Visium Asset Management – Business Model and Fund Overview
10
Visium Asset Management is an integrated management company focused on providing single strategy and multi-strategy
investments to investors and their advisors. Visium integrates and supports its portfolio teams through a central infrastructure
managed by experienced business professionals who provide marketing, trading, risk management, administrative services,
compliance, accounting, and back office functions. This structure allows the portfolio teams to spend the majority of their time
on investing, similar to the structure of a traditional investment management organization. The Visium funds are designed to
have low correlation to benchmarks. Visium Asset Management offers 7 funds:
▪ Visium Balanced Fund – long/short equity healthcare fund (Page 11)
▪ Visium Global Fund – multi-strategy diversified fund (Page 12)
▪ Visium Credit Opportunities Fund – long/short credit healthcare fund (Page 13)
▪ Visium Institutional Partners Fund – mid- and large-cap long/short equity healthcare fund (Page 14)
▪ Visium Tax Alpha Fund – multi-strategy fund with an active tax optimization approach (Page 15)
▪ Visium Catalyst Event Driven Fund – multi-strategy event driven fund (Page 16)
▪ Visium Catalyst Credit Fund – event driven credit and distressed fund (Page 17)
The Visium structure allows the investment teams the autonomy of their operating teams. Our belief is that the
alignment of incentives combined with the Visium infrastructure will prove critical to achieving product
sustainability, promoting team collaboration, retaining quality personnel, and building long-term franchise value. The
revenue split to the managers is focused on delivering higher marginal incentives based on returns to clients. The
capacity of funds is limited to not accept more assets than the manager can effectively utilize.
Jacob Gottlieb controls the General Partnership. Each of the strategies and has real-time capability to monitor trading,
risk, cash and securities movements. The safeguards and alignments allow for a strong inspection of investment
methodologies through both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the factor risks.

The Visium Credit Opportunities Fund was established to express Visium’s healthcare ideas in the credit portion of the capital
structure while applying the same rigorous fundamental investment research process employed in its long/short equity strategy. The
Fund seeks to take advantage of mispricings within the capital structure of healthcare companies and build a portfolio of fixed
income investments that generate an attractive risk/reward profile. We are more interested in opportunities where there is a catalyst
that will unleash value and look for opportunities on both the long and short side. The fund invests primarily in the US and
international healthcare. Financial instruments will include investment grade and high-yield bonds, bank loans, convertible bonds,
common and preferred stocks, credit default swaps and other derivatives.

The Visium Catalyst Event Driven Fund employs a multi-strategy, event-driven investment approach, targeting the equity and debt
securities of companies that we believe will be impacted by pending or anticipated corporate events. We employ both qualitative
and quantitative analysis to identify and evaluate companies that might become involved in acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcy
restructurings, stock buybacks, industry consolidations, large capital expenditure programs, significant management changes, self-
liquidations or similar events. The goal is to invest early in the transaction life cycle to capture a large portion of the transaction
premium.

The Visium Catalyst Credit Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a superior return on invested capital by successfully
implementing its investment strategies in a wide range of equity and debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments. In
general, the investment team seeks to identify securities that are mispriced and that will experience a change in their valuation as a
result of corporate events. The events that typically impact securities valuations include the processing of bankruptcy
reorganizations; restructurings involving a change in a company’s asset mix or balance sheet; mergers; and meaningful changes in
the business prospects and financial performance of a company. Through its research and analysis, the investment team works to
identify timely investment opportunities in these areas.

Disclosure
GENERAL DISCLOSURES: All information contained herein is preliminary and subject to revision and completion. This summary is intended only for the person or entity to which it has been delivered.
This summary is not an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any security. An offering of interests in pooled investment vehicles (the "Funds") managed or advised by Visium Asset
Management, LP (“Visium”) will be made only by means of a confidential private offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum and in such jurisdictions where permitted by law. Any
investment decision in connection with the Funds should be made only on the information contained in the confidential private offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum that will be
provided to prospective investors. This summary is not intended to constitute legal, tax or accounting advice, or investment recommendations. This summary, the information contained herein, and any oral or
other written information disclosed or provided is strictly confidential and may not be reproduced or redistributed, in whole or in part, nor may its contents be disclosed to any other person under any
circumstances. Past performance is not indicative of future results. There can be no assurances that investors will have returns on invested capital similar to the returns presented because of, among other reasons,
differences in economic conditions, regulatory climate, portfolio size, leverage, expenses and structure, as well as investment policies and techniques. An investment in the Funds is speculative and involves a
high degree of risk. The Funds will employ certain trading techniques, such as short selling and the use of leverage, which may increase the risk of investment loss. As a result, performance may be volatile, and
an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of its investment. Furthermore, the Funds have substantial limitations on an investor’s ability to redeem or transfer its shares, and there is no secondary market
for an interest in the Funds and none is expected to develop. Finally, the Funds’ fees and expenses may offset trading profits. These risks and other important risks are described in detail in a confidential private
offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum available for each of the Funds. Prospective investors are strongly urged to review the relevant confidential private offering memorandum or
confidential explanatory memorandum carefully, and consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors before making an investment in the Funds.
Unless noted otherwise below, Funds' returns include income from new issues and the reinvestment of earnings and are presented net of all fees and expenses. Returns for the current year are estimated,
unaudited, and subject to revision without notice.
The indices referenced herein have not been selected to represent appropriate benchmarks, and the volatility of the indices may be materially different from that of an investor's investment. Investors cannot
invest directly in indices, and securities that track indices may charge fees.
VISIUM BALANCED FUND: The information presented in the summary is a hypothetical composite summary of performance of the Visium Balanced Fund, LP and Visium Balanced Offshore Fund, Ltd.
(from November 1, 2005 to present) and pro forma performance from accounts managed by Jacob Gottlieb for Balyasny Asset Management, LP (from January 1, 2002 to October 31, 2005) and Schonfeld
Securities LLC (from April 16, 2001 to December 31, 2001).
For the period November 1, 2005 to present, the information presented is based on the actual result of a Series A, new issue eligible investor in the Visium Balanced Fund, LP and a Class A, Subclass 1, new
issue eligible investor in the Visium Balanced Offshore Fund, Ltd. For the period April 16, 2001 to October 31, 2005, all composite return data regarding Mr. Gottlieb’s investment performance presented here
is hypothetical although the information is based on the actual dollar profit and loss (the “Gross Profit and Loss”) of Mr. Gottlieb’s accounts that he managed for Balyasny Asset Management, LP (“BAM”) and
that he managed while employed at Schonfeld Securities LLC (“Schonfeld”). The Gross Profit and Loss has been obtained from the brokerage account statements for the BAM accounts from January 1, 2002 –
May 31, 2005 and from Schonfeld’s internal records for the Schonfeld account from April 16, 2001 – December 31, 2001. The Schonfeld account was a proprietary trading account; the BAM accounts were
proprietary trading accounts until January 21, 2004, at which time they became a portfolio in a master-feeder hedge fund.
The pro forma net performance presented in the summary is calculated by applying a model fee to the Gross Profit and Loss. The model fee includes those fees that are charged to investors in the Visium
Balanced Fund, LP including a 2% management fee, an operating expense assumption of 0.15% to 0.30% per annum and a 20% performance fee. These fees were not the actual fees charged to the investors in
the BAM accounts or the Schonfeld account. The BAM accounts were charged an average annual implied fee of 57% of gross profits, consisting of a direct allocation of operating expenses, traders’
compensation and a performance fee from January 1, 2002 to January 20, 2004. The BAM accounts had their expenses passed through including portfolio manager compensation and an incentive fee of 0% to
30% from January 21, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and 20% in 2005. For the period from January 1, 2002 to October 31, 2005 the pro forma net performance was calculated using Mr. Gottlieb’s estimated
notional capital base that was allocated to the BAM accounts (the “Capital Base”). There are limited records in respect to the Capital Base in 2002 and for that time frame a good faith estimate of capital
allocation was used. The Capital Base represents the notional or leverage capital that Mr. Gottlieb was allocated to manage the BAM accounts and this Capital Base exceeded the actual equity of the BAM
accounts. For the period from April 16, 2001 to December 31, 2001, pro forma net performance was calculated using the monthly average gross market value of the Schonfeld account (the “Gross Market
Value”). The Gross Market Value represents the value of all long and all short positions in the Schonfeld account and this Gross Market Value exceeded the actual equity of the Schonfeld account. Since the
performance was being calculated using the Capital Base or Gross Market Value, as if it were equity, the interest charges associated with the BAM accounts and Schonfeld account have been reversed where that
information is available. Furthermore, by utilizing the Gross Market Value or Capital Base rather than the equity base for calculating returns, the performance results may be underrepresented; positive
performance would have been better and negative performance would have been worse. The year to date returns are presented using compounding which assumes the reinvestment of earnings and dividends
whereas for these accounts the gross profit and loss was not reinvested and the Capital Base remained fixed excepting for changes in the allocation of the Capital Base.

Visium Credit Opportunities Fund
Disclosures
VISIUM INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS FUND: Visium Institutional Partners Master Fund, Ltd., Visium Institutional Partners Fund, Ltd. and Visium Institutional Partners, LP commenced operations in June
2010. Performance presented beginning June 2010 reflects the performance of a Class A investment in Visium Institutional Partners Fund, Ltd. Pro forma performance presented in the summary prior to June 2010
is hypothetical information based on profits and losses attributable to securities of underlying issuers with market capitalization in excess of USD $1 billion (the “VIP Gross Profit and Loss”), held or traded in the
primary long/short equities strategy of Visium Balanced Offshore Fund, Ltd. from November 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008 and Visium Balanced Master Fund, Ltd. from January 1, 2009 onwards (the “Balanced
Funds”). The VIP Gross Profit and Loss amounts have been obtained from the records of the Balanced Funds’ administrator. “Gross Exposure” represents the sum of the values of all long and all short positions in
the Balances Funds of issuers with market capitalization in excess of USD $1 billion and may have at times exceeded the net asset value of the Balanced Funds. Pro forma performance was calculated based on the
Gross Exposure of the Balanced Funds. By utilizing the Gross Exposure rather than net asset value for calculating returns, the performance results may be underrepresented (i.e. positive performance would have
been better and negative performance would have been worse). Hypothetical performance presented does not include management fees, incentive fees and customary expenses paid by the Balanced Funds. The
performance of these portfolios reflect the assumptions, views, and analytical methods of Visium. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance
record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the portfolios represented do not represent actual portfolios, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain
market factors, such as market disruptions, lack of liquidity and the effect of interest rates. Simulated trading programs are subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. There can be no
assurance that Visium would have taken or will take positions similar to those taken in the results presented. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to
those shown above. There are frequently sharp differences between the hypothetical performance results and the results subsequently achieved by any particular trading or investment program.
VISIUM GLOBAL FUND: The information presented above for the period October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2009 is a composite summary of the historical performance of portfolios managed by Visium. The
Visium Global Fund, LP commenced operations on April 1, 2009 and the Visium Global Offshore Fund, Ltd. commenced operations on May 1, 2010. The returns are presented with an implied management fee of
2% of net assets and incentive fees of 20% of net profits.
VISIUM TAX ALPHA FUND, LP: Visium Tax Alpha Fund, LP commenced operations on January 1, 2011. The information presented is based on the actual result of a Class A limited partner.

operations on April 1, 2010. For the period September 1, 2009 to present, the information presented is based on the actual result of a Class A investor in Credit Onshore. For the period May 1, 2009 to August 31,
2009, the information presented is based on the result of a special limited partner in Credit Onshore with implied management and incentive fees equivalent to those of a Series A investor.
VISIUM CATALYST EVENT DRIVEN FUND: Visium Catalyst Event Driven Fund, LP ("VC Event Driven Onshore"), formerly known as The Catalyst Fund, L.P., commenced operations on May 1, 1995.
Visium Catalyst Event Driven Offshore Fund, Ltd. ("VC Event Driven Offshore," together with VC Event Driven Onshore, the "VC Event Driven Funds"), formerly known as The Catalyst Fund Offshore, Ltd.,

date of commencement of operations, paying a management fee of 1% per annum and an annual performance fee of 20% subject to a high water mark. Francis X. Gallagher and Peter A. Drippé became portfolio
managers of the VC Event Driven Funds on January 1, 2001, having previously served as equity analysts since the inception of VC Event Driven Onshore.

  • 12. Visium Asset Management – Business Model and Fund Overview 10 Visium Asset Management is an integrated management company focused on providing single strategy and multi-strategy investments to investors and their advisors. Visium integrates and supports its portfolio teams through a central infrastructure managed by experienced business professionals who provide marketing, trading, risk management, administrative services, compliance, accounting, and back office functions. This structure allows the portfolio teams to spend the majority of their time on investing, similar to the structure of a traditional investment management organization. The Visium funds are designed to have low correlation to benchmarks. Visium Asset Management offers 7 funds: ▪ Visium Balanced Fund – long/short equity healthcare fund (Page 11) ▪ Visium Global Fund – multi-strategy diversified fund (Page 12) ▪ Visium Credit Opportunities Fund – long/short credit healthcare fund (Page 13) ▪ Visium Institutional Partners Fund – mid- and large-cap long/short equity healthcare fund (Page 14) ▪ Visium Tax Alpha Fund – multi-strategy fund with an active tax optimization approach (Page 15) ▪ Visium Catalyst Event Driven Fund – multi-strategy event driven fund (Page 16) ▪ Visium Catalyst Credit Fund – event driven credit and distressed fund (Page 17) The Visium structure allows the investment teams the autonomy of their operating teams. Our belief is that the alignment of incentives combined with the Visium infrastructure will prove critical to achieving product sustainability, promoting team collaboration, retaining quality personnel, and building long-term franchise value. The revenue split to the managers is focused on delivering higher marginal incentives based on returns to clients. The capacity of funds is limited to not accept more assets than the manager can effectively utilize. Jacob Gottlieb controls the General Partnership. Each of the strategies and has real-time capability to monitor trading, risk, cash and securities movements.

  • 35. Visium Credit Opportunities Fund Disclosure GENERAL DISCLOSURES: All information contained herein is preliminary and subject to revision and completion. This summary is intended only for the person or entity to which it has been delivered. This summary is not an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any security. An offering of interests in pooled investment vehicles (the "Funds") managed or advised by Visium Asset Management, LP (“Visium”) will be made only by means of a confidential private offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum and in such jurisdictions where permitted by law. Any investment decision in connection with the Funds should be made only on the information contained in the confidential private offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum that will be provided to prospective investors. This summary is not intended to constitute legal, tax or accounting advice, or investment recommendations. This summary, the information contained herein, and any oral or other written information disclosed or provided is strictly confidential and may not be reproduced or redistributed, in whole or in part, nor may its contents be disclosed to any other person under any circumstances. Past performance is not indicative of future results. There can be no assurances that investors will have returns on invested capital similar to the returns presented because of, among other reasons, differences in economic conditions, regulatory climate, portfolio size, leverage, expenses and structure, as well as investment policies and techniques. An investment in the Funds is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Funds will employ certain trading techniques, such as short selling and the use of leverage, which may increase the risk of investment loss. As a result, performance may be volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of its investment. Furthermore, the Funds have substantial limitations on an investor’s ability to redeem or transfer its shares, and there is no secondary market for an interest in the Funds and none is expected to develop. Finally, the Funds’ fees and expenses may offset trading profits. These risks and other important risks are described in detail in a confidential private offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum available for each of the Funds. Prospective investors are strongly urged to review the relevant confidential private offering memorandum or confidential explanatory memorandum carefully, and consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors before making an investment in the Funds. Unless noted otherwise below, Funds' returns include income from new issues and the reinvestment of earnings and are presented net of all fees and expenses. Returns for the current year are estimated, unaudited, and subject to revision without notice. The indices referenced herein have not been selected to represent appropriate benchmarks, and the volatility of the indices may be materially different from that of an investor's investment. Investors cannot invest directly in indices, and securities that track indices may charge fees. VISIUM BALANCED FUND: The information presented in the summary is a hypothetical composite summary of performance of the Visium Balanced Fund, LP and Visium Balanced Offshore Fund, Ltd. (from November 1, 2005 to present) and pro forma performance from accounts managed by Jacob Gottlieb for Balyasny Asset Management, LP (from January 1, 2002 to October 31, 2005) and Schonfeld Securities LLC (from April 16, 2001 to December 31, 2001). For the period November 1, 2005 to present, the information presented is based on the actual result of a Series A, new issue eligible investor in the Visium Balanced Fund, LP and a Class A, Subclass 1, new issue eligible investor in the Visium Balanced Offshore Fund, Ltd. For the period April 16, 2001 to October 31, 2005, all composite return data regarding Mr. Gottlieb’s investment performance presented here is hypothetical although the information is based on the actual dollar profit and loss (the “Gross Profit and Loss”) of Mr. Gottlieb’s accounts that he managed for Balyasny Asset Management, LP (“BAM”) and that he managed while employed at Schonfeld Securities LLC (“Schonfeld”). The Gross Profit and Loss has been obtained from the brokerage account statements for the BAM accounts from January 1, 2002 – May 31, 2005 and from Schonfeld’s internal records for the Schonfeld account from April 16, 2001 – December 31, 2001. The Schonfeld account was a proprietary trading account; the BAM accounts were proprietary trading accounts until January 21, 2004, at which time they became a portfolio in a master-feeder hedge fund. The pro forma net performance presented in the summary is calculated by applying a model fee to the Gross Profit and Loss. The model fee includes those fees that are charged to investors in the Visium Balanced Fund, LP including a 2% management fee, an operating expense assumption of 0.15% to 0.30% per annum and a 20% performance fee. These fees were not the actual fees charged to the investors in the BAM accounts or the Schonfeld account. The BAM accounts were charged an average annual implied fee of 57% of gross profits, consisting of a direct allocation of operating expenses, traders’ compensation and a performance fee from January 1, 2002 to January 20, 2004. The BAM accounts had their expenses passed through including portfolio manager compensation and an incentive fee of 0% to 30% from January 21, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and 20% in 2005. For the period from January 1, 2002 to October 31, 2005 the pro forma net performance was calculated using Mr. Gottlieb’s estimated notional capital base that was allocated to the BAM accounts (the “Capital Base”). There are limited records in respect to the Capital Base in 2002 and for that time frame a good faith estimate of capital allocation was used. The Capital Base represents the notional or leverage capital that Mr. Gottlieb was allocated to manage the BAM accounts and this Capital Base exceeded the actual equity of the BAM accounts. For the period from April 16, 2001 to December 31, 2001, pro forma net performance was calculated using the monthly average gross market value of the Schonfeld account (the “Gross Market Value”). The Gross Market Value represents the value of all long and all short positions in the Schonfeld account and this Gross Market Value exceeded the actual equity of the Schonfeld account. Since the performance was being calculated using the Capital Base or Gross Market Value, as if it were equity, the interest charges associated with the BAM accounts and Schonfeld account have been reversed where that information is available. Furthermore, by utilizing the Gross Market Value or Capital Base rather than the equity base for calculating returns, the performance results may be underrepresented; positive performance would have been better and negative performance would have been worse. The year to date returns are presented using compounding which assumes the reinvestment of earnings and dividends whereas for these accounts the gross profit and loss was not reinvested and the Capital Base remained fixed excepting for changes in the allocation of the Capital Base. 36
  • 36. Visium Credit Opportunities Fund Disclosures VISIUM INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS FUND: Visium Institutional Partners Master Fund, Ltd., Visium Institutional Partners Fund, Ltd. and Visium Institutional Partners, LP commenced operations in June 2010. Performance presented beginning June 2010 reflects the performance of a Class A investment in Visium Institutional Partners Fund, Ltd. Pro forma performance presented in the summary prior to June 2010 is hypothetical information based on profits and losses attributable to securities of underlying issuers with market capitalization in excess of USD $1 billion (the “VIP Gross Profit and Loss”), held or traded in the primary long/short equities strategy of Visium Balanced Offshore Fund, Ltd. from November 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008 and Visium Balanced Master Fund, Ltd. from January 1, 2009 onwards (the “Balanced Funds”). The VIP Gross Profit and Loss amounts have been obtained from the records of the Balanced Funds’ administrator. “Gross Exposure” represents the sum of the values of all long and all short positions in the Balances Funds of issuers with market capitalization in excess of USD $1 billion and may have at times exceeded the net asset value of the Balanced Funds. Pro forma performance was calculated based on the Gross Exposure of the Balanced Funds. By utilizing the Gross Exposure rather than net asset value for calculating returns, the performance results may be underrepresented (i.e. positive performance would have been better and negative performance would have been worse). Hypothetical performance presented does not include management fees, incentive fees and customary expenses paid by the Balanced Funds. The performance of these portfolios reflect the assumptions, views, and analytical methods of Visium. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the portfolios represented do not represent actual portfolios, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as market disruptions, lack of liquidity and the effect of interest rates. Simulated trading programs are subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. There can be no assurance that Visium would have taken or will take positions similar to those taken in the results presented. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown above. There are frequently sharp differences between the hypothetical performance results and the results subsequently achieved by any particular trading or investment program.
