r Performance Update
PROJECT KENNEDY
■ Market conditions for the luxury sports car sector continue to remain extremely challenging
for all manufacturers
■ Kennedy continues to perform below budget, on both a wholesale and retail basis
■ Wholesales to date total 1,215 units versus a budget of 1,825 units, prompting Management
to reduce 2010 wholesale budget from 6,000 sales to 5,053. Management are preparing the
business for a potential further reduction to 4,800 units
■ Kennedy continues to underperform not only against budget but also the market

r Capital Requirement
PROJECT KENNEDY
■ Total committed capital of up to £500 million, over 3 years, could be required to fully
implement the strategy. This would include:
— £200 million to acquire the Company's debt
— £300 million to develop the business through capital expenditure
■ The new capital would allow Kennedy to:
— Design and develop new models, re-positioning the Company as the most exclusive
sports car provider
— Repatriation of production of the new Rapide model from Graz in Austria, to the Kennedy
production facility in Gaydon
— Bring the Lagonda model into production, allowing the Company to access new markets,
both sectorally and geographically
— Focus on developing environmental options, especially hybrid
— Expand the dealership network into new, faster growth, emerging markets

opportunity to take full ownership
