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. 4 EFTA00505810 Executive Summary - Indicative Term Sheet Issuer Strategic Turnaround Fund, LP Security Description Series A Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Shares Dividend Rate [4%, payable in cash or in-kind] Maturity Date [5] years from Closing Issue Price USS[10,000] per share Issue Size US$50,000,000-100,000,000 Closing Date [November 30" 2013] Exchange Series A Preferred exchangeable at any time after a Qualified Listing Voting Rights Each share of Preferred stock will have the right to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of preferred stock Protective Provisions Consent of the holders of at least 50.1% of the Series A Preferred will be required to: • Alter any provision of the articles of incorporation or the bylaws; • Approve any transaction or series of transaction deemed to be a liquidation of the Company; • Approve any related party transactions; • Approve any merger or other corporate reorganization; • Declare or pay any dividend or distribution or approve any repurchase with respect to the Preferred or Common stock. lin cstor Rights • Maintain proportionate ownership; • Right of First Refusal; • Co-Sale Rights; • Drag-Along Rights 5 EFTA00505811 Executive Summary — Organizational Structure Galloway Holdings Galloway (LISTCO) Control stakes transferred to LISTCO, which Partners will be a publicly traded holding company (Mgmt Co) • Standard 2%I20% management fees paid by LISTCO ("GH") and Hedge Fund to the Mgmt Co.
