What is Electra’s view of 2010?

Electra believes that recent months have seen a number of developments. In particular Electra Partners believes that distressed sellers exist across the capital structure and a shortage of capital to pursue opportunities means that competition for deals is likely to be reduced. These factors, together with Electra’s flexible investment mandate, will enable Electra Partners to target the growing number of investment opportunities in the market including capital for restructuring, buyouts, private equity into public companies, development capital, secondary investments and debt.

With a stable portfolio, Electra Partners is not fire fighting and can devote its energies to seeking new opportunities. This, together with the Ł281 million of investment capacity (as at
30 September 2009), means that Electra is in a good position for the future.
