## Questions

### Who runs investment decisions at Littlejohn & Co.?

Littlejohn's investment committee includes senior principals such as Managing Directors Robert Davis, Steven Kalter, Gentry S. Klein, and Advisory Partner Ed Feeley. The firm has not published a single CIO or CEO title; decisions appear to be made collectively by the partnership, which has an average tenure of roughly 20 years according to the firm's website.

### How does Littlejohn source proprietary deal flow?

The firm combines its private equity and credit origination teams under a single platform, allowing investment professionals to source through lenders, restructuring advisors, corporate carve-out negotiations, and founder relationships. Because it provides capital across the entire balance sheet — from control equity to structured credit — Littlejohn often sees situations before they reach broader auction processes.

### Does Littlejohn participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

Littlejohn invests directly. Its private equity arm acquires control stakes in middle-market companies; its credit arm provides direct loans to sponsor-backed and non-sponsored issuers; and its Capital Solutions team writes structured equity on a deal-by-deal basis. There is no disclosed fund-of-funds or LP commitment program.

### How is Littlejohn's credit strategy related to its private equity business?

The credit and private equity teams operate under the same investment committee and share the same sector coverage. This structure allows the firm to evaluate a company for a control buyout, a senior loan, or a structured equity solution simultaneously, and then allocate the best-fitting capital from a single pool of committed funds.

### Does Littlejohn maintain a centralized operations group, and how is it structured?

Yes. The Littlejohn Portfolio Support Group, led by Managing Director Kevin Haney, employs value-creation directors and operating partners who embed into portfolio companies to drive procurement, margin improvement, M&A, and management coaching. This centralized group is unusual for a firm of Littlejohn's size and operates as a shared resource across both the equity and credit portfolios.
