The Macro Opportunity
Increasing Urbanization & Mobility1
The following key attributes are converging to create an increased need for energy infrastructure
Growing Middle Class
Historic underinvestment in Infrastructure
Increasing Urbanization & Mobility
Africa, with only 37.3 % of the population living in urban areas in 1999, and a growth rate of 4.87%, is the continent with the fastest rate of urbanization. In last ten years, urbanization has been growing at an average 4% in Africa and 2.9% in South Asia as compared to World Average of 2.1%
Source: United Nations
Investment is needed in both new and existing infrastructure in almost all growth markets, especially in Sub-Sahara region. Over 65% of the people living in Sub-Sahara Africa do not have access to electricity (World Bank: 2012 figures)
2.8 billion people from growth markets will enter the middle class by 2030. Rising income has a direct correlation with energy consumption resulting in increased need for related energy infrastructure to support the growth
These factors are driving the demand for additional investments in the power generation sector

• Relatively higher target $ IRR of 20-25% to account for the inherent time lag to return on invested capital

Target Platform Size: 3000 MW (Gross) 1000 MW (Net)Investment Criteria
• Majority (51%+), or significant strategic minority (20-49%)equity stake with standard Reserved Matter protectionrights and contractual ability to jointly formulate andoversee the value creation plan
• Min-Max Equity Ticket Size: $10m-$50m• Min-Max Project Size: 100MW-1000 MW (Gross)• Max Number of Investments: 10• Investment Period: 3 Years• Focus on capital growth as opposed to dividend yield. Any

• All underlying assets to be non-recourse debt financedagainst a bankable security package of project documents
• Long-term “economic sustainability” of projects would bea must in the local socio-economic eco-system
• Secured cash flows through long-term PPAs with creditworthy (or enhanced) counter parties and hedging ofcurrency risk, etc.
• Payment delay risk modeled into the base case scenario• Active Investor approach to the underlying project
companies
Type of Transactions1. Lead Developer: OP is the “anchor investor” leveraging our
brand to attract “other investors” at a premium at or prior to financial close
2. Privileged/Proprietary Access: Leverage existing relationship with Governments, EPC, OEM, Sponsors, etc. to provide tailor made solutions (e.g. waste gas to power inKazakhstan; buy out of minority shareholders in Nigeria; LNG to Power in Pakistan, etc.)
3. Equity + Fee-Based Portfolio Management: e.g. O&M and EPC Supervision, Debt & Equity Fund Raising, Financial (Re) Structuring Support, Strategic Advisory Support etc.
Partners & Sponsors• Credible, experienced and reputable local partners to
provide robust support system in host country• For minority positions, “path to liquidity/exit” to be
contractually agreed upfront in the shareholders agreement (including Put Option, where feasible)
• Preference for the other key stakeholders (EPC, OEM, off taker, etc.) to also have some equity “skin in the game”
• Active Investor approach to the underlying project companies e.g. key board committee membership, sign off on the long term business/value creation plan & annual budgets, regular site visits (especially for greenfield assets), etc.

Potential Exit Strategies
Portfolio Exit via Sale to a Strategic / Yield Seeking Investor
Placement / Trade Sale of Individual Projects
Distributing Shares in the Subsidiary Project Companies
Dividend Recapitalization of Projects / Portfolio
Potential Exit Option Illustration
• At the option of specific investors, the Company may consider distributing shares in the subsidiary project companies to such investors who can continue to earn long-term stable dividend stream.
• The distribution can be made either pre or post IPO. Post IPO, the investors will also have an option to sell their individual stake directly through the stock exchange.
• A power portfolio with investments in IPPs in diverse countries and offering a stable dividend yield would command a premium valuation and strong interest from large global power developers and yield-seeking financial investors.
• A track record of stable dividend stream would also solicit strong interest from pension funds / insurance companies that have fixed liabilities and are looking for yield.
• Investments in large projects with operational track record of 2-3 years, attractive dividend stream and strong minority rights/board representation will be an attractive proposition for PE funds and local investors in each market.
• We foresee considerable developments in the capital markets in our Target Region in the next 5-7 years which would offer opportunity for domestic listing of large individual projects.
• Once the individual projects have established a reasonably long operational track record, and also started repaying the senior project debt, a dividend recapitalization exercise can be initiated at the local level.
• Alternatively, the Company can leverage the Portfolio through securitization of its dividend stream.• Due to stable and secured dividend stream, the Company should be able to attract banks /
mezzanine PE funds and other financial institutions to provide such debt capital.
