Check the appropriate boxes below to designate any transactions to which the statement relates:

Check the following box if the filing is a final amendment reporting the results of the tender offer:

Please note that just as each Shareholder has the right to withdraw its tender prior to the Notice Due Date, the Fund has the right to cancel, amend or postpone the Offer at any time before the Notice Due Date. Please also note that although the Offer is scheduled to expire on March 30, 2023 (unless it is extended), a Shareholder that tenders all of its Shares will remain a Shareholder of the Fund through the Valuation Date, notwithstanding the Fund’s acceptance of the Shareholder’s Shares for purchase.

(a)           The name of the issuer is “Ares Private Markets Fund.” The Fund is registered under the 1940 Act, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, and is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The principal executive office of the Fund is located at 245 Park Avenue, 44^th Floor, New York, NY 10167, and its telephone number is (212) 750-7300.

(b)           The title of the securities that are the subject of the Offer is “shares of beneficial interest,” or portions thereof, in the Fund. The offers two classes of Shares: Class D and Class I. As of the close of business on January 31, 2023, the net asset value of the Fund was $281,973,423.42 and there were 10,973,382.54 Shares outstanding, comprised of 33,333.74 Class D Shares and 10,940,048.81 Class I Shares. The net asset value per Class D Share and Class I Share as of the close of business on January 31, 2023 was $25.66 and $25.70, respectively. Subject to the conditions set out in the Offer, the Fund will purchase Shares in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by and not withdrawn by Shareholders as described above in Item 1.

(c)           There is no established trading market for the Shares, and any transfer of Shares is strictly limited by the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated March 23, 2022 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Declaration of Trust”).

The name of the filing person (i.e., the Fund and the subject company) is “Ares Private Markets Fund.” The Fund’s principal executive office is located at 245 Park Avenue, 44^th Floor, New York, NY 10167 and the telephone number is (212) 750-7300. The Fund’s investment adviser is Ares Capital Management II LLC (the “Adviser”). The principal executive office of the Adviser is located at 245 Park Avenue, 44^th Floor, New York, NY 10167. The Fund’s executive officers are Barry M. Miller, Timothy L. Haviland and Tina St. Pierre, and the members of the Fund’s Board are Francisco Borges, Rajat Dhanda, Patrick Dooley, Edward Lewis, David Sachs, Paola Sapienza and Kent Weldon, and their address is c/o Ares Capital Management II LLC, 245 Park Avenue, 44^th Floor, New York, NY 10167.

(a)(1)

(i)            Subject to the conditions set out in the Offer, the Fund will purchase Shares in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by Shareholders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 30, 2023 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) and not withdrawn as described in Item 4(a)(1)(vi).

(ii)           The value of the Shares tendered to the Fund for purchase will be the net asset value as of the close of business on March 31, 2023, or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date, after the reduction for all fees (including the early repurchase fee), any required tax withholding and other liabilities of the Fund to the extent accrued or otherwise attributable to the Shares being repurchased. See Item 4(a)(1)(v) below. A Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the Shareholder’s purchase of the Shares. Shares tendered for repurchase will be treated as having been repurchased on a “first in-first out” basis. An early repurchase fee payable by a Shareholder may be waived by the Fund in circumstances where the Board determines that doing so is in the best interests of the Fund. To the extent the Fund determines to waive, impose scheduled variations of, or eliminate an early repurchase fee, it will do so consistently with the requirements of Rule 22d-1 under the 1940 Act, and the Fund’s waiver of, scheduled variation in, or elimination of, the early repurchase fee will apply uniformly to all Shareholders regardless of Share class. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000. Such minimum account balance may be waived by the Fund, in its sole discretion. If such requirement is not waived by the Board, the Fund may redeem all of the Shareholder’s Shares. To the extent a Shareholder seeks to tender all of the Shares it owns and the Fund repurchases less than the full amount of Shares that the Shareholder requests to have repurchased, the Shareholder may maintain a balance of Shares of less than $10,000 following such Share repurchase. Shares will be repurchased on a “first in-first out” basis. Therefore, Shares repurchased will be deemed to have been taken from the earliest purchase of Shares by such Shareholder (adjusted for subsequent net profits and net losses) until all such Shares have been repurchased, and then from each subsequent purchase of Shares by such Shareholder (adjusted for subsequent net profits and net losses) until such Shares are repurchased.

The Fund will provide payment to each Shareholder whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase an amount equal to at least 95% of the value of the repurchased Shares, determined as of the Valuation Date in the manner specified above, within 65 days of the Notice Due Date. The Board has discretion to hold back a portion of the amount due to all tendering Shareholders, which shall not exceed 5% of the total amount due to all tendering Shareholders. If there is such a holdback, the second and final payment for the balance due shall be paid no later than 5 business days after the completion of the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal year in which the applicable repurchase is effected, with such balance being subject to adjustment as a result of the Fund’s annual audit or as a result of any other corrections to the Fund’s net asset value as of the Valuation Date for the repurchase. The determination of the value of Shares as of the Valuation Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which such Valuation Date occurred. If, based upon the results of the annual audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year in which the Valuation Date of such repurchase occurred, it is determined that the value at which the Shares were repurchased was incorrect, the Fund shall decrease such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any overpayment and redeem for no additional consideration a number of Shares having a value equal to such amount, or increase such Shareholder’s account balance by the amount of any underpayment and issue for no additional consideration a number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to such amount, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable following the completion of such audits.

The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.

(iii)          The Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 30, 2023. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by that time, unless the Offer is extended in the absolute discretion of the Board.

(iv)          Not applicable.

(v)           At the absolute discretion of the Board, the Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open by notifying Shareholders of such extension. If the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined at the close of business on a day determined by the Fund and notified to the Shareholders. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. At the absolute discretion of the Board, the Fund also reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, up to and including the Notice Due Date, to: (a) cancel the Offer in the circumstances set out in Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase dated March 3, 2023, and, in the event of such cancellation, not to purchase or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) amend the Offer; and (c) postpone the acceptance of Shares. If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify the Shareholders.

(vi)          Until the Notice Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, March 30, 2023 (or, if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) by following the tender procedures described herein. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if the Fund has not yet accepted a Shareholder’s tender of Shares on or prior to April 27, 2023 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), a Shareholder will also have the right to withdraw its tender of its Shares after such date.

(vii)         Shareholders wishing to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer should send or deliver a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to SS&C to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or fax a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to SS&C, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by SS&C, either by mail or by fax, no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 30, 2023 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date). The Fund recommends that all documents be submitted to SS&C by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission. Please note that faxes are only allowed if no medallion signature guarantee is required and there is no custodian on the Shareholder’s account.

Any Shareholder tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer may withdraw its tender as described above in Item 4(a)(1)(vi). To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by SS&C at the address or fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. A tender of Shares properly withdrawn shall not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described above.

(viii)        For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted (and thereby purchased) Shares that are tendered if and when it gives written notice to the tendering Shareholder of its election to purchase such Shares.

(ix)           If Shares in excess of 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund are duly tendered to the Fund prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date, the Fund will, in its sole discretion, either (a) accept the additional Shares permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act; (b) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Shares that the Fund is offering to repurchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Shares tendered as well as any Shares tendered during the extended Offer; or (c) accept Shares tendered before the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date for payment on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate net asset value of tendered Shares. The Offer may be extended, amended or canceled in various other circumstances described in Item 4(a)(1)(v) above.

(x)           The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Shareholders that do not tender Shares. Shareholders that retain their Shares may be subject to increased risks that may possibly result from the reduction in the Fund’s aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Shares tendered. One such risk is that, due to a reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund, Shareholders that do not tender Shares may bear higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Shares are made by new and existing Shareholders from time to time. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer could result in the Adviser being required to raise cash to accommodate the tender by liquidating portfolio holdings in the Fund earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased operating expenses for the Fund.

(xi)           Not applicable.

(xii)          The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer. Each Shareholder should consult its own tax advisors about the tax consequences to it of a purchase of its Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer given such Shareholder’s individual circumstances.

The repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either as a “sale or exchange,” or, under certain circumstances, as a “dividend.” In general, the transaction should be treated as a sale or exchange of the Shares, if the receipt of cash results in a meaningful reduction in the Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Fund or results in a “complete redemption” of the Shareholder’s interest, in each case applying certain constructive ownership rules.

If the repurchase of a Shareholder’s Shares qualifies for sale or exchange treatment, the Shareholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the Offer and the adjusted tax basis of the Shares repurchased. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the relevant Shares sold have been held by the Shareholder as capital assets and generally will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the Shareholder held the repurchased Shares for more than one year, or as a short-term capital gain or loss if the Shareholder held the repurchased Shares for one year or less. However, if a Shareholder tenders Shares on which a long-term capital gain distribution has been received (including, for this purpose, amounts credited as an undistributed capital gain) and the repurchased Shares were held for six months or less, any loss realized will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent that it offsets the long-term capital gain distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any capital loss realized by a Shareholder will be disallowed to the extent the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Offer are replaced (including through reinvestment of dividends) with substantially similar Shares within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the disposition of the Shares. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an upward adjustment to the basis of the Shares acquired. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to statutory limitations.

If the repurchase of a Shareholder’s Shares does not qualify for sale or exchange treatment, the Shareholder may be treated as having received, in whole or in part, a taxable dividend, a tax-free return of capital or taxable capital gain, depending on (i) whether the Fund has sufficient earnings and profits to support a dividend and (ii) the Shareholder’s tax basis in the relevant Shares. If the tendering Shareholder’s tax basis in the Shares tendered to the Fund exceeds the total of any dividend and return of capital distribution with respect to those Shares, the excess amount of basis from the tendered Shares will be reallocated pro rata among the bases of such Shareholder’s remaining Shares.

Certain Shareholders that are individuals, estates or trusts, and whose income exceeds certain thresholds, will be required to pay a 3.8% surtax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of any gains recognized in connection with a sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer.

To the extent the Fund owns, directly or indirectly, interests in “passive foreign investment companies” as of the Valuation Date, and certain elections have not been made, gain recognized by a tendering Shareholder pursuant to the Offer may be treated as ordinary income earned ratably over the shorter of the period during which the tendering Shareholder held its Shares or the period during which the Fund held its interests in such entity. With respect to gain allocated to prior years: (i) the tax rate will be the highest in effect for that taxable year for the applicable class of taxpayer; (ii) the tax will be payable generally without regard to offsets from deductions, losses and expenses; and (iii) the Shareholder will also be subject to an interest charge for any deferred tax.

The Fund may be required to withhold, for U.S. federal income taxes, a portion of the tender proceeds payable to Shareholders who fail to provide the Fund with their correct taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) or who otherwise fail to make required certifications, or if the Fund or the Shareholder has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that such Shareholder is subject to backup withholding. Certain Shareholders are exempt from backup withholding, but may be required to provide documentation to establish their exempt status. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any such amounts withheld will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the Shareholder’s federal income tax liability if the appropriate information is timely provided to the IRS.

Unless a reduced rate of withholding or a withholding exemption is available under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or an applicable tax treaty, a Shareholder who is a nonresident alien or a foreign entity may be subject to a 30% United States withholding tax on the gross proceeds received by such Shareholder if the proceeds are treated as a dividend under the rules described above. As further discussed in the Fund’s offering documents, if sale or exchange treatment applies to the repurchase, any gain that a foreign Shareholder realizes upon the repurchase of Shares will ordinarily be exempt from U.S. income and withholding tax unless (i) in the case of a Shareholder that is a nonresident alien individual, the gain is U.S. source income and such Shareholder is physically present in the United States for more than 182 days during the taxable year and meets certain other requirements, or (ii) the gain from the repurchase of the Shares is or is considered to be effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the foreign Shareholder.

Further, if the proceeds received by a Shareholder are treated as a dividend under the rules described above, such proceeds could be subject to withholding taxes under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance (“FATCA”) provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (“HIRE”) Act. Under FATCA, certain payments of U.S. source interest, dividends and other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits and income (all such payments, “withholdable payments”), which are made to a “foreign financial institution” (which term may include certain foreign Shareholders) or a non-financial foreign entity beneficial owner, may be subject to a 30% withholding tax if: (i) the foreign financial institution does not, among other things, comply, under an agreement with the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury or his/her delegate or the terms of an applicable intergovernmental agreement, with prescribed due diligence requirements necessary to determine which of its accounts (including equity interests in the foreign financial institution) are held by specified United States persons or United States owned foreign entities (such accounts, “United States accounts”) and prescribed reporting requirements in respect of its United States accounts; or (ii) the non-financial foreign entity beneficial owner does not certify that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners, or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner and meets certain other specified requirements. If payment of this withholding tax is made, non-U.S. Shareholders that are otherwise eligible for an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding taxes with respect to such dividends or proceeds will be required to seek a credit or refund from the IRS to obtain such benefit of this exemption or reduction. In certain cases, the relevant foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity may qualify for an exemption from, or be deemed to be in compliance with, these rules. Certain jurisdictions have entered into agreements with the United States that may supplement or modify these rules.

Pursuant to provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations directed at tax shelter activity, taxpayers are required to disclose to the IRS certain information on Form 8886 if they participate in a “reportable transaction.” A transaction may be a “reportable transaction” based upon any of several prescribed indicia, including the recognition of losses in excess of certain thresholds (generally, $2 million or more for an individual Shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate Shareholder). Significant penalties may apply upon a failure to comply with this disclosure obligation. The Fund will comply with the disclosure and Shareholder list maintenance requirements to the extent the Fund determines them to apply with respect to this transaction and/or its investments.

Shareholders who sell their Shares pursuant to the Offer may be subject to state, local and/or foreign taxes.

The Fund generally will be required to report to the IRS and furnish to Shareholders the cost basis and holding period for each respective Shareholder’s Shares repurchased by the Fund. The Fund has elected the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method as the default cost basis method for purposes of this requirement. If you wish to affirmatively elect an alternative cost basis calculation method in respect of your Shares, please contact the Tender Offer Administrator at SS&C at 1-866-324-7348.

The cost basis method that a Shareholder elects may not be changed with respect to a tender offer after the Valuation Date of the tender offer. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their cost basis reporting options and to obtain more information about how the cost basis reporting rules apply to them.

(a)(2) Not applicable.

(b) None of the Fund’s Board members nor its officers own any Shares. Certain affiliates of the Adviser own Shares directly and indirectly, but, to the Fund’s knowledge, do not intend on tendering any Shares in the Offer.

The Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), which was provided to each Shareholder in advance of subscribing for Shares, and the Declaration of Trust provide that, at the sole discretion of the Board, the Fund may from time to time provide Shareholders with a limited degree of liquidity by offering to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders. The Registration Statement also states that the Adviser expects to recommend to the Board that, under normal market circumstances, the Fund conduct repurchase offers of no more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets on a quarterly basis.

Except as described below, the Fund is not aware of any agreement, arrangement, or understanding relating, directly or indirectly, to the Offer, whether or not legally enforceable, between: (i) the Fund, the Adviser, the Fund’s officers or members of the Board or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser, the Fund’s officers or the Board; and (ii) any other person, with respect to the Shares. Certain investors who provided initial capital to the Fund in connection with its commencement of operations entered into an agreement with the Adviser, pursuant to which the investor agreed to not tender its Shares in any anticipated quarterly tender offer by the Fund, until 2024, subject to certain agreed-upon terms and limitations. Copies of those agreements, to the extent required by applicable law, are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with the investor's Schedule 13D.

(a) The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to Shareholders that hold Shares, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Registration Statement and the Declaration of Trust.

(b) Shares that are tendered to the Fund in connection with the Offer, if accepted for repurchase, will be repurchased, resulting in an increase in the expense ratios of remaining Shares in the Fund (assuming no further issuances of Shares). The Fund currently expects that it will accept subscriptions for Shares as of the first business day of each calendar month, but is under no obligation to do so, or at such other times as determined in the discretion of the Board.

(c) None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (1) an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Fund; (2) any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Fund; (3) any material change in the present dividend rate or policy or indebtedness or capitalization of the Fund; (4) any change in the present Board or in the management of the Fund including, but not limited to, any plans or proposals to change the number or the term of members of the Board, or to fill any existing vacancy on the Board or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer; (5) any other material change in the Fund’s corporate structure or business, including any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policies, for which a vote would be required by Section 13 of the 1940 Act; (6) the acquisition by any person of additional Shares (other than the Fund’s intention to accept subscriptions for Shares on the first business day of each calendar month or at such other times as determined in the discretion of the Board), or the disposition of Shares (other than through periodic purchase offers, including the Offer); or (7) any changes in the Declaration of Trust or other governing instruments or other actions that could impede the acquisition of control of the Fund. Because Shares are not traded in any market, Subsections (6), (7) and (8) of Regulation M-A ss. 229.1006(c) are not applicable to the Fund.

(a) The Fund expects that the amount offered for the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, which will not exceed approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund, will be paid from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings or borrowings (as described in paragraph (d) below). Upon its acceptance of tendered Shares for repurchase, the Fund will maintain daily on its books a segregated account consisting of cash, liquid securities or, to the extent applicable, interests in underlying portfolio funds that the Fund (i) has requested be withdrawn or (ii) is in the process of liquidating (or any combination of them), in an amount equal to the aggregate estimated unpaid U.S. Dollar amount due to Shareholders whose tendered Shares have been accepted for repurchase.

(b) There are no material conditions to the financing of the transaction. There are currently no alternative financing plans or arrangements for the transaction.

(c) Not applicable.

(d) None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board has determined at this time to borrow funds to purchase Shares tendered in connection with the Offer. Depending on the dollar amount of Shares tendered and prevailing general economic and market conditions, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may decide to seek to borrow money to fund all or a portion of the purchase amount for Shares, subject to compliance with applicable law. The Fund expects that the repayment of any amounts borrowed will be financed from additional funds contributed to the Fund by existing or new Shareholders.

(a) As of January 31, 2023, none of the Fund’s Board members or officers held any Shares.

(b) Other than transactions conducted pursuant to the continuous offering of Shares, there have been no transactions involving Shares that were effected during the past 60 days by the Fund, the Adviser, any member of the Board or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board.

No persons have been directly or indirectly employed or retained or are to be compensated by the Fund to make solicitations or recommendations in connection with the Offer.

(a)   (1) The Fund will prepare, and transmit to Shareholders, an unaudited semi-annual and an audited annual report with financial statements of the Fund and the schedule of investments of the Fund within 60 days after the close of the period for which the report is being made, or as otherwise required by the 1940 Act. The Fund commenced operations as a registered investment company under the 1940 Act on April 1, 2022 and has a fiscal year end of March 31. The Fund has not yet filed financial statements with the SEC pursuant Rule 30b2-1 under the 1940 Act.

(2) The Fund is not required to and does not file quarterly unaudited financial statements under the Exchange Act. The Fund does not have earnings per share information.

(3) Not applicable.

(4) Class D NAV per Share $25.66 (1/31/2023)

      Class I NAV per Share $25.70 (1/31/2023)

(b)   The Fund’s assets will be reduced by the amount of the tendered Shares that are purchased by the Fund.

(a)   (1) None.

(2) None.

(3) Not applicable.

(4) Not applicable.

(5) None.

(b)   None.
