Franchise Elements Brazil’s largest vertically integrated healthcare operator focused on

providing quality healthcare at affordable prices to employers in the country’s southeast.

Investment Thesis As Brazil has faced rapid healthcare cost inflation, Intermedica has

vertically integrated into the provision of hospital and ambulatory services, lowering costs and improving quality of service. These savings have allowed Intermedica to lower premiums and capture market share during recession years in Brazil.

Brazil is still in the early innings of a healthcare industry consolidation with the top three players accounting for less than 20% of insured lives. Intermedica should be one of the key consolidators of this market going forward.

As Brazil comes out of a 3-year recession and economic growth picks up, Intermedica will likely be a significant beneficiary of job growth creation.

Campaign Highlights Initiated a GardenSM position in Q2 2018 upon the company’s initial

public offering.

Became a top-20 holding by Q2 2019 as we saw signs the profit cycle was accelerating as anticipated.

Increased to a top-10 holding by Q4 2019 as we gained conviction in the strength of the profit-cycle potential.

Initial Purchase Date: 23 Apr 2018

Franchise Elements The world's leading manufacturer of microbatteries for hearing aids,

wearable electronics, and industrial applications.

Investment Thesis Sleek, and small wearable devices such as wireless headphones, smart

watches, fitness trackers, with complex wireless connectivity needs (WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G) require batteries with high energy density in small form factors, with high reliability & fire safety requirements play to VARTA 's strengths.

VARTA's core hearing aid business is also undergoing a slow but steady transition as the market moves towards rechargeable Lithium batteries from current disposable Zinc batteries.

Our work suggests that VARTA's expertise in high volume manufacturing (1.2bn batteries per year) of miniature batteries driven by 30+ years of innovation, combined with stringent reliability requirements makes it one of the only producers capable of serving this market. We anticipate a meaningful growth runway ahead of the company, which should drive a compelling profit cycle.

Campaign Highlights Initiated a GardenSM position in Q3 2018.

Became a top-20 holding by Q2 2019 on signs the profit cycle was taking hold as we anticipated.

Increased to a top-10 holding by Q3 2019 as we gained conviction in the strength of the profit-cycle potential.

Our capital allocation process is designed to build position size according to our conviction. Portfolio holdings develop through three stages: GardenSM, CropSM and HarvestSM. GardenSM investments are situations where we believe we are right, but there is not clear evidence that theprofit cycle has taken hold, so positions are small. CropSM investments are holdings where we have gained conviction in the company’s profit cycle, so positions are larger. HarvestSM investments are holdings that have exceeded our estimate of intrinsic value or holdings where there is adeceleration in the company’s profit cycle. HarvestSM investments are generally being reduced or sold from the portfolios.
