Employment Terms
- Officers are appointed by the Directors, “serve at the pleasure of the Board,” and may be removed at any time with or without cause; officers hold office until a successor is elected and qualified or earlier death, inability to serve, or resignation .
- Business address for officers is 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104 .
- Role scope: “Chief Legal Officer” designation applies only for purposes of SOX Sections 307 (standards of conduct for attorneys) and 406 (code of ethics for senior financial officers), indicating a compliance-focused remit rather than operating performance accountability .
Investment Implications
- Pay-for-performance transparency: Officer compensation for NBH fund officers is not disclosed (officers receive no compensation from the Funds), limiting assessment of incentive alignment, severance, change-of-control, or clawback terms at the Fund level .
- Ownership alignment: Aggregate officer and director ownership is below 1%, and the principal executive and principal financial officers hold no shares; no individual officer holdings for Nahoum are disclosed, reducing direct fund-level alignment signals and minimizing insider selling pressure attributable to him .
- Governance and retention: Officers serve at the pleasure of the Board with at-will removal, providing Board flexibility but leaving employment contract economics (non-compete, severance, change-of-control triggers) unreported for fund officers; retention risk cannot be evaluated from the proxy .
- Compliance orientation: Nahoum’s SOX-limited Chief Legal Officer designation and attorney-in-fact authority on Section 16 filings emphasize a legal/compliance role; no operational performance metrics are tied to his Fund role in the proxy .
