Term Sheet — Monday, February 29

• Fee law: A bill has been introduced in California to address the so-called "secret fees" charged by private equity funds to their limited partners. The sponsor is Ken Cooley (D-8th District), and it would require all public pension funds to mandate detailed disclosures from their GPs about all fees and carried interest charged to the fund by both the partnership itself and its underlying portfolio companies.

My gut take is that while LPs should certainly have robust fee information from their GPs, the move to codify it via legislation suggests a massive lack of trust by Assemblyman Cooley in the pension system fiduciaries who already should be demanding such data. It also will be interesting to see if this bill gets any legs because, if so, then we could see similar versions in other states with significant private equity holdings.

You can read the proposed bill by going here. Cooley did not return a request for comment.

• In-flight snacks: Last fall, membership-based private aviation company Wheels Up announced that it had raised "up to $115 million" in new VC funding from T. Rowe Price, Fidelity and NEA. A lot of the subsequent news coverage, however, left out the "up to" part.

At the time, Wheels Up had only closed on $66 million. It recently closed out the round at $96.6 million, which gives the New York-based company (and Term Sheet sponsor) a post-money valuation of $521.6 million.

Wheels Up co-founder and CEO Kenny Dichter tells me that the company is currently on a $250 million revenue run rate, and believes it could hit $1 billion on its top-line by 2019-2020.

• Look what we found: E-commerce upstart Jet.com last week announced that it had acquired Hayneedle, an Omaha, Neb.-based online retailer focused on the home goods market. No financial terms were disclosed, but a source familiar with the transaction tells me that it came in just shy of $100 million in cash (pending certain working capital adjustments).

Hayneedle, which never was over to overtake rival Wayfair, had raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Insight Venture Partners and Sequoia Capital.

• From the filings: Joe Lonsdale’s new venture capital firm, Eight Partners, is planning to raise upwards of $420 million for its debut fund, according to a Form D filing. (2) Yahoo made only two acquisitions on 2015, per its new 10-K.

• Unicorn horns on sale: Fidelity Investments has once again broken out the red pen for many of its privately-held portfolio companies, according to a Fortune analysis of new valuation reports for three of its mutual funds. Among those getting marked down were Blue Apron, Dropbox and Zenefits (before firing its CEO, btw). Also notable were a bunch of biotech markdowns, which is not something we'd seen in past Fidelity reports. You can get our full write-up by going here.
