  10. CASE STUDY SHELLCASE TECHNOLOGIES • An Israel based, leading global supplier of wafer-level electronic packaging technologies for the digital imaging and data telecommunications markets. • Although Shellcase developed superior technology, had $80M in investment and was a world-leader in its field, it was challenged to create value for its shareholders, mainly due to its choice to maintain a fabrication facility in Israel, which is far from the relevant markets. • In 2005 we led an investment of ~$18M in Shellcase, at a very low valuation, as part of a Chinese-Korean-Israeli consortium. • Immediately thereafter, Shellcase closed the fabrication facility in Israel and opened a JV manufacturing facility in China. • Today, this facility is fully operational, with an impressive client base and high volume manufacturing. • Shortly after the investment, we successfully sold Shellcase IP to Tessera Technologies, a leading US company. Investors enjoyed a significant return on a company that only a short time previously was destined for receivership. • China manufacturing facility to go public in APAC market next year at extremely high valuation (Over 250M$).

  14. SAMPLE DEAL – AGRICULTURE • Marine Aquaculture Market • The US is the world’s second largest importer of seafood. China and Japan are other important markets. Consumer demand for fresh, disease and contaminant-free healthy marine fish is growing rapidly with a new emphasis on Organic, higher value products • USA and other • Vietnam • Vietnam is a world leader in fisheries, an industry that is rapidly growing and providing many jobs.
