Will the private sector bite?

Deleveraging and the economy

Government sector balance sheet Household sector balance sheet Banking sector balance sheet Corporate sector balance sheet

Deleveraging delayed Deleveraging ending Deleveraging ending Deleveraging completed

Bottom line:

Private sector deleveraging began in 2008 and has been the key reason why the U.S. recovery has been so weak over the past couple of years.

We are now approaching the end of the deleveraging cycle.

A non-deflationary deleveraging recipe

Add ingredients in equal measure

• Debt paydown • Default • Positive growth • Inflation

Apply low interest rates to support asset prices. Ensure banks and credit markets function. Stir for 7-10 years.

Financial repression

Financial repression: negative real rates Capital flows High payout financial structures Accretive acquisitions & earnings growth Cost of capital advantage for high payout model Dilemma: convert or be left behind

Income opportunities – caution

The progression of the yield trade – technical indicators • Massive inflows?

• Sell-side justification of valuations?

• New products?

• Hard for fundamentals to get any better?

• Spread compression between ratings?

• Increased leverage and credit risk?

Income opportunities – caution

The progression on the yield trade – structural changes

Income opportunities – high yield bonds

Value in top tier assets – MGM Resorts: 6.7% Premier resort operator on the Las Vegas Strip with such properties as Bellagio, Mirage, MGM Grand as well as joint ventures CityCenter and MGM Macau.

B3/B- rated US$8.625% bonds due 2/1/2019 and numerous secured bonds rated Ba2/B+ Aggressive balance sheet expansion prior to 2008 left MGM exposed during the credit crisis. A rebound in visitation, borrowing on a secured basis against ‘trophy’ assets and dividends from Macau allowed for the refinancing of near-term maturities and ongoing debt reduction.

Bellagio, Las Vegas Yield as of October 17, 2012

Income opportunities – high yield bonds

The Schaeffler Group – European borrower in U.S. dollars: 5.4% Leading supplier of highly-engineered components to the global automotive and industrial sectors. Debt levels increased substantially when the company tendered for shares in tire manufacturer Continental AG in September 2008.

Ba3/B+ rated US$8.5% bonds due 2/15/2019 European banks were no longer willing or able to refinance the company’s debt, forcing them into the public bond market; particularly the deep U.S. dollar high yield market. More opportunities like this to follow as the European banking sector shrinks.

Income opportunities – high yield bonds

Barret xPlornet – high yield bonds in Canadian dollars: 9.5% Largest Canadian provider of broadband Internet access to rural households using satellites and terrestial towers.

Income opportunities – caution in Europe

Select buying opportunities in restructuring plays – Gecina 5.7% 27% Gecina 31% 42% Metrovacesa 96% Loans Former insiders Public Spanish banks Class A Paris office and apartments, leveraged at 40% LTV by YE 2012 Louis Vuitton French headquarters, Paris Dividend yield well covered at 5.25% and company un-surfacing value through apartment sales and share buybacks Trades at approximately 25% discount to liquidation value Yield as of October 17, 2012

Income opportunities – real estate

Value in unique assets – Hudson Pacific Properties: 2.8% West Coast specialist consolidating assets in top markets such as San Francisco and L.A.

Small market cap ($9000m) which means that acquisition and development strategy can dramatically increase cash flow per share.

Valuation: valuation trades in line with peer group despite the exposure to superior markets and far better growth prospects. Low dividend yield of 2.5% but set to grow in coming years.

Sunset Bronson Studios, Hollywood CA Yield as of October 17, 2012

Income opportunities – real estate

Value in irreplaceable assets – Whistler Blackcomb: 8.5% Irreplaceable asset that requires little capital expenditures and spins off a tremendous amount of free cash flow.

Cash flows have proved very resilient to both weather and recession.

Valuation: 9x 2013 EBITDA. 8% dividend yield and substantial potential for capital gains .
