Steel Capital will play an active role in its companies, beginning in the pre-closing stages when its management work closely with management in the development of a plan for the business. Once an investment is made, Steel Capital does not generally play a role in the day-to-day management of a portfolio company.

However, consistent with their role as lead equity investors, Steel Capital's management and their associates will participate actively at the board level and, by creating operating partnerships with management, employ their expertise, knowledge and relationships to benefit the business.
