2 Introduction

. The goal of this presentation is to provide a comprehensive framework in order to develop an effective qualitative GP due diligence process through: • Scoring Matrix: An in-depth due diligence tool allowing one to meticulously grade GPs and compare them on specific criteria • Monitoring: A bottom up analysis performed on the unrealized portfolio of a fund on a quarterly basis allowing to build strong conviction on the potential upside of previous generations • Track Record: A methodical approach to track funds’ historical and current performances while comparing them to their peers • Team: Keeping track of team dynamics and departures as well as identifying key investment professionals and their individual performances • Strategy: Assessing the GP’s strategy, its consistency and its future potential in terms of added-value • Terms: A cross-check analysis to ensure the GP is in line with current market practices

10 Monitoring Of The Unrealized Track Record . Overview • Performing a bottom-up monitoring of the unrealized portfolio of a GP’s previous generations on an ongoing basis allows to build strong conviction on the potential upside or downside of the GP’s track record

• Permanent Due Diligence • Gather information on a quarterly basis during several years in order to develop high conviction on a GP over time well in advance of fundraising

• Same contact person during the whole process • Having the same contact on the LP-side regardless of the transaction type (either primary, secondary or monitorings) to ensure a relationship of trust with an optimized flow of information

• Same questions asked for quarterly monitorings • Same set of questions are assessed quarterly, allowing to systematically compare GP feedback over time

Commit. Date Incorp. into database

• Collecting relevant investment information and Max.10 • Quarterly call GPs • Support of the Information & • Secondary synergies documentation d • Advisory Board Team Records • Possible re-ups • Creation of the Monitoring Sheets • Monitoring at Fund level and • Quarterly controls • End-of-life of the Monitoring Portfolio company level Sheets • Update on a quarterly basis

11 Monitoring Of The Unrealized Track Record . Calls With GP

• Recurring key questions on the GP’s underlying companies are asked during the quarterly monitoring calls on the following topics:

• Recent portfolio company developments (including recent company performance and events) and economic environment updates

• New expected performances and latest assumed exit dates

• Any expected liquidity events (e.g. dividend recap, partial/full sale)

• Guidance on cash flow available for deleveraging going forward (including feedback on expected revenue growth, EBITDA margin, CAPEX spending, etc.)

• Important departures or arrivals and shifts in the management team

TIPS: Keep quarterly updates of underlying companies’ metrics evolution post commitment to gather data for future re-up decisions

- In Q4, the Fund experienced a -6% increase of valuation over the previous quarter, mainly driven by valuation decreases for Companies A, B, C and D.

- Based on our latest discussions with Name 1, co-head of the Fund (in Nov. 2015), in addition to the sale of listed shares, the next liquidity events should come from Company L (IPO most likely) and Company F in 2017/2018.

- In December 2015, Fund A agreed to sell Company H to Company X for ~$1bn. Net proceeds to Fund A are expected to be approximately $Xbn, representing 2.4x initial cost. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the first half of 2016.

20 Team . Understanding Internal Dynamics and Incentives

• Decision Making Process

• One to one interviews are organized with both the GP’s senior and junior investment professionals to better understand some of the following points: • Who is the conservative voice on the IC? • Who on the IC ultimately makes the decision to invest or not? • Give an example of a transaction that was turned down at IC level, who voted against, and why? • What are the plans in place to address succession issues?

Private Equity The Private Equity IC reviews all private equity investment proposals globally, implements due diligence practices and works with the deal Investment Committee team to set pricing and negotiation tactics ("IC") The Private Equity IC meetings occur at least once a week and more as necessary

 The PMC plays a significant role in portfolio management decisions, such as deploying investment professionals where needed, making Portfolio Management decisions when companies are underperforming, and monitoring and advising on exit strategies Committee ("PMC")  The PMC meets monthly, designating a number of investment teams on a rotating basis for presentation of their respective portfolio companies • Incentive Program – Ownership & Carry Allocation Shareholders' name % Total Name Global Carry Pool % of Carry Allocation Institution 1 8.2% Name 1 10.0% Institution 2 3.4% Name 2 5.0% Institution 3 2.1% Other 15 Investment Committee members* 45.0% Institution 4 1.9% Total Investment Committee members 60.0% Institution 5 1.1% Non-Investment Committee members ** 16.5% Top 5 Institutional Owners 16.7% Principals + VPs 12.5% Treasury *** 11.0% Remaining Equity Float 44.2% Total 100.0% Non-Floating Equity 39.1% * Group Heads have the most allocation with ~2.0% to 3.5% each Owner 1 17.3% ** Other 20 M Ds Total Equity 100.0% *** Split pro rata between the team members and reserved for new hires

21 Team . Departures • Departures vs. Remaining Team

The GP has seen 8 departures of senior members since the fundraising of Fund X. Correspondingly, the private equity team has restructured its industry teams slightly to combine its technology group with its media and communications team, as well as its retail team with its consumer group

While these departures are worth noting, most of them were wished by the GP to facilitate the changes, stemming from early underperformance of Fund Y

23 Strategy

. Consistency

Continuing Strategy for Fund III: Changes vs. Prior Funds of GP X: Out of the 144 investments completed over 26 years, 11 deals have Fund III’s investment strategy will be a continuation of the strategy required equity checks above $800m for a total performance of 1.0x cost deployed for the past 5 years. Since 2009, the GP has invested and a -1% gross IRR. Excluding these large deals that will not be $18bn of equity across 60 different investments with the following considered for Fund III, the performances stands at 2.1x cost and 31% characteristics:

gross IRR Deal Performance: Equity <$800m Upper middle-market check size: $69bn Since 2009, the GP has reduced its average equity tickets to $350m $32bn and refocused on upper mid-market companies. Following the financial Deal Count by Equity Check Size crisis, the GP has only participated in 1 of the 40 largest buyout Equity invested Current Value 11 deals (NAV + Proceeds) transactions: Company B 7% of total -1% IRR x Cost 2.1x Gross IRR 31% Limit consortium deals: Deal Performance: Equity The GP has not participated in a broad consortium deal with more than >$800m one additional large GP since 2009: in the 2009-2014 portfolio of 155 deals $13bn 93% of total investments, only 3% of equity invested overlapped with other 31% IRR $12bn large buyout firms

Equity invested Current Value Very selective on public-to-privates: (NAV + Proceeds)

x Cost 1.0x The Team is also selective in choosing which public-to-private Gross IRR -1% transactions are executed: unusual value due to temporary dislocations; differentiated perspective Portfolio Construction since 2009 Average check size across Fund A1 and A2 $310m Prudent use of leverage and lower purchase multiples: Limit consortium deals >1 GP Partner: 0 The GP has maintained a focus on buying companies at attractive Very selective on public-to-privates 27% valuations and capitalizing them with a view for coming changes in the Prudent use of leverage at entry 4.6x avg. Net debt / EBITDA macroeconomic cycle And low er purchase multiples 8.1x avg. EV / EBITDA Focus on core sectors 81% TIPS: 1. What are the different focus areas of the Fund? Is there a segment you are interested in getting more exposure to or that you wish to stay away from? 2. Explain how you differentiate yourself from your competitors on the sourcing side?

24 Strategy . Value Creation

• Value Creation Team

• The private equity team works with the Value Creation Team, a team of ~50 global operational professionals that provides an integral resource for portfolio operations. The Value Creation Team works closely with deal teams from the due diligence and includes strong partnership with portfolio company management teams, active governance and leveraging internal operational capabilities. Operational initiatives include:

• Long term sales growth: through new market entry, product innovation, improved sales force effectiveness, price optimization, etc.

• Upgrading and strengthening business processes and operating metrics: implementation of robust processes and systems related to sales, operations, finance, human resources, information technology and legal

• Portfolio management through M&A: by helping integrate strategic add-on acquisitions

• Support carve-out transactions: set up carve-out acquisitions on a standalone basis

• Cost and efficiency improvements, including turnarounds: related to purchasing and procurement, manufacturing strategies, discretionary spending and overhead expenses

• Industry deal teams utilize Value Creation Team to varying degrees, with the Industrial team’s strategy strongly geared towards operational improvements.

• Value creation

• Through its 168 investments, the value creation is mainly coming from Earnings Growth, accounting for 65% of total value creation. The 2 other contributors are split as follows: 18% from Multiple Expansion and 17% from Debt Pay down Value Creation by Fund Earnings Multiple Debt Fund Growth Expansion Paydown Fund A 105% -5% 0% Fund B 77% 20% 3% Fund C 67% 22% 11% Fund D 73% 11% 16% Fund E 62% 13% 25% Fund F 77% 6% 17% Fund G 39% 44% 17% Total 65% 18% 17% TIPS: Do you have a centralized procurement system across your portfolio companies and if so what savings have you been able to achieve?

25 Strategy

• Market Opportunity

Investment Strategy and Market Opportunities As mentioned above, thanks to modest use of leverage, the GP has weathered the financial crisis very well. Between Q3 2007 and Q3 2009, Fund A’s Gross ROI held steady and even achieved gains compared to the beginning of the crisis. Geographic Focus Throughout the crisis, gross ROI only briefly fell below 1.00x The GP sees significant opportunities to invest in Region D and believes that Country A will continue to be one of the top contributors to global growth in 2015. This country has also become a more Fund I Historical Performance competitive industrial destination given the low cost of natural gas and oil. This, coupled with 2.00x Financial Country B’s low-cost labor market and Country C’s natural resources, has created a strong Crisis 1.75x environment for continued industrial growth in the region 1.50x

The GP acquires companies at lower purchase prices and with less leverage. While the average LBO 1.75x purchase multiple is 8.6x, the GP’s average is 6.9x. Lower prices require less leverage; the industry average leverage multiple stands at 5.1x while GP portfolio companies’ leverage is 3.7x. This 1.50x discipline in purchase and leverage multiples has allowed the GP to achieve low volatility versus ROI Gross other buyout funds 1.25x
