STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors present their Strategic report and financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021. Terzo Beauty UK Limited was formed on 4 March 2021 under the laws of England and Wales.
Terzo Beauty UK Limited acts as a holding company necessary for the efficient operation of Bluegem III SCSp (The Fund).
Terzo Beauty UK Limited investments held at 31 December 2021: Ecooking On 30 March 2021, the Company acquired 70% of Ecooking ApS and House of Cosmetics A/S. Ecooking is a Danish personal care brand founded in 2015, selling skin, body and hair care products. The business generates approximately 86% of sales in Denmark with a growing presence internationally. House of Cosmetics designs, formulates and develops personal care brands as a private label service though the Group does not directly manufacture. The sales of Ecooking were DKK 149m in 2021, representing around 33% growth year-on-year and the adjusted EBITDA was DKK 6m.
Credit risk - losses could be incurred due to declines in the creditworthiness of the entities in which the Company invests; this is dependent upon the capital structure robustness and the default probability of the investee companies. This is one of the most important risks that the Directors monitor and we do so on a company-by-company basis. For each, we receive and review monthly management numbers, including an income statement, balance sheet and a cash flow statement. We also spend time developing new, and maintain existing, relationships with funding providers to make sure that the portfolio companies have adequate access to funding at the required levels and appropriate costs.
Liquidity risk - the illiquidity of private equity partnership interests exposes investors to asset liquidity risk associated with selling conditions in the secondary market at a discount on the reported net asset value and the unpredictable timing of cash flows. In order to mitigate this risk, the Directors monitor the status and the development of the market on a recurring and consistent basis, with the objective of being ready when a window of opportunity for sale materialises. Market (and Capital) risk - Private Equity investments can be affected by numerous factors, including (but not limited to) the equity market exposure, interest rates and foreign exchanges, correlations and event risk. This is a macro risk that we monitor on an ongoing basis by speaking with analysts, reviewing research and analysing data. Operational risk - relates to risk associated with and supporting the operating environment of the subsidiaries. The operating environment includes cash controls, technology and systems, legal and compliance, accounting, administration, valuation and reporting. Cash controls in place ensure that no funds can be sent without the authorization of two senior management. The Company has a strong team of external and internal experts in both legal and compliance. Foreign exchange - the Company makes investments in currencies other than Euros, and as such, there is currency exposure for the non-Euro denominated investments. The Company does not actively hedge these currency exposures, but instead the relevant FX/Euro rates are monitored and should there be significant adverse movement or significant concern about future movement then at that point a suitable instrument hedge would be considered.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
As Terzo Beauty UK Limited does not trade the only indicator on its performance is the maintained value of its investments.
Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 requires a director of a company to act in the way he or she considers, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of The Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing this Section 172 requires a director to have regard, amongst other matters, to the:
• Likely consequences of any decisions in the long-term; • Interests of the company’s employees; • Need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; • Impact of the company’s operations on the community and environment; • Desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and • Need to act fairly as between members of the company. In discharging our Section 172 duties we have regard to the matters set out above. We also have regard to other factors which we consider relevant to the decision being made. Those factors, for example, include the interests and our relationship to our subsidiaries. By considering the Company’s purpose, vision and values together with its strategic priorities and having a process in place for decision making, we do, however, aim to make sure that our decisions are consistent and predictable. The directors are in regular communication with subsidiaries and parent Companies along with other stakeholders. Structured engagement and opportunities for feedback also take place, for example, via regular business updates, which allow key stakeholders to exchange information and ask questions. This combination of engagements with stakeholders allows us to understand the nature of the stakeholders’ concerns and to comply with our Section 172 duty to promote the success of the Company.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the period, after taxation, amounted to €8,696,464.
As at the year end, no dividend has been proposed or paid.
The directors who served during the period were:
The Company has not disclosed information in respect of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and energy efficiency action as its energy consumption in the United Kingdom for the period is 40,000kWh or lower.
The directors have opted to include mandatory disclosures concerning principal risks and uncertainties and procedures to engage with customers, suppliers and other stakeholder in the Strategic Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TERZO BEAUTY UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Terzo Beauty UK Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TERZO BEAUTY UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

TERZO BEAUTY UK LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TERZO BEAUTY UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity. Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Company Law and tax legislation. Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud. No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

(i) Recognition
The investments are recognised on the trade date. All other financial assets are recognised when they become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. (ii) Subsequent measurement After initial measurement, the Company measures financial instruments which are classified as at FVPL at fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of those financial instruments are recorded in net gain or loss on financial assets at FVPL in the statement of income and retained earnings.

TERZO BEAUTY UK LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The preparation of statutory financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of accounting estimates and exercise of judgement by the Directors while applying the Company's accounting policies. These estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of the events which existed at the statement of financial position date; however, the actual results may differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in each period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Key sources of estimation uncertainty One of the areas requiring a higher degree of estimation uncertainty and which involves significant assumptions is the valuation of investments which are classified as 'fair value through profit or loss'. The fair values of securities that are not quoted in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily earnings multiples, which considers one or more financial measures such as revenues, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, net income or net asset value, and/or discounted cash flows. The models used to determine fair values are validated and periodically reviewed by the Directors. The inputs in the earnings multiples models include observable data, such as earnings multiples of comparable companies to the relevant portfolio company, and unobservable data, such as forecast earnings for the portfolio company. Given the magnitude of the carrying values of the underlying investments, Directors conclusions are highly sensitive to changes to any changes in the estimations made. In particular, estimating the earnings multiples to apply involves significant Directors judgment and actual results may vary.
