Governance is a priority for TPG and, in fact, we believe, through effective governance as active investors, we can have the greatest impact on environmental and social issues. Everything follows from Governance and thus, we have titled our TPG report as a “GES” report. This report is our 3rd Annual Report on a subject that has been critical to who we are and what we do as a firm since our founding. Looking back at how this subject has evolved over time, we of course have experienced significant, even dramatic, changes in the growth of our firm and the external context in which we do business — the business sectors, the geographies, government policies, global economic factors, and the ebb and flow of domestic and international politics. That said, no matter how these changes unfold, we have changed neither our beliefs, nor the fundamental principles that drive how we do business with respect to Sustainability and ESG. We have developed a Sustainability and ESG Program that adapts, responds, and seizes the opportunities present in those changes because the program is integrated into every aspect of the our business: due diligence on new investments; the operation of our portfolio companies; and our engagement with and reporting to our investors, partners, and the broader public. We believe that these principles and the TPG Sustainability and ESG Program are now more important than ever, and indeed, that now is the time to double down on our efforts. TPG and our portfolio companies will continue to play a constructive role in developing solutions to the challenges of climate change, human health, education, energy, clean water, agriculture and food supply, transportation, finance, and many others. We will deploy the talents of our people, capital in partnership with our investors, and the knowledge and experience of our portfolio companies to address these challenges. We will also continue to play a leadership role in advancing the agenda of organizations like the Principles for Responsible Investment. Our Sustainability and ESG Program and the underlying principles define who we are. We believe that our continued efforts to improve and drive the program more broadly and deeply across our investments and portfolio companies are essential to our responsibility to produce the best returns for our investors. The irrefutable evidence continues to come in from every business and every sector — energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation, communications, real estate, retail, tourism — that careful attention to safety, environmental protection, and governance oversight produces the highest value. We understand that simply asserting that conventional wisdom is not sufficient, and, as you will read in this report, we are refining our systems for measuring those results and driving value to our investors. David Bonderman Jim Coulter Jon Winkelried Beth Lowery Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer Co-Chief Executive Officer Senior Director Founding Partner and Founding Partner and Partner and Program Lead FORWARD FROM TPG LEADERSHIP 3 RESPONSIBLE INVESTORS Since its founding, TPG has focused on responsible investing through the life cycle of our investments. TPG has dedicated full-time resources to support its long-standing commitment to the Sustainability and ESG Program. The Firm’s Global Sustainability and ESG Policy (as described below) does not take a one- size-fits-all approach. We seek to be opportunistic where ESG initiatives can assist in creating enterprise value. TPG’s Global Sustainability and ESG Policy TPG’s Sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) Program supports the Firm’s long-standing consideration of environmental, health, and safety practices in due diligence, investment decisions, and operations. The broad set of Sustainability issues (including social and governance issues) have material influence on TPG Capital’s assessments of risk, valuation, profitability, and opportunity, across the portfolio. Our focus on Sustainability and ESG TPG’s commitment is to: issues enables: • Incorporate Sustainability and ESG considerations • Better investment decisions into our investment diligence and decisions • Enhanced results for investors, portfolio companies, • Ensure that Sustainability and ESG practices are stakeholders, and TPG implemented and that measurable results are achieved in our companies and our operations • TPG companies to be better global citizens • Strive for greater transparency from our companies PRE-INVESTMENT OWNERSHIP EXIT Sustainability and ESG Highlights 8 SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP 8% COUNCIL SUMMITS INCREASE IN ANNUAL HELD SELF-ASSESSMENT 110 PARTICIPANTS MEMBERS ON TPG VERSUS 2015 SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP COUNCIL PORTFOLIO COMPANY YAMMER WEB PORTAL 116 PORTFOLIO COMPANIES ENGAGED ON SUSTAINABILITY AND 53 ESG INITIATIVES SUSTAINABILITY AND 50+ ESG PERFORMANCE TPG COLLEAGUES THAT SELF-ASSESSMENT SIT ON NON-PROFIT 4.0 PARTICIPANTS BOARDS RESPONSIBLE INVESTORS 4 RESPONSIBLE INVESTORS To further our commitment to responsible investment and support the need for greater transparency within the industry, TPG became a signatory to the United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2013.

We recognize that the changes in the global environment affect our global business. As we grow and become more diverse, we will continue to ensure that Sustainability and ESG are integrated into all aspects of our Firm’s business and global matters of interest, as highlighted below, are addressed and widely understood.

    1 Wall Street's Content Wars

    1 Wall Street’s Content Wars: Financing Media Consolidation Andrew deWaard University of California, San Diego Forthcoming, in Content Wars: Tech Empires vs. Media Empires. Ed. Denise Mann. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2021. Abstract If we frame the ongoing streaming transition occurring in the cultural industries as ‘content wars,’ with metaphoric ‘battlefronts’ in Hollywood, in Silicon Valley, and on Madison Avenue, then the silent arms dealer in this conflict is Wall Street and the investor class, whose financial engineering goes largely unacknowledged in studies of the media industries. This chapter will explore the impact of private equity in the American film, television, and music industries since 2004. The mercenaries of these content wars, private equity firms have enacted leveraged buyouts in every sector of the cultural industries: major music labels (Warner, EMI), radio networks (Cumulus, Clear Channel/iHeartMedia), film and television production and distribution companies (MGM, Miramax, Univision, Dick Clark Productions), exhibition (AMC, Odeon), the top talent agencies (CCA, WME, IMG), audience measurement (Nielsen), and the trade press (Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard). The arms race in this conflict is the ability to monetize content catalogues across streaming platforms, which is a lucrative opportunity for financialization. From a critical political economy of media perspective attuned to the significance of financial capital, this chapter demonstrates that the financialization of various components of the media sector is facilitating a dramatic extraction of value from the cultural industries, leaving further consolidation in its wake. Who is profiting from the streaming transition and who is losing out? The answers are the same as in the wider economy of the second gilded age: the wealthy are extracting private, untaxed profit from the public arena while the middle class of creatives is being hollowed out.

    Impact Investing’

    Towards a Plural History of ‘Impact Investing’ by Jennifer Callahan A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Sustainability Management Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Jennifer Callahan 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ! ! ! ii Abstract Conceived in 2007, ‘impact investing’ is an activity whereby investors intentionally pursue social and/or environmental return alongside financial return. It has attracted increasing interest, including from transnational financial institutions, and proponents offer it as a means to help tackle historically underfunded sustainable development initiatives. The mostly positive reception for impact investing in the literature, however, tends to neglect both the North-South tensions that characterized global financial governance over the previous five decades and the recent emergence of South-South cooperation. Utilizing a critical realist approach, this thesis seeks to interpret the phenomenon of impact investing and understand why it has become popular. I use a framework partially derived from the concept of transnational neopluralism and perform a thematic analysis of written texts about the sector. Though originally nurtured by philanthropic organizations, the results show that impact investing became a central component of a new posture adopted by many Northern governments with respect to developing nations, especially after the 2008 financial crisis. This shift was reinforced by structural economic changes that altered the profit prospects for many transnational corporations based in the North; these included, but were not limited to, a growing emphasis on the management of the environment and natural resources.

    Institutional Investment, Venture Capital, and Private Equity in the Film and Television Industry

    Financialized Hollywood: Institutional Investment, Venture Capital, and Private Equity in the Film and Television Industry Andrew deWaard JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (formerly Cinema Journal) 59.4 (2020). Forthcoming. Post-print version including revisions. Andrew deWaard is an Assistant Professor of Media and Popular Culture at the University of California, San Diego and is the co-author of The Cinema of Steven Soderbergh: indie sex, corporate lies, and digital videotape (Columbia University Press/Wallflower, 2013). Abstract: The financial sector has a hidden, but dramatic effect on Hollywood: three institutional investors hold the largest investment stakes in nearly all major companies; corporate venture capital has arisen within every entertainment conglomerate; and private equity firms have enacted leveraged buyouts of companies in all sectors, including production, distribution, exhibition, talent agencies, audience measurement, trade press, and content catalogues. This article argues that “Financialized Hollywood” is a dangerous development; financial engineering strategies are extracting capital and reducing operational capacity, further depriving Hollywood of the diversity and heterogeneity it might provide the public sphere. Keywords: finance, media industries, political economy, venture capital, media consolidation After a breakdown in negotiations with the Association of Talent Agencies on April 12, 2019, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) took the unprecedented step of instructing its members to fire their agents. More than seven thousand writers—92 percent of the guild— dutifully fired their agent. At issue was the WGA’s new Code of Conduct that prohibited agents from taking packaging fees (which they claim is a breach of fiduciary duty, as it incentivizes agencies to negotiate a lower fee for talent) or engaging in production (which they claim is a conflict of interest, as the agencies are again incentivized to lower fees).
