Management’s proactive approach to the global financial crisis has helped us remain on solid ground despite chal- lenging conditions. In the second half of 2008, the team quickly and aggressively responded to the global financial crisis, including the sharp decline in regional stock mar- kets. By promptly downsizing the margin lending business, exiting proprietary trading strategies, restructuring depart- ments, closely scrutinizing operating expenditures and accepting substantial pay cuts, Management brought down costs across the board and contained risk wherever possible. The Board of Directors is extremely pleased with the prompt actions taken by Executive Management to ad- dress the risks to the business and mitigate the effect of the crisis. Both Executive Management and employees have shown diligence and prudence while working as a team to address the crisis, its inherent risks and its adverse impact on the business. They have done a remarkably good job given the circumstances, as is evident from our 2008 financial results. EFG-Hermes is the only Arab investment bank with an on- the-ground presence in every major regional market, offer- ing the firm a considerable degree of breadth and diversity. We will continue to focus on the region we know best and on our core lines of business. As the crisis continues into 2009, we will maintain the same cautious approach that we adopted last year. We are confident that EFG-Hermes remains on solid ground. We Entertainment Co. Turner TM & © (s09) EFG-Hermes Annual Report 2008 5 From the Chief Executives Dear Shareholders, by 2011.

Pursuant to the agreement, EFG Hermes and QInvest will enter into a joint venture at the level of EFG Hermes Qatar LLC (“EFG Hermes Qatar” or the “JV Company”), to be 60% owned by QInvest and 40% owned by EFG Hermes. The JV Company shall be the entity holding the Business post-closing. This announcement follows the initial press release on March 26, 2012, when the two parties agreed to explore a potential strategic alliance with the aim of creating a leading investment bank with operations in the Arab world and beyond, comprehensively covering the Middle East, Africa, Turkey and South and South East Asia.

The three-day event will see 27 investors from 22 companies and financial institutions representing USD 5.5 trillion in assets under management (AUMs) meet with a cohort of top government officials and CEOs from Egypt’s top listed companies to discuss the stability and steady growth of Egypt’s economy following recent reform efforts. “EFG Hermes is committed to supporting efforts to attract foreign capital to Egypt as we continue to play our role as the bridge between foreign capital and investment opportunities in Egypt and frontier emerging markets. The impressive turnout at the Egypt Day Summit from global investors, Egyptian companies and government representatives is a reflection of Egypt’s position as a key regional market that offers compelling opportunities to the global investment community,” said EFG Hermes Group Chief Executive Officer Karim Awad. “The consistent success of this gathering is a testament to the positive outlook on the local market and the global perception of Egypt as a growing economy in a region that is in constant flux.” With the country’s strong fundamentals and an increasingly positive economic outlook, there is growing interest from the international business community to pursue growth opportunities in Egypt, which boasts the largest consumer market in the MENA region, among other favorable demographic and economic characteristics.
