Vision
  • Stephen Norris Co. Capital Partners,
    L.P. is a private equity investment partnership
    formed to (i)co-invest along side well
    established and successful private equity and
    leveraged buyout firms, (ii) take advantage of
    the business experience and relationships of its
    Investment Committee, including Steve Norris
    long-standing relationships and substantial
    private equity experience as co-founder of The
    Carlyle Group and Steve Paperins experience as
    Senior Advisor to Soros Fund Management, and
    (iii) create the opportunity to realize
    substantial long term capital appreciation with
    less risk than typically associated with private
    equity investments.

Market Opportunity / Strategy
  • It has been reported that larger private equity
    and buyout firms have on average provided an
    annualized return on investment of 22.5 over the
    last 3 years and 13.2 over the last 5 years and,
    as compared to the SP 500, which has provided a
    14.4 and 0.5 return over the same periods.
  • Buyouts are larger and private equity and buyout
    firms are actively seeking co-investors to allow
    them to take advantage of large opportunities
    which they are unable to do on their own because
    of deal size commitment and/or diversification
    limitations. Very few firms want to invest 1B
    or more of their funds in any one transaction,
    irrespective of the size of their funds.
  • Well established private equity firms
    increasingly are seeking an equally well
    capitalized Co-Investment Partner of Choice that
    can invest significant capital and whose
    principals are known to them - a Dependable
    Partner of Choice. This is in addition to any
    co-investment rights offered by the sponsors to
    their own investors, which are derived from the
    sponsors share after allocation to institutional
    investors or co-investors such as the
    Partnership.
  • The Partnership will be able to timely commit
    substantial capital (50 million and more) to
    each identified and selected opportunity.

Market Opportunity / Strategy
  • The Partnership will invest in deals on an
    opportunistic basis using the substantial private
    equity experience of its Investment Committee
    (which collectively has over 75 years of
    experience in sourcing, analyzing, structuring,
    buying and selling companies), and independent
    due diligence to pick the best among available
    investment opportunities. Because of the network
    and access of Mr. Norris and Mr. Paperin and the
    other members of the Investment Committee to most
    of the private equity and buyout firms throughout
    the world, the Investment Committee will be able
    to cherry-pick the very best deals of top-tier
    private equity and buyout firms.
  • In the current environment there are few
    non-competing investors able to exercise
    co-investment opportunities and invest 50M or
    more in a timely manner.
  • The Partnership will not originate investments
    and accordingly will not compete with
    sponsoring private equity and buyout firms and
    thus will be more attractive as the Co-Investment
    Partner of Choice of those firms.
  • In addition to the Investment Committees own
    due diligence the Partnership will have access
    to the comprehensive due diligence already
    performed by the sponsoring private equity or
    buyout firm. Therefore, on every investment made
    by the Partnership, two extensive analyses will
    have been done, (I) reducing risk, and (ii)
    enhancing the likelihood of investment success
    and substantial returns.

Trend of Participation in Larger Deals
  • On Dec. 21, 2005, Ford Motor Company announced it
    had completed the sale of The Hertz Corporation
    to an investor group composed of Clayton Dubilier
    Rice, The Carlyle Group and Merrill Lynch
    Global Private Equity in a transaction valued at
    approximately 15 billion including debt.
  • On December 12, 2005, a consortium of Bain
    Capital, The Carlyle Group and Thomas H. Lee
    Partners said they reached a deal to buy fast
    food franchiser Dunkin' Brands, Inc. from French
    beverage company Pernod Ricard S.A. for 2.43
    billion in cash.
  • On December 1, 2005, a trio of private-equity
    firms consisting of the Blackstone Group,
    Providence Equity Partners Inc. and Kohlberg
    Kravis Roberts Co. announced it has formed an
    alliance to examine purchasing newspaper
    publisher Knight Ridder Inc., which owns the
    Miami Herald, the Philadelphia Inquirer and 30
    other daily newspapers.
  • General Motors Corp. reached a definitive
    agreement to sell its Electro-Motive Division
    (EMD) to an investor group led by Greenbriar
    Equity Group LLC and Berkshire Partners LLC in a
    deal expected to close in late 2005.
  • Hicks Muse, TD Capital, and CIBC Capital Partners
    acquired Canadian cable company, Persona, the
    countrys 6th largest, for 406 million in July
    of 2004.
  • Texas Pacific Group and Warburg Pincus LLC
    acquired Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. for 5.1
    billion in May of 2005.
  • KKR, Five Mile Capital Partners, and Goldman
    Sachs Capital Partners announced in August 2005
    that they had reached a definitive agreement with
    General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC),
    the financial services subsidiary of General
    Motors Corporation, to acquire a 60 percent
    equity interest in its commercial mortgage
    subsidiary, GMAC Commercial Holding Corp.

Uniqueness and Comparative Advantages
  • The Investment Committee (led by its Chairman
    Steve Norris, Co-Founder of The Carlyle Group,
    and the Partnerships Chief Operating Officer,
    Stewart Paperin, Senior Advisor to Soros Fund
    Management), has well established relationships
    and personal access to executives of major
    investment and buyout firms internationally,
    built over their more than 75 years of collective
    experience in analyzing, structuring, negotiating
    and closing mergers, acquisitions, and
    investments.
  • In addition to the Investment Committee, the
    Partnership will have two Business Development
    Directors with substantial contacts to premier
    private equity and leveraged buyout firms. The
    Partnership will create an Advisory Board that
    will help widen the network of relationships
    available to the Partnership better helping the
    Partnership leverage the international networks
    and personal relationships of its members.
  • Mr. Norris is well known, highly regarded and
    has an extensive track record of success in
    private equity and buyout investments having
    achieved at the Carlyle Group an IRR in excess of
    40 on investments he originated, negotiated or
    materially participated. The Carlyle Groups
    first fund was a 105 million fund that arranged
    investments of approximately four times its
    capital by working extensively with co-investors
    and strategic partners.
  • Co-investors are only attractive to sponsors when
    they can act in a timely fashion and commit
    significant capital. There are few investors that
    are able to co-invest significant amounts of
    capital (50 and more) in a timely manner.

Uniqueness and Comparative Advantages
  • By pooling the participations of investors, the
    Partnership can commit large sums of capital,
    with no single investor having to commit the
    entire amount, thereby permitting the Partnership
    to co-invest in the Big deals.
  • By not originating investments, the Partnership
    will not compete with any sponsoring buyout or
    investment firm in potential investments.
  • As opposed to a fund of funds, the Partnership
    intends to choose from among numerous specific
    investment opportunities presented by leading
    buyout firms and will not invest blindly in any
    fund or investment. It will invest directly in
    deals, avoiding the doubling of fees and carry.
  • The Partnership will have the benefit of an
    established network of relationships attractive
    to portfolio companies, including significant
    contacts in the Middle East, China and Europe,
    and from its unique understanding of and access
    to government that will give it a competitive
    advantage as a co-investor.

Due Diligence Process
  • The investment process will be managed by an
    Investment Committee chaired by Mr. Norris.
  • As Chief Operating Officer, Stewart Paperin,
    Senior Advisor to Soros Fund Management, who will
    after the First Closing work substantially
    full-time for the Partnership, will have personal
    responsibility for managing the due diligence
    process and the financial analysis of investments
    performed by the Partnerships senior analysts.
  • In addition to Mr. Paperin, the Partnership will
    employ two full-time seasoned Senior Analysts who
    will report to Mr. Paperin and have at least 20
    years of combined experience. One of the Senior
    Analysts will be a CPA with strategic planning
    experience and the other will have an advanced
    business degree and substantial senior-level
    private equity fund experience which will include
    analyzing, structuring and negotiating deals that
    will be well known to Mr. Paperin or Mr. Norris.
  • The due diligence reviews themselves will be
    out-sourced to veteran industry experts known
    to and selected by Mr. Norris, Mr. Paperin and
    the other members of the Investment Committee,
    who will build their independent analysis on the
    substantial due diligence efforts of the deal
    sponsors and their advisors. This analysis will
    be overseen and reviewed by Mr. Paperin.
  • The process will allow the Partnership to
    efficiently cherry-pick the best deals
    available from premier equity and buyout funds,
    reducing risk and greatly enhancing the
    likelihood of substantial returns to the
    Partnership.

Due Diligence Process
  • The Investment Committees review will focus on
  • Competitors and barriers to entry and assessment
    of industry.
  • Business strategy product development,
    marketing, sales and distribution, intellectual
    property, etc.
  • Managements background and experience within
    their industry sector, ability to attract and
    retain top talent, ability to manage growth and
    execute to plan including an assessment of the
    opinions of customers and suppliers regarding the

  • Financial history and scrutiny of Sponsors
    projections of revenues, margins, cash flow, etc.
