Description • Marathon is one fo the largest stressed and distressed investors in the world. Since the Global Financial Crisis, the firm has invested over $10 billion in the space. Current total assets under management are almost $17 billion. • The strategy will target investments in deeply stressed companies or issuers going through, or that may benefit from, a restructuring process. The opportunity set includes bankruptcy reorganizations, liquidations, distressed exchanges, Debtor-In-Possession financings, dislocated corporate credits, and rescue lending. Because of the dislocation in credit due to the COVID-19 driven economic retrenchment, it is expected to generate a net IRR of 20% and a net equity multiple of 1.7X. • The management fee of 1.25% on invested capital (possibly falling to 1% based on total AndCo client commitments) and 20% incentive after an 8% hurdle is investor friendly. • Funding will come from distributions from existing investments across the portfolio. Justification • This action will provide additional diversification for the portfolio, with an experienced and top tier investment manager, while growing the under-target non-core fixed income allocation.

Investments Action That the Chief Executive Officer or designee be authorized to enter into an Asset Management Agreement with BlackRock, Inc. for participation in BlackRock IX, a direct lending fund, in a commitment amount of $7.5 million. Description • BlackRock is the largest asset management firm in the world. In 2018, it acquired the talents of Tennenbaum Capital, a direct lending specialist with over two decades in the space. • Since 2000, the now-BlackRock team has invested over $19 billion in 700-plus transactions. Even more impressive is its cumulative loss ratio of 1.45% across all loans. • The objective of Fund IX is to provide debt financing to meet the distinct and underserved needs of North American middle-market companies. BlackRock will generally target healthy businesses that are seeking capital for various objectives, including growth, acquisitions, refinancings/recapitalizations, expansion stage venture lending, and leveraged buyout activity. The strategy is expected to generate a high current income of over 6% with a total net return of 10%. • The management fee of 1.15% on invested capital and 15% incentive after a 7% hurdle is very investor-friendly. • Funding will come from existing investments across the portfolio. Justification • This action will provide additional diversification for the portfolio, with a top tier investment manager, while growing the under-target non-core fixed income allocation.

Beginning in 2000 with its first fund, Patron has invested in 81 assets across 16 European countries representing 2.89 billion Euro of equity. • The goal of Fund VI is to continue the successful strategy of its predecessor funds by focusing on selective opportunistic and value-oriented investments, primarily challenged assets such as distressed and/or undervalued property and property-related assets, loans, and corporate entities.

    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.

  • Real Estate Alert’S 22Nd Annual Review of Closed- End Commingled Funds That Seek Yields of at Least 10% by Investing in Com- Mercial Real Estate
    SPECIAL REPORT Fund Managers Flush With Capital, but Not Opportunities Capital, capital everywhere, but no place to invest. Number of Active Funds That’s the quandary facing managers of high-yield real estate funds. 488 466 466 By any measure, their industry is booming, with both the number of vehi- 445 427 429 425 440 cles and the amount of equity commitments at record levels. But finding suit- 415 406 able investments for all that capital is becoming harder and harder, because the long-running bull market has driven valuations sky-high. As a result, fund managers are lowering their return goals and sitting on an unprecedented hoard of uninvested capital. Those are key findings ofReal Estate Alert’s 22nd annual review of closed- end commingled funds that seek yields of at least 10% by investing in com- mercial real estate. The review identified a record 488 active vehicles, up 5% from 466 a year ago. Those funds are managed by a record 392 operators, up from the previous high of 374 last year. They have set an aggregate $339.9 billion equity goal and 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 have already raised $261.3 billion of that amount (or slightly more than three- quarters) — also new highs. But a whopping 72% of those commitments, or $186.9 billion, is still unin- vested. That tally is up 14% from a revised $164.5 billion of dry powder last Uninvested Equity ($Bil.) year and nearly double the $97.9 billion level in 2015. 187 164 The reason why is no mystery: Fund managers see fewer opportunities that 161 fit their return goals.

  • Allianz Purchases Berlin Office Complex from Patron Capital and Suprema
    6 June 2017 Allianz purchases Berlin office complex from Patron Capital and Suprema • Fully refurbished office building with floorspace of 40,000 sq m • Completion of forward deal planned in H1 2018 On behalf of several Allianz companies Allianz Real Estate has purchased the 40,000 sq m office redevelopment known as “EightFloors” on Franklinstrasse in Berlin’s Charlottenburg. The sellers are Patron Capital Partners and its long-standing local partner Suprema. Allianz was able to secure the property early in a forward deal for a value of circa €175 million. Closing will take place after completion of the ongoing refurbishment in 2018. Having purchased the property in 2015 as a redevelopment opportunity, Patron relaunched it in 2016, adding a landmark glass tower on the corner of Franklinstrasse and Salzufer, a new reception, roof terrace, lounge and entrance areas, as well as landscaped courtyards. This was designed by renowned architect Gewers Pudewill. Upon completion in 2018, the office complex will be fully refurbished and extended. Allianz will apply for a Silver certificate by the DGNB German Sustainable Building Council. The eight-storey asset offers large floorplates of up to 4,500 sq m, which are in short supply in Berlin and its City West submarket. The multi-tenant structure includes mostly tenants who particularly benefit from being in the immediate vicinity of the Technical University of Berlin with its 31,000 students and 8,500 staff, and other prominent academic and business institutions such as the University of Arts and the Fraunhofer Institute which are located in close proximity. To date, the property has already been 83% leased.

  • CALA Group Limited CALA Announces New Investment Partners Patron and Legal & General to Acquire the Group
    18 March 2013 CALA Group Limited CALA announces new investment partners Patron and Legal & General to acquire the Group CALA Group Limited (“CALA” or “The Group”), the UK’s premium major home builder, today announces that it has reached an agreement with Patron Capital Partners (“Patron”), the private equity group, and Legal & General Group plc (“Legal & General”), the insurance, savings and investment management company, under which they will acquire the Group. The investment by both Patron and Legal & General illustrates their confidence in the Group’s future prospects and provides CALA with a strong platform for growth, through greater balance sheet capacity and the funds to add significantly to its existing land bank. This platform will enable the Group to build on the positive momentum it has generated in recent years, with a medium term aim of increasing the size of the Group substantially. Under the terms of the agreement, Legal & General and Patron will each take a 46.5% equity stake in CALA alongside CALA’s existing senior management team who will take a 7% share. The transaction comprises £140m of equity, and £70m of debt, valuing CALA at £210m. Patron will lead the investment and both Legal & General and Patron will have a representative on CALA’s Board going forward. Lloyds Banking Group will continue its support of the business with a new £100m five year banking facility. CALA’s premium market positioning and presence in more affluent areas of the UK such as the Home Counties, The Cotswolds and around Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen enabled the Group to return to profitability in 2011 for the first time since 2007, one year ahead of management’s plans.

    PRESS RELEASE LEGAL & GENERAL CAPITAL 13 March 2018 LEGAL & GENERAL CAPITAL ACQUIRES FULL OWNERSHIP OF CALA HOMES Legal & General Group announces today that its Legal & General Capital division has acquired the 52.1% of CALA Homes which it did not previously own. Transaction announcement and completion occurs simultaneously. The business has performed strongly under our joint ownership with Patron Capital Partners, with revenues growing threefold from £241m in 2013 to £748m in 2017, and profits growing at a CAGR of 12% over the last three years. Legal & General believes that CALA Homes has attractive growth prospects under its continued ownership based on Legal & General Capital’s long term approach to investing and the attractive market for housebuilding in the UK. If CALA Homes had been 100% owned by Legal & General during 2017 on a post transaction basis, the operating profit before tax would have been £91.5m. Legal & General reported operating profit before tax for its 47.88% stake in CALA Homes in 2017 of £42.5m. The total valuation of 100% of the equity in CALA Homes was £605m. The acquisition cost of the 52.1% share capital Legal & General did not own was £315m plus additional transaction costs and financial adjustments to reflect the contribution of management and Patron during the period of our joint ownership. Kerrigan Procter, Chief Executive Officer of Legal & General Capital, said: “Legal & General is delighted to assume full ownership of CALA Homes, a growing business which we know and understand well. It has a strong management team with proven experience of managing a housebuilding business across business cycles, and has delivered great returns for shareholders since its acquisition in 2013, having tripled in revenue during this time.
