THE OPPORTUNITY
Over the last two decades, the principals of Suntex have acquired, managed and/or sold more than 40 marinas. The
Company's marina experience spans geographic markets and economic cycles. The Company believes that the
conditions it is observing in today's market are uniquely advantageous for acquiring high quality marina assets.
CURRENT SUNTEX PROPERTIES(a)
The Company's investment thesis is driven by a number of factors:
HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY
• The marina sector has steep barriers to entry with continually
tightening environmental and zoning regulation
• As a result, Suntex can exert strong leverage in certain gateway
markets where demand outstrips supply. and new development is
prohibitively expensive
Bay Pointe - Quincy. MA
FRAGMENTED OWNERSHIP
• Greater than 90% of marinas are owned by non-institutional /
individual owners
• Suntex has a scaleable operating infrastructure, a national
geographic footprint and relationship with marina owners
throughout the country
Liberty Landing - Jersey City. NJ
HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE CAP RATES
• Trophy marinas can be acquired at highly attractive initial yields
• Given the illiquidity in the sector, Suntex can acquire irreplaceable
assets for cap rates in the 8 - 10% range
Snook Bight - Fort Myers. FL
PATHWAY TO THE PUBLIC MARKETS
• A private letter ruling from the IRS paves the way for marina
eligibility in a REIT structure
• The ruling creates a tax-advantaged stock or unit-based
"currency" for Suntex to offer sellers to facilitate the acquisition or
contribution of assets
Chandler's Landing - Rockwall. TX
FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE
• Suntex has a burgeoning. in-place pipeline including several world
renowned marina properties
• The opportunity to spearhead the roll-up of a highly fragmented
and inefficient industry is today
Tidewater- Portsmouth. VA
