Dunedin Fund Investment Programme

About Dunedin

Dunedin Capital Partners Ltd is a UK based,
independently owned, private equity manager which
specialises in small and medium sized UK buyouts.
Dunedin operates through an investment team of 17
professionals based in London and Edinburgh.
Since its own buyout in 1996, Dunedin has
completed 36 buyout transactions in the UK private
equity market and currently manages £500m (€630m)
of assets for a range of institutional investors. Its latest fund, the £250m (€315m) Dunedin Buyout Fund II, was raised in 2006.

Dunedin has enjoyed considerable success in this
space, winning the top accolade of 'Private Equity
House of the Year' in last year's British Venture Capital Association Awards.

Since 1987, Dunedin has also served as the sole
investment manager for Dunedin Enterprise
Investment Trust PLC, an investment company listed
on the London Stock Exchange.

Dunedin's fund investment programme

Dunedin launched its fund investment programme in
2008 in order to increase the exposure of its client,
Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC, to the
European buyout market. Implementing the
programme's investment strategy will see a series of
commitments made to and minority investments
completed alongside small to medium sized, single
country focussed buyout funds located in Europe.
The programme is highly flexible but is anticipated to
make average commitments of €15m per fund to
individual funds and co-investments of up to €10m
per transaction. It will consider investing in 'first time'
funds, including 'cornerstone' positions.

Benefits

This new programme offers attractive benefits to
General Partners:

An 'evergreen' investment platform:

Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC is a
permanent capital or 'evergreen' structure which
has been in existence and managed by Dunedin for
more than 20 years. We are thus able to offer
successful investment partners the prospect of both
a highly stable relationship and ongoing
commitments to successive funds, regardless of
any fundraising cycle of our own.

An LP who thinks and acts like a GP:

As private equity managers ourselves, we have
a practitioner's understanding of the issues faced
by other private equity investors. We bring this to
bear in our own investment process and
decision-making.

A value-added investment partner:

The aim of this programme is to build a portfolio of
funds which targets the same type of investment
(small / medium sized buyouts) in a number of
different geographies across Europe. We aim to
add value to our investment partners by providing
the opportunity for funds within the programme to
interact with their non-competing peers in different
geographies (should they wish to do so). Given the
increasingly international nature of portfolio
companies, we believe that facilitating knowledge
sharing across the funds in the programme will
offer tangible benefits to those within it.

We very much look forward to working with you.
