Overview of F2i
F2i presentation March 2013 4
F2i Background
‒ In the early to mid-’90s, Italy launched a large privatisation programme, involving some of the most important manufacturing and infrastructure companies in the Country (food, oil & gas, telecoms, energy, airports and toll roads)
‒ However, the outcome of the privatisation programme was mixed:
‒ Privatisations through public share offerings have created large, efficient companies that are today among the most active players in the domestic and international markets (ENI, ENEL, Terna and Snam Rete Gas)
‒ Privatisations through the sale to “strategic investors” ended up with a shareholder structure skewed towards private families that failed to fully understand the “public” nature of infrastructures, reduced investments and eventually curtailed the growth of these companies (Telecom Italia, Autostrade, Aeroporti di Roma)
‒ F2i was conceived by the sharing by the main Institutions in the Country and its management team of the conviction that a long-term, institutional, professionally managed infrastructure fund could provide the ideal instrument to endow Italian infrastructure companies of a stable shareholding structure, that could pursue a coherent strategy:
‒ Long term orientation
‒ Focus on creation of large “national champions” that can re-invest cash flow for the development of infrastructure
‒ Target maximum efficiency, quality of services, investments, long-term, growth and financial performance
F2i presentation March 2013 5
F2i position in the Italian infrastructure market
‒ F2i was therefore created in 2007 by the main Italian public and private financial institutions to be the main investor in Italian infrastructure
‒ Its Sponsors include: State-owned bank Cassa Depositi e Prestiti; the two largest Italian Banks (Banca Intesa San Paolo and Unicredit); some of the largest Banking Foundations; two Italian Pension Funds
‒ With a fund raising equal to €1,85 billion, F2i I is the largest Italian private equity fund as well as one of the largest country focused infrastructure funds
‒ The success of F2i’s proposition is supported by achievements on both sides: fund raising and investments
‒ In raising capital, F2i was able to attract considerable private and public amount of money notwithstanding the severe international financial crisis (anti-cyclical and defensive concept)
‒ F2i is demonstrating to be seen as the flagship Italian Investor in strategic infrastructure assets of the Country
‒ F2i is now launching its Second Fund: on October 2nd, 2012, F2i achieved the first closing for €575MM (total Fund target size €1,2 billion).
F2i presentation March 2013 6
F2i position in the Italian infrastructure market‒ In less than four years, F2i I has invested in 13 companies. After two disposals and the combination of
three companies in the gas distribution sector, F2i currently has 9 investments (total investment around €1,85 billion, equal to the totality of the fund), in companies operating in six key infrastructure sectors: gas distribution, transportation (airports and motorways), water, renewable energies (windpower and photovoltaic) and TLC
‒ F2i has undertaken a consolidation / aggregation strategy in these sectors, aimed at creating first class national operators of infrastructure
‒ F2i adopts a balanced leverage strategy, in order to optimize the return on investment and to modulate the draw-downs from investors
‒ Current total draw-downs from investors amount to € 1.45 milion, representing 78% of the total amount of the fund
‒ F2i has actively managed and rationalized its portfolio through the disposal (at a profit vs. cost) of those participations that could not be considered “core” any longer (e.g. logistics centre Interporto Rivalta Scrivia and gas storage greenfield Enel Stoccaggi)
‒ Focus on investments with high cash generation and high dividend distribution potential. The first dividend got paid to the investors 2 years in advance compared to the business plan of the fund
o Dividends distributed to investors for over € 82 milion during 2010 and 2011 (“cash on cash” yield of 4,8% and 4,1%)
o F2i was able not to call the management fees from investors since the second semester of 2010
‒ In October 2012, F2i has launched its Second F2i Fund, with commitments from its Sponsors of €575MM. The Fund has already started its investment activities, for up over €300MM:
o Acquired 60% of TRM, a leading WTE plant in Turin (north west of Italy)
o Ongoing negotiations for investment in waste treatment business of utility Iren
o Acquired 8.6% of SEA (Milan airport) (F2i overall controls 44.3% of the Company)
F2i presentation March 2013 7

‒ One international financial player with strong and recognized presence and experience in Italy
‒ Qualified representatives of major institutional investors in Italy (banking foundations and professional pension funds)
‒ Sponsors providing €938 mln to the First Fund (€575 mln for the Second Fund)
‒ Total commitment for the First Fund reached €1.85bn
‒ Combination of local relationships and global experience

F2i I: Dividends from Portfolio Companies
(1) Calculated as the average of the valuation provided by the two appointed investment banks for ERG, Gesac, Mda, HFV and Alerion plus the historical cost of all other investments
According to its investment strategy, F2i made its main investments in brownfield assets, which were able to generate important operating cashflows and, despite high level of capital expenditures, already contributed sizeable dividends to the Fund. In particular, distributions from ENEL Rete Gas, Gesac and Mediterranea delle Acque are illustrated in the table below:
The high level of dividend distributed by ENEL Rete Gas (annual yield approx 19.0%) depends also by financial structure of the acquisition developed by F2i, which includes:‒ A Vendor Loan provided by the Seller ENEL Group at the time of the acquisition‒ A Loan Financing provided by a pool of international banks, which allows the company to make
relevant cash distributions to its shareholders while keeping investing in its core business

Pipeline and Investment Opportunities
F2i believes that the Italian infrastructure market will continue to offer significant investment opportunities due to: The increasing fiscal constraints on the public sector and in particular local
authorities, which will lead to a new wave of privatisations. F2i’s recent acquisition of a 29% stake in SEA (Milan airports) from the Municipality of Milan is expected to represent an important benchmark for other local authorities to privatise their infrastructure assets;
The high leverage of Italian utilities, that is likely to lead them towards non core asset disposals and spin-offs;
The rationalisation and consolidation process within certain sectors with a high level of fragmentation of players (e.g. gas distribution, water, Waste to Energy);
Need of improvement in efficiency and infrastructure upgrades, which fosters change in shareholdings (for example, optical fiber broadband networks, mobile towers, water);
Capital requirements by existing infrastructure companies to finance new investments (e.g. toll roads)

F2i I Residual to invest : € 0 – 83 mln
F2i has conducted together with Boston Consulting Group an in-depth market study of Italian infrastructures. The study, based on a bottom-up analysis of infrastructure players in the country, has identified an equity investment opportunity in excess of € 7.5 bn in the next four years, focusing on brownfield only within the infrastructure sectors identified as targets by F2i.
F2i presentation March 2013 21
‒ In October 2012, F2i has therefore launched its Second Fund, in order to take advantage of these significant and immediate investment opprtunities, in coordination with the portfolio achieved by Fund I:
o Opportunities to increase the stake in companies where Fund I has invested, so as to achieve majority or strenghthen F2i’s governance
o Make new investments in F2i sub-sectors, so as to continue in the creation of infrastructure groups able to be leaders in Italy within their industry
o Invest in one/two new subsectors, focusing on core infrastructure
- The Second Fund has target size of €1,2 billion, and has already raised €575 MM from its Sponsors
- It has already made two investments (WTE company TRM and Milan airports concessionaire SEA) and is negotiating the acquisition of a stake in waste treatment and disposal company Iren Ambiente

F2i I and F2i II: Exit Strategy
‒ F2i has a long term holding strategy for its participations, aiming at growing the EBITDA by virtue of organic and external expansion, fostering efficiencies, and managing the capital structure with the objective to obtaining a stable dividend flow.
‒ At the time of exit, F2i will look at various disposal alternatives for its participations in its Funds, including trade sales and IPOs.
‒ However, F2i portfolio is emerging as a strong group of assets focused on key sectors of the Italian infrastructure space, with important synergies and growth opportunities within each individual sectors. The current portfolio of F2i I had in 2011 an aggregate EBITDA in excess of € 650 million, potentially growing to over € 1.1 billion by 2017.
‒ One exit strategy could therefore involve the listing of the Fund, or the contribution of all or part of its portfolio to a newly created company, that could be listed, thus creating a new, major player in the European infrastructure sector, that could continue the management and development philosophy of F2i:
o Focus on operational excellence
o Growth orientation, through cap-ex explansion plans and M&A
o Synergies acros the various participations
‒ At that point, investors in F2i Fund I and II may decide whether to liquidate their investment, or become part of a core shareholder group of the newly created entity. The newly created entity should continue F2i’s strategy to grow its investments, acting as a consolidator in its sectors of activity and potentially expanding to other markets.
F2i presentation March 2013 25
Being a Core Investor in F2i II
‒ Enter the infrastructure market of the third largest European economy through the most important specialized player in the country
‒ Benefit from the link with the institutional network of F2i’s Sponsors
‒ Contribute to the growth of the unique existing asset portfolio, with growth prospects through internal growth and potential add-on acquisitions (cumulated organic capex of the portfolio companies in 2012-2022 almost € 5.0 bn)
‒ Potential IPO of the Fund (possibly combining Fund I and Fund II) and consequent possibility to become a cornerstone shareholder of one of the largest and most dynamic infrastructure players listed in Italy (and one of the largest in Europe)
‒ Co-investment rights in potential “jumbo” deals
‒ Commission rebate of 40 bp after achievement of hurdle rate

SEA S.p.A. – Milan Malpensa and Linate Airports
4242
Company Profile SEA holds the concessions of Milan Linate and Milan
Malpensa airports until 2041. SEA also owns a 30,98% stake in SACBO, company which manages the Bergamo airport (50 km far from Milan center).
In 2012, Linate and Malpensa airports have registered a passenger traffic over 28 mln, whereas Bergamo airport has had around 9 mln passengers (total for «Milan Area» is about 37 mln passengers).
Lombardy is one of the region with the highest GDP per-capita in Europe, with a strong potential growth. Malpensa airport is approximately 48 km far from Milan center, whereas Linate airport is only 8 km far (it is the closest European airport to the city center, focused on a frequent flyer customer on domestic and intra-EU routes).
As shown in the graph on the right, SEA has been able to respond to two significant shocks in 2008 and 2009 (Alitalia de-hubbing and the introduction of the high-speed rail on RM-MI), attracting new carriers and opening up new destinations (despite the negative situation of these last years).
In 2012, SEA has had a turnover of € 600 mln and an EBITDA of € 145 mln. The new rates have become active on 24 September 2012, allowing a substantial increase in profitability.

F2i’s investment in SEA
4343
The disposal of 14,56% share in SEA has been started by ASAM following the failure of the SEA's IPO. The purchase price of this 14,56% has considered the fair value identified in the IPO process and it amounted to € 147 mln, corresponding to approximately € 1,010 mln for 100% (vs. fair value range of € 970-1070 million) and representing an EV/EBITDA 2012 multiple of 8.3x (considering the EBITDA 2012 pro-forma to include the new rates for the entire year). Then, the Second Fund’s commitment was around € 87 mln.
SEA’s implicit value, recognised in this operation, is less then about 22% of that (€ 1.294 mln) recognised for the 29,75% share, as the 14,56% share does not bear the governance rights.
Recently, F2i has been in contact with the Milan’s Municipality in order to revise and extend the governance rights recognised on the 29,75% share and/or on the entire 44,3%. This should be also done in the context of new development and appreciation strategies of SEA, after the IPO failure. In the medium term, it cannot be excluded that Municipality decides to sell the SEA's majority: this investment opportunity should be valued by the Second Fund.
In any case, this investment presents a possible high return, even only at a stand alone level, so without assuming the joint exit with the First Fund F2i. In addition, for the Second Fund, it represents the launch of the investment strategy in the airport sector, where new exciting opportunities are growing up, as indicated in the slide below.
Currently F2i SGR owns a 44,31% stake in SEA, partly by the First Fund F2i (35,69%) and partly by the Second Fund F2i (8,62%). In particular: A first tranche (equal to 29,75%) has been bought at the end of 2011
by the First Fund F2i from the Municipality of Milan (which still owns a 54,81% stake in SEA). Referring to this share, the shareholders agreement (F2i-Municipality) considers the right for F2i to nominate two directors (out of 7), included the vice-President, and the right of co-sale (tag alone) in case of disposal of the majority by the Municipality.
A second tranche (equal to 14,56%) has been purchased at the end of 2012 from ASAM S.p.A. (Province of Milan) partly by the First Fund F2i (5,94%) and partly by the Second Fund F2i (8,62%).

SEA is the first investment of the Second Fund F2i in the airport sector, with the aim to pursue the strategy begun by F2i with the First Fund and to take advantage of the new opportunities that may arise, in order to develop this sector even independently from the First Fund.
Currently, in addition to a 35,69% stake in SEA , the First Fund F2i also owns a 70% stake in Gesac (Naples airport) and a 50,8% stake in Sagat (Turin airport). SEA and SAGAT, respectively, hold a 30,98% stake in Bergamo airport and a 33,4% stake in Florence one (as well as a noncontrolling interest in Bologna airport equal to 7,21%). Overall, the market share of these six airports is equal to the 36,4% of the domestic traffic.
After the takeover of a 8,62% stake in SEA (it has been a co-investment with the First Fund), further investment opportunities in the airport sector may include: (i) additional shares of SEA (if the Municipality of Milan decided to sell), Bologna, Catania, Palermo or Apulia airports, and also potentially the Venice one. These airports have a market share equal to the 54,7% of the domestic traffic.
The F2i strategy is supported, on the one hand, by the need to rationalize the sector, in order to ensure a long-term coordinated strategy to the entire system and, on the other hand, by the expected privatizations of several airport companies, so as to allow their public shareholders to raise funds for their needs.

TRM S.p.A. – Strategic considerations for F2i
Italian market and F2i position Leading Italian operators
– The national waste sector presents a high level of fragmentation: in 2011, the first nine operators have only managed the 7% of the total volumes
– On the other hand, in the European waste management sector, particularly in France, Germany and UK, there are several considerable operators
o France: extremely consolidated market where the first two operators (Veolia and Sita Suez) control over than 60% of the market
o UK: the first five operators manage more than 60% of the market
o Germany: several large operators, as Remondis and Biffa, have started strategies for an international growth
– The Italian market is in a transitional phase. Currently the leading operators are mainly operating on a regional and/or local level. Following the exemple of what happened in other European countries, they should expand their activities on a national and international level
– TRM’s acquisition is only a first step for F2i. It will be followed by further add-on acquisitions finalized to the creation of a national operator, leader in the waste sector
– In this context, the possible entry of F2i in the Iren Ambiente SpA’s capital, already F2i’s partner in TRM, could be the «platform» on which to consolidate the sector on a national basis
