At a meeting held on
November 21, 2006, the Board of Directors of PARADIGM Multi Strategy Fund
I, LLC (the
“Portfolio”) and the Board of Trustees of PARADIGM Funds Trust (the
“Trust” and,
collectively with the Portfolio, the
“Funds”) on behalf of the Funds, approved a new advisory
arrangement in which Longship Capital Management, LLC would serve as the investment adviser of the
Funds and PARADIGM Global Advisors, LLC (
“PGA”) would serve as sub-investment adviser of the Funds
(
“New Adviser/Sub-Adviser Arrangement”). In connection with the change of control of PGA set forth
in the supplement dated
June 23, 2006, below, PGA has continued to provide investment advisory
services to the Trust and the Portfolio pursuant to interim investment advisory agreements during
the period following the change in control. All fees relating to such investment advisory services
have been escrowed until final disposition of these matters. Each Board considered at its meeting,
among other things, that during the course of PGA’s negotiations in connection with the change of
control transaction, the structure of the PGA reorganization was modified effective
August 11,
2006, so that PGA is now controlled by R. Hunter Biden, its Chief Executive Officer, and James B.
Biden through an entity currently wholly-owned by them. In addition, each Board elected two new
Independent Directors/Trustees, Nelson A. Diaz and Ernest E. Jones. In connection with the PGA
reorganization, Ezra Zask resigned as President of the Funds as of
September 29, 2006. R. Hunter
Biden was subsequently elected as the Funds’ Chief Executive Officer effective upon the acceptance
of Mr. Zask’s resignation. In addition, three Independent Directors/Trustees resigned effective
September 19, 2006.
It is anticipated that shareholders of the Funds will be asked to, among other things, (i)
approve the New Adviser/Sub-Adviser Arrangement and (ii) elect Trustees and Directors at a special
meeting of the shareholders. It is expected that proxy materials covering these proposals will be
mailed to respective Shareholders of record in February 2007.
In connection with the New Adviser/Sub-Adviser Arrangement, Dr. James Park will serve as a
consultant to PGA while its other key investment analysts remain with PGA, as will its Chief
Compliance Officer, Ronald E. Wilhelm.
