SIF III: Management Structure
4
Overview
Background
Siam Investment Fund III L.P. (SIF III) is a successor fund to Siam Investment Fund II L.P. (SIF II) which
is approaching full investment. SIF II was launched in 2000, raising US$57m .
Objective
To provide investors with access to the exceptional returns available through timely, opportunistic
investment in selective private equity transactions in Thailand.
Investment
Economy in Transition: Past - Coping with crisis. Present – Cyclical recovery. Future – Structural growth.
Thesis
Resurgent Business Confidence: A revival in business optimism is spurring a revival in corporate
transaction activity and expansion.
Restructuring/Rehabilitation to Continue: An improving economy facilitates the resolution of residual
business problems.
Improving “Exit” Environment: Better capital markets, both for listing and refinancing, and growing
demand from local investors for rehabilitated assets.
Why SIF III?
Successful Track Record: SIF II and its predecessor, SIF, have exceptional records of both making and
exiting private equity investments in Thailand over the past seven years.
Sponsors are Investors: The Sponsors intend to be material investors in the Fund. Finansa Fund
Management will commit US$10m and CZI anticipates US$10m.
Value Addition: The Finansa Group has the critical mass of resources locally to support deal flow,
monitoring and exits.
Single Country Approach: The success of the Funds launched to date is due to the depth of the incountry resources. Comparable resources are not available on a regional basis.

Section C
Fund Concept
Fund Concept
Thailand is enjoying a structural and cyclical economic recovery which will underpin overall
investment returns.

The Thai economy has staged a strong recovery since the Asia crisis and is currently one of the fastest growing
economies in Asia.

Growth has been spurred by government policies to stimulate domestic demand and by buoyancy in exports.

The election of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and a majority Thai Rak Thai Party Government in 2001 was
a seminal event. The Thai Rak Thai Party was re-elected in February 2005 with an increased majority.

Thailand currently enjoys significant surpluses on its current account and a strong fiscal position.

Interest rates are expected to remain subdued in the absence of inflationary pressure.

There has been a material improvement in the financial health of the banking system. Banks are shifting
management focus from “old” to “new” loans.

Improvements in (overall) corporate profitability have been driven by cost cutting, improved productivity and
(more recently) volume growth.

In the area of Private Investment, few sectors (notably construction) have rebounded. The investment recovery
now looks set to broaden.
10
Fund Concept (cont.)
An economy in transition

1998-2004 was a period of post-crisis adjustment and recovery. Business confidence was fragile, the banking
system weak and reforms were necessary to spur restructuring and rehabilitation. Business owners/managers
focused on survival.

Today, business confidence is strong, the banking system is functioning to the extent that new loan activity is
picking up, capital markets are strong and businesses are looking to expand.

Longer term growth will be sustained by structural reforms and a substantial commitment from government to
invest in Thailand’s infrastructure.
Investment opportunities in the next phase of Thailand’s growth

Thailand “today” offers investment opportunities both in the final “clean up” and in the next stage of the
country’s growth.

Business restructuring will continue to be a feature of the Thai investment environment. A stronger economy
and higher asset valuations facilitate the resolution of “old” problems. Many early restructurings were temporary
remedies.

A period of sustained economic growth will underpin equity returns and valuations.

The exit environment has improved. Better capital markets enhance prospects both for listing and refinancing,
while there is growing demand from local investors for rehabilitated assets.

Fund Strategy
Siam Investment Fund III L.P. will seek to provide investors with high returns through leveraging the expertise, experience and
business relationships of the advisors to source and effect investments in assets perceived as offering significant upside
potential. These assets will likely include:

Negotiated placements of new shares as part of the financial restructuring of businesses

Negotiated placements of new shares or equity related instruments to fund business expansion

Management Buyouts

Strategic disinvestments

Minority interests

Partnership capital

Assets offering scope for rehabilitation and transfer to a Property Fund
13
Example 1: Pranda Jewelry Plc.

Pranda Jewelry is Thailand’s leading integrated jewelry
manufacturer and exporter.

The Company was founded in 1972 and listed on the SET in
1990


The Company encountered severe financial difficulties in the
wake of the Baht devaluation in 1997, hit by a combination
of exposure to foreign currency loans, a drop in demand and
excessive inventory levels.
Subsequently, the Company entered a lengthy restructuring
process with debt rescheduling and debt write-offs. As part
of this, creditors pressed for an increase in share capital.

In June 2001, SIF II bought 5 million shares of Pranda through
a private placement at Bt28 per share. This represented a
25% interest. The total investment was Bt140m (US$3m).

The Company has meanwhile pursued an internal
reorganisation and renewed focus on its core strengths.

Earnings have staged a strong recovery, reflected in a
significant recovery in the share price.

The Fund began liquidating its investment in February 2003.

Investor IRR 135.8%, Gain US$8.9m, 3.6x Invested Capital.
14
Example 2: The Peace Canning (1958) Co., Ltd.

Peace Canning, the country’s leading manufacturer of canned
pickled vegetables, filed for bankruptcy in 2001.

In 2002, SIF II acquired Peace Canning’s combined debts of
Bt3,000m (US$72m) from creditors for a cash consideration of
Bt520m (US$12m). SIF II became the sole creditor and took
control of the bankruptcy process.




In the end, SIF II received a) cash of Bt520m (US$12m)
through debt refinancing, corresponding to its original
investment and b) retained an 80% stake in the Company.

SIF II, jointly with Peace Canning, submitted a debt composition
request to the Bankruptcy Court and this was approved.
Peace Canning has projected sales of Bt1,000mn
(US$25m) in 2006 and projected net earnings of Bt60m
(US$3m). The Company is planning to list on the SET in
late 2006, early 2007.

SIF II reduced the debt outstanding to Bt520m (US$12m) and
swapped the balance into an 80% equity stake in the company.
On a preliminary P/E valuation of 8.0x, the SIF II’s stake
will be worth Bt360mn (US$9mn).

Unrealized IRR 25.5%, Value: US$6.8m, 1.5x Invested
Capital.
In 2003, the Fund Advisor negotiated a 7–year term loan (MLR 2%) with a financial institution for Bt520m (US$12m) to refinance
the outstanding debts.
15
Example 3: Sansiri Plc.

Sansiri, a listed real estate development company, was one
of the first companies to complete a restructuring. In 1999,
Starwood Capital joined as a strategic partner. Holding 7%
of the equity initially, Starwood had an option to increase its
stake to 51% through a warrant exercisable at Bt5.

In August 02, SIF II subscribed to Sansiri’s Bt2,520m (US$60m)
capital raising at Bt4.41 per share. This capital represented
67.7% of the new equity base. At the same time, the warrant
option arrangement with Starwood was terminated. The
subscription price implied a P/BV of 1.2x.

During 2002, Sansiri shares traded as low as Bt3. With little
prospect of Starwood exercising its warrant, the Company
was unable to operate satisfactorily. Management identified
both the need for new capital and the need to cancel the
warrant. Canceling the warrant was critical to the proposed
recapitalization.

The fundraising transformed the Company’s prospects, allowing
it to proceed with a series of new housing projects at a time
when housing demand was increasing rapidly. Sansiri is now
recognised as a leading housing developer.

Following the private placement, there was a substantial rerating of Sansiri shares. Currently, the share price is Bt16.3.

Investor IRR 108.4%, Gain US$4.7m, 1.9x Invested Capital.
16
Example 4: F&B Food Service (Thailand) Ltd.

F&B Food Service is a full-line food distribution company targeting
the hotels and restaurants segment. Established in 1999 by the
Booker Group, the business was acquired by Royal Ahold in 2002. In
2003, Royal Ahold took a strategic decision in 2003 to withdraw from
the Thai market.

In October 2003, SIF II acquired a 76% stake in the Company and an
existing shareholder loan for a combined Bt90m (US$2.3m) and
committed to management to invest a further Bt160m (US$4.0m) on
expanding the business into a national franchise. Management was
gifted a 24% stake.

In June 2006, management control was transferred to the
management of Peace Canning and a plan devised to sell the F&B
business to Peace Canning. At this point in time, the Fund’s stake in
F&B is 100%.

At the date of acquisition, F&B operated three
warehouses (Bangkok, Laem Chabang and Had
Yai). Three new warehouses will be added in 2004
(Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and Bangkok II). The
expansion will establish F&B as the leading
company in this rapidly expanding business
segment.

The intention is to exit the investment through
refinancing the shareholder loan and swapping
shares with Peace Canning, which aims to list in
late 2006, early 2007.

SIF II has board representation.
17
Example 5: Siam Paper Public Company Limited



Siam Paper was incorporated in 1967 to manufacture printing and
writing paper. IN 1995, the Company initiated a major expansion
project (PM#A-One), designed to extend the product range to
include coated papers and non-carbon required papers.
At the time of the 1997 financial crisis, the PM#A-One project was
85% complete, however the project was halted due to a lack a
curtailment in financing. The ongoing operations were unable to
sustain the Company and Siam Paper entered debt restructuring.
At the time, total debts were c.Bt9bn Under the rehabilitation plan,
debts were reduced to c.Bt3.5bn and refinanced by Krungthai
Bank.

In October, 2004, SIF II invested Bt350m through a
private placement of 52m shares, to hold a 13.1%
stake in the Company.

An IPO is planned as and when the PMA#-One project
begins operations (raising capacity from 22,000 tpa. to
c.120,000 tpa.)

The test run of PMA#-One took place in September
2005.

As part of the investment agreement, the family
shareholders of Siam paper have agreed to a minimum
return guarantee whereby shares from the family are
transferred to the Fund in the event that the return is
below 50% p.a..

SIF II has board representation.
As part of the rehabilitation plan, the Company was obliged to raise
Bt1bn in new equity through a private placement and/or public
offering..
18
Example 6: TISCO Finance Plc.

TISCO Finance is a leading, listed Thai consumer finance company,
with a strong position in auto finance. The economic collapse in 1997
resulted in a surge in the company’s non-performing loans and the
need for a balance sheet restructuring.

In May 1999, under a government sponsored recapitalisation
scheme, TISCO issued 600m new convertible preference shares at
Bt10, raising Bt6,000m (US$150m). Half of the new shares were
acquired by the Ministry of Finance and half acquired by private
sector investors. This increased the total number of shares in issue
to 700m. The private investors also received a covered warrant (on
the MoF’s holding).

A consortium led by Finansa and including SIF and China
Development and Industrial Bank acquired the private sector
allocation. A representative of Finansa was appointed to the TISCO
board.

The case for reviving TISCO was strong and the
successful recapitalisation allowed the company to
participate in the subsequent industry revival (with
fewer competitors). TISCO’s earnings have
enjoyed a sustained increase since the
refinancing.

The market was quick to recognise the
transformation in TISCO’s position and prospects
and the shares enjoyed a dramatic rerating.
19
Example 7: Other Investments

In April 1998, SIF acquired a 18% equity interest in SEEducation (SE-ED), a listed book wholesaler and retailer
with a total investment of US$2.1m

SE-ED had been damaged in the economic crisis, as had
many of its competitors. The capital injection by SIF
enabled the Company to quickly establish itself as the
market leader and management embarked on an
aggressive expansion plan which resulted in SE-ED
opening retail outlets in all of Thailand’s 72 provinces. A
strategic tie-up with the rapidly expanding hypermarket
industry further strengthened SE-ED’s market position.

SE-ED’s revenues and earnings grew strongly after the
recapitalisation, contributing to a significant appreciation in
the Company’s shareprice.

The investment was liquidated through sales on the
stockmarket.

Between 1997 and 1999, SIF invested US$5.3m in a 14%
stake in Nation Mulltimedia (NMG), the listed publishing
and media group. The investment was made through
private placements of new equity and rights issues.

NMG encountered sever financial difficulties in the wake
of the 1997 economic crisis, compounded by an ill-judged
investment in a real estate project.

While provisioning against losses, the Company
expanded its media reach (into television) and exploited a
strong recovery in advertising spending.

For a brief period in late 1999, following the merger of
AOL and Time Warner, the shares enjoyed a dramatic
“.com” rerating and while the shareprice bubble eventually
burst, SIF’s overall investment return, based on a gradual
unwinding of the position from 2000 onwards remained
strong.
