Objective: This concept outline has been prepared to start initial discussions with financial institutions and professional investors that may be
seeking to invest in an infrastructure investment vehicle managed professionally by an investment team with proven track record in
the global international infrastructure space and a thorough understanding of developing economies.
Fund Rationale: Developing countries need to meet basic human development targets including access to water, sanitation, electricity and
transportation; on the other hand, rapid urbanization in emerging markets is calling for expansion of the existing infrastructure, as well
as for the upgrade of infrastructure assets to adequately meet increasing social standards. According to PwC, the geographical shift
in infrastructure spending from West to East has already started and is advancing steadily. Developing economies, most notably
emerging Asia, account for nearly half of all infrastructure spending due to economic growth in China. Forecasted demand is
expected to require investment of at least an additional US$ 1 trillion a year through 2020, solely in developing markets based on
current growth rates. BMEA is seeking to address the World Bank's forecast that traditional sources of funding for infrastructure
investment may become inadequate and aims to provide an alternative liquidity pocket.
Target Markets: BMEA will contribute to the significant funding requirements to implement infrastructure projects principally in Mongolia and other
emerging Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Myanmar and Vietnam. BMEA might potentially encompass other neighboring
countries should it be justified by highly attractive investment opportunities.
Initiators: Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (Luxembourg) S.A. and Liberty Partners.
Investment Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (UK) Limited ("EdRAM*) will act as investment manager ('IM') to BMEA. Liberty Capital
Manager: Management LLC ("Liberty") will act as the sub-advisor to the Investment Manager.
Value BMEA proposes to investors an opportunity to participate in infrastructure projects in the Target Markets based on the involvement of
Proposition: two independent and reputable firms such as the Edmond de Rothschild Group ('EdR') and Liberty. Both firms bring a significant
track record in originating and structuring infrastructure assets. Additionally, Liberty's on the ground presence and their extensive high
level political and commercial network will provide privileged access to deals. This is combined with BMEA's professional investment
skills to select appropriate investment opportunities with appropriate fund returns for a balanced mix of country, commercial and
project risks.
Investment BMEA will seek to create a portfolio in a broad range of infrastructure sectors induding transport, energy, renewables, social, utilities,
Strategy: telecommunications and oil and gas. Investments will be a mix of quasi-equity and debt in greenfield and brownfield projects. BMEA
aims to take participations in 8 to 16 different infrastructure assets.
Fund The Investment Management team of BMEA seeks to combine EdRAM's global expertise in infrastructure funds and name
Management: recognition with Liberty's thorough understanding of the developing market environment in the region. The Investment Management
team will manage BMEA according to the best in class governance principles.
Legal Counsel: Sidley Austin LLP ('Sidley) will act as legal advisor during the structuring phase. Sidley is a leading global law firm with extensive
expertise in structuring and advising investment hinds as well as dealing with investors. They have the relevant expertise to cover all
legal, tax, fiduciary and regulatory issues in the jurisdictions of BMEA. This will ensure the implementation of an optimum
operational, financial and tax efficient structure for the BMEA fund.
Investors: Target anchor investors are Sovereign Wealth Funds and International Finance Institutions with an appetite for the infrastructure
assets located in the Target Markets, as well as other international investors with an ability to take on large ticket sizes.
