+Added: Although some of our funds are focused on socially responsible-, climate- or transition-focused investing with non-concessionary financial returns, these or other funds may make investments that fund investors or stockholders view as inconsistent with their ESG standards or commitments.
+Added: If our ESG practices or third-party ratings do not meet the standards set by these fund investors or stockholders, or if we fail, or are perceived to fail, to demonstrate progress toward their ESG expectations, they may choose not to invest in our funds or exclude our Class A common stock from their investments, and we may face reputational damage.
+Added: To the extent our access to capital from fund investors focused on ESG ratings or matters is impaired, we may not be able to maintain or increase the size of our funds or raise sufficient capital for
+Added: new funds, which may adversely affect our revenues.
+Added: Further, there can be no assurance that fund investors and other stakeholders will determine that our ESG initiatives are sufficiently robust.
+Added: There also can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any announced ESG initiatives, as statements regarding ESG initiatives reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them within the timelines we announce or at all.
+Added: Further, as part of our ESG practices, we rely on the services and methodologies of Y Analytics, an affiliated public benefit organization, and other third parties.
+Added: Such services and methodologies by Y Analytics or other third parties could prove to be inaccurate and there can be no assurance that they will be successful.
+Added: The occurrence of any of the foregoing could negatively impact our relationships with fund investors, our funds’ performance, our ability to raise funds and capital and the price of our Class A common stock, all of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
+Added: Anti-ESG sentiment has gained momentum in the United States, with the Federal government and many states having enacted or proposed “anti-ESG” policies or legislation or taken related legal interpretations.
+Added: These include, for example, (i) targeting financial institutions that “boycott” or “discriminate against” companies in certain industries by prohibiting state entities from doing business with such institutions and/or investing the state’s assets (including pension plan assets) through such institutions;
+Added: and (ii) ESG investment prohibitions requiring that state entities or managers/administrators of state investments make investments based solely on pecuniary factors without consideration of ESG factors.
+Added: If fund investors subject to such policies or legislation viewed our funds or ESG practices, including our climate-related impact strategies, as being in contradiction of such “anti-ESG” policies, legislation or legal interpretations, such fund investors may not invest in, or may exit, our funds, our ability to maintain the size of our funds could be impaired, and it could negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
+Added: Additionally, asset managers have been subject to scrutiny on antitrust grounds related to ESG-focused industry working groups, initiatives and associations, including organizations taking action seeking to address climate change or climate-related risk.
+Added: Further, scrutiny of corporate diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) practices has increased and continues to increase.
+Added: Some state attorneys general, private parties and members of Congress are asserting that certain corporate DEI practices are unlawful.
+Added: There have been widely publicized social media campaigns criticizing the DEI practices at some companies.
+Added: In addition, the Trump administration has announced initiatives targeting DEI programs and related measures that seek to address social inequality, including ending affirmative action regulations for federal contracts and directing government agencies to identify prominent businesses and other organizations for possible enforcement actions.
+Added: Such anti-ESG and anti-DEI related policies, legislation, initiatives and scrutiny could increase our compliance costs, expose us to the risk of litigation, antitrust investigations and/or challenges by federal or state authorities, result in injunctions, penalties and reputational harm and/or require certain investors to divest or discourage certain fund investors from investing in our funds.
+Added: Regulators in several jurisdictions have scrutinized ESG-related disclosures by asset managers, which exposes us to additional risks.
+Added: For example, this additional scrutiny has increased the risk that we could be perceived as, or accused of, making inaccurate or misleading statements regarding the investment strategies or governance of our funds or our and the funds’ ESG efforts, programs or initiatives, often referred to as “greenwashing.” Any such perception or accusation could damage our reputation, result in litigation or regulatory actions, and adversely impact our ability to raise capital and attract new fund investors.
+Added: In addition, there has been significant regulatory focus on ESG-related practices by investment managers and operating companies, in particular relating to increasing transparency regarding the definition, measurement and disclosure of ESG factors to allow investors and other stakeholders to better understand and validate sustainability claims and performance.
+Added: More generally, national and supranational regulatory priorities and legislation regarding ESG in the United States and other jurisdictions applicable to us, our funds and their portfolio companies are highly uncertain and continue to evolve, and future developments could adversely affect our business.
+Added: Among other impacts, compliance with new and shifting requirements may lead to increased management burdens and costs.
+Added: There is also a risk of mismatch between U.S., European Union (“EU”), U.K.
+Added: and other regulatory initiatives and related requirements, which may vary at the fund, advisor and public company level.
+Added: We, our funds and their portfolio companies could become subject to additional ESG-related regulations, penalties and/or risks of regulatory scrutiny and enforcement in the future.
+Added: We cannot guarantee that our current or future ESG program and practices will comply with future regulatory requirements, new interpretations of current regulatory requirements, reporting frameworks or best practices, or changing perceptions of ESG or anti-ESG advocates or policymakers regarding acceptable practices, thus increasing the risk of investor, regulatory and/or other stakeholder scrutiny.
+Added: If any governmental authority, regulatory agency or similar body were to take issue with our past or future practices, then we, our funds and/or their portfolio companies may be at risk for regulatory sanction, and any such investigations could be costly, distracting, time consuming and/or harmful to our reputation and business.
+Added: Further, with respect to both voluntary and mandated ESG disclosures, we and our portfolio companies may not successfully implement measurement processes and disclosure controls and procedures that meet evolving investor, regulatory or other stakeholder expectations.
+Added: Any enhancements to such processes and controls may be costly and give rise to significant administrative burdens and may present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks.
+Added: If we or our portfolio companies do not successfully implement controls related to reporting ESG information or cannot readily obtain such information, this could result in legal liability and reputational damage, which could impact our ability to attract and retain fund investors.
+Added: We and many of our portfolio companies also may undertake voluntary reporting on various ESG matters, including those relating to greenhouse gas emissions and human capital management.
+Added: The standards for tracking and reporting on ESG matters continue to evolve.
+Added: Subsequent modification or restatement of voluntary information previously reported may create legal, reputational or business risk.
+Added: The European Commission has adopted an action plan on financing sustainable growth, as well as initiatives at the EU level, such as the SFDR (as defined below).
+Added: See “—Risks Related to Our Industry—Regulatory initiatives in jurisdictions outside the United States could negatively impact our business—SFDR.” Compliance with the SFDR and other ESG-related rules and frameworks has and is expected to result in increased legal, compliance, engagement, reporting and other associated costs and expenses which would be borne by us and our funds because of the need to collect certain information to meet the disclosure requirements, which are highly dynamic and subject to change.
+Added: If regulators disagree with the procedures or standards we use for responsible investing, or new regulations or legislation require a methodology of measuring, verifying or disclosing ESG or impact factors that differ from our current practices or necessitate a redesignation of our funds subject to SFDR, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
+Added: As currently adopted, although subject to pending proposals, each of the Taxonomy Regulation (as defined below), the SFDR and the associated regulatory technical standards remain subject to change, as a series of initiatives are ongoing for review and potential revision of each.
+Added: If the proposals are adopted, certain TPG funds would likely be required to update existing disclosures provided to investors, or changes to the investment portfolio of particular funds or name changes to particular funds may be necessary.

7 unchanged sentences
In addition, if a general partner is removed for certain bad acts, the amount of accrued performance allocations we would otherwise receive may significantly decrease.
+Added: Our funds often permit our funds’ investors to dissolve the fund prematurely upon the election of a specified percentage of investors, and the relevant threshold is increasingly a majority-in-interest of the fund’s investors.

+Added: In addition, most of our funds provide for the termination of the fund’s the commitment period early upon the election of a specified percentage of investors, and if exercised the fund’s ability to consummate, manage and/or dispose of its investments or otherwise achieve its investment objectives is likely to be negatively affected, and would result in a reduction in the amount of management fees that we are entitled to receive.
+Added: We do not know whether, or under what circumstances, our funds’ investors are likely to exercise any such right.
In addition, because our funds generally have an adviser registered under the Advisers Act, each fund’s management agreement must require the fund’s consent for any “assignment” of the agreement, which may be deemed to occur in the event the investment advisers of our funds were to experience a change of control.
