## Questions

### Who runs investment decisions at Evergreen Partners?

Decisions are made by the four directors: Simon Plowman, Tony Batterton, Mark Hutton, and Amy Ellis. Plowman, Batterton, and Hutton co-founded the firm in 2017 after careers at Direct Capital; Ellis joined as a partner in 2023 from PwC Corporate Finance. There is no external investment committee, and the group has worked together on more than 40 private company investments across New Zealand and Australia.

### How does Evergreen Partners source deals?

The firm relies on the personal networks of its four partners, who collectively hold or have held board seats at over a dozen private and public companies, including Scales Corporation, Briscoe Group, and NZ King Salmon. This director-level reach across New Zealand’s mid-market, combined with long-standing relationships from the Direct Capital era, generates a proprietary pipeline of succession-driven and expansion-stage opportunities.

### Does Evergreen Partners participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

The strategy is overwhelmingly direct. Evergreen has made direct minority and control investments in seven portfolio companies to date and has also executed one public-company placement via on-market share purchases in Acrow Australia. There is no disclosed track record of making LP commitments into other PE funds.

### Which sectors does Evergreen Partners target?

The firm is formally generalist but explicitly highlights primary sectors, industrials, healthcare, and FMCG/retail as areas of deepest experience. Actual portfolio exposure confirms this pattern: construction scaffolding (NZ Scaffolding Group), civil engineering (Hiway Stabilisers), retirement living (Qestral), lobster export (Fiordland Lobster), tourism (NZ Fine Touring Group), and specialist insurance (Delta International Group).
