Divestments

• Investments remained stable at 46 bn EUR showing a 6% increase from 2010. This figure resembles the investment level of 2005.

Buyout & Growth accounted for 91% of the total amount invested.

• In 2011 more than 4,800 companies received investments in Europe out of which SMEs accounted for 85% with an average

investment per company of 3m EUR. More than 60% of these investments were attribute to Venture Capital.

• The three most targeted sectors by number of companies in 2011 were Life sciences, Computer & consumer electronics and

Communications together accounting for 50% of the total. The stage focus split reveals a sector specificity in case of Venture

Capital (Life sciences, Computer & consumer electronics and Communications) and a more homogeneous distribution for Buyout &

Growth.

• In 2011 overall fundraising increased by 80% to 40 bn EUR compared to the previous year, matching 2001 level. VC contributed to

this trend with its 50% increase compared to 2010. The buyout & growth segment almost grew by 100% compared to 2010 and

attributed for 30 bn EUR. More than half of the buyout amount raised came from pension funds, banks and fund of funds.

• Early-stage fund: A venture capital fund focused on investing in

companies in the early stages of their lives

• Later-stage fund: A venture capital fund focused on investing in

• Growth fund: Funds whose strategy is to invest in or acquire

relatively mature companies that are looking for capital to expand

or restructure operations

• Buyout fund: A fund whose strategy is to acquire other businesses

• Mezzanine fund: A fund that provides (generally subordinated) debt

to facilitate the financing of buyouts, frequently alongside a right to

some of the equity upside

• Generalist fund: a funds with either a stated focus of investing in

all stages of private equity investment, or with a broad area of

investment activity

Type of investors:

• Corporate investor: Corporations that produce products

(manufacturing companies) or deliver non-financial services

• Endowment: An institution that is bestowed money (and possibly

other assets) via a donation with the stipulation to invest it and use

the gains for specific objectives so that the principal remains intact

• Family office: An office that provides services such as investment

management and other services (accounting, tax and financial

advice etc.) to one or several families

• Foundations: A non-profit organisation through which private wealth

is contributed and distributed for public purpose (most often

charitable purposes)

• Fund of funds: A private equity fund that primarily takes equity

positions in other funds

• Other asset manager: Financial institutions (other than bank,

endowment, family office, foundation, insurance company or

pension fund) managing a pool of capital by investing it across asset

classes with the purpose to generate financial returns

• Government agencies: Country, regional, governmental and

European agencies or institutions for innovation and development

(including structures such as the EBRD or EIF)

• Sovereign wealth funds: state-owned investment fund managing a

pool of money derived from a country's reserves

NB: In the following presentation, unclassified figures concerning the type of

investors have been extrapolated.

Independent and captive funds:

• “Captive funds” refers to funds that are 100% owned by the parent

organisation, while “independent funds” relates to semi-captive

funds (those in which the parent owns less than 100%) as well as

wholly independent funds.

Investments

Investments Statistics explained:

• Industry statistics are an aggregation of the figures according to the country of location of the private

equity firm’s office in charge of the deal. At the European level, this relates to investments made by

European private equity firms regardless of the location of the target company.

• Market statistics are an aggregation of the figures according to the location of the portfolio company. At

the European level, this relates to investments in European companies regardless of the location of the

private equity firm.

• Equity value: Stricto sensu, the amount of capital invested to acquire shares in an enterprise. The equity

value includes equity, quasi-equity, mezzanine, unsecured debt and secured debt provided by the firm.

Venture Capital:

• Seed: Financing provided to research, assess and develop an

initial concept before a business has reached the start-up

phase.

• Start-up: Financing provided to companies for product

development and initial marketing. Companies may be in the

process of being set up or may have been in business for a

short time, but not sold their product commercially.

• Later-stage venture: Financing provided for the expansion of

an operating company, which may or may not be breaking

even or trading profitably. Later-stage venture tends to

finance companies already backed by VCs.

Private Equity:

• Growth: A type of private equity investment – most often a

minority investment but not necessarily – in relatively mature

companies that are looking for capital to expand or

restructure operations, enter new markets.

• Rescue/turnaround: Financing made available to an existing

business, which has experienced trading difficulties, with a

view to re-establishing prosperity.

• Replacement capital: The purchase of a minority stake of

existing shares in a company from another private equity firm

or from another shareholder or shareholders.

• Buyout: Financing provided to acquire a company. It may use

a significant amount of borrowed money to meet the cost of

acquisition.

NB: Figures on Buyout & Growth funds also include Replacement

capital and Rescue/turnaround statistics.

Divestments

Divestments Statistics explained:

• Industry statistics are an aggregation of the figures according to the country of location of the private

equity firm’s office in charge of the deal. At the European level, this relates to divestments made by

European private equity firms regardless of the location of the target company

• Market statistics are an aggregation of the figures according to the location of the portfolio company. At

the European level, this relates to divestments of European companies regardless of the location of the

private equity firm

• Divestment amounts are recorded at cost (i.e. the total amount divested is equal to the total amount

invested before)

Glossary – Divestment Stages

| 39

• Divestment by public offering: the sale or distribution of a company’s shares to the public for the first time by listing the

company on the stock exchange, also includes sale of quoted shares after a lock-up period

• Repayment of principal loans: If a private equity firm provided loans or bought preference shares in the company at the time of

investment, then their repayment according to the amortisation schedule represents a decrease of the financial claim of the

firm into the company, and hence a divestment.

• Repayment of silent partnership: A silent partnership belongs to the so-called mezzanine financing instruments. It is similar to

a long-term bank loan but, in contrast to a loan, a silent partnership is subject to a subordination clause, so that in the event of

insolvency all other creditors are paid before the silent partner. The company has to repay the partnership and has to pay

interest and possibly a profit-related compensation. The subordination clause gives the capital the status of equity despite its

loan character. This financing instrument is frequently used in Germany.

• Sale to another private equity house: See sale to financial institution.

• Sale to financial institution: The sale of company shares to banks, insurance companies, pension funds, endowments,

foundations and other asset managers other than private equity firms.

• Trade sale: The sale of company shares to industrial investors.

• Divestment by write-off: The total or partial write-down of a portfolio company’s value to zero or a symbolic amount (sales for

a nominal amount) with the consequent exit from the company or reduction of the share owned. The value of the investment is

eliminated and the return to investors is equal or close to -100%.
