WHY INTERNATIONAL LEASING?

Restructuring the Business
• Good bank / bad bank model was proposed by ITL (first time in Jan 2009!)
• Decision to declare insolvency took almost 18 months
– Creditors / banks’ consensus difficult to obtain
– Insolvency - the only viable solution
• Insolvency protected both the company and secured the creditors assets
• BCR as main creditor – critical role in restructuring International Leasing
• The insolvency procedure started in Oct 2010 !

CURRENT STATUS AND ACTIONS

What we have learned
• In difficult times for success to be achieved it is essential and critical to convince and to ensure the support of the creditor through strong entrepreneurial involvement and commitment
• Good business has to take advantage of the accumulated experience and continue on improved basis. Therefore the leasing activity remains the core business while capitalizing more on its potential.
• All experience and threats have a strong educative role and therefore new capabilities have been identified to suit the new trends. Developing the distressed assets managing platform is one of the positive results of our struggling experience along with improving the management skills.
• Actively adapting to the new economical reality and conditions is a must for the survival and a way to profitable opportunities.
13
Business model designed to meet current market evolution
• Existence of a Healthy Leasing Company functioning on an improved basis
• Functioning Distress Assets Platform to take advantage of the growing market opportunity for distress
assets acquisition or management, which will also handle the default risk from leasing activity.
• International Leasing demonstrated a series of qualities that qualifies it for sustained growth: Significant mind share Young experienced and dynamic management team Proven dependable and flexible ERP system Constant string of innovative and profitable products Audited by a Big6 company Captive dealership network Trendo Automobile – Peugeot & Kia Recognized web domain www.leasing.ro Appropriate size to build on – not too small to be difficult and time-consuming to further develop; not
too large to be prohibitive to buy in One of the last independent Romanian leasing companies with sound reputation
