NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
1. Organization
Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 21, 2020 and commenced operations on January 1, 2021 following the reorganization of the Bow River Capital Evergreen Private Equity Fund, LP (the “Predecessor Fund”) with and into Class I shares of the Fund, which was effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2020. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares (“Shares”). Class II Shares commenced operations on January 3, 2022. The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that operates as an interval fund pursuant to Rule 23c-3 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund is available to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Security Act of 1933, as amended.
The Fund’s investment objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests in a broad portfolio of private equity investments that provide attractive risk-adjusted return potential. The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective through broad exposure to private equity, private credit, and semi-liquid or listed investments, that may include: (i) direct investments; (ii) secondary investments; (iii) private credit instruments; (iv) primary fund commitments; (v) direct or secondary purchases of liquid credit instruments; (vi) other liquid investments; and (vii) short-term investments.
Bow River Advisers, LLC, an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), as amended, serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). Bow River Asset Management, LLC owns a majority, controlling interest in the Adviser, and New York Life Investment Management Holdings LLC owns a minority but controlling (as defined by the 1940 Act) stake in the Adviser. Aksia CA LLC, an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, serves as a non-discretionary investment consultant to the Adviser with respect to the Fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has the overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund. The Board may delegate any of its rights, powers, and authority to, among others, the officers of the Fund, any committee of the Board, or the Adviser.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries — The Fund may make investments through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries will not be registered under the 1940 Act; however, the Fund will wholly own and control any Subsidiaries. The Board has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in any Subsidiary, and the Fund’s role as sole direct or indirect shareholder of any Subsidiary. To the extent applicable to the investment activities of a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. The Fund would “look through” any such Subsidiary to determine compliance with its investment policies. Furthermore, the Fund complies with Section 8 and Section 18 of the 1940 Act, governing investment policies and capital structure and leverage, respectively, on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries also comply with Section 17 of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody. In addition, the Fund does not intend to create or acquire primary control of any entity which primarily engages in investment activities in securities or other assets, other than entities wholly-owned by the Fund.
Each investment adviser to any such Subsidiary will comply with Section 15 of the 1940 Act with respect to advisory contract approval, including that (i) material amendments to any such Subsidiary’s advisory contract must be approved by the Fund’s shareholders or the Board in the manner and to the extent that the Fund’s advisory agreement must be approved by the Fund’s shareholders or the Board; and (ii) the Fund’s shareholders will have the ability to vote to terminate the Subsidiary’s advisory agreements to the extent that they can vote to terminate the Fund’s advisory agreement.
As of September 30, 2024, there were four wholly-owned subsidiaries. Spartan I, LLC, Thunder I, LLC, and BRC UMB, LLC, each formed as a Delaware limited liability company, on June 12, 2024, June 26, 2024, and June 26, 2024, respectively. Reverb, Ltd. was formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands on September 18, 2024. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Spartan I, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for the Fund, and as of September 30, 2024, Spartan I, LLC had net assets of $9,758,344 which equals 1.6% of the Fund’s net assets. During the six month period ended September 30, 2024, none of Reverb, Ltd., Thunder I, LLC, or BRC UMB, LLC had any assets or liabilities or had engaged in investment activities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates — The Fund is an investment company and as a result, maintains its accounting records and has presented these financial statements in accordance with the reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The presentation of the financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Recognition and Expenses — Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments in securities and private funds that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investment or as a realized gain, respectively. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred. The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; professional fees; costs of insurance; registration expenses; and expenses of meetings of the Board. Expenses are subject to the Fund’s Expense Limitation Agreement (see Note 5).
Investment Transactions — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the identified cost basis for publicly traded investments and average cost for the Fund’s private investments for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders arising from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Valuation — The Fund will calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of each calendar week, each business day for the five business days preceding a repurchase request deadline (at such specific time set by the Board), each date that a Share is offered or repurchased, as of the date of any distribution and at such other times as the Board shall determine (each, a “Determination Date”). In determining its NAV, the Fund will value its investments as of the relevant Determination Date. The NAV of the Fund will equal, unless otherwise noted, the value of the total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses, each determined as of the relevant Determination Date.
The Board has approved valuation procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) for the Fund and has approved the delegation of the day-to-day work of determining fair values and pricing responsibility for the Fund to the Adviser (“Valuation Designee”), subject to the oversight of the Board. The valuation of the Fund’s investments is performed in accordance with FASB’s ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Securities that are publicly traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or any foreign stock exchange and for which a quoted market exists will be valued at the closing price of such securities based on their respective market. The money market demand accounts are priced at cost and are generally classified as Level 1 investments.
Debt instruments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued based on such market quotations. In validating market quotations, the Valuation Designee considers different factors such as the source and the nature of the quotation in order to determine whether the quotation represents fair value. The Valuation Designee makes use of reputable financial information providers in order to obtain the relevant quotations.
For debt and equity securities which are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available (unquoted investments) the fair value is determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee. In determining the fair values of these investments, the Valuation Designee will typically apply widely recognized valuation methodologies including, but not limited to, income approach, market approach, cost approach, discounted cash flow methods and third-party valuations. In order to determine a fair value, these methods are applied to the latest information as of the Determination Date provided by the underlying portfolio companies or other business counterparties, to the extent that such information is available and deemed reliable.
15
Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
Due to the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments for which market values are not readily available the fair values of these investments may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, such fair value may differ materially from the values that may have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may significantly differ from the value ultimately realized by the Fund.
Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. Dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a recognized pricing service.
Primary and Secondary Fund Investments
Primary investments are commitments to new private equity, private credit, or other private funds. Secondary investments are purchases of existing interests that are acquired on the secondary market. Primary or secondary investments in private funds are generally valued based on the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner. This is commonly referred to as using NAV as a practical expedient which allows for estimation of the fair value of an investment in a private fund based on NAV or its equivalent if the NAV of the private fund is calculated in a manner consistent with ASC 946. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations of the investments in private funds, their estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the private funds existed, and the differences could be material. New purchases of primary or secondary investments in private funds will be valued at acquisition cost initially until a NAV is provided by the third-party fund manager or General Partner. The Fund will review any cash flows since the reference date of the last NAV for a private fund received by the Fund from a third-party manager (“Portfolio Fund Manager”) until the Determination Date are recognized by (i) adding the nominal amount of the investment related capital calls and (ii) deducting the nominal amount of investment related distributions from the NAV as reported by the Portfolio Fund Manager.
In addition to tracking the NAV plus related cash flows of such secondary purchases of interests in closed-end private funds (“Portfolio Funds”), the Valuation Designee may also track relevant broad-based and issuer (or fund) specific valuation information relating to the assets held by each private fund which is reasonably available at the time the Fund values its investments. Portfolio Funds’ Managers only provide determinations of the net asset values of the Portfolio Funds on a monthly or quarterly basis, in which event it will not be possible to determine the net asset value of the Fund more frequently. The Valuation Designee will consider such information and may conclude in certain circumstances that the information provided by the Portfolio Fund Manager does not represent the fair value of a particular asset held by a Portfolio Fund. If the Valuation Designee concludes in good faith that the latest NAV reported by a Portfolio Fund Manager does not represent fair value (e.g., there is more current information regarding a portfolio asset which significantly changes its fair value) the Valuation Designee will make a corresponding adjustment to reflect the current fair value of such asset within such Portfolio Fund. In determining the fair value of assets held by Portfolio Funds, the Valuation Designee applies valuation methodologies as outlined above.
Direct Investments
Direct investments are minority investments in a company made by investors alongside a private equity fund manager or venture capital firm. Direct investments in private equity funds may be valued based on the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner. In assessing the fair value of the Fund’s direct investments in accordance with the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser uses a variety of methods such as earnings and multiple analysis, discounted cash flow and market data from third party pricing services and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date to hedge various investments, for risk management (i.e. hedging purposes). All foreign currency exchange contracts are market-to-market at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction, or by the delivery, or receipt, of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund utilizes a tax-year end of September 30 and the Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting the prior year returns are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management of the Fund which did not meet the “more likely than not” standard as of September 30, 2024. The Fund’s policy is to classify any interest or penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes as an income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Spartan I, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, and is a domestic limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes and is therefore obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the federal income tax rate for a corporation is 21%. State tax returns are filed in various states in which an economic presence exists. Current state taxes consist of income taxes, franchise taxes, business taxes, excise taxes or gross receipts taxes, depending on the state in which the returns are filed. Income taxes are charged based on apportioned income for each state.
Spartan I, LLC recognizes deferred income taxes for differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards or net operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and the rates on the date of enactment.
Reverb, Ltd., Thunder I, LLC, and BRC UMB, LLC are disregarded entities for income tax purposes.
Shareholder Subscriptions — Shareholder subscriptions received in advance are comprised of cash received on or prior to September 30, 2024 for which shares are issued on October 1, 2024. Shareholder subscriptions received in advance do not participate in the earnings of the Fund until shares are issued.
3. Fair Value Disclosures
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a three-tier framework for measuring fair value based on a hierarchy of inputs, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement. The hierarchy distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. and quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs, including inputs that are not derived from market data or cannot be corroborated by market data and when the investment is not redeemable in the near term.
Private investments that are reported on the Fund’s schedule of investments as being measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) without further adjustment, as a practical expedient of fair value and therefore these investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in a private investment represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from the investment fund if the Fund’s investment is withdrawn at the measurement date based on NAV.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024:

The following is a roll-forward of the activity in investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value on a recurring basis:
| | Beginning balance April 1, 2024 | | Transfers into Level 3 during the period | | Transfers out of Level 3 during the period | | Purchases or Contributions | | Sales or Distributions | | Net realized gain | | Change in net unrealized appreciation | | Ending balance September 30, 2024 |

The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations attributable to Level 3 investments that were held as of September 30, 2024 is $9,784,844.
Transfers into Level 3 during the period represent investments being valued by management using unobservable inputs as an adjustment to reported fair values. Transfers out of Level 3 during the period represent investments that are being measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and/or being valued using observable market data.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2024 were $110,357,437 and $41,171,071, respectively.
5. Investment Management and Other Agreements
Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, the Fund will pay the Adviser a monthly investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) in consideration of the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. The Investment Management Fee is equal to 1.75% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets during such period. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes). The Investment Management Fee is paid to the Adviser out of the Fund’s assets and decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Fund. The Investment Management Fee will be computed as of the last day of each month. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $4,899,052 in investment management fees.
The Adviser has entered into an Investment Consultant Agreement with Aksia CA, LLC (the “Investment Consultant”) to assist the Adviser with sourcing, evaluating, and selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio. As the investment consultant, Aksia CA only recommends investments to the Adviser and has no involvement in investment decisions, any related negotiations, or the finalization of any investment. Currently, a high concentration of the Fund’s investments are sourced by the Investment Consultant. In consideration for services provided, the Adviser will pay the Investment Consultant a monthly fee of 0.375%, on an annualized basis, of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets.
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Adviser has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise be paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a “Waiver”), if required to ensure the Fund’s aggregate monthly ordinary operating expenses, excluding certain “Specified Expenses” listed below, borne by the Fund in respect of each Class of Shares to an amount not to exceed 0.50%, on an annualized basis, of the Fund’s month-end net assets (the “Expense Cap”).
If the Fund’s aggregate monthly ordinary operating expenses, exclusive of the Specified Expenses in respect of any Class of Shares for any month, exceed the Expense Cap applicable to that Class of Shares, the Adviser will waive its Management Fee and/or reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Adviser may also directly pay expenses on behalf of the Fund and waive reimbursement under the Expense Limitation Agreement. To the extent that the Adviser waives its Management Fee and/or reimburses expenses, the Adviser may, for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided it is able to effect such recoupment without causing the Fund’s expense ratio (after recoupment) to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limit in effect at the time of the waiver, and (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment.
Specified Expenses that are not covered by the Expense Limitation Agreement and are therefore borne by shareholders of the Fund include: (i) the Management Fee; (ii) all fees and expenses of Fund Investments (including any underlying fees of the Fund Investments (the “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”)); (iii) transactional costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, associated with the acquisition and disposition of Fund Investments; (iv) interest payments incurred on borrowing by the Fund; (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with a credit facility, if any, obtained by the Fund; (vi) distribution and shareholder servicing fees, as applicable; (vii) taxes; and (viii) extraordinary expenses resulting from events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence, including, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation, government investigation or similar proceeding, indemnification expenses, and expenses in connection with holding and/or soliciting proxies for all annual and other meetings of common shareholders.
The Expense Limitation Agreement is in effect until December 29, 2025, and will automatically renew thereafter for consecutive twelve-month terms, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the Board. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated by the Board upon thirty days’ written notice to the Adviser. As of September 30, 2024, there are no amounts recoupable by the Adviser.

Class I Shares are not subject to the Distribution and Servicing Fee. Foreside Financial Services, LLC acts as Distributor to the Fund on a best-efforts basis, subject to various conditions, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) between the Fund and the Distributor. The Distributor may enter into agreements with selected broker-dealers, banks or other financial intermediaries for distribution of Class II Shares of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, distribution and service fees incurred are disclosed on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Adviser may make payments from its resources, which include a portion of the Investment Management Fee, to brokers or dealers that assist in the distribution of Shares, including brokers or dealers that may be affiliated with the Adviser.

8. Capital Share Transactions
The Fund’s Shares are generally offered for purchase once per month at the NAV per Share as of the last business day of such month, except that Shares may be offered more or less frequently as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Fund has elected to implement a hybrid repurchase mechanism, where under normal circumstances, the Fund provides a limited degree of liquidity to common shareholders by conducting semi-annual repurchase offers pursuant to Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act (each a “Required Repurchase Offer”), as well as discretionary repurchase offers. While the Board may consider the recommendation of the Adviser, discretionary repurchase offers will be made at the sole discretion of the Board.
Each Required Repurchase Offer will be for no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the Fund’s Shares outstanding, but if the value of Shares tendered for repurchase exceeds the value the Fund intended to repurchase, the Fund may determine to repurchase less than the full number of Shares tendered. In such event, common shareholders will have their Shares repurchased on a pro rata basis and tendering common shareholders will not have all of their tendered Shares repurchased by the Fund.
The Adviser also anticipates recommending to the Board that, under normal market circumstances, the Fund conduct periodic repurchase offers of no more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets generally for each calendar quarter following a Required Repurchase Offer (each, a “Discretionary Repurchase”). In determining whether the Fund should offer a Discretionary Repurchase, the Board may consider the recommendation of the Adviser as well as a variety of other operational, business and economic factors. While it is anticipated that each Discretionary Repurchase will be offered for each calendar quarter following a Required Repurchase Offer (i.e. twice per year), any Discretionary Repurchase of Shares will be made at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Board from time to time in its sole discretion. As a result, Discretionary Repurchases may be offered at any amount, as determined by the Board, or not at all. The Fund may also elect to repurchase less than the full amount that a common shareholder requests to be repurchased. In addition, the Board may under certain circumstances elect to postpone, suspend or terminate an offer to repurchase Shares.
A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a common shareholder at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the common shareholder’s purchase of the Shares. Shares tendered for repurchase will be treated as having been repurchased on a “first in-first out” basis. An early repurchase fee payable by a common shareholder may be waived by the Fund in circumstances where the Board determines that doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund completed two repurchase offers. The results of those were as follows:
| | Required Repurchase Offer | | Discretionary Repurchase Offer |
Commencement Date | | | April 25, 2024 | | | | July 19, 2024 | |

9. Contingencies and Commitments
The Fund indemnifies the Fund’s officers and the Board for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Fund is required to provide financial support in the form of investment commitments to certain investees as part of the conditions for entering into such investments. At September 30, 2024, the Fund reasonably believes its assets will provide adequate cover to satisfy all its unfunded commitments.
The Fund’s unfunded commitments as of September 30, 2024 are as follows:

10. Federal Tax Information
The Fund has elected and intends to continue to elect to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and it has qualified, and expects each year to continue to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes all of its net taxable income and gains each year.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
The Fund has selected a tax year end of September 30. At September 30, 2024, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund |
Cost of investments | | $ | 500,172,456 | |
| | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 137,744,310 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (7,181,923 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | | $ | 130,562,387 | |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on partnership investments.
11. Indemnifications
The Fund indemnifies the Fund’s officers and Board of Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
12. Other Derivative Information
The average quarterly notional value of forward foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2024 was $4,460,800. The notional value outstanding as of September 30, 2024 was $13,382,400.
The effects of forward foreign currency contracts on the Fund’s financial positions and financial performance are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“SAL”) and Statement of Operations (“SOP”). The Fund engaged in forward foreign currency contracts during the six months ended September 30, 2024. $18,611 of unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts listed in the liabilities section of the SAL is subject to forward foreign exchange contract risk. $97,750 in net realized loss on forward foreign currency contracts and $18,611 in the change in unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency contract as listed in the SOP are each subject to forward foreign exchange contract risk.
Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities — Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. As of September 30, 2024, no master netting arrangements exist related to the Fund. The Fund’s SAL presents derivative instruments on a gross basis; therefore, no net amounts and no offset amounts exist within the SAL to present below. Gross amounts of the derivative instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the SAL and net amounts are presented below:

13. Revolving Credit Facility
The Fund had a committed revolving line of credit agreement (“Committed Credit Agreement”) and an uncommitted revolving line of credit agreement (“Uncommitted Credit Agreement”), (“Committed Credit Agreement” and “Uncommitted Credit Agreement”, together referred to as “Credit Agreements”) of $25,000,000 and $20,000,000 respectively with UMB Bank, n.a. (“UMB Bank”) effective until July 12, 2024. Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Fund could borrow an amount up to the lesser of $45,000,000 or one hundred percent (100%) of the value of the Fund’s unencumbered U.S. Dollar denominated cash held at UMB Bank or its affiliates, plus ninety percent (90%) of the market or par value, whichever is less, for any U.S. Government or U.S. Agency Securities, with maturity of less than 5 years or eighty years or more, plus sixty percent (60%) of the value of the Fund’s liquid exchange-traded funds (EFTs) and other publicly-traded, liquid, investment grade equities listed on any tier of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the NYSE American or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or any successor of such exchanges, plus twenty percent (20%) of the value of the Fund’s semi-liquid assets that may be liquidated within ninety (90) days. The interest rate on the borrowings from the Credit Agreements were equal to the Prime Rate minus twenty-five basis points, subject to a 3.50% rate floor, per annum. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, there were no borrowings and $46,907 in unused borrowing fees were incurred.
14. Risk Factors
There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved or that the Fund’s portfolio design and risk monitoring strategies will be successful. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all the potential risks associated with the Fund. The Fund’s prospectus provides further details regarding the Fund’s risks and considerations.
Private Equity Risk — There are inherent risks in investing in private equity companies, which are vehicles whose principal business is to invest in and lend capital to privately held companies. Generally, little public information exists for private and thinly traded companies, and there is a risk that private equity investors, like the Fund, may not be able to make a fully informed investment decision.
Private Credit Risk — Typically, private credit investments are in restricted securities that are not traded in public markets and subject to substantial holding periods, so that the Fund may not be able to resell some of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years. The Fund’s investments are also subject to the risks associated with investing in private securities. Investments in private securities are illiquid, can be subject to various restrictions on resale, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to realize the value of such investments in a timely manner. Additionally, private credit investments can range in credit quality depending on security-specific factors, including total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the security in question, variability in the issuer’s cash flows, the size of the issuer, the quality of assets securing debt and the degree to which such assets cover the subject company’s debt obligations.
Semi-Liquid Investment Risk — Semi-liquid investments do not offer investors full liquidity (i.e. such investments typically only offer monthly or quarterly liquidity).
General Economic and Market Conditions — The success of the Fund’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of investments held by the Fund. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in losses.
The United Kingdom (“UK”) left the European Union (“EU”) on January 31, 2020, and a transition period during which the UK and EU negotiated terms of departure ended on December 31, 2020. The departure is commonly referred to as “Brexit”. The UK and EU reached an agreement, effective January 1, 2021, on the terms of their future trading relationship, which principally relates to the trading of goods. Further discussions are expected to be held between the UK and the EU in relation to matters not covered by the trade agreement, such as financial services. Brexit may have significant political and financial consequences for the Eurozone markets and broader global economy, including greater volatility in the global stock markets and illiquidity, fluctuations in currency and exchange rates, and an increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. Securities issued by companies domiciled in the UK could be subject to changing regulatory and tax regimes. Banking and financial services companies that operate in the UK or EU could be disproportionately impacted by these actions. Further insecurity in EU membership or the abandonment of the euro could exacerbate market and currency

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
volatility and negatively impact investments in securities issued by companies located in EU countries. Brexit also may cause additional member states to contemplate departing the EU, which would likely perpetuate political and economic instability in the region and cause additional market disruption in global financial markets. As a result, markets in the UK, Europe and globally could experience increased volatility and illiquidity, and potentially lower economic growth which in return could potentially have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. Market disruption in the EU and globally may have a negative effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. Additionally, there could be additional risks if one or more additional EU member states seek to leave the EU.
International war or conflicts (including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war) and geopolitical events in foreign countries, along with instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, possible terrorist attacks in the United States or around the world, and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund or and a Portfolio Fund invests in securities located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s or a Portfolio Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted. Further, due to closures of certain markets and restrictions on trading certain securities, the value of certain securities held by the Fund or a Portfolio Fund could be significantly impacted.
Interest rates in the United States and many other countries have risen in recent periods and may continue to rise in the future. Additionally, the impairment or failure of one or more banks with whom the Fund or a Portfolio Fund transacts may inhibit the Fund’s or a Portfolio Fund’s ability to access depository accounts. In such cases, the Fund or a Portfolio Fund may be forced to delay or forgo investments, resulting in lower Fund performance. In the event of such a failure of a banking institution where the Fund or a Portfolio Fund holds depository accounts, access to such accounts could be restricted and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) protection may not be available for balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC. In such instances, the Fund or a Portfolio Fund may not recover such excess, uninsured amounts.
Direct Investments Risk — The Fund may make direct investments on an opportunistic basis. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be given direct investment opportunities, or that any direct investment offered to the Fund would be appropriate or attractive to the Fund. Direct investments generally are more concentrated than investments in portfolio companies, which generally hold multiple portfolio companies. Due diligence will be conducted on direct investment opportunities; however, the Adviser or Investment Consultant may not have the ability to conduct the same level of due diligence applied to portfolio company investments. In addition, there may be limited opportunities to negotiate the terms of such direct investments. However, in instances where the terms of a direct investment are negotiable, such terms may be heavily negotiated and may incur additional transactional costs for the Fund. As is typical in such matters, the Adviser or Investment Consultant, as applicable, generally will rely on the portfolio company manager or sponsor offering such direct investment opportunity to perform most of the due diligence on the relevant portfolio company and to negotiate terms of the direct investment.
Secondary Investments Risk — The overall performance of the Fund’s secondary investments will depend in large part on the acquisition price paid, which may be negotiated based on incomplete or imperfect information. Certain secondary investments may be purchased as a portfolio, and in such cases the Fund may not be able to exclude from such purchases those investments that the Adviser considers (for commercial, tax, legal or other reasons) less attractive. Where the Fund acquires a portfolio company interest as a secondary investment, the Fund will generally not have the ability to modify or amend such portfolio company’s constituent documents (e.g., limited partnership agreements) or otherwise negotiate the economic terms of the interests being acquired. In addition, the costs and resources required to investigate the commercial, tax and legal issues relating to secondary investments may be greater than those relating to primary investments.
Primary Fund Commitments Risk — The commitment to invest in newly created private equity funds, private credit funds, or other private funds, exposes the Fund to the risk of investing in funds with limited operating histories and the information the Fund will obtain about such investments may be limited. As such, the ability to evaluate past performance or to validate the investment strategies will be limited.
Liquid Credit Instruments Risk — Investments in liquid credit instruments are subject to the risks associated with investments in high-yield credit. High-yield/high risk bonds, or “junk” bonds, are bonds rated below investment-grade by the primary rating agencies, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch and Moody’s, or are unrated bonds of similar quality. The value of lower quality bonds generally is more dependent on credit risk than investment-grade bonds. Issuers of high-yield/high risk bonds may not be as strong financially as those
32
Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
issuing bonds with higher credit ratings and are more vulnerable to real or perceived economic changes, political changes or adverse developments specific to the issuer. In addition, the junk bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings. Further, secondary markets for high-yield securities are less liquid than the market for investment-grade securities. Therefore, it may be more difficult to value the securities because valuation may require more research, and elements of judgment may play a larger role in the valuation because there is less reliable, objective data available.
Listed Private Equity Risk — Listed private equity companies are typically regulated vehicles listed on a public stock exchange that invest in private equity transactions or funds. Such vehicles may take the form of corporations, business development companies, unit trusts, publicly traded partnerships, or other structures, and may focus on mezzanine, infrastructure, buyout or venture capital investments. Listed private equity may also include investments in publicly listed companies in connection with a privately negotiated financing or an attempt to exercise significant influence on the subject of the investment. Listed private equity investments usually have an indefinite duration. Listed private equity occupies a small portion of the public equity universe, including only a few professional investors who focus on and actively trade such vehicles. As a result, relatively little market research is performed on listed private equity companies, only limited public data may be available regarding these vehicles and their underlying investments, and market pricing may significantly deviate from published net asset value. This can result in market inefficiencies and may offer opportunities to specialists that can value the underlying private equity investments. Listed private equity vehicles are typically liquid and capable of being traded daily, in contrast to direct investments and private equity funds, in which capital is subject to lengthy holding periods. Accordingly, listed private equity transactions are significantly easier to execute than other types of private equity investments, giving investors an opportunity to adjust the investment level of their portfolios more efficiently.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk — The Fund may invest in long (or short) positions in ETFs. Through its positions in ETFs, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such vehicles’ investments, including the possibility that the value of the securities or instruments held by an ETF could decrease (or increase), and will bear its proportionate share of the ETF’s fees and expenses. In addition, certain of the ETFs may hold common portfolio positions, thereby reducing any diversification benefits.
Money Market Funds Risk — An investment in a money market fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company or any other government agency. Certain money market funds seek to preserve the value of their shares at $1.00 per share, although there can be no assurance that they will do so, and it is possible to lose money by investing in such a money market fund. A major or unexpected increase in interest rates or a decline in the credit quality of an issuer or entity providing credit support, an inactive trading market for money market instruments, or adverse market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions could cause the share price of such a money market fund to fall below $1.00. It is possible that such a money market fund will issue and redeem shares at $1.00 per share at times when the fair value of the money market fund’s portfolio per share is more or less than $1.00. Other money market funds price and transact at a “floating” NAV that will fluctuate along with changes in the market-based value of fund assets. Shares sold utilizing a floating NAV may be worth more or less than their original purchase price.
Closed-End Fund; Liquidity Limited to Periodic Repurchases of Shares — The Fund has been organized as a diversified, closed-end management investment company and designed primarily for long-term investors. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis. Unlike most closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, the Fund does not intend to list the Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares. Although the Fund will offer a limited degree of liquidity by conducting semi-annual repurchase offers and periodic repurchase offers made at the sole discretion of the Board, a Common Shareholder may not be able to tender its Shares in the Fund promptly after it has made a decision to do so. There is no assurance that you will be able to tender your Shares when or in the amount that you desire. Furthermore, discretionary repurchases are made at the discretion of the Board and therefore, may not occur. In addition, with very limited exceptions, Shares are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made semi-annually by the Fund, as well as periodically at the sole discretion of the Board. Shares are considerably less liquid than Shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange or Shares of open-end registered investment companies and are therefore, suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with illiquid shares and should be viewed as a long-term investment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
Valuation Risk — Under the 1940 Act, the Fund is required to carry Fund Investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined by the Fund’s Valuation Designee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy, which has been approved by the Board and is consistent with the Adviser’s Valuation Policy. There is not a public market or active secondary market for many of the securities of the privately-held companies in which the Fund intends to invest. Rather, many of the Fund Investments may be traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors. As a result, the Fund values these securities at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, as Valuation Designee, in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
The determination of fair value, and thus the amount of unrealized losses the Fund may incur in any year, is to a degree subjective. The Fund values these securities at fair value determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, the Fund’s determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these non-traded securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, the Fund’s fair value determinations may cause the Fund’s net asset value on a given date to understate or overstate materially the value that the Fund may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more Fund Investments.
Capital Call Risk — The Fund may maintain a sizeable cash position in anticipation of funding capital calls or near-term investment opportunities. Even though the Fund may maintain a sizeable position in cash and short-term securities, it may not contribute the full amount of its commitment to a fund at the time of investment. Instead, the Fund will be required to make incremental contributions pursuant to capital calls issued from time to time by the underlying fund. If the Fund defaults on its commitment to an underlying fund or fails to satisfy capital calls to an underlying fund in a timely manner then, generally, it will be subject to significant penalties, including the complete forfeiture of the Fund’s investment in the underlying fund. Any failure by the Fund to make timely capital contributions in respect of its commitments may (i) impair the ability of the Fund and the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, (ii) force the Fund to borrow, (iii) indirectly cause the Fund, and, indirectly, the Investors to be subject to certain penalties from the Fund Investments (including the complete forfeiture of the Fund’s investment in an Investment Fund), or (iv) otherwise impair the value of the Fund’s investments (including the devaluation of the Fund).
Currency Risk — Although the Fund intends to invest predominantly in the United States, the Fund’s portfolio is anticipated to include investments in a number of different currencies. Any returns on, and the value of such investments may, therefore, be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations, local exchange control, limited liquidity of the relevant foreign exchange markets, the convertibility of the currencies in question and/or other factors. A decline in the value of the currencies in which the Fund Investments are denominated against the U.S. Dollar may result in a decrease the Fund’s net asset value. The Adviser may or may not elect to hedge the value of investments made by the Fund against currency fluctuations, and even if the Adviser deems hedging appropriate, it may not be possible or practicable to hedge currency risk exposure. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected by such currency fluctuations.
Foreign Investments and Emerging Markets Risk — The Fund may invest in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those located in developing countries, which securities involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These risks may relate to foreign political, social and economic matters, less developed markets, political immobility and less developed legal and accounting practices.
Derivatives and Hedging — The Fund may invest and trade in a variety of derivative instruments to hedge the Fund’s primary Fund Investments, including options, swaps, futures contracts, forward agreements and other derivatives contracts. Derivatives are financial instruments or arrangements in which the risk and return are related to changes in the value of other assets, reference rates or indices. Transactions in derivative instruments present risks arising from the use of leverage (which increases the magnitude of losses), volatility, the possibility of default by a counterparty, and illiquidity. Use of derivative instruments for hedging or speculative purposes by the Adviser could present significant risks, including the risk of losses in excess of the amounts invested. The Fund’s ability to avoid risk through investment or trading in derivatives will depend on the ability to anticipate changes in the underlying assets, reference rates or indices.

Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
LIBOR Transition Risk — Many financial instruments may be based on floating rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Euro Interbank Offered Rate and other similar types of reference rates. In July of 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR at the end of 2021. Most LIBOR settings are no longer published as of December 31, 2021. Overnight and 12-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings permanently ceased after publication on June 30, 2021. The 1-, 3- and 6-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will continue to be published using a synthetic methodology until September 2024. Neither the effect of the LIBOR transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. Although the transition away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined, any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR and other benchmark rates on financial markets, a fund or the financial instruments in which a fund invests can be difficult to ascertain. Not all existing LIBOR-based instruments may have alternative rate-setting provisions and there remains uncertainty regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to add alternative rate-setting provisions in certain existing instruments. Global regulators have advised market participants to cease entering into new contracts using LIBOR as a reference rate, and it is possible that investments in LIBOR-based instruments could invite regulatory scrutiny. In addition, a liquid market for newly-issued instruments that use a reference rate other than LIBOR still may be developing. All of the aforementioned may adversely affect the Fund or a Portfolio Fund’s performance or NAV.
SOFR Risk — SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing funds overnight in transactions that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. SOFR is calculated based on transaction-level repurchase data collected from various sources. For each trading day, SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median rate derived from such data. SOFR is calculated and published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”). If data from a given source required by the FRBNY to calculate SOFR is unavailable for any day, then the most recently available data for that segment will be used, with certain adjustments. If errors are discovered in the transaction data or the calculations underlying SOFR after its initial publication on a given day, SOFR may be republished at a later time that day. Rate revisions will be effected only on the day of initial publication and will be republished only if the change in the rate exceeds one basis point.
Because SOFR is a financing rate based on overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from LIBOR. LIBOR is intended to be an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding costs for different short-term maturities or tenors. It is a forward-looking rate reflecting expectations regarding interest rates for the applicable tenor. Thus, LIBOR is intended to be sensitive, in certain respects, to bank credit risk and to term interest rate risk. In contrast, SOFR is a secured overnight rate reflecting the credit of U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Thus, it is largely insensitive to credit-risk considerations and to short-term interest rate risks. SOFR is a transaction-based rate, and it has been more volatile than other benchmark or market rates, such as three-month LIBOR, during certain periods. For these reasons, among others, there is no assurance that SOFR, or rates derived from SOFR, will perform in the same or similar way as LIBOR would have performed at any time, and there is no assurance that SOFR-based rates will be a suitable substitute for LIBOR. SOFR has a limited history, having been first published in April 2018. The future performance of SOFR, and SOFR-based reference rates, cannot be predicted based on SOFR’s history or otherwise. Levels of SOFR in the future, including following the discontinuation of LIBOR, may bear little or no relation to historical levels of SOFR, LIBOR or other rates.
Large Shareholder Risk — From time to time, and at present, a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares may be owned or controlled by one or more large shareholders, including shareholders that are affiliated with either the Fund, the Adviser, or both. Accordingly, in these instances, the Fund is subject to increased risks related to potential large-scale outflows as the result of participation in fund repurchase offers by these significant shareholders. Although the Fund’s structure mitigates this risk by only providing liquidity through Required Repurchases and Discretionary Repurchases, transactions to accommodate outflows associated with repurchase participation by these large shareholders could cause the fund to sell portfolio investments at inopportune times, potentially negatively affecting the Fund’s net asset value and performance. In the case of investments by affiliates of the Fund or Adviser, conflicts of interest may exist, including the possibility that the Fund will be able to attract more assets from third-party investors because of the affiliate’s investment, thereby growing the Fund and increasing the management fees received by the Adviser.
15. Beneficial Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates a presumption of control under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2024, First Premier Bank, for the benefit of their customers, owned 25.7% of Class II Shares of the Fund. No persons or entities own, either directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the outstanding shares of Class I.

At a meeting of the Board held on September 6, 2024, the Board approved a new investment consultant agreement (“New Investment Consultant Agreement”) between the Adviser and Apogem Capital, LLC and recommended that the Fund’s shareholders approve the New Investment Consultant Agreement. A special meeting of shareholders was held on November 18, 2024. The matter was voted on by shareholders of record as of August 30, 2024 and the results of the vote at the shareholder meeting held on November 18, 2024 are as follows:

As a result of the approval of the New Investment Consultant Agreement, there are no changes to the current investment strategy nor the Investment Consultant Agreement already in place with Aksia CA LLC. Additional information can be found in the Fund’s Schedule 14A Proxy Statement dated October 1, 2024.
On November 4, 2024, BRC UMB, LLC, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (“UMB Facility”) with UMB Bank, n.a., a national banking association, as lender. The Fund, as guarantor, also entered into a Guaranty for the benefit of UMB Bank, n.a. Separately, as of the same date, Thunder I, LLC, as borrower, the Fund, as guarantor entered into a Credit Agreement with BOK, NA dba BOK Financial, a national banking association, as lender (“BOKF Facility” and together with the UMB Facility, the “Facilities”). Both Facilities are secured by the assets of the applicable borrower, but not by the assets of the Fund as guarantor. The UMB Facility provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount up to $30,000,000. Interest on outstanding principal will be paid at a per annum rate equal to the rate most recently announced by UMB Bank, n.a., as its prime rate, minus 0.25%, subject to a minimum interest rate floor of 3.50%. The BOKF Facility provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000. Interest on outstanding principal through the BOKF Facility are categorized as either base rate loans (“Base Rate Loans”) or secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) loans (“SOFR Loans”). Base Rate Loans will be charged interest per annum equal to the highest of a) the rate most recently announced by BOK, NA dba BOK financial as its prime rate prime rate, b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.05%, or c) the daily simple SOFR rate plus 1,00%; plus 0.75%. SOFR loans will be charged interest per annum equal to the daily simple SOFR rate plus 1.75%. The Facilities have an initial termination date of November 4, 2025.
The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no other subsequent events that require disclosure in or adjustment to the financial statements.

Approval of Investment Consultant Agreement
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) held on September 6, 2024, the entire Board, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), (the “Independent Trustees”), discussed and unanimously approved a new investment consultant agreement between Bow River Advisers, LLC (“Bow River” or the “Investment Manager”) and Apogem Capital LLC (“Apogem”) (the “Investment Consultant Agreement”), subject to the approval of shareholders. In considering information relating to the approval of the Investment Consultant Agreement, the Board and the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from its counsel who had provided the Board with a written description of their responsibilities in considering the Investment Consultant Agreement.
The Trustees reviewed and discussed written materials that were provided in advance of the meeting, as well as information presented at the meeting. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Consultant Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Investment Consultant Agreement.
In recommending that shareholders vote to approve the Investment Consultant Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors it determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the investment consultant services to be provided by Apogem to the Investment Manager, and therefore the Fund, under the Investment Consultant Agreement, including the recommendation of Fund investments. The Board noted that Apogem is a wholly-owned boutique of New York Life Investments, a global asset manager, with over 30 years of experience in the private market investment space and approximately $40 billion in assets under management. The Board noted that Apogem would source investments and assist in the due diligence process, but serve as a non-discretionary consultant and have no involvement in investment decisions, any related negotiations, or the finalization of any investment.
The Trustees then noted that Apogem had deployed more than $75 billion across more than 2,700 private equity and private credit investments since 1991 and maintains more than 320 active general partner relationships with a focus on the middle market. They further considered the quality of services to be provided by Apogem and its investment professionals, noting that Apogem has over 30 years of experience in middle market investing and maintains a robust data and relationship focus to support the sourcing and due diligence services it would provide under the Investment Consultant Agreement. They further noted that the firm’s investment professionals have extensive experience in the industry, with a senior management team that averages more than 20 years of experience. Because the Board considered that the Fund is growing and the addition of Apogem as an investment consultant is expected to increase the number of investment opportunities that are available to the Fund and further enhance the Fund’s ability to deploy capital consistent with its current investment strategy, there would not be any detrimental effects on the management or operations of the Fund.
Based on its consideration and review of the foregoing and other information, the Board determined that the Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by Apogem, as well as Apogem’s ability to render such services based on its experience, operations, and resources.
37
Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED) |
Performance. The Board considered the investment consultant experience of Apogem but noted that Apogem would serve as a non-discretionary investment consultant and not make investment decisions for the Fund. As a result, the Board concluded that the consideration of performance was not a relevant factor to their consideration of the Investment Consultant Agreement.
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed the proposed investment consultant fee to be paid to Apogem and noted that Apogem would be paid by the Investment Manager out of the Investment Manager’s investment management fee and, as such, the overall management fee would not change as a result of the addition of Apogem. Accordingly, the Board determined that the fees for the Investment Consultant Agreement were reasonable.
Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered Apogem’s assets under management and discussed Apogem’s responses regarding its financial condition and its methodology for estimating the costs incurred and profits realized by Apogem from its relationship with the Fund. The Board determined that the compensation to Apogem was reasonable and Apogem’s financial condition, as a wholly-owned entity of New York Life Investments, was adequate. The Board also determined that, given the Fund’s current size, economies of scale were not present at this time.
Conclusion. Based on the totality of the information considered, the Trustees concluded that the Fund was likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of Apogem’s services and that Apogem has the ability to provide these services based on its experience, operations and resources. After evaluation of the considerations described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Apogem, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Consultant Agreement and determined to recommend that Shareholders approve the Investment Consultant Agreement.

(a)(2) Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Member and Potential Conflicts of Interest
The following tables provide information about portfolios and accounts, other than the Registrant, for which the portfolio managers are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management as of September 30, 2024:
The Investment Team may manage separate accounts or other pooled investment vehicles that may have materially higher or different fee arrangements than the Fund and may also be subject to performance-based fees. The side-by-side management of these separate accounts and pooled investment vehicles may raise potential conflicts of interest relating to cross-trading and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Adviser has a fiduciary responsibility to manage all client accounts in a fair and equitable manner. The Adviser seeks to provide best execution of all securities transactions and to allocate investments to client accounts in a fair and reasonable manner. To this end, the Adviser has developed policies and procedures designed to mitigate and manage the potential conflicts of interest that may arise from side-by-side management.
A competitive base salary and a performance-based bonus structure are in place for all team members. Members of the Investment Team, analysts, and other associates are paid a competitive base salary and discretionary bonus based on their fiduciary investment responsibilities, performance of the individual, and performance of the firm. The discretionary bonus structure gives the Adviser the ability to remain competitive under current market conditions affecting compensation across the industry. The discretionary bonus may be payable in both cash and equity.
