HUBUS133 Alpha Group Capital As of the date of this Brochure, Hudson Bay Capital categorizes its Multi-Strat Fund strategies into the following groups in its reports to investors: (i) event-driven/merger arbitrage (including long/short equity); (ii) volatility trading; (iii) convertibles; and (iv) credit. Certain of the specific trading strategies and techniques (including sub-strategies) that have historically been used for the Multi-Strat Funds are outlined below for illustrative purposes. The following does not purport to be a complete list of all trading strategies employed, and certain of the Multi-Strat Funds' trades may involve a combination of, or a departure from, these strategies. • Event/Merger Arbitrage - involves investing in securities of an issuer which is involved in prospective mergers or corporate combinations, acquisitions, tender offers, exchange offers, corporate recapitalizations, litigation or spin-offs or other corporate action transactions with the expectation of profiting from the difference between the price of such securities at the inception of the investment and the price of such securities in expectation of or upon consummation of particular events. • Derivative Arbitrage - involves the purchase and sale of options, futures, warrants, swaps and other derivative securities in anticipation of profiting from a relative mispricing between them. These transactions may be offset in the underlying principal markets. Examples of such strategies are commonly known as index arbitrage and volatility arbitrage. • Options Arbitrage — seeks to profit from market turbulence or lack thereof, as reflected in movements in option prices that result from either market volatility or market fluctuations. The goal of this strategy is to buy inexpensively priced (i.e., low implied volatility) options whose underlying instruments are historically more volatile and sell expensively priced (i.e., high implied volatility) options whose underlying instruments are historically less volatile. • Equity-volatility Arbitrage - seeks to identify and exploit relative mispricings in general volatility levels, skew and term structures across global markets. Hudson Bay Capital will evaluate volatility through the analysis of capital structure, event catalysts and the structured products market. • Convertible Arbitrage — involves purchasing and selling convertible securities and may involve hedging the underlying equity and/or credit risk, in anticipation of profiting from a relative mispricing among them. This is intended to create a net position that is designed to be substantially neutral to the movements in the underlying equity and has an attractive yield. • Direct Investments - involves the purchasing and selling, though private placements or public offerings, of securities offered by companies that are publicly traded. Direct investments generally include private investments in public equity ("PIPEs") as well as the following investments issued or offered by 24 CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM.
