fund (the "Co-Investment Policies"). Each Adviser (and each Affiliated Entity that is not advised by an Adviser) will provide its Co-Investment Policies to the Regulated Funds and will notify the Regulated Funds of any material changes thereto.18
6. Dispositions:
(a) Prior to any Disposition19 by an Affiliated Entity of a security acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the Adviser to each Regulated Fund that participated in the Co-Investment Transaction will be notified and each such Regulated Fund given the opportunity to participate pro rata based on the proportion of its holdings relative to the other Affiliated Entities participating in such Disposition.
| 17 | Applicants are not requesting and the Commission is not providing any relief for transaction fees received in connection with any Co-Investment Transaction. |
| 18 | The Affiliated Entities may adopt shared Co-Investment Policies. |
| 19 | "Disposition" means the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of an interest in a security of an issuer. |
9
(b) Prior to any Disposition by a Regulated Fund of a security acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the Required Majority will take the steps set forth in Section 57(f) of the 1940 Act, unless: (i) each Affiliated Entity holding the security participates in the Disposition in approximate proportion to its then-current holding of the security; or (ii) the Disposition is a sale of a Tradable Security.20
7. Board Oversight
(a) Each Regulated Fund's directors will oversee the Regulated Fund's participation in the co-investment program in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment.
(b) Prior to a Regulated Fund's participation in Co-Investment Transactions, the Regulated Fund's Board, including a Required Majority, will: (i) review the Co-Investment Policies, to ensure that they are reasonably designed to prevent the Regulated Fund from being disadvantaged by participation in the co-investment program; and (ii) approve policies and procedures of the Regulated Fund that are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the terms of the Order.
(c) At least quarterly, each Regulated Fund's Adviser and chief compliance officer (as defined in Rule 38a-1(a)(4)) will provide the Regulated Fund Boards with reports or other information requested by the Board related to a Regulated Fund's participation in Co-Investment Transactions and a summary of matters, if any, deemed significant that may have arisen during the period related to the implementation of the Co-Investment Policies and the Regulated Fund's policies and procedures approved pursuant to (b) above.
(d) Every year, each Regulated Fund's Adviser and chief compliance officer will provide the Regulated Fund's Board with reports or other information requested by the Board related to the Regulated Fund's participation in the co-investment program and any material changes in the Affiliated Entities' participation in the co-investment program, including changes to the Affiliated Entities' Co-Investment Policies.
(e) The Adviser and the chief compliance officer will also notify the Regulated Fund's Board of a compliance matter related to the Regulated Fund's participation in the co-investment program and related Co-Investment Policies or the Regulated Fund's policies and procedures approved pursuant to (b) above that a Regulated Fund's chief compliance officer considers to be material.
8. Recordkeeping. All information presented to the Board pursuant to the order will be kept for the life of the Regulated Fund and at least two years thereafter, and will be subject to examination by the Commission and its Staff. Each Regulated Fund will maintain the records required by Section 57(f)(3) as if it were a business development company and each of the Co-Investment Transactions were approved by the Required Majority under Section 57(f).21
9. In the event that the Commission adopts a rule under the 1940 Act allowing co-investments of the type described in this Application, any relief granted by the Order will expire on the effective date of that rule.
| 20 | "Tradable Security" means a security which trades: (i) on a national securities exchange (or designated offshore securities market as defined in Rule 902(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and (ii) with sufficient volume and liquidity (findings which are to be made in good faith and documented by the Advisers to any Regulated Funds) to allow each Regulated Fund to dispose of its entire remaining position within 30 days at approximately the price at which the Regulated Fund has valued the investment. |
| 21 | If a Regulated Fund enters into a transaction that would be a Co-Investment Transaction pursuant to this Order in reliance on another exemptive order instead of this Order, the information presented to the Board and records maintained by the Regulated Fund will expressly indicate the order relied upon by the Regulated Fund to enter into such transaction. |
10
| IV. | STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF RELIEF REQUESTED |
Applicants submit that allowing the Co-Investment Transactions described by this Application is justified on the basis of (i) the potential benefits to the Regulated Funds and their respective shareholders and (ii) the protections found in the terms and conditions set forth in this Application.
| A. | Potential Benefits to the Regulated Funds and their Shareholders |
Section 57(a)(4) and Rule 17d-1 (as applicable) limit the ability of the Regulated Funds to participate in attractive co-investment opportunities under certain circumstances. If the relief is granted, the Regulated Funds should: (i) be able to participate in a larger number and greater variety of investments, thereby diversifying their portfolios and providing related risk-limiting benefits; (ii) be able to participate in larger financing opportunities, including those involving issuers with better credit quality, which otherwise might not be available to investors of a Regulated Fund's size; (iii) have greater bargaining power (notably with regard to creditor protection terms and other similar investor rights), more control over the investment and less need to bring in other external investors or structure investments to satisfy the different needs of external investors; (iv) benefit from economies of scale by sharing fixed expenses associated with an investment with the other Participants; and (v) be able to obtain better deal flow from investment bankers and other sources of investments.
| B. | Shareholder Protections |
Each Co-Investment Transaction would be subject to the terms and conditions of this Application. The Conditions are designed to address the concerns underlying Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and Rule 17d-l by ensuring that participation by a Regulated Fund in any Co-Investment Transaction would not be on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other Participants. Under Condition 5, each Adviser (and each Affiliated Entity that is not advised by an Adviser) will adopt and implement Co-Investment Policies that are reasonably designed to ensure that (i) opportunities to participate in Co-Investment Transactions are allocated in a manner that is fair and equitable to every Regulated Fund; and (ii) the Adviser negotiating the Co Investment Transaction considers the interest in the Transaction of any participating Regulated Fund. The Co-Investment Policies will require an Adviser to make an independent determination of the appropriateness of a Co-Investment Transaction and the proposed allocation size based on each Participant's specific investment profile and other relevant characteristics.
| V. | PRECEDENTS |
The Commission has previously issued orders permitting certain investment companies subject to regulation under the 1940 Act and their affiliated persons to be able to participate in Co-Investment Transactions (the "Existing Orders").22 Similar to the Existing Orders, the Conditions described herein are designed to mitigate the possibility for overreaching and to promote fair and equitable treatment of the Regulated Funds. Accordingly, the Applicants submit that the scope of investor protections contemplated by the Conditions are consistent with those found in the Existing Orders.
