Our objective is to support the client in the investment to be made, accompany the investor throughout the different required stages, and efficiently structure the financing that would lead to a financial close within an optimal time-frame. Our role as independent advisors Infrastructure projects require a strong dedication for the design of the Business Plan and its subsequent execution, which implies support throughout the public bidding process, design and negotiation for eventual structure of the financial close, and the necessary management and coordination of the different tasks to be conducted by the other advisors of the project. Likewise, the characteristics of the advisory require an exhaustive level of dedication from the team assigned to the project and the presentation of a great quantity of economic-financial documentation to the lender entities which also requires a high level of expertise. The KPMG Infrastructure team has a large experience in the financial advisory of infrastructure projects in various sub sectors. Main characteristics of our advisory are as shown in the table on the next slide 6

9 Colombia as an investment destination (2) General aspects Over the past few years, Colombia has experienced significant improvement in its macroeconomic performance, internal security and stability. As a result, social indicators have improved dramatically; Colombia has achieved solid structural growth given an increase in the investment rate which in turn, generates higher productivity levels; In 2011, Colombia was awarded investment grade rating from all the main rating agencies in the world; Colombia is aggressively negotiating free trade and investment agreements in order to expand its markets; The Government is fully committed to reassuring favorable conditions so as to improve domestic and foreign investment. This is reflected in the establishment of free trade zones and legal stability contacts. GDP In the last decade, Colombia has shown a balanced trend in GDP growth; In 2008, the year of the international economic crunch, Colombia had relatively strong economic growth in spite of the external conditions. The latter was evident as according to the figures released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the year 2009 showing economic growth for the year of 1.5%; As of May 2013, the IMF forecasts a GDP growth of approximately 4.4% for Colombia. The agency suggests that the European debt crisis is unlikely to affect the GDP and that inflation is likely to be kept under control. 8,0% 7,0% 6,0% 5,0% 4,0% 3,0% 2,0% 1,0% 0,0% GDP Growth 6,7% 6,9% 5,3% 4,7% 4,3% 5.9% 4.0% 4,4% 3,9% 3,5% 1,5% Source: IMF International Monetary Fund 9

In spite of these problems, the behavior of the balance of trade was positive and has remained at a good economic level; As of the end of year 2012, the balance of trade was positive by USD million which may represent competitive Colombian products to foreign markets. Balance of Trade USD Million * Source: DANE Statistics National Department *as of January 2013 Exchange rate behavior Succeeding a strong devaluation in the 90s, the Colombian Peso appreciated against the USD, mainly due to the country s economic recovery; This phenomenon is expected to continue in the upcoming years due to the weakening market value of the US dollar along with the enduring European economic crisis; The average exchange rate (representative market rate) for the year 2012 was of 1,198.

11 Colombia as an investment destination (4) Foreign direct investment Increased confidence in Colombia is reflected in the growing FDI flows into the country. FDI is currently about 5 times higher than it was at the beginning of the decade; Most foreign investment is concentrated in the mining and oil sectors. Investment in communication and transportation services, as well as the manufacturing sector, have great potential for growth in the upcoming years; FDI inflows to Colombia were USD 13,438 million for the year 2011, a higher figure when compared to the one registered in 2010 which was USD 6,758 million. Nonetheless, 2012 had the highest FDI for the period analyzed, reaching USD 15,823 million. This increase was triggered mostly by a general investment increase in the petroleum industry of the country, which accounted for 33.98% (USD 5,376.7million). Annual Total FDI This increase was driven by the purchase of Bavaria by SAB Miller for approximately USD 7.8 billion.

There are two kinds of PPPs: 1- Public initiative: for the selection of the PPP projects of public initiative, the prequalification system may be used in accordance with the rules, a list of pre-qualified bidders will be made via a public invitation. 2- Private initiative: the PPPs from a private initiative are divided in two kinds (projects that require public funding and those which do not.) o o Private initiatives that do not require expenditure of public funds: individuals can structure public infrastructure projects or provide associated services, at their own risk, assuming all the costs of structuring and presenting it confidentially to the entity. The stages are: pre-feasibility and feasibility. Private initiatives that require outlays of public funds: this kind has the same stages, plus a public bid where if an agreement is achieved between the competent public agency and the originator of the initiative, the Public entity will hold a public bid to select the contractor. Prior to the PPP law, all infrastructure projects in Colombia were made under the Law PPP law is overruled by law number one, which regulates port terminals 2- PPP law is overruled by mining law, which regulates mining activities Source: DNP Planning National Department 15

22 Roads Overview Roads in Colombia Road and highway concessions are classified into four categories: (1) national road network not under concession (12,436 km), (2) national road network under concession (6,035 Km), (3) secondary road network (88,348 km)) and (4) tertiary road network (35,438 km). Overview of highway concessions in Colombia Concession procurement emerged as an alternative mechanism for financing the creation, maintenance, improvement and operation for road infrastructure. Before the modification of the Colombian constitution in 1991, the infrastructure investment came only from the government. After 1992, private investment was included as an alternative for these kind of projects. In Colombia, given the concentration of the economic activity and its irregular geography, the infrastructure has a big impact on business costs and competitiveness. According to specialists and government institutions, there is a lag in regulatory framework investment for basic infrastructure. In 1992, the government initiated a concession program that has evolved in multiple generation of concessions. The concession contracts are generally divided into generations. The 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd generations have already been developed; the 4 th generation is under a conformation process. As of December 2010, during the past 10 years, the kilometers under concession grew by 157% in 10 years and the highways under concession increased from 11 to 25 during the same period. In 2011, the government structured the 4 th generation of concessions, in order to improve and expand the road network in Colombia.

23 Roads Overview (2) Several analyses about development in Colombia have argued that the deficit in infrastructure investment, explains the lag of the country in this matter. The National Development Plan (PND-Plan Nacional de Desarrollo) recognizes the importance of involving more actively the private sector in investment and in the conceptualization process of infrastructure needs. The latter also establishes the importance of developing schemes of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and explore alternative mechanisms to channel private investment and efficient management in the modernization, construction, operation and / or maintenance of public infrastructure. The PND specifically addresses three areas of action: (i) Facilitation and promotion of private investment in infrastructure (strengthen technical legal and financial structuring of projects), ( ii) Public Private Partnerships as a mechanism for public infrastructure development (encourage the use of new schemes of project management in the context of the APP), and (iii) Continuation and strengthening program for private participation in infrastructure (concessions). More than 6,000 Km of roads will be awarded through concessions in order to complete the national network. The National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) has scheduled concessions for planned and potential projects representing investments of USD 42,667 million to be bid on during the period * Source: Infrastructure projects.

24 Roads Secondary market During the first generation of concessions there were 13 road projects awarded, with a initial investment of USD 869 million. These projects had several modifications explained by the lack of experience of the Government in these kind of projects. Highways First generation of concessions In 1992 the Government launched the program for road concessions in order to face the challenges of globalization, economic openness and financial crisis. In this stage,13 road projects were awarded for a total length of 1,649 kilometers, which included construction of 230 kilometers and maintenance of 1,527 kilometers. The estimated investments at that time was USD 869 million. Out of the 13 contracts, 7 were awarded through direct contracting and 6 through public bidding.

A characteristic of these projects in this first stage was the high number of modifications, explained by the lack of experience of the Government in these kind of projects. The weaknesses in this stage were: Delay in disbursement; Delay in the approval of the environmental licenses; Changes in the initial designs; Changes in land inventory; and Relocation and removal of toll booths. 24

25 Roads Secondary market (2) In the second generation, 2 road projects were awarded with an initial estimated investment of USD 674 million. This generation improved both institutional coordination as well as technical, financial and legal mechanisms. Highways Second generation of concessions The guidelines established in this new generation, mainly established a better redistribution of risk and higher levels of detail in the road designs. The guidelines established for this generation phase stated that contractors should complete the achievement of environmental licenses and land records before construction began. The second-generation road concessions improved both institutional coordination as well as technical, financial and legal mechanisms for these kind of projects. The disadvantage in this phase was the mechanism of selection for the firms in the bidding process, which ultimately led to inappropriate incentives. Also, there were significant delays in the road construction progress. During this generation, 2 road projects were awarded for a total length of 1,041 kilometers. The estimated investment at that time was USD 674 million.
