Investment Composition:
As of the end of November 2015, the company held investments in the equity tranches of U.S. and European CLOs, U.S. senior secured loans, asset management businesses, hedge funds, real estate funds, equities, CLO mezzanine tranches and infrastructure, with the remainder of the net assets held in cash plus or minus certain net other assets or liabilities. Derivative mark- to-market gains and losses are contained within net other assets or liabilities.
| (1) | TFG invests substantially all its capital through a master fund, Tetragon Financial Group Master Fund Limited ("TFGMF") in which it holds a 100% share. |
| (2) | Fair Value Net Assets are determined by adjusting the U.S. GAAP Net Asset Value ($1,914.4 million) to give effect to the de-consolidation of certain TFG Asset Management businesses that are currently consolidated under U.S. GAAP (-$36.8 million), and the inclusion of their fair values ($173.8 million). The fair values used are as determined by TFG's Audit Committee based on information provided by an independent valuation specialist. The Fair Value Net Assets are also adjusted to reflect imputed incentive fees ($26.7 million) that would otherwise have arisen if these Fair Values were actually reflected in the U.S. GAAP accounting for TFG's financial statements. For further detail please refer to TFG's Q3 2015 performance report which is available at TFG's website www.tetragoninv.com |
| (3) | Calculation is with reference to U.S. GAAP Shares outstanding (approximately 101.2 million), which is determined by reducing TFG legal shares issued and outstanding by approximately 12.8 million shares held in treasury, 16.6 million shares held by a subsidiary and 6.7 million shares held in escrow, all subject to rounding. Pro Forma Fully Diluted Shares adjusts the U.S. GAAP shares outstanding (101.2 million) for the impact of escrow shares used as consideration in the Polygon transaction and associated stock dividends (together, 6.7 million) and for the potential impact of share options issued (2.0 million). These options represent the intrinsic value of shares available for the GreenOak founders as at the end of Nov 2015 (1.8 million) plus potential impact of options issued to TFG's Investment Manager at the time of TFG's IPO (0.2 million), all subject to rounding. |
| (4) | Calculation is with reference to Fair Value Net Assets ($2,024.7 million) divided by Pro Forma Fully Diluted Shares outstanding (approximately 110.0 million). |
| (5) | The NAV per Share calculation is after accruing for the dividend relating to Q3 2015. Any adjustments to net assets or shares resulting from the optional stock dividend program will be reflected next month upon the issuance of the applicable shares. |
Investment Composition (continued):
The geographical allocation of TFG's investments was determined to be 56.9% U.S., 9.2% Europe and 2.6 % Asia at month-end. Investments in certain hedge funds and other investment vehicles which have underlying investments that span more than one geographic region are considered to be "global" and represent 31.3%. Interests in asset management businesses have been excluded from this calculation.
