GLOBAL INVESTIGATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE SERVICES Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) brings combined industry and functional expertise to solve the most threatening problems. Our dedicated team of former law enforcement officials, journalists and private investigators, working with a worldwide network of trusted operatives, mine specialized databases and obscure public records and conduct field interviews to uncover vital information for litigation, global investigations and new business relationships.

INVESTIGATIVE DUE DILIGENCE A&M provides intelligence services that are an essential component to any acquisition, key management decision, or when considering whether to pursue litigation. A&M s Business Intelligence team assists global corporations, investment/merchant banks, private equity firms, hedge funds and corporate lawyers by profiling companies and their key principals. In order to supply clients with the timely information they require about their potential business partners, we assemble an array of investigative resources around the world, including former law enforcement officials, intelligence experts, journalists, forensic accountants, industry experts, and attorneys. Our professionals have decades of experience and have examined thousands of complex global business partners. We examine potential global business partners and their principals through sophisticated analysis of international databases and available public records, but recognize that the most useful intelligence for corporate decision makers will frequently come through discreet interviews with our network of contacts, and with former employees, competitors and industry observers. We look for hidden problems in the companies as well as undisclosed or misrepresented reputational issues for the individuals. We identify potential deal-breaking issues in relation to: Mergers and acquisitions Joint ventures Resellers and distributors Licensees Proxy contests/hostile takeovers 13

LITIGATION INTELLIGENCE A&M s investigative and intelligence experts work with lawyers in civil and criminal litigation and arbitrations. We provide the intelligence to make discovery more effective and build a compelling case, while making the process more efficient and cost effective. Our services include: Pre-deposition fact-gathering Identifying and locating potential witnesses Interviewing sources Profiling adverse experts Asset evaluation Broker-Dealer arbitration 14

SEARCHING FOR ASSETS Alvarez & Marsal s Business Intelligence team has been at the forefront of asset searching for a quarter-century. Our former law enforcement officials, prosecutors, journalists, intelligence professionals and attorneys comb the public record to identify and locate assets hidden in the U.S. and abroad. We uncover and analyze asset information in the current and historical web, including blogs, social networks and specialized databases, and send people to court houses and halls of records to sift through litigation and administrative and regulatory filings. Alvarez & Marsal s staff of forensic accountants helps track the flow of funds. Our team has searched for assets in connection with: Receiverships and bankruptcies Ponzi schemes, frauds, and corruption Assessing likelihood of recovery against potential defendants Collecting judgments 15

INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS A&M s professionals bring decades of experience in detecting and responding to corruption, fraud, bribery, kickbacks and embezzlement. With our forensic accounting and computer forensics colleagues, we provide seamless global investigation and intelligence services in connection with: FCPA and AML Whistleblower allegations Trade secret theft Counterfeit and gray-market goods Global asset searching Cyber-smear 16
