JERUSALEM – TEL AVIV – HAIFA 9 ’sIsrael’s FirstFirst InfrastructureInfrastructure FundFund (1)(1)

As part of the general policy to increase the involvement of the private sector in the development of infrastructure, there is a need for Infrastructure Funds. The first infrastructure fund in Israel is Israel Infrastructure Fund (“IIF”) Main rolls of the Fund: • Raising capital for investments in infrastructure projects being built by the private sector. • Locating infrastructure projects that have good potential. • Serving as an “arranger” for raising the needed funds together with other funds, banks and accredited investors.

JERUSALEM – TEL AVIV – HAIFA 10 Israel’sIsrael’s FirstFirst InfrastructureInfrastructure FundFund (2)(2)

The fund will invest in small and medium size PPP projects, focusing on development of projects that are not in the public domain and that institutional investors would otherwise have limited access to. Most of the Investors in the Fund are Institutional Investors. The Fund identifies for the Institutional Investors low risk, long terms investments. The return on the investments in the Fund is projected at % per annum.

The Traditional Perception: Banks negotiated the Financing and served as “Arrangers”. Institutional Investors “played” the role of co-investors. The New Perception: Banks and Institutional Investors join together in the Financing (including negotiations), while Banks negotiate and finance the short-term construction credit facilities, the Institutional Investors negotiate and finance the long-term credit facilities.
