Executive Summary
• Galloway Partners ("GP") is a newly established investment management company that specializes in
acquiring influential ownership stakes in distressed, small & micro cap companies. GP's strategy is to
use an "activist" approach to drive a turnaround in corporate value which will benefit both
stakeholders and shareholders of GP's portfolio companies.
• GP's primary focus is on US-listed companies which are in the Tech/Telcom, Natural Resources,
Consumer Retail, Healthcare Services and Business Services sectors. GP's target return is 2-5x on
invested capital over a 2-4 year investment horizon.
• Due to a unique confluence of events, valuations for many small and micro cap companies have been
pushed to distressed levels. Market inefficiencies are at an all-time high due to a dramatic reduction in
the number of buy-side and sell-side participants in the Small and Micro cap space. As a result, GP
believes that current market conditions are ripe for producing once-in-a-generation returns.
• Co-founded and controlled by Bruce Galloway, GP is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the current
market opportunity. Bruce Galloway has over 25 years of experience researching and investing in the
Small and Micro cap sector. In addition to being recognized as one of the industry's leading investors,
he has an unparalleled network of contacts and relationships to help source and assess potential
investments.
• GP has identified several initial investments which meet its investment requirements. GP is seeking to
raise US$50-100 million in a first closing for a new hedge find ("Strategic Opportunities Fund")
which will invest in Small and Micro caps. GP intends to transfer all control stakes to a newly formed
investment holding company ("LISTCO") and file a registration statement in order to affect a public
listing of LISTCO's shares.
