Private real estate lending is a $1.5 trillion market, dominated by

banks and private lenders.

• Banks - policies and regulations make borrowing harder,

and the associated pace can often hinders deals

• Hard Money Lenders – Small, obscure, private lenders

have historically been the predominate provider of

capital to the small and mid-sized borrowers

Real Estate online marketplaces are a welcome funding solution

• More efficient underwriting than traditional banks

• Consistent, standardized, and repeatable quantitative underwriting

• Quick responses and Decision Making enabled

• Borrower friendly

Prime Meridian’s litigation finance investment objective is to invest in lawsuits that have strong legal merit, plaintiff’s lawyers with a successful track record, and defendant creditworthiness. These three factors help ensure the highest probability of winning the case and the defendant paying the settlement.

Litigation finance is a specialized alternative fixed income asset class Litigation finance is the practice of a third-party unrelated to a lawsuit typically entering into a contractual

agreement with either the plaintiff in the lawsuit or a contractual agreement with the plaintiff’s attorney. A third-party investor’s agreement with a plaintiff provides a non-recourse upfront payment in exchange for a

meaningful return to the investor; an agreement with the plaintiff’s attorney is typically a loan structure The third-party investor’s financial return for an investment in the plaintiff can result in multiple forms including 1)

a flat fee, 2) a percentage of the amount recovered in the lawsuit, 3) a set payment amount that is typically a multiple of the advance

The third-party investor’s financial return for an investment with the plaintiff’s attorney is typically in the form of a loan with high yielding interest terms.

There are typically two main types of lawsuits for potential investment: Tort lawsuits: These lawsuits are mainly lawsuits filed by individuals for personal injury, negligence, and

accidents Commercial lawsuits: These lawsuits are typically filed between two businesses for claimed breach of

contract and intellectual property disputes

Prime Meridian’s life settlements investment objective is to invest in a diverse group of policies that correctly assess the insured’s remaining life expectancy and ensure the policy’s specific provisions dictate accurate payouts to the fund.

Life insurance-based investments are typically structured as either a loan to the policy owner or as an outright purchase of the policy

In both cases, the investor is obligated to pay ongoing policy premiums in return for receiving a return of the death benefit at maturity

The investor will receive some of the death benefits with loans and all of the benefit with an outright purchase
