3 Why KPMG Luxembourg? Luxembourg has gained significant attractiveness in international markets for the structuring of unregulated and lightly regulated Private Equity solutions as a result of increased allocations to Private Equity by institutional investors. Significant availability of Private Equity expertise in the fields of tax, legal, structuring, and back office solutions also acts as a catalyst for the development of Private Equity funds in Luxembourg. KPMG Luxembourg has a coordinated group of experienced and well connected professionals in the fields of structuring, tax, corporate finance, valuation, transactions, accounting and audit, and has developed a strong track record in accompanying Private Equity firms with their various requirements. "At KPMG Luxembourg, we have an experienced corporate finance team to serve General Partners of Private Equity funds. Our expertise ranges from independent valuations of Private Equity portfolios, to technical assistance provided to development finance institutions. We have, for example, assisted in the launch of a mezzanine fund, comprised of a package of training to local teams, valuations, drafting of investment policies and structuring of the first deals." Yves Courtois, Head of Private Equity, KPMG Luxembourg

Eric Wilhelm, Accounting Director, KPMG Luxembourg
6 Luxembourg A prime jurisdiction for Private Equity On account of the local tax and legal environment, the ease of structuring Private Equity funds and Private Equity deals has made Luxembourg a prime jurisdiction for the Private Equity industry. The most commonly used investment vehicle dedicated to Private Equity and venture capital is the Société d Investissement en Capital à Risque ( SICAR ). Its flexibility and simplicity to set-up demonstrate Luxembourg s commitment to attract the industry. Other lightly regulated fund structures such as Specialised Investment Fund ( SIF ) and unregulated Société de Participation Financière ( SOPARFI ) represent interesting alternatives. Strong fundamentals The local legal scheme has proved attractive, as Luxembourg has become a prime location for lightly regulated Private Equity funds. At the beginning of 2009, approximately 800 SIF and 200 SICAR funds had been incorporated in Luxembourg. An attractive economic environment to buyout firms Luxembourg has also attracted a buyout market for direct Private Equity investments in the Luxembourg economy. In 2007, Luxembourg had received close to 800 million of direct investment from Private Equity firms. Luxembourg is also a natural gateway for investment in the Greater region (Luxembourg, Wallonia, Saarland, and North-Eastern France). Comprehensive Regulation The Luxembourg legislation offers a large choice of alternatives for the set up of investment vehicles. High regulation Light regulation No regulation UCITS SICAR SIF Securitisation SOPARFI Securitisation "We have an extensive track record of serving non regulated Private Equity firms in Luxembourg. Over the years, our dedicated teams have developed an efficient and coordinated approach to our audit of international groups applying either US GAAP, IFRS or Luxembourg GAAP. Our ability to assist our clients addressing accounting issues linked to their complex structure or financing provides our clients with a trusted counterparty." Philippe Meyer, Audit Partner, KPMG Luxembourg
7 Legal environment SICAR SICAR is dedicated exclusively to investments in risk capital and fits the needs of Private Equity investments. The SICAR is a very flexible lightly regulated Private Equity vehicle. It can include multiple ring-fenced investment compartments, each with their own specific investment policy, or be dedicated to holding only one asset. Dividend payments by a SICAR are in principle free from withholding tax. Fees for management services rendered to a SICAR are VAT exempt. SICARs are exempt from any asset based or subscription tax. Hereafter are some key aspects of the SICAR legal and regulatory requirements : Invest in assets representing risk capital, Have a registered office and a central administration based in Luxembourg, The assets of the SICAR must be valued at fair value in the financial statements, The minimum subscribed share capital of a SICAR amounts to 1 million which may include share premium. SIF SIF may invest in all types of assets, the main requirement being that the principle of risk spreading is observed. The fund can be set-up under the following forms : Contractual fund, Fonds Commun de Placement ( FCP ), Corporate fund, Société d Investissement à Capital Variable ( SICAV ), Umbrella fund structure. A SIF must have a minimum 1,250,000 capital by the twelfth month following authorisation. SIFs are subject to an annual subscription tax of 0.01% on net assets. Dividend payments by a SIF are in principle free from withholding tax. SOPARFI SOPARFI is a Luxembourg resident fully taxable company limited by shares and benefits from the double tax treaties. The aim of a SOPARFI consists in general in taking financial participations in resident or foreign companies, as well as in the management of these participations. The SOPARFI benefits from a favorable participation exemption regime on dividends, capital gains and liquidation proceeds. Dividends received from a qualifying participation and capital gains realised on the sale of a qualifying participation are tax exempt under certain conditions. Dividends paid to a parent company by a SOPARFI may be exempt from withholding tax through application of double tax treaties and Luxembourg participation exemption regime. As a complement to the services presented in this brochure, we have also built a full range of advisory services that will facilitate the life of Private Equity groups willing to establish some administrative functions in Luxembourg. Those services include advice in ideal organisation, business processes, selection of cash management, accounting & reporting IT systems, human resources & compensation.
