The European Principal Group – Overview

• In 2005, Oaktree created a specialized team for the unique European opportunity

The European Opportunity

• We believe Europe will see a “wave of restructurings” in the next five years− Estimated €1 trillion of leveraged loans outstanding − Significant need for both debt-for-equity conversions and new money − The most attractive situations (at the biggest discounts) will require both operational and balance sheet restructuring

• Restructurings expected to be driven by numerous factors working in concert, many of which have been building for a long time− Low-cost Asian manufacturing sophistication and capacity is increasing− Changes in retail landscape (pre-crisis) and consumer behavior (post-crisis) is shifting retailers’ influence − Volatility of input prices and exchange rates− Global nature of markets and suppliers

• As Europe is not cost-competitive on a global basis, significant business model changes are required to respond to globalization

The European Opportunity (continued)

• Company-level strategic and operational changes must be executed in the face of unprecedented levels of leverage and a coming wave of amortization

− Decade-long period of easy access to capital and low borrowing costs deferred the need to restructure

− Companies currently unable to implement strategic decisions given leverage and high cost of restructuring in Europe

• We believe the best opportunities for distress-for-control and new money restructurings are yet to come

− In contrast to U S banks European banks still hold the majority of leveraged loans as they lack selling mentality andIn contrast to U.S. banks, European banks still hold the majority of leveraged loans as they lack selling mentality and infrastructure

− Banks often did not sell syndicated leveraged loans and cannot sell bilateral loan exposures

− Leveraged capital structures used more senior debt than in U.S.Leveraged capital structures used more senior debt than in U.S.

The European Opportunity (continued)

€800 billion - €1 trillion of senior leveraged loans

Bilateral Loans

• Traditional financing for middle market companies

Syndicated Leveraged Loans

• Traditional financing for middle-market companies

• Direct relationship between borrower and lender

• Documentation resembles a corporate loan

• Typically, banks cannot sell without borrower consent

• €450 - €500 billion in total size

• Underwriting bank disintermediates relationship between borrower and lender(s)

• Developed in London from 2004 to 2008yp ca y, ba s ca ot se w t out bo owe co se t

• Development of syndicated loan market pushed bilateral market to underwrite increased risk

• Traditional banks own 100% of the debt in the bilateral market

• Limited protection offered to unsecured creditors in Europe means there is significantly more senior debt in a typical capital structure compared to U.S.

• Banks own 60% - 80% of syndicated leveraged loans

• Limited selling by banks in fourth quarter 2008 and in 2009

OAKTREE U.S. HIGH YIELD BOND MANAGEMENTOAKTREE EUROPEAN PRINCIPAL FUND III, L.P.

Bilateral Loan Market

• Bilateral leveraged loan market is likely to be similar in size to syndicated leveraged loan market− Traditional channel with very little transparency; cannot apply database approach− Dominated by family-controlled companies or subsidiaries of larger corporations− Difficult to access

• As banks have the ability to defer losses on bilateral loans, situations only materialize after several years of under performance− Catalyst is the need for liquidity or belief that there is permanent impairment

• Frequently banks cannot sell loans without borrower’s consent

S d th h l ti hi ith b k d i t t ti• Sourced through our relationships with banks and proprietary transactions

Page 15: oaktree european principal fund iii, l.p.

OAKTREE U.S. HIGH YIELD BOND MANAGEMENTOAKTREE EUROPEAN PRINCIPAL FUND III, L.P.

European Banks

• Pressure on banks to address troubled credits will continue to increase− Troubled leveraged loans and bilateral loans restrict bank’s ability to deploy new capital− Increasing regulation and requirement of transparency

M b i i d b i i di li• Many borrowers are not amortizing debt or improving credit quality− Demand remains below 2007 peak levels− Interest costs were swapped at the time of borrowing− Capital expenditures and working capital need to be fundedCapital expenditures and working capital need to be funded− Borrowers unable to restructure low-margin operations due to high cash cost and significant amount of leverage− End of government subsidy programs

• Precedent suggests that banks will resist the need to restructure debt and to crystallize losses for as long as possible− Stress tests and Basel III have been watered down

• Banks in Europe are liquidity constrained p q y− A significant amount of debt issued by major European banks is due in the next three years

European Investment Approach

• EPG pursues several types of control investing• EPG pursues several types of control investing− Distress-for-control− New-money restructurings− Hybrid transactions − Special situation private equity

• For most transactions, the unifying theme is a significant element of distress and/or industry dislocation− Forced sellers of debt or equity; distressed process; liquidity crisis; covenant or payment default; bankruptcy orForced sellers of debt or equity; distressed process; liquidity crisis; covenant or payment default; bankruptcy or

insolvency; failed capital raising or failed sale− Private equity in industries where longer-term trends have ‘structurally’ altered profitability

• Cause of distress can vary significantlyy g y− Capital markets- or liquidity-driven− Cyclical industry or an industry subject to raw material price fluctuations− Structural industry-level trends− Company-specific underperformance − Instability among equity or debt holders

OAKTREE U.S. HIGH YIELD BOND MANAGEMENTOAKTREE EUROPEAN PRINCIPAL FUND III, L.P.

Flexible Approach

EPG i d d b k lli h i d b l di• EPG strategy is not dependent on banks selling their debt at large discounts− Positioned to take advantage of inevitable de-leveraging in response to either broad-based capital

market pressure or a more gradual company-by-company approach− New money offers a lower creation value (versus debt purchases)y ( p )

• Focus on situations in which restructuring is driven by the need for liquidity/new money− Liquidity is the primary catalyst for stakeholders to pursue a permanent solution

Gi en recent press res banks generall do not ha e the abilit to contrib te ne mone (especiall eq it ) to− Given recent pressures, banks generally do not have the ability to contribute new money (especially equity) to finance operational restructurings

− Banks do not have the resources required to manage restructurings or to own businesses

Oth t l t f t t i i l d• Other catalysts for restructuring include:− Distrust or disinterest from existing owner− Management’s frustration with excessive leverage and inability to influence restructuring process− CLOs own a significant portion of syndicated leveraged loans and are leveraged on average at over 10x1CLOs own a significant portion of syndicated leveraged loans and are leveraged on average at over 10x1

50% of CLOs show little or no commitment to the business1

Flexible Approach (continued)

• EPG positioned as the complete solution provider with the ability to:

− Buy debt from banks that want to sell AND/OR to invest new money (as debt or equity) to support banks that remain in the credit

D l i / i l l i d b b l h / l l i− Develop a strategic/operational solution supported by a balance sheet/structural solution

− Augment/replace the management team and/or equity owner (frequently the parties responsible for the distress)

• First companies within an industry to de-leverage have significant advantagesp y g g g

− Liquidity needed to implement strategic decisions

− Complexity of European restructurings becomes an advantage for companies which are first to restructure

European Principal Group Advantages

EPG i i d id h b d f l i di d l d i i• EPG positioned to provide the broadest set of solutions to distressed related situations

− Positioned as new money provider and sponsor of the restructuring

− Existing stakeholders do not have the resources to provide both new funds for balance sheet restructuring and to l d th ti l/ t t i t t i f th d l i b ilead the operational/strategic restructuring for the underlying business

− Negotiations must involve multiple stakeholders including many who are not invested in the capital structure

− Industrial plan, which optimizes value of company, is often the key to achieve credibility with all parties

− From bank’s perspective, proposed transaction should (i) minimize write-down, (ii) preserve upside and (iii) protect reputation

− EPG will often invest in multiple parts of the capital structure

The investment-level IRR is the return that

equates the present value of all capital invested in an investment to the present value of all returns of capital, or the discount rate that will provide a net present value of all cash flows equal to zero. Gross investment-level IRRs reflect returns on an investment-by-investment basis before allocation of the management fee general fund expenses income earned on cash and cash equivalents andGross investment-level IRRs reflect returns on an investment-by-investment basis before allocation of the management fee, general fund expenses, income earned on cash and cash equivalents, and any carried interest to the general partners, but after any direct investment expenses and profit allocations to third parties. Because the carried interest allocated to the general partners is not calculated on an investment-by-investment basis, but on an aggregate fund-by-fund basis only, comparable after-fee IRRs on an investment-by-investment basis are not available. The net IRR is presented on a fund-level basis and reflects the actual timing of cash contributions from and distributions to the limited partners and the net asset value of the limited partners’ capital accounts, derived using a valuation methodology at the end of the period, after allocation of management fees, general fund expenses and any carried interest to the general partners.

6 Total Value as Multiple of Invested Capital represents total profit generated at the investment level as a multiple of invested capital. While this metric is similar to Total Value as Multiple of Cost, it is based on investment-level performance (as opposed to fund-level performance), is calculated before fees, expenses and any incentive allocation or carried interest and includes recycled capital. It is typically used for private equity funds that have a smaller number of core investments, which is why it is being provided for the European Principal Funds.

Transaction Overview

• In early 2008, the collapse of Northern Rock adversely impacted the U.K. mortgage market and, consequently, the number and value of housing transactions, resulting in a precipitous decline in Countrywide’s earnings

– From August 2007 to August 2008, transaction volume fell by 72% and average prices fell by 13%– Countrywide’s run-rate EBITDA was negative by year-end

• Beginning in 3Q08 EPOF II began accumulating a significant position in the company’s super senior revolver and• Beginning in 3Q08, EPOF II began accumulating a significant position in the company s super-senior revolver and secured floating rate notes (“FRNs”) at discounted prices, ultimately becoming the largest debt holder

• Subsequently, we negotiated a restructuring with the sponsor in which EPOF II would become Countrywide’s largest shareholder, and the company’s debt would be reduced significantly

• Simultaneous with the closing of the restructuring, the company completed an equity offering at the same valuation, 87.5% of which was offered to FRN holders with the remainder offered to unsecured note holders

• As a result of the foregoing, EPOF II became the company’s largest shareholder, with a 32% equity stake, and remained the largest debt holder with 31% of the new notesthe largest debt holder, with 31% of the new notes

based on this ownership, creation value (i.e. the enterprise value required in order for epof ii to recover its invested cost) is only one-fifth of the

valuation methodology

acquisition price as the best indicator of fair value. Valuations will depend on facts and circumstances known as of the valuation date and the application of certain valuation methodologies, pursuant to which the General Partner will generally seek to establish the market value of the portfolio investment using one or a combination of income capitalization and sales comparison approaches. These approaches take into account specific financial measures (such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net income, book value or net asset value) believed to be most relevant for the given investment. Consideration may also be given to such factors as the acquisition price of the security, discounted cash flow valuations, historical and projected operational and financial results for the portfolio company the

For purposes of all performance data set forth in this presentation, securities or instruments for which reliable market quotations were not available (including securities or instruments having a public market price that Oaktree determined did not fairly represent the fair value of such securities or instruments), were valued at their “fair value” as determined in the sole discretion of Oaktree, taking into account all factors, information, and data deemed to be pertinent, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. GAAP requires that a “fair value” be assigned to all assets and establishes a single authoritative

historical and projected operational and financial results for the portfolio company, the strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio company relative to market comparables, valuations of comparable companies, industry trends, general economic and market conditions and other factors deemed relevant.

The valuation of a portfolio company’s securities may be impacted by expectations of investors’ receptiveness to a public offering of the portfolio company’s securities, the size of the holding of the portfolio company’s securities and any associated control, information with requires that a fair value be assigned to all assets and establishes a single authoritative

definition of fair value that includes a framework for measuring fair value and enhanced disclosures about fair value that includes measurements. The hierarchal disclosure framework prioritizes the inputs used in measuring investments at fair value into three levels based on their market price observability. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available quoted prices from an active market or for which fair value can be measured based on actively quoted prices generally will have

hi h d f k t i b bilit d l d f j d t i h t i

respect to transactions or offers for the portfolio company’s securities (including the transaction pursuant to which the investment was made and the period of time elapsed from the date of the investment to the valuation date) and applicable restrictions on the transferability of the portfolio company’s securities.

These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judgment. Accordingly, valuations by the General Partner do not necessarily represent the amounts which may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments. Estimated fair a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in

measuring fair value.

Securities listed on one or more national securities exchanges are valued at their last reported sales price on the date of valuation. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the security is valued at the mean of the last “bid” and “ask” prices on the valuation date. Securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange are valued at a price equal to either (a) in the case of any security designated as a National Market System Security

y y pvalues may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be material to the financial statements.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

• Level I – Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the General Partner has access at the date of measurement.

Securities that are not marketable due to legal restrictions that may limit or restrict transferability are generally valued at a discount from quoted market prices, as determined by the General Partner.

Performance Information and Disclosures (continued)

identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable. Level II inputs include prices in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers, as well as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates.

No benchmarks are presented in this presentation, as Oaktree is not aware of any benchmarks that, in Oaktree’s opinion, provide a basis for measuring the performance of the relevant funds, particularly in light of the managers’ investment philosophy, strategy and implementation.

• Level III – Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the General Partner’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use to price the investment based on the best available information.

In some instances, inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such instances, the investment’s level within the fair value y ,hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the value measurement. The General Partner’s assessment of the significance of an input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

use of case studies

Performance Information and Disclosures (continued)

The case study presented in this brochure relates to an investment made by OCM European Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“EPOF II”). The EPOF II investment that is the subject of the case study was selected because it is an illustrative example of a recent restructuring transaction in one of the core markets for the strategy. In addition, this particular investment is one which illustrates the full range of capabilities of the European Principal Group and how it approaches a complex opportunity. The investment presented in the case study, however, may be more favorable than other investments made by EPOF II and OCM European Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P. (together the “European Principal Funds”). Additionally, the investment presented in the case study may be more favorable than, and not representative of, all the investments that may be made by the Fund. If you would like additional information regarding any other investment of the European Principal Funds not presented here, please contact Oaktree. The purpose of the case study is intended to give the recipient of this brochure a general understanding of the range of Oaktree’s European Principal Group strategy, as well as an understanding of the amounts invested in the selected investment. As a result, the caseunderstanding of the amounts invested in the selected investment. As a result, the case study is not intended to be, and should not be read as, a full and complete description of the investment transaction underlying the case study. If the recipient would like additional details regarding the case study, please contact Oaktree. Further, for a listing of all control investments made by the European Principal Funds and the related returns as of September 30, 2010, see page 20 of this brochure.

The case study is provided for informational purposes only. Neither Oaktree nor its affiliates make any representation and it should not be assumed that past investmentaffiliates make any representation, and it should not be assumed, that past investment performance is an indication of future returns, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to earn the rates of return indicated in the case study.

Legal Information and Disclosures

investment should only be made after consultation with independent qualified sources of investment and tax advice. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

investments

The Fund will invest in securities and obligations that entail substantial risk, including investments in private or public equity interests and debt securities, options, short sales,

Many factors affect the appeal and availability of investments in companies that are the focus of the Fund. Although Oaktree sees changes in these factors indicating a trend towards increased opportunities and value creation, there can be no assurance that such changes will continue. In addition, legal and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Fund that may adversely affect the Fund.

risks in effecting operating improvementshigh yield and preferred securities, and other obligations such as bank loans and participations. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investments will increase in value, that the Fund will not incur significant losses or that the objectives of the Fund will be achieved. In addition, the Fund’s investments may result in the Fund incurring significant costs, fees and expenses, including legal, advisory and consulting fees and expenses, costs of regulatory compliance and costs of defending third-party litigation.

unspecified use of proceeds

In some cases, the success of the Fund’s investment strategy will depend, in part, on the ability of the Fund to restructure and effect improvements in the operations of a portfolio company. The activity of identifying and implementing restructuring programs and operating improvements at portfolio companies entails a high degree of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to successfully identify and implement such restructuring programs and improvements.

illiquidity u u

Investors in the Fund will not have an opportunity to evaluate for themselves the relevant economic, financial and other information regarding the investments by the Fund. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be successful in obtaining suitable investments or that, if the investments are made, the objectives of the Fund will be achieved.

lack of diversification

The F nd ma in est p to the greater of €600 million or 20% of Capital Commitments

illiquidity

Participation in the Fund will generally be an illiquid investment. Investors will not be permitted to withdraw from the Fund and may only in limited circumstances transfer their interests in the Fund. Furthermore, a significant portion of the Fund’s assets may consist of illiquid securities or securities which are restricted as to their transferability. This factor may limit the ability of the Fund to sell such securities at their fair market value.

options and short salesThe Fund may invest up to the greater of €600 million or 20% of Capital Commitments based on cost in any one portfolio company and will be under no other obligation to further diversify its investments. Accordingly, the investment portfolio of the Fund may be subject to more rapid changes in value than would be the case if the Fund were required to maintain a wide diversification among companies, industries, and types of securities.

foreign investments

options and short sales

The Fund may purchase and sell covered and uncovered put and call options. There can be no assurance that the price movements of the securities underlying such options will not result in significant losses to the Fund. Further, the Fund may sell securities short for the purpose of hedging an existing investment of the Fund. A short sale involves the risk of a theoretically unlimited loss from a theoretically unlimited gain in the market price of the security sold short. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to purchase the securities necessary to cover a short position.

The Fund may invest in entities operating and/or organized in a variety of countries. Such investments will involve special risks including the risk of nationalization of assets, currency exchange rate fluctuations, higher rates of inflation, controls on foreign investment, limitations on repatriation of capital, differences in auditing and financial reporting standards and limited due diligence review. Additionally, there may be economic risks associated with such investments as well as the risk of potential political, social and diplomatic changes within such countries. These risks may increase expenses of the Fund, adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments and adversely impact the

no right to control the fund’s operations

Limited Partners will have no opportunity to control the day-to-day operations of the Fund, including investment and disposition decisions. In order to safeguard their limited liability for the liabilities and obligations of the Fund, Limited Partners must rely entirely on the General Partner to conduct and manage the affairs of the Fund.

need to comply with the qualifying income requirement. Oaktree also has long term relationships with companies, individuals and investors that may influence the decisions made by it on behalf of the Fund.

Certain of the Fund’s investments may require additional financing to satisfy working capital needs or acquisition strategies and may have to raise capital at a price unfavorable to the Fund.

Furthermore, even if Limited Partners are entitled to treaty benefits, withholding taxes may still be deducted by the payers of income, with a material time delay before refunds of such withholding taxes can be obtained from the relevant taxing authority. In addition, changes in the tax laws or tax t ti ( th i i t t ti ) f th t i i hi h th F d i t l

The Fund may provide bridge financing in connection with one or more of its equity investments. The Fund will bear the risk of any changes in capital markets, which may adversely affect the ability of a portfolio company to refinance any bridge investments. If the portfolio company were unable to complete a refinancing, the Fund could have a long-term investment in a junior security or that junior security might be converted to equity.

treaties (or their interpretation) of the countries in which the Fund invests may severely and adversely affect the Fund’s ability to efficiently realize income or capital gains and may subject the Fund and/or the Limited Partners to tax and return filing obligations in such countries.

The Fund may make investments that could require substantial workout negotiations or restructuring in the event of a default or bankruptcy, which could entail significant risks, time commitments and costs.

leverage

The Fund’s investments are expected to include companies whose capital structures may have significant leverage Such investments are inherently more sensitive than others to

acquire material, non-public information or be restricted from initiating transactions in certain securities. The Fund will not be free to act upon any such information and may not be able to initiate transactions that it otherwise might have initiated.

Such investments are inherently more sensitive than others to

declines in revenues and to increases in expenses and interest rates.

potential conflicts of interest

Oaktree and its affiliates manage other investments, funds, and accounts which present the possibility of overlapping investments, and thus the potential for conflicts of interest with the Fund. In addition, in May 2007, the indirect parent of the General Partner, Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (“OCG”), became a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning

contingent liabilities on disposition of investments

The Fund may be required to indemnify the purchasers of the investments it sells. In that regard, Limited Partners may be required to return amounts distributed to them to fund the Fund’s indemnity obligations.

Capital Group, LLC ( OCG ), became a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of section 7704(b) of the Code. As a result, at least 90% of OCG’s gross income for every taxable year must consist of “qualifying income” as defined in section 7704 of the Code in order for OCG to avoid being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is possible that the General Partner may cause the Fund to make investments

regulatory risks

In recent years, market disruptions and the dramatic increase in the capital allocated to alternative investment strategies have led to increased governmental as well as self-regulatory scrutiny of the alternative investment fund industry in general, and certain l i l i i l i f h i d i di ll i id d b hlegislation proposing greater regulation of the industry periodically is considered by the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the governing bodies of non-U.S. jurisdictions. It is impossible to predict what, if any, changes in the regulations applicable to the Fund, the general partner, Oaktree, the markets in which they trade and invest or the counterparties with which they do business may be instituted in the future. The effect of any future regulatory change could be substantial and adverse.

institutional risk

The institutions, including brokerage firms and banks, with which the Fund directly or indirectly will do business (including swap counterparties), or to which securities will be entrusted for custodial and prime brokerage purposes, may encounter financial difficulties, fail or otherwise become unable to meet their obligations. In light of recent market turmoil and overall weakening of the financial services industry, the Fund, its prime broker(s) and other financial institutions' financial condition may be adversely affected and they may become subject to legal, regulatory, reputational or other unforeseen risks that could have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of the Fund.
