Strictly Private1 & Confidential
2013 Annual Review | Trilantic Capital Partners – Fund IV Europe
Trilantic Capital Partners (Trilantic) is a global
private equity firm focused on control and significant
minority investments in Western Europe and North
America. Trilantic employs flexible transaction
structures and has a strong heritage of partnering
with family-owned businesses as well as providing
growth capital to outstanding management teams.
Trilantic is differentiated from its competition by the
firm’s history of disciplined, successful investing, its
demonstrated capability to supply flexible and growth
capital and to be true partners with the management
of its portfolio companies. The firm often applies a
“buy in” not “buy out” approach and is determined
to deliver value both to our Limited Partners and
the management teams that we support. Currently,
Western Europe investments are primarily targeted in
the following industry sectors: consumer & leisure,
industrials, TMT, healthcare and business services
while North America investments are primarily
targeted in the following industry sectors: business
services, consumer, energy and financial services.
Trilantic was formed in 2009 by five founding
partners, all of whom worked together at Lehman
Brothers Merchant Banking (LBMB). At LBMB,
the firm’s principals created a strong track record
of investing in and building first-class businesses,
and established LBMB as a partner of choice for
management teams, entrepreneurs and familyowned companies, a reputation further developed at
Trilantic. Trilantic acquired LBMB from the estate
of Lehman Brothers with the support of Reinet
Investments S.C.A., an investment vehicle listed
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which made
a minority economic investment in connection with
the transaction. Trilantic Europe and Trilantic North
America currently manage four institutional private
equity funds with aggregate capital commitments of
$6.0 billion.

2013 Annual Review | Trilantic Capital Partners – Fund IV Europe
Letter from the Chairman
Despite high levels of volatility and economic contraction,
Fund IV Europe is performing very well:
• Total investment MOIC stands at 1.7x with a gross IRR of
23.1% as of December 2013
• The fund has realized €189mm in three transactions
representing a 2.7x multiple of the realized invested capital
and returning 35% of total contributed capital to our
investors
• The returns have been achieved with low leverage (2.6x
EBITDA average at entry and 1.6x for the current portfolio
as of December 2013)
Dear Investor,
During 2013, the European economy has experienced a
gradual improvement in terms of leading indicators but also,
more importantly, has introduced some key structural reforms.
Labour reform and bail out of the banking system have helped
the Spanish economy to reverse the trend of unemployment,
and to produce a considerable trade surplus. In Q2 2013, Spain
began attracting considerable capital back into the economy
and its sovereign bond market trades at acceptable spreads
to the German benchmark. Italy and France have shown an
improving performance in terms of economic activity but the
sentiment has remained negative due to the political unrest
that has conditioned economic stimulus in both countries. The
UK and Germany have experienced a good performance both
at the macro level and in terms of political momentum.
• Over 50% of the portfolio is less than 16 months old with
strong appreciation potential yet to be realized
Over the investment period, we have prudently managed the
risk and reward metrics in the five core industrial verticals that
we focus on. We can now draw comparisons and conclusions
by sector and geography on our five year investment activity:
• During the first two years of the investment period, 20072008, we deployed 15% of the invested capital in two high
growth emerging market companies that were expanding
in Europe. We capitalised on the favourable discount
on historic multiples. Trilantic worked alongside the
management teams to build truly international companies.
We then exited both investments in 2012 and achieved
a 2.2x MOIC and a 22.8% IRR.
The private equity market in Europe has been in a “crescendo”
with a gradual rediscovery of Southern Europe as a market
where there are very interesting opportunities.
• During the period 2008-2010, we deployed 19% of the
invested capital in two UK services companies with
global growth potential. Trilantic actively supported both
companies delivering on this strategy through organic
growth and add-on acquisitions.
As you are all aware, Trilantic IV Europe has deployed 66% of
invested capital in Southern European companies in the 201013 period. The positive market sentiment of 2013 underpins
our conviction that our strong portfolio of investments will
obtain full valuation in the next 24-36 month period, which
is the anticipated horizon for the monetization of the fund’s
remaining investments.
• From November 2010 to December 2013, we deployed 66%
of the capital in Italy, Spain and Portugal in five meaningful
companies acquired at historically low multiples. In line
with our strategy, these companies are categorised into two
types: (i) export driven companies that have a platform for
growth outside of their domestic markets and (ii) protected
or regulated sectors with stable and predictable revenue
generation. In term of diversification, it is worth mentioning
that three of the five aforementioned companies generate
a significant portion of their revenues outside of Southern
Europe.
Trilantic Europe in 2013 carried out a significant amount of
post-acquisition work with our portfolio companies and, in
November 2013, completed the last investment of Fund IV
Europe, acquiring a significant stake in an Italian Fashion
Company, Elisabetta Franchi.
The investment in Elisabetta Franchi completed Fund IV
Europe’s investment cycle. Fund IV Europe has invested
approximately €450 million in 9 strong companies across 6
different countries in addition to c. €360 million from Fund IV
Global and other co-investors. The fund’s investment period
(2007-2013) has been unique and is likely to be remembered
as one of the least predictable and most challenging investment
environments in Europe. Your Trilantic Europe team has been
in the unique position of seeing it from the centre of the storm!
• We are now very actively supporting the growth of each of
these companies; targeting exits in the next 24-36 months
once we complete the implementation of our strategy.
Furthermore, although not part of the investment thesis at
entry, we expect to benefit from increased exit multiples
through transactions at a different point in the cycle.

2013 Annual Review | Trilantic Capital Partners – Fund IV Europe
Based on realistic exit assumptions, we believe that our
disciplined approach to exits, combined with value added
post-acquisition work, will enable us to raise the portfolio
MOIC to the targeted returns. This would be in line with our
historical average. While there are macroeconomic variables
outside our control which could impact our exit expectations,
we are very committed and motivated to achieve them.
Elena is a former Finance Minister and deputy Prime Minister
of Spain (2008-10), Minister of Health (2004-2007) and
Minister of Public Administration (2007-2009). Elena brings
a wealth of experience in European political processes that
will be instrumental for our focus on regulated assets and pan
European liberalizations.
Albert is a Consultant for selected private equity institutions.
He was for several years an economist with the International
Monetary Fund (I.M.F.). He has been a Vice President of
Citibank, the European Representative of a U.S. Bank and
member of the Board of several banks and companies.
We continue to see a number of attractively priced, quality
investment opportunities throughout Europe, but particularly
in Southern Europe where demand for capital outweighs
supply. Trilantic Europe is recognized as a flexible, valueadding equity partner to mid-market companies in this region.
We expect to continue to benefit from our strong network of
relationships and reputation to generate attractive, proprietary
investment opportunities. We look forward to take advantage
of the current pipeline and to start soon the investment activity
of the forthcoming successor fund to Fund IV Europe.
These additions further strengthen Trilantic Europe’s Advisory
Council, now comprised of 20 prominent senior advisors
who, together with our Operating Partners, support the team
with additional know-how, network and industrial resources
in sourcing new investments, assisting with review of
opportunities and due diligence, as well as providing postacquisition support.
From the internal front, I am happy to report four additions to
our European Avisory Council, created in 2005 and chaired
by Lord Kenneth Baker: Felix Weber, Marco Costaguta,
Elena Salgado and Albert Mizrahi recently joined the council
and we look forward to their contributions.
As always, we would encourage each of you to contact us
with follow-up questions or enquiries you may have about our
strategy and performance.

2013 Annual Review | Trilantic Capital Partners – Fund IV Europe
Trilantic Europe – 2013 Achievements
Investments
Realizations
During the course of 2013, the investment period of Fund IV
Europe ended with the final investment made in November
2013. The fund, together with co-investors, acquired 25%
of Elisabetta Franchi.
During the course of 2013, Gamenet took advantage of its
strong financial performance and capital markets momentum
to refinance its debt facilities. On 1 August 2013, Gamenet
placed a €200mn, five year 7.25% coupon bond rated B1/B+
by Moody’s and S&P, respectively. The proceeds have been
used to repay all the residual acquisition term loan put in place
in 2010 and to repay shareholders loan.
Elisabetta Franchi is a leading Bologna-based women’s
fashion company, founded by the Italian designer Mrs. Franchi
in 1998. The company is unlevered and highly cash generative
and has been one of the fastest growing premium women’s
wear brands in Italy over the past 4 years.
Trilantic Europe led the process and provided full support to
Gamenet in the execution of the transaction. After an initial
phase of document drafting and transaction preparation,
Gamenet’s management, together with a Trilantic Partner,
spent 4 days on the road meeting approximately 120 potential
investors.
The transaction ticks all the boxes of what we define as a
“Trilantic deal”:
• Proprietary: Investment opportunity sourced on a
proprietary basis through a Trilantic Europe partner‘s
relationship with a local advisor.
Responsible Investing
• Partner with a family/founder: Trilantic Europe found an
opportunity to acquire a stake in Elisabetta Franchi when
the founder was looking to replace passive minority
shareholders with a value adding international partner,
to drive the transition into a professionally managed,
international business.
Trilantic Europe has historically paid close attention to ESG
matters and will continue to remain a responsible and attentive
investor, keen on considering a wide array of non-financial
indicators when evaluating a transaction and during the life of
its investments. In this context and to further demonstrate
Trilantic Europe’s historical and ongoing commitment to
responsible investment, we have decided to become a
signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.
• International growth: Mrs. Franchi and Trilantic Europe
have an agreed international growth strategy, aiming to
triple sales outside of Italy.
To minimize the impact of our operations on climate change,
with the support of The CarbonNeutral Company, we have
offset the emissions generated as a firm during 2013 and
we are also working to reduce our carbon footprint.
In recognition of this, we have been awarded with the
CarbonNeutral® certification.
• Market dislocation: Attractive valuation multiple.
• Control or co-control: In spite of a 25% economic interest,
Trilantic Europe has strong governance and exit rights.
7
2013 Annual Review | Trilantic Capital Partners – Fund IV Europe
Market Opportunity and Outlook for 2014
• Non-auction situations: The scarcity of capital in Southern
Europe, together with Trilantic Europe’s excellent
reputation, is expected to provide for a strong pipeline of
proprietary deal flow. Trilantic Europe focuses on
proprietary opportunities where the team can perform
detailed due diligence, have in-depth discussions with
management teams about their vision and business plan
and negotiate the transaction on a bilateral basis. Twelve
out of Trilantic’s fifteen investments in Europe since 2004
have been acquired on a proprietary basis.
In the context of continued market dislocation across Europe,
we continue to monitor and source opportunities with a
particular focus on five geographies: Italy, Spain, France, the
UK and Germany. However, given the significant imbalance
of capital in Europe, in particular between Northern and
Southern Europe, Trilantic Europe believes there will
be attractive opportunities in Spain and Italy to acquire
meaningful companies from “distressed or forced sellers”.
Target companies are likely to share one of the following
characteristics: (i) businesses operating in a protected market
through government licenses or concessions (ii) corporate
divisions where Trilantic Europe’s expertise and history of
carve outs can be applied or (iii) export driven businesses.
Our pipeline is strong and we are engaged in several active
deal opportunities with companies that fit well into our
strategy. The total potential equity commitment of our current
pipeline is over €500mn and we are well positioned on many
of those potential transactions.
• Shortage of capital in selective markets: Trilantic Europe
looks to capitalize on market dislocations in Europe that
have resulted in the firm paying cyclically low multiples
for good companies, in particular in Southern Europe,
where the current macroeconomic conditions have led to
an inadequate supply of capital and limited access to credit
facilities for companies.
• Distressed European sellers: European governments
have been heavily impacted by the current economic
environment and continue to seek ways to divest stateowned assets, mainly through the sale of concessions
or privatizations. These same market dynamics have
similarly impacted the private sector, where financial
institutions and corporates are liquidating healthy
companies in their portfolios, under pressure from
regulators or where they are seeking to deleverage their
balance sheets. This creates favorable conditions for
Trilantic Europe, which aims to buy good companies
at attractive valuations from distressed sellers.
