…and opportunities are particularly strong in the Gulf region
Significant unmet medical need in the Gulf

Transformative medical breakthroughs
Transformative medical breakthroughs
• New therapies in development could revolutionize treatments for patients in the Gulf (e.g., cell therapy that cures cancer)
• Many therapies which are currently approved in other regions are not approved in the Gulf
Conservatively valued Healthcare assets
Conservatively valued Healthcare assets
• Currently there is a limited amount of capital devoted to developing healthcare technologies in the Gulf region
• The Gulf region is outside the focus of most pharma companies, presenting licensing opportunities at low valuations
• Diabetes prevalence in the Gulf region is double that of other nations (9.2% versus 5%) and is projected to increase faster than any other region
• Cancer currently accounts for 15% of all deaths in the Gulf region with death rates increasing over 60% in the next 20 years
We believe there is an opportunity for a Gulf-focused Healthcare Fund

• Saudi Arabia has the largest and fastest-growing population in the Gulf (26M growing at 3% per annum)
• Over 50% of the population classified as overweight, 30% of the population suffering from type II diabetes, and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases quadrupling annually
• Saudi drug market worth around SR 9.94B (USD 2.65B) in 2008, with spending in the sector expected to increase to SR 13.09B (USD 3.49B) by 2013 (CAGR 5.6%)
• Per capita spend on pharmaceuticals 150% that of the rest of the Arab World, with patients favoring branded products over generics (market share of generics in Saudi Arabia is 5.8% vs. 50% in many European countries)
• Life sciences identified as priority area for development by the Kingdom with regulatory and financial incentives in place to enable healthcare technology development
• More than 82% of the medicines utilized in Saudi Arabia are imported; huge opportunity to develop adjacencies in manufacturing and distribution
