Subject: Trying again
Hello, Sultan! I hope all is well with you. I am happy to finally be able to send you the outline of what I
propose to accomplish with IGRCI.
IGRCI will be a US based equity fund that proposes to raise $250mm-$500mm of equity capital to invest
in various primarily distressed opportunities in the GCC. These will include but not be limited to real
estate developments and/or distressed assets, structured financial instruments, corporate credit, NPL's,
corporate opportunities in distressed companies, etc. The vast majority of the capital will be raised in the
US, Europe and Asia by Island Capital Group's wholly owned subsidiary, Anubis Advisors. It is also
contemplated, however, that there may be GCC based investors who want to invest in regional distress
related opportunities but would prefer not to be seen as predatory in local markets. These investors will
also be approached as potential participants. It should be clear that The Fund is positioning itself as
opportunistic rescue capital and not "vulture" capital. It is contemplated that the fund will receive an
annual Mangement fee of 200 bps with a promote of 25% over a 9% return. It is further anticipated that
the fund will bear certain costs and expenses associated with its ongoing operations. IGRCI also expects
to pay a one time fee of 200 bps for the placement of the equity in the fund.
IGRCI is being sponsored by Island Capital and an affiliate of Marty Edelman of Paul Hastings. The
business will be owned 75% by Island and 25% by Edelman. IGRCI will establish regional Headquaters
in each of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Saudi, Kuwait and Oman (the "Affiliates."). While these
enterprises would be individually capitalized by IGRCI it would be the intention of IGRCI to solicit the
participation and sponsorship of local business leaders (the "Leadership Partners") in each venue to share
in the profitability of investments made in the locale for which they were responsible. The Leadership
EFTA01016807
Partners would not be expected to make direct investments in IGRCI or the Affiliate for which they were
responsible, though they would have the right to do so should they so desire.
IGRCI would be looking to the Leadership Partners to source opportunities in the GCC area for which
they were primarily responsible. IGRCI would also look to the Leadership Partners to participate in the
fund raising aspect of IGRCI by permitting them to be identified as strategic local partners, providing
information relating to their own backgrounds, and participating in investor presentations from time-to-
time. For the avoidance of doubt, IGRCI would NOT be looking to the Leadership Partners to do actual
fundraising, simply to participate in educational sessions with IGRCI principals for the purposes of
describing access to deal flow and showing local capabilities. In addition to the above, The Leadership
Partners would (a) provide access to individuals in the region who could assist in the implementation of
various strategies, (b) provide introductions to local investors who might have interest in investing in
IGRCI and/or specific opportunities identified by IGRCI or an Affiliate and, (c) provide services to the
Affiliates and/or IGRCI in exchange for fee and/or incentive based compensation. Such services would
include the sourcing of investment opportunities, development and operating expertise for real estate
related investments, monetization strategies and tactics for NPL related investments, and industrial and/or
consulting services for corporate level investments.
The Leadership Partners would own direct interest in the Affiliate(s) for which they held primary
responsibility. It is anticipated that such interests would approximate 15% of the ownership without any
equity investment with the option to acquire an incremental stake of up to 25% (aggregate), plus co-
investment rights in specific transactions. The mechanics for the acquisition of incremental participation
will be described in formal documentation. To the extent possible it would be expected that the
Leadership Partners would be able to provide some administrative support and office space for the start-
up stage of the operations.
Sultan, I would like to ask you both serve on the board of the US based parent company and to be the
Leadership Partner in Dubai. I am going to begin the fundraising stage of the undertaking as soon as we
have completed selecting the leadership partners, have their permission to use their names and CVs in
their materials and have established road show schedules for the fund raising itself. In any case I would
expect that this stage would commence no later than the beginning of the year.
Thank you for considering this. I will call you to discuss it.
