Carlton Group Europe Executive Summary
The Carlton Group Europe has been in business since 1991 and we have closed well over $100 billion of equity, debt and
investment sale transactions on behalf of large property owners and institutional clients for their most important
transactions. We specialize in customizing and executing highly-sophisticated equity and debt capital solutions either
through a multi-tranche equity and debt capital placement or through some type of structured sale transaction.
We are one of the top strategic capital advisors in the world and have executed some of the largest equity and debt recapitalizations and
investment sales in Europe. Our real estate capital markets advisory practice is run by Carlton Chairman Howard L. Michaels, Javier
Beltran - Head of Iberia -, Mads Loewe who runs our London office and Anthony Marando who runs our business in Italy. In
addition, Kevin Swill runs our business in Israel, Andrew Karaan covers the MENA region, Nick Chen and three other senior
associates cover Asia, and Anastasios Tzavellas runs our overseas office in Athens, Greece. Overall, the European team is assisted by
over 50 capital market professionals in the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
The Carlton platform is unique in that our core competence is arranging highly structured equity and debt capital from
balance sheet and “off the radar” investors. For the last 26 years, we have developed deep relationships with private sources of
capital throughout the world including ultra-high net worth investors, family offices, pension funds, multi-strategy funds, insurance
companies and other balance sheet investors. Our specialty is raising capital on large, complex transactions which often need to be
executed within a short timeframe. For instance, we recently closed a $1 billion luxury condominium land development
transaction arranging and coordinating six different lenders and investors to participate in the capital stack.
In 2015, Carlton Group Europe acted as exclusive advisor on the sale of logistic-industrial assets and office headquarters
(GLA of 32,000sqm) of a Spanish multinational company and we currently have €200 million five-star hotel in Italy under
contract. In 2014, we sold the Centro Nuevo Parking Garage, the largest car park in Valencia (Spain) exceeding 2,650 parking spaces,
which has been one of the largest private off-street car park disposals in the last two decades in Spain. We also successfully closed the
sale of a residential condominium in Barcelona and we also closed capital a €140 million acquisition and recapitalization of a large
residential portfolio located in the UK. We are presently organizing a €350 million financing and recapitalization of a large residential
property in Naples, Italy and have six other European exclusives for over €1 billion in value. We also closed a €250 million
recapitalization of the Four Season in Milan during the low point of the European credit crunch.
In sum, Carlton is dedicated to providing our clients with the 24/7 work ethic with the goal to generate the best possible
service and terms for our clients. Stated simply, we can structure or capitalize any transaction which makes sense.

The Carlton European Division
We have completed over $10 billion of Structured Finance and
Investment Sales transactions within the last 24 months
We also closed, at the low point of the credit crunch, the largest
single asset trade in Europe, which was the €250 million
discounted loan payoff and recapitalization at the Four Seasons
hotel in Milan.
This was a noteworthy transaction because:
 We were able to access a large amount of balance sheet
capital when most investors were not deploying capital.
 The terms for our client were very beneficial and allowed our
client to maintain full ownership of this iconic property
with no dilution.
 This transaction was also concluded with a modest discount
of the pay-off of the existing lender, which facilitated the
transaction.
As indicated herein, we have access to billions of dollars of
balance sheet capital which can facilitate transactions that
ordinarily may not be able to be completed.

Carlton European Overview
Experienced Team of Relationship Driven Professionals
Carlton's global marketing and capital markets team in both Europe, the United States and the Middle East is comprised of the most
qualified and uniquely experienced real estate and finance executives, who have relationships with virtually every major financial
institution, fund and other providers of capital. We raise every portion for the capital stack including senior financing, mezzanine
financing, joint venture equity, passive promotable equity along with various other creative structures required to complete the
transaction.
Capital Raising Focus
Our business is extremely unique within the industry as we solely focus on representing large property owners and financial institutions
to raise large amounts of either equity or debt, through either an investment sale, recapitalization, acquisitions, development or loan
sales. Unlike other advisory or brokerage firms, we are strictly a capital raising advisory firm and do not have other brokerage business
lines. We only focus on raising equity or debt capital for our clients as it is our expertise and gives us our niche in the business. As such,
our team covers virtually every major capital provider and the majority of the “off the radar” capital providers throughout the world.
We are experts in employing sophisticated valuation techniques and then create a viable plan to arrange all the financing required to
complete the capital structure.
“Off the Market” Capital Sources
We represent various capital sources who are looking for off-market, mis-priced investment opportunities and are willing to invest in
Europe. Our investors are yield-oriented and will provide capital on terms which is often better than the typical opportunity funds and
private equity firms, who are either red-lining certain European markets or providing terms that are not economically feasible to the
sponsor.
