(SIF III) is a successor fund to Siam Investment Fund II L.P. (SIF II) which is approaching full investment. SIF II was launched in 2000, raising US$57m. Objective To provide investors with access to the exceptional returns available through timely, opportunistic investment in selective private equity transactions in Thailand. Investment Economy in Transition: Past - Coping with crisis. Present – Cyclical recovery. Future – Structural growth. ThesisResurgent Business Confidence: A revival in business optimism is spurring a revival in corporate transaction activity and expansion. Restructuring/Rehabilitation to Continue: An improving economy facilitates the resolution of residual business problems. Improving “Exit” Environment: Better capital markets, both for listing and refinancing, and growing demand from local investors for rehabilitated assets. Why SIF III?Successful Track Record: SIF II and its predecessor, SIF, have exceptional records of both making and exiting private equity investments in Thailand over the past seven years. Sponsors are Investors: The Sponsors intend to be material investors in the Fund. Finansa Fund Management will commit US$5m and CZI anticipates US$10m. Value Addition: The Finansa Group has the critical mass of resources locally to support deal flow, monitoring and exits.

Template: cover.ppt Siam Investment Fund (SIF) • The Siam Investment Fund was launched in 1996, as the South East Asia Frontier Fund, raising US$25m from international institutional investors. It is a closed-end fund listed in London. • The Fund’s original mandate was to seek long-term appreciation through investment primarily in unlisted companies in the SE Asia region. With the onset of the financial crisis in 1997, the management saw exceptional investment opportunities emerging in Thailand and as a result the investment focus of the fund shifted. • The successful implementation of this new strategy resulted in SIF being amongst the top performing Thai funds. • Significant investments include: • TISCO Finance • Nation Multimedia • SE-Education • Natural Park • SIF has a 10 year life. • The fund’s advisor, Finansa Fund Management, is also an investor in the Fund.

  13. Section C Fund Concept

  14. Fund Concept Thailand is enjoying a structural and cyclical economic recovery which will underpin overall investment returns. The Thai economy has staged a strong recovery since the Asia crisis and is currently one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. Growth has been spurred by government policies to stimulate domestic demand and by buoyancy in exports. The election of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and a majority Thai Rak Thai Party Government was a seminal event. Thailand currently enjoys significant surpluses on its current account and a strong fiscal position. Interest rates are expected to remain subdued in the absence of inflationary pressure. There has been a material improvement in the financial health of the banking system. Banks are shifting management focus from “old” to “new” loans. Improvements in (overall) corporate profitability have been driven by cost cutting, improved productivity and (more recently) volume growth. In the area of Private Investment, few sectors (notably construction) have rebounded. The investment recovery now looks set to broaden.

  15. Fund Concept (cont.) An economy in transition 1998-2003 was a period of post-crisis adjustment and recovery. Business confidence was fragile, the banking system weak and reforms were necessary to spur restructuring and rehabilitation. Business owners/managers focused on survival. Today, business confidence is strong, the banking system is functioning to the extent that new loan activity is picking up, capital markets are strong and businesses are looking to expand. Longer term growth will be sustained by structural reforms. Investment opportunities in the next phase of Thailand’s growth Thailand “today” offers investment opportunities both in the final “clean up” and in the next stage of the country’s growth. Business restructuring will continue to be a feature of the Thai investment environment. A stronger economy and higher asset valuations facilitate the resolution of “old” problems. Many early restructurings were temporary remedies. A period of sustained economic growth will underpin equity returns and valuations. The exit environment has improved. Better capital markets enhance prospects both for listing and refinancing, while there is growing demand from local investors for rehabilitated assets.

  16. Section D Fund Strategy Investment Examples Deal Flow

  17. File: agen&cov\cppc0000.ppt PCG Books: NB NB FI-Taxable NB FI-Tax Exempt CS CS FI: Taxable or T-Ex. Template: cover.ppt Fund Strategy • Siam Investment Fund III L.P. will seek to provide investors with high returns through leveraging the expertise, experience and business relationships of the advisors to source and effectinvestments in assets perceived as offering significant upside potential. These assets will likely include: • Negotiated placements of new shares as part of the financial restructuring of businesses • Negotiated placements of new shares or equity related instruments to fund business expansion • Management Buyouts • Strategic disinvestments • Minority interests • Partnership capital • Assets offering scope for rehabilitation and transfer to a Property Fund The Fund will typically adopt an active stance, with board representation and the ability to take control where warranted. The advisors will seek to further enhance value through imposing higher standards of overall financial management and providing specific assistance in balance sheet structuring.

  18. Example 1: Pranda Jewelry Plc. • In June 2001, SIF II bought 5 million shares of Pranda through a private placement at Bt28 per share. This represented a 25% interest. The total investment was Bt140m (US$3m). • The Company has meanwhile pursued an internal reorganisation and renewed focus on its core strengths. • Earnings have staged a strong recovery, reflected in a significant recovery in the share price. • The Fund began liquidating its investment in February 2003. • Investor IRR 110%, GainUS$9.5m, 4.1x Invested Capital. • Pranda Jewelry is Thailand’s leading integrated jewelry manufacturer and exporter. • The Company was founded in 1972 and listed on the SET in 1990 • The Company encountered severe financial difficulties in the wake of the Baht devaluation in 1997, hit by a combination of exposure to foreign currency loans, a drop in demand and excessive inventory levels. • Subsequently, the Company entered a lengthy restructuring process with debt rescheduling and debt write-offs. As part of this, creditors pressed for an increase in share capital.

  19. Example 2: The Peace Canning (1958) Co., Ltd. • In the end, SIF II received a) cash of Bt520m (US$12m) through debt refinancing, corresponding to its original investment and b) retained an 80% stake in the Company. • Peace Canning has projected sales of Bt1,000mn (US$25m) in 2005 and projected net earnings of Bt120m (US$3m). The Company is planning to list on the SET in 2H 2005. • On a preliminary P/E valuation of 8.0x, the SIF II’s stake will be worth Bt570mn (US$14mn). • Unrealized IRR 26%, Value: US$9.8m, 1.4x Invested Capital. • Peace Canning, the country’s leading manufacturer of canned pickled vegetables, filed for bankruptcy in 2001. • In 2002, SIF II acquired Peace Canning’s combined debts of Bt3,000m (US$72m) from creditors for a cash consideration of Bt520m (US$12m). SIF II became the sole creditor and took control of the bankruptcy process. • SIF II, jointly with Peace Canning, submitted a debt composition request to the Bankruptcy Court and this was approved. • SIF II reduced the debt outstanding to Bt520m (US$12m) and swapped the balance into an 80% equity stake in the company. • In 2003, the Fund Advisor negotiated a 7–year term loan (MLR -2%) with a financial institution for Bt520m (US$12m) to refinance the outstanding debts.

  20. Example 3: Sansiri Plc. • In August 02, SIF II subscribed to Sansiri’s Bt2,520m (US$60m) capital raising at Bt4.41 per share. This capital represented 67.7% of the new equity base. At the same time, the warrant option arrangement with Starwood was terminated. The subscription price implied a P/BV of 1.2x. • The fundraising transformed the Company’s prospects, allowing it to proceed with a series of new housing projects at a time when housing demand was increasing rapidly. Sansiri is now recognised as a leading housing developer. • Following the private placement, there was a substantial re-rating of Sansiri shares. Currently, the share price is Bt16.3. • Investor IRR 82%, Gain US$4.9m, 2.0x Invested Capital. • Sansiri, a listed real estate development company, was one of the first companies to complete a restructuring. In 1999, Starwood Capital joined as a strategic partner. Holding 7% of the equity initially, Starwood had an option to increase its stake to 51% through a warrant exercisable at Bt5. • During 2002, Sansiri shares traded as low as Bt3. With little prospect of Starwood exercising its warrant, the Company was unable to operate satisfactorily. Management identified both the need for new capital and the need to cancel the warrant. Canceling the warrant was critical to the proposed recapitalization.

  21. Example 4: F&B Food Service (Thailand) Ltd. • F&B Food Service is a full-line food distribution company targeting the hotels and restaurants segment. Established in 1999 by the Booker Group, the business was acquired by Royal Ahold in 2002. In 2003, Royal Ahold took a strategic decision in 2003 to withdraw from the Thai market. • In October 2003, SIF II acquired a 76% stake in the Company and an existing shareholder loan for a combined Bt90m (US$2.3m) and committed to management to invest a further Bt160m (US$4.0m) on expanding the business into a national franchise. • A 24% stake was gifted to existing senior management by Royal Ahold. SIF II also put in place a management incentive scheme which enables management to acquire additional shares as the shareholder loan is converted into equity. • At the date of acquisition, F&B operated three warehouses (Bangkok, Laem Chabang and Had Yai). Three new warehouses will be added in 2004 (Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and Bangkok II). The expansion will establish F&B as the leading company in this rapidly expanding business segment. • The intention is to exit the investment through a public listing in 2006 or by a trade sale. • SIF II has board representation.

  22. Example 5: TISCO Finance Plc. • TISCO Finance is a leading, listed Thai consumer finance company, with a strong position in auto finance. The economic collapse in 1997 resulted in a surge in the company’s non-performing loans and the need for a balance sheet restructuring. • In May 1999, under a government sponsored recapitalisation scheme, TISCO issued 600m new convertible preference shares at Bt10, raising Bt6,000m (US$150m). Half of the new shares were acquired by the Ministry of Finance and half acquired by private sector investors. This increased the total number of shares in issue to 700m. The private investors also received a covered warrant (on the MoF’s holding). • A consortium led by Finansa and including SIF and China Development and Industrial Bank acquired the private sector allocation. A representative of Finansa was appointed to the TISCO board. • The case for reviving TISCO was strong and the successful recapitalisation allowed the company to participate in the subsequent industry revival (with fewer competitors). TISCO’s earnings have enjoyed a sustained increase since the refinancing. • The market was quick to recognise the transformation in TISCO’s position and prospects and the shares enjoyed a dramatic rerating.

  23. Example 6: Other Investments • Between 1997 and 1999, SIF invested US$5.3m in a 14% stake in Nation Mulltimedia (NMG), the listed publishing and media group. The investment was made through private placements of new equity and rights issues. • NMG encountered sever financial difficulties in the wake of the 1997 economic crisis, compounded by an ill-judged investment in a real estate project. • While provisioning against losses, the Company expanded its media reach (into television) and exploited a strong recovery in advertising spending. • For a brief period in late 1999, following the merger of AOL and Time Warner, the shares enjoyed a dramatic “.com” rerating and while the shareprice bubble eventually burst, SIF’s overall investment return, based on a gradual unwinding of the position from 2000 onwards remained strong. • In April 1998, SIF acquired a 18% equity interest in SE-Education (SE-ED), a listed book wholesaler and retailer with a total investment of US$2.1m • SE-ED had been damaged in the economic crisis, as had many of its competitors. The capital injection by SIF enabled the Company to quickly establish itself as the market leader and management embarked on an aggressive expansion plan which resulted in SE-ED opening retail outlets in all of Thailand’s 72 provinces. A strategic tie-up with the rapidly expanding hypermarket industry further strengthened SE-ED’s market position. • SE-ED’s revenues and earnings grew strongly after the recapitalisation, contributing to a significant appreciation in the Company’s shareprice. • The investment was liquidated through sales on the stockmarket.
