UK Survey of 150 CEOs/CFOs Survey of 150 CEOs/CFOs in UK Majority of people believed that the funding environment was static (i.e. not improving) 59% felt that majority of financing would come from internal cash-flows for next 12 months 85% of respondents said that no government funding has filtered down to UK business Banks are conservative, want increased security and higher lending costs Relationships with banks are strained, time spent with bank has increased, trying to diversify lenders, terms renegotiated Trends - Asset backed financing/id - more capital efficient for banks (move away from overdrafts as companies charged for undrawn commitments) 9
Mergermarket Restructuring Survey 125 legal/financial advisors interviewed across US/Europe and asked about environment for restructurings 50% believe that restructuring activity will increase Primary driver of restructurings over next 12 months will be driven by banks refinancing debt Non-core asset sales set to increase Real estate, financial services and retail sectors continue to be the sectors which are most distressed Corporates continue to try and increase maturities of bank facilities (as banks push for restructurings) Time for strategic buyers is good as financial buyers struggle to hit returns because of lack of leverage Even healthy companies are finding it difficult to refinance Vast majority of leverage loan proceeds have been for refinancing in Europe c. 46% 10

Irish market M&A levels still remain subdued Some domestic in-market consolidation (ESB/NIE, SWS/BG) Vendor financing increasingly evident Value still an issue for sellers (resulting in pulled deals) Some bank related restructurings (debt for equity swaps) Most banking is purely the refinancing of existing credits Barclays/HSBC coming into syndicates in selective deals Internationally focused companies in technology, pharma & medical devices sector more attractive for Banks to finance Number of providers of finance set to decrease (same new names appearing in the UK) Domestic private buyout capital is seriously impaired Gap presents itself in the market for those that are willing to commit capital to growth and buyout capital at smaller levels Growth capital deals with scale attractive to overseas investors Some evidence that domestic VCs are active on earlier stage fundings 24
Conclusions look on the bright side Take advice early 2011-2013 challenges and opportunities Markets will improve 25
