Peterborough SIB First SIB transaction completed in the

UK. The Ministry of Justice signed agreement in March 2010. Social Finance Ltd. raised £5 million to fund services to 3,000 male, short-sentenced offenders at Peterborough Prison.

Social sector organizations will provide intensive support to prisoners and their families.

If the re-offending rate is reduced by 7.5% or more, investors will receive cash payments giving them a return of 2.5% - 13.3%

Maximum capped at 13% over eight years.

Major Hurdles

1. Program Program must achieve

cost savings that are clear, measurable and consistent What is the Program’s

“outcome” metric? Can the outcome metric

be linked to a government cost savings?

How compelling is the data?

14

2. Does the Program generate cost savings that are greater than the costs of intervention?

Over what period of time?

What is the Program’s return on investment (“ROI”)

15

3. Besides cost savings for the government, what other social benefits does the Program generate?

How large, compelling and quantifiable are the social benefits?

16

4. What governmental entity will achieve cost savings?

Are they currently funding similar interventions? Would they be attracted to pay for outcomes

contract? How does the relevant budgetary process work?

Who pays? Who saves? Will the governmental entity be willing to pay a

“premium” over cost for the services? Should they? What does the government achieve?

What legislative, regulatory and other approvals are required?

What is the credit profile of the government?

17

5. Will investors be willing to take the risk? Financial investors? Social impact investors?

6. What is the appropriate expected rate of return? It depends on the risk of the Program and the return

available on other assets. Treasury Bills Treasury Bonds Corporate Bonds Equities Real Estate Venture Capital Private Equity Commodities Other Social Impact Investments
