    WARSAW, Poland & BUDAPEST, Hungary--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MCI Group, a leading Central European private equity firm with headquarters in Warsaw (Poland), announced today that their Fund MCI.EuroVentures is selling a portion of its shares in Netrisk, the leading online insurance brokerage in Hungary, to global growth private equity firm TA Associates for EUR 55 million (PLN 235 million). As a result of the partial exit, MCI.EuroVentures (buyout fund of MCI Group) has realized a return on investment of 3.0x CoC and 73% IRR. ● MCI Group, one of the leading investors in the Central and Eastern European (EU-CEE) region, remains an important investor in Netrisk and is retaining a 23.7% stake in the company to actively help build value for the insurtech leader on a larger, regional scale. ● TA Associates and Netrisk’s management will hold 75% and 1.3% of the company’s shares, respectively. ● Minority shareholder AMC Capital IV S.c.Sp., advised by Mezzanine Management, is selling all of its shares in Netrisk. ● TA Associates is one of the most experienced global growth private equity firms, having raised USD 33.5 billion in capital since its founding in 1968, and has a long history of investing in companies focused on the digital economy. ● In addition to sustained organic growth, Netrisk will consider acquisition opportunities in CEE, including online, multi-channel and offline companies involved in the distribution of personal- line insurance products. MCI.EuroVentures invested in Netrisk in 2017. The non-life insurance market in Hungary is estimated at USD 1.8 billion, of which the online channel accounts for more than 20%, which is significantly more than other countries in the region, including Poland.

    (R&D) Tax Credit

    Report toThe the Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Department of General Revenue Assembly Bureau of Research on the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue Bureau of Research March 15, 2012 Pennsylvania Research and Development Tax Credit Page 1 of 14 The Pennsylvania R&D Tax Credit Statute On May 7, 1997, Act 7 of 1997 created the Pennsylvania research and development (R&D) tax credit. The R&D tax credit provision became Article XVII-B of the Tax Reform Code of 1971 (TRC). The intent of the R&D tax credit was to encourage taxpayers to increase R&D expenditures within the Commonwealth in order to enhance economic growth. The terms and concepts used in the calculation of the Commonwealth’s R&D tax credit are based on the federal government’s R&D tax credit definitions for qualified research expense.1 For R&D tax credits awarded between December 1997 and December 2003, Act 7 of 1997 authorized the Department of Revenue (Department) to approve up to $15 million in total tax credits per fiscal year. Additionally, $3 million of the $15 million was set aside for “small” businesses, where a “small business” is defined as a “for-profit corporation, limited liability company, partnership or proprietorship with net book value of assets totaling…less than five million dollars ($5,000,000).” Over the years, several changes have been made to the R&D tax credit statute. Table 1 lists all of the acts that have changed the R&D tax credit statute, along with the applicable award years, the overall tax credit cap and the “small” business set aside.

View this email in your browser Dear Friends and Fellow Republicans Impeach Joe Biden As we learned from the unconstitutional impeachments of Donald Trump, the political process of impeachment is something we should never be tossing Subscribearound Pastlightly. Issues There is a reason that only 3 of 46 Presidents were ever actuallyTranslate impeached (Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached) – Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump. I hate to say this, but it is now time that we add a 4th president to that list – Joseph Robinette Biden. Mr. Biden needs to be impeached for multiple reasons. 1. Refusing to enforce US Border laws in violation of federal statutes, therefore making a terrorist attack more likely. 2. Abandoning our Afghan allies and breaking a treaty aka international law. 3. Setting conditions on a visit from Ukrainian President Zelensky by requiring Ukraine to sign off on an energy deal with Russia, which is much more serious than anything President Trump may have done. A quid pro quo (something for something) is clearly against US law. For those of you who think this is nothing more than political theater – 1st off, what do you call the 2 impeachments of President Trump? Second, anyone who is ½ way intellectually honest can see that both Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are both unfit to lead. This regime has destroyed American credibility around the world, and we cannot survive as a nation with such feckless leadership in place. Now, do I really think that Mr.
