    Investment Thesis Summary

    June 20Page 3 www.libertycapital.ge

    We invest in financial institutions in selected emerging/frontier markets

    A geographic and sector matrix approach

    Geographic focusSmaller frontier markets (with GDP of less than US$100 bn) have largely

    been overlooked or de-emphasised since 2008 by multinational banks, and

    this trend will likely continue for the next few years

    We focus on countries with good governance, low levels of corruption,

    sound macroeconomic policies and outlook, low taxes/small fiscal footprint,

    transparency and stability of the legal framework and low banking

    assets/GDP ratios

    Sector focus

    The banking sector in selected emerging/frontier markets

    Very selectively - private banking, wealth management and trust &

    corporate services providers serving clients in EMEA

    Opportunistic but highly disciplined investments in other segments ofthe financial services sector

    Investment Thesis Summary contd

    The banking sector is a priority

    Banks are among the earliest and biggest beneficiaries of economic reforms

    in emerging/frontier marketsThe banks we invest in have to have a reasonable chance of attaining a top

    five position in their home market, or already are among the top five thisgives the banks a natural entitlement to a share of local deposits, as well asdefendable earning power

    We will seek to attain majority control or a meaningful minority stake in such

    banks, because we are confident that we can add value by leveraging LadoGurgenidzes experience in building in 2004-2007 a similar institution fromvery humble beginnings (and creating about US$1 billion shareholder value in

    the process) and help the investee banks with product innovation, delivery

    channel modernisation, HR, risk management and IR to rapidly scale up the

    footprint and gain market share, ensuring profitable organic growth

    No more than 1-2 investments a year, to give us the time to provide sufficientattention to each investee company, initiate a transformation, build or enhance

    the local team, etc

    Making A Difference

    June 20Page 5 www.libertycapital.ge

    How do we intend to make a difference? We believe we can contribute in the following ways:

    Strategic re-engineering. Small financial services companies, whether public or private, typically lack the resources

    to embark upon business models which require aggressive scale. As such, they often engage in strategic self-censorship and pursue less ambitious strategies, thus leaving much low-hanging fruit untouched. We think we canadd a much-needed fresh look and genuinely international dimension to our investee companies strategic thinking

    Scaling up the business. Even with resources available, the objective of scaling up the business over a 2-3 year

    timeframe typically entails a set of operational challenges. This is particularly true for the financial services industry,

    and more so now than before the crisis. Having led one of the most successful (and rapid) independent scaling-up

    efforts in universal banking in CEE, we believe we can meaningfully contribute in helping the incumbent

    management teams to scale up their business 3x-5x in the medium term in their traditional markets and beyond

    Innovation. In some cases, we may bring to bear our experience in designing innovative products and, in particular,

    innovative approaches to developing alternative distribution and service delivery channels. This experience would

    be applicable primarily but not exclusively in the frontier markets

    Synergistic growth. Where appropriate, we will seek to convince the investee banks to systemically realign their

    businesses with one another to take full advantage of cross-referral and other revenue opportunities. Such

    realignments may or may not result in cross-shareholding or mergers, although we will pursue such opportunities

    when appropriate

    Access to funding. Some of the prospective investee companies may benefit from our experience in raising equity

    and debt capital, and from our wide-ranging relationships with the buy-side (especially with the GEM-and-EMEA-

    focused hedge funds and real-money accounts)

    Corporate governance. In almost all cases we will actively seek board representation. Occasionally, we will resort to

    shareholder activism if we are convinced that our efforts in this direction will help extract value and set the

    companies on the right path. And in case of companies with attractive platform characteristics or indemonstrableneed of a turnaround,we will seek voting and managerial control

    About Dinu Patriciu

    Dinu Patriciu is a Romanian citizen who began his career as an architect. Over the last twenty years he has been at the forefront of regional

    business and political life, becoming one of the leading advocates of free market principles and classical liberal values in Romania and South

    Eastern Europe.

    Rompetrol embarked on an international expansion program in the Balkan region and beyond, including Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine, and in

    2005 acquired Dyneff Group SA, the largest independent distributor of oil products in France. In August 2007, Dinu Patriciu sold 75% of

    services sector reform as well as aggressive privatisationand liberalisation policies. In the aftermath of the August 2008conflict with Russia, Lado was instrumental

    in stabilising the Georgian economy and its financial sector, as well as securing a US$750 million IMF stand-by arrangement and a $4.5 billion multi-donor aid

    package.

    Lado put Georgia on the global institutional investor map, leading the first-ever international equity and debt capital markets issues by Bank of Georgia and the
