## About The Pritzker Organization

The Pritzker Organization (TPO) partners with management teams to build and grow businesses over the long term.

TPO is not a traditional private equity fund, nor a traditional family office. We bring the institutional capabilities of a PE firm with the flexibility of a family office. We are not driven by fund cycles, predefined exit timelines, or short-term optimization. Our approach is flexible by design.

We invest across industries, structures, and situations, including control, minority, and partnership-oriented investments. Rather than force a company into a predetermined model, we shape our capital and involvement around the needs of the business, its management team, and its stakeholders.

INVESTMENT CRITERIA

We are looking for opportunities to acquire, found, or provide growth capital to a business. Our investments typically exhibit all or some of the following characteristics:

People We look to partner with highly capable and passionate leaders who are excited to partner with us for the next phase of growth. While not all our investments are family / founder-owned, we have a deep understanding of family/founder dynamics.

Sectors We look for businesses in a range of verticals including, but not limited to, industrials, healthcare, financial services, business services, technology, consumer/retail, telecom, logistics, packaging, manufacturing, aerospace & defense, and infrastructure.

Size Range Enterprise Value: $100 million to $1+ billion EBITDA: $10-150 million Equity Checks: $75-300 million for majority deals (ability to scale larger with partners), $15-100 million for minority and structured deals

Defensible Niche The business has a defensible niche within its industry. Our experience is that clear focus is an important asset.

Value-Add The core product or service adds significant value to the customers. Commodity businesses competing purely on price are less attractive for us.

Complexity We are sophisticated in financial analysis and structuring. This allows us to differentiate ourselves in certain complex situations.

Duration Our Family capital is duration agnostic, though our preference is to buy and build over the long term. Ideal situations present an opportunity for patient, long-term capital to be redeployed and used to grow the existing business as opposed to preparing for a sale every few years. We believe this model lets great management teams do what they do best – grow their business.

Partnership On top of supporting best-in-class management teams, TPO has significant experience in partnering with like-minded investors and families. We are dogmatic about alignment.
