 Svoboda Capital Fund IV SBIC, L.P.; License No. 05/05-0327; 
Notice Seeking Exemption Under Section 312 of the Small Business 
Investment Act, Conflicts of Interest

    Notice is hereby given that Svoboda Capital Fund IV SBIC, L.P., One 
North Franklin Street, Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60606, a Federal 
Licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended 
(``the Act''), in connection with the financing of a small concern, has 
sought an exemption under Section 312 of the Act and Section 107.730, 
Financings which Constitute Conflicts of Interest of the Small Business 
Administration (``SBA'') Rules and Regulations (13 CFR 107.730). 
Svoboda Capital Fund IV SBIC, L.P. proposes to provide equity security 
financing to Estate Cheese Group, LLC (d/b/a Sonoma Creamery), 21750th 
Street East, Sonoma, CA 95476 (``Sonoma'').
    The financing is brought within the purview of Sec.  107.730(a) and 
(d) of the Regulations because Svoboda Capital Fund IV, L.P., an 
Associate of Svoboda Capital Fund IV SBIC, L.P., owns more than ten 
percent of Sonoma, and therefore this transaction is considered a 
financing of an Associate requiring prior SBA approval.
    Notice is hereby given that any interested person may submit 
written comments on the transaction, within fifteen days of the date of 
this publication, to the Associate Administrator for Investment, U.S. 
Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street SW., Washington, DC 
20416.

    Dated: September 6, 2017.
