3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Coming on the heels of a couple lean years, the mergers and acquisition ( M&A ) environment was active in 2010 While multiple factors drove the decline, financing markets were one of the primary external forces Almost all companies now have a blot on their record to sell through While memories of the recession are fresh, multiple factors are now creating a more robust M&A environment. There is a growing capital overhang pressuring financial sponsors to execute transactions Strategics are accumulating cash due to the now positive effects of operating leverage forced on them during the recession Lenders are ready to lend While the economy has not fully recovered (read: hope /upside to buyers), the next 24 months could be a very good time for companies looking for monetization events -2-

4 TOTAL US M&A ACTIVITY A recovery in the financing markets resulted in a general upturn in overall US M&A activity in 2010, following two years of steady decline. Quarterly transaction activity has been relatively consistent since rebounding in Q Sponsor transactions have been a large contributor to the increase as firms once again begin to deploy capital. Middle market deals(defined as deals <$1.0B) also gained share in terms of deal volume and value. Buoyed by reinvigorated financing markets, LBOs posted their best quarter in over two years in Q Mega-buyouts, however, remained scarce, with only two deals topping $5 billion in TOTAL US M&A ACTIVITY ($ in Billions) BREAKDOWN BY SIZE (Value of Deals) ($ in trillions) $1.60 $1.40 $1.20 $1.00 $0.80 $0.60 $0.40 $0.20 $0.00 $1.52 $1.51 (31%) CAGR 28% $ (21%) $0.80 8% $0.92 $0.73 $0.79 $ % 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 18% 30% 24% 28% 28% 21% 21% 41% 40% 41% 45% 33% 34% 38% 47% 41% 45% 52% 36% 36% 31% 31% 49% 42% 23% 29% 35% 28% 24% 27% 27% 32% 23% Value of Deals < $1 billion $1 Billion < Value of Deals < $10 billion Value of Deals > $10 billion Source: Thomson Reuters as of 12/31/10-3-

5 MIDDLE MARKET MORE ATTRACTIVE In 2010, M&A activity in the middle market increased 54.9% and 48.4% in terms of total value and deal volume, respectively. Note that the Average Deal Size has dropped since in 2007, driven by a shift from large financially engineered LBO s toward smaller platforms with greater transformational upside.

6 BUYER CATEGORY SUMMARY The Sponsor community continues to be an important part of US M&A activity, and has seen its share increase in recent months as firms ramp up new platform and add-on acquisition activities. PE-backed transactions peaked at ~20% of total M&A in 2007, before declining to 12% by Experienced a recovery in 2010 as the credit markets improved and valuations fell. The industry s share is expected to grow in the next months due to $490B of capital overhang. Following a challenging investment climate in 2008 and 2009, private equity groups re-entered the market in the summer of 2010 (both as buyers and sellers), resulting in a 63% Y/Y increase in total deal value.

7 M&A BY TOP INDUSTRIES The distribution of domestic transactions by industry was largely unchanged from 2009 to 2010, although private equity activity in certain sectors escalated The fastest growing private equity M&A categories were Food / Beverage and Healthcare, Key troubled sectors that have experienced a decline in sponsor M&A include Finance and Telecom. Cyclical industries (e.g. construction) have been slow, but will start to pick up once the trough has passed. Going forward, we expect many firms will start to develop an industry focus or theme, in an attempt to improve deal sourcing and create a story for future fund raising.

8 MULTIPLES BY TRANSACTION SIZE Transaction values in 2010 were slightly above the 10-year average of 9.1x, driven by a both strategic and private equity acquirers looking to deploy capital following the recession. Multiples for attractive, middlemarket companies have experienced a dramatic increase due to increased competition among sponsors.

9 IMPROVED CREDIT MARKETS Although leverage remains below 2007 levels, multiples increased year-over-year in Generally, large LBOs in particular have commanded higher multiples, with the most aggressive LBOs carrying leverage upwards of 6.0x.

10 DECLINE IN DISTRESSED SITUATIONS Defaults reached a high in April 2009, stabilizing at 10.7% by 2009 year-end end and declining to 5.1% as of December 2010 Distressed M&A followed a similar path, but with a 6 month lag that peaked in the summer of bankruptcies / distress deal volume is down, but still higher than historical averages. The large number of credit facility amend-and-extends in 2008 and 2009 prevented a market meltdown. Despite the recent improvements, many businesses (particularly sponsor-led LBOs from 2007) remain overleveraged and may require some type of restructuring once covenants begin to step down. Will banks be less forgiving this time when the music stops?

12 STATE OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY SITUATION OVERVIEW The state of the private equity industry is vastly improved from a low point in mid 2009, in which new deals where limited and portfolio companies were distressed. Still, the market remains challenged for several reasons, and the next 24 months will be critical in determining the groups and strategies capable of raising future funds. KEY OPPORTUNITIES Investing at the Trough: Historically speaking, funds that have deployed capital coming out of a recession have created strong gains for investors. We appear to be in the time now. Opportunities to Exit: As the markets improve, private equity groups are able to get liquidity on older investments either through a complete sale or dividend recapitalization. Better Quality Assets: During the downturn, there were limited attractive targets as most teams choose to focus on operations. Beginning in June 2010, sellers began to test the market and have shown a willingness to sell. Availability of Debt : The credit markets have experienced a significant improvement in recent quarters, and are allowing sponsors to offer more attractive valuations without sacrificing returns. KEY CHALLENGES Competitive Landscape: The sponsor community grew significantly from 2005 to 2007, and as a result, there are a number of middle-market groups with a large amount of capital targeting the same set of companies High Valuation Multiples: As a result, valuation multiples have returned to near previous highs, despite continued softness in quarterly earnings and lower leverage ratios. Offsetting Peak Deals: Across the industry, many of the transactions completed in 2006 and 2007 at the height of the market are generating g poor returns, and must be offset by the remaining capital. Economic Uncertainty: Although the market appears to be healing, many cyclical sectors have yet to rebound, which makes it difficult to value new deals and an obstacle in getting full value for portfolio platforms. -11-

OVERVIEW OF ECONOMIC CYCLE The Private Equity industry remains in the early stages of recovery from a time in which (i) new deal volume plummeted, (ii) portfolio companies faced multiple challenges and (iii) the credit markets offered limited meanings of financing. -12-

14 PE ACQUISITION ACTIVITY As corporate earnings trough and credit markets improve, many firms have started to increase acquisition activity, which has also led to more competition and higher multiples. During the economic downturn, the industry reduced the amount of capital deployed despite record fund raising, resulting in a large overhang.

15 ABILITY TO FINANCE IMPROVING The ability to finance leveraged buyout transactions has improved during the past 18 months, but remains well below the peak year of Senior debt (1 st lien) has increased back above 3.0x, from a low of ~2.5x in mid Total leverage is generally in the ~4.00x 4.25x range, with a emphasis on recurring revenue industries. During Q1-11, the market has continued to improve with healthy businesses garnering 4.5x and above. Equity as a percentage of transaction value saw an increase to an all time high in 2009, but declined in 2010 with the return of bank financing and less stringent lender closing conditions.

16 DEBT PRICING REMAINS HIGH Interest spreads on highly leveraged loans remain ~150 bps above historical averages, driven a relaxation of credit quality among recent issuances and shift towards lower-rated loans. Moreover, in many instances, lenders continue to require LIBOR floors, which where first implemented during 2008 and AVERAGE PRICING OF HIGHLY LEVERAGED LOANS 600bps Yr Avg: 300bps 2010a Avg: 450 bps Q2 '00 Q4 '00 Q2 '01 Q4 '01 Q2 '02 Q4 '02 Q2 '03 Q4 '03 Q2 '04 Q4 '04 Q2 '05 Q4 '05 Q2 '06 Q4 '06 Q2 '07 Q4 '07 Q2 '08 Q4 '08 Q2 '09 Q4 '09 Q2 '10 Q4 '10 LiborFloorBenefit Spread over Libor Source: Dealogic; William Blair Research -15-

17 GROWTH IN NEW PLATFORMS As firms look to deploy vintage year funds that will expire during the next 24 months, we have seen a significant increase in new platform investments, fueled by (i) better quality of available assets, (ii) lower valuation expectations among sellers, and (iii) recovery in the credit markets.

18 ESCALATING EXIT ACTIVITY During the downturn, the PE industry spent a meaningful portion of its resources managing the portfolio, which resulted in delayed exits for many targets. With the recent improvement in earnings and multiples, many groups are now looking to realize returns on these older investments.

19 RETURN OF DIVIDEND RECAPS After a virtual disappearance during 2008 and 2009, leveraged recaps staged a comeback during 2010 as a result of looser credit and the anticipation of increased capital gains taxes in Many firms still view this as the best near term liquidity option as valuation multiples remain lower than the 2007 peak.* U.S. SPONSORED DIVIDEND RECAP LOAN VOLUME ($ in Billions) $ * Allows firms to return capital to investors without selling at a valuation lower than $30.9 $25.5 $25.1 $ $ $1.5 $0.8 $3.8 $1.1 $1.1 $1.9 $6.3 $1.2 $ Source: Standard & Poor s Q4 10 Leveraged Buyout Review -18-

21 LEARNING FROM OUR MISTAKES As we emerge from a challenging economic time, it is important that the investment community reflect on the strategies and circumstances that have consistently created problems for us in past. -20-

22 WHERE ARE WE GOING? The industry experienced a significant amount of new entrants from Enjoyed record funding raising up until the markets collapsed in early / mid Situation The vast majority of sponsors did not deploy large amounts of capital during the downturn. Also delayed exiting many platform companies when valuations where low in Now that financing and earnings have improved, Sponsor-led M&A has escalated. Large overhang of dry powder is leading to more competition and higher valuations for good deals. Complication Despite debt availability, it remains difficult to find proprietary transactions ti and deploy capital. The economic recovery remains uncertain, which has made it difficult to exit cyclical businesses. The fund raising market is weak (although improving), with LP s waiting to commit new capital. Firms appear to be specializing (i.e. industry-focus, operation, etc.) to gain an advantage. Will sponsors be able to deploy capital in the next months in deals that generate strong returns? Will this be enough to offset the likely poor returns on deals done at the peak of the market in 2007? Questions Can firms differentiate themselves from other groups in the near term, and will this be effective? What is the right exit timing for older portfolio companies that are still in the early stages of recovery? How much capital will LPs be willing to invest once the next vintage year fund needs to be raised? Hypothesis Despite a challenging competitive landscape, sponsors that have a long track record of successfully executing a differentiated t d strategy t will generate outsized returns in the current market, and will ultimately be the beneficiaries of the LP community s shift towards fewer, proven investment groups. -21-

23 PRIVATE EQUITY DRY POWDER A significant amount of uninvested private equity capital is driving financial buyers to remain active in uncertain market conditions. Firms whose investment horizon expires in the next months, may feel extreme pressure to underwrite to returns that are lower than historical averages.

24 CLOSING THOUGHTS The M&A market is improving ing fueled by the availability ailabilit of debt financing, attractive targets and willing sellers. Despite the improved market situation, the ability to consummate transactions remains difficult due to a competitive landscape for quality assets. q The Private Equity community has a large amount of un-deployed capital, which h will drive up M&A volume and valuations during the next 2 years. q In an effort to invest their funds, many larger firms have been willing to over-equitizing smaller deals and appear to be underwriting to lower threshold returns. Sponsors that have a long track record of successfully executing a differentiated strategy t will generate outsized returns in the current market. As a result, the next round of major fund raising in 2012 and 2013 will be a flight to quality, with similar LP dollars committed but much fewer groups. -23-
