4 CHOOSING A SOURCE OF FUNDING SECTION II
5 OUR GENERAL VIEW ON THE FUNDING ENVIRONMENT Debt & equity markets less buoyant than pre- Crisis Companies that are financially strong have mulrple funding oprons Given the size of the market, Ireland is well- represented with equity funds Funding from internaronal sources is available in certain circumstances InsRtuRonal funds prefer to invest in companies with a strong growth outlook High net worth investors have an apperte for invesrng but decision making is more arbitrary and quantums are generally low relarve to insrturonal funds Most insrturonal funds have a preference to invest later in the cycle Funding takes Rme to put in place need to build- in appropriate headroom Page 5

10 DEBT & QUASI- EQUITY SECTION III
11 DEBT AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING The Irish banking environment has improved but challenges remain: Leverage rates remain low Interest rates, while reducing, remain above European levels Debt tenor remains low with limited apperte for long- term funding Page 11
12 DEBT AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING (CONT D) Summary observarons: Debt < 3.5x EBITDA with a focus on profitability Key considerarons: Type of funding: term debt vs. invoice discounrng vs. asset finance? ConvenRonal bank vs. specialist provider of niche products? Debt mulrple depends on free operarng cashflow? Fixed vs. floarng interest rate? Security & recourse? Tenor? Page 12
13 QUASI- EQUITY AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING Quasi- equity / mezzanine: Sits where equity would otherwise sit EffecRvely preferred equity in some cases More efficient capital structure reduces average cost of capital Lower availability of convenronal debt has reduced the risk parameters: Overall leverage levels have reduced c. 25% from pre- Crisis peak Many providers will typically only invest in sponsor- led opportunires: 1. To remove funder of last resort risk, and 2. To provide greater comfort on surety of exit Page 13
14 QUASI- EQUITY AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING (CONT D) Summary observarons: Investment criteria focused on cashflow Reasonably full due diligence requirements Fundraising process similar to an equity fundraising process (For tech & lifescience companies) may be backed by a specific charge over IP Key considerarons: Mezzanine vs. development capital fund? Payment in cash vs. payment in kind? Timing of funding need and buy- back opron? Page 14

18 RAISING VENTURE CAPITAL Summary comments: Raise sufficient capital to fund breakeven based on conservarve projecrons Raising equity overseas is challenging in the absence of reasonable scale The majority of acrve funds see the current environment as an investors market Most VC funds only invest in high- growth areas (technology & lifesciences) Terms may be oprmised by maximising the number of credible interested parres High availability of seed funding locally over the past number of years Consider the availability of follow- on funding No short- term cash / liquidity issues Support of exisrng investors Page 18
19 EUROPEAN VS. US VENTURE CAPITAL ü Generally more entrepreneurial ü ValuaRons frothy in certain segments ü More focused on generarng very high exit values and willing to fund the higher cash burn required to achieve this ü Generally more supporrve of unforeseen challenges ü Proximity = closer relaronship ü Generally give their porzolio companies more Rme to succeed û May require relocaron to the US û Less supporrve if the Company underperforms û Criteria may exclude companies outside US û Capacity may be more limited if the investee company requires significant follow- on funds û Limited value- add if customer base is US centric û Target revenue > US$ 5m for overseas deals Page 19
