Report on Operations

1. Profile of DeA Capital S.p.A.
With an investment portfolio of around EUR 780 million and assets under management
of approximately EUR 11 billion, DeA Capital S.p.A. is currently one of Italy’s largest
alternative investment operators.
The company, which operates in both the Private Equity Investment and Alternative
Asset Management businesses, is listed on the FTSE Italia STAR segment of the Milan
stock exchange, and heads the De Agostini Group in the area of financial investments.
DeA Capital has "permanent" capital, and therefore has the advantage – compared with
traditional private equity funds, which are normally restricted to a pre-set duration – of
greater flexibility in optimising the timing of entry to and exit from investments. In
terms of investment policy, this flexibility allows it to adopt an approach based on value
creation over the medium to long term.

In relation to the corporate structure shown above, the procedure for the partial non-proportional

On 1 April 2011 and 1 August 2011, DeA Capital Investments received reimbursements of EUR 11.5
million from the fund, which were used in full to reduce the carrying value of the units.
In relation to the relevant portion, total payments made by DeA Capital Investments to IDeA FoF I
from the beginning of the fund’s operations until 31 December 2011 were EUR 110.8 million, with a
residual commitment of EUR 59.2 million. The carrying value of the fund in the consolidated financial
statements is EUR 94.3 million.
 IDeA Opportunity Fund I (IDeA OF I) - Paid calls and reimbursements
On 4 January 2011, 1 April 2011 and 1 July 2011, DeA Capital Investments increased its investment in
the IDeA OF I fund with payments totalling EUR 9.8 million.
Then on 3 October 2011, DeA Capital Investments received reimbursements totalling EUR 0.5 million
from the same fund (to be used in full to reduce the carrying value of the units) with a concurrent
capital call of EUR 0.3 million.
On 18 November 2011, the company made another payment of EUR 0.5 million thereby bringing the
total investment in IDeA OF I at 31 December 2011 to EUR 52.1 million with a residual commitment of
EUR 47.9 million and carrying value of EUR 36.2 million in the consolidated financial statements.
At its meeting on 20 July 2011, the Board of Directors of IDeA Capital Funds SGR approved a number
of regulatory changes. These included changing the name of the IDeA Co-Investment Fund I (IDeA
CoIF I) to IDeA Opportunity Fund I (IDeA OF I) and extending investment opportunities to qualified
minority interests, independently or via syndicates.
 ICF II (Fund of Funds) - Paid calls
On 4 January 2011, 1 April 2011, 1 July 2011 and 3 October 2011, DeA Capital Investments increased
its investment in the ICF II fund with payments totalling EUR 2.6 million.
In relation to the relevant portion, payments made by DeA Capital Investments to ICF II, from the
beginning of the fund’s operations until 31 December 2011, totalled EUR 8.0 million, with a residual
commitment of EUR 42.0 million. The carrying value of the fund in the consolidated financial
statements is EUR 9.1 million.
 Reorganisation of IDeA Alternative Investments
With a view to simplifying the shareholder base, corporate governance and investment processes, at
the start of 2011 the first step was taken to reorganise IDeA Alternative Investments (IDeA AI),
achieved through a partial non-proportional demerger, with a reduction in the share capital of IDeA AI
and allocation of Investitori Associati SGR and Wise SGR to the management of Investitori Associati

SGR and Wise SGR respectively, in return for the cancellation of the stakes held by those companies in
IDeA AI.
Following approval by the Bank of Italy and the Italian Competition Authority, the deed of the
demerger of IDeA AI, effective from 17 January 2011, was completed on 13 January 2011.
DeA Capital S.p.A., which previously held 44.36% of the company’s capital, has therefore acquired
control of 90.11% of IDeA AI and its assets. These primarily include 100% of IDeA Capital Funds SGR,
65% of Soprarno SGR and 65% of IDeA SIM.
Subsequently, on 20 January 2011, in order to gain control of the entire share capital of IDeA AI, DeA
Capital S.p.A. acquired the remaining 9.89% of the company’s stock held by private investors,
including directors Lorenzo Pellicioli and Paolo Ceretti, in exchange for 4,806,921 DeA Capital shares,
using existing own shares in the portfolio, equal to 1.57% of the capital.
As part of the valuations performed for the various transactions mentioned above, the company
employed the services of independent external consultants.
On 26 July 2011, in order to continue the process of simplifying the shareholder base, corporate
governance and investment processes, which began with the partial non-proportional demerger at the
beginning of 2011, the Board of Directors of DeA Capital S.p.A. approved the merger by incorporation
of the wholly-owned subsidiary IDeA Alternative Investments.
The intention behind the operation, which entails the reorganisation of the DeA Capital Group’s
corporate structure, is to centralise within the parent company the cash flows and the determination of
strategic guidelines for the alternative asset management business.
The Bank of Italy has already given its approval, and the operation took effect on 1 January 2012.
 Sale of the stake in Stepstone by IDeA AI
On 1 February 2011, IDeA AI sold the entire share capital of IDeA AI Sarl, which in turn owns a 4.9%
stake in Stepstone, and also has a right to a portion of the management fees and carried interest of
the Blue Skye fund.
The total proceeds from the transaction were around EUR 2.6 million, in line with the carrying value
recorded in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2010.
 Dividends from Alternative Asset Management activities
On 30 March 2011, the shareholders' meeting of FARE Holding approved the company's financial
statements to 31 December 2010 and approved the distribution of dividends totalling EUR 9.0 million,
including EUR 6.3 million to the parent company DeA Capital S.p.A. (paid out on 31 March 2011).
On 19 April 2011, the shareholders' meeting of IDeA Alternative Investments approved the company's
financial statements to 31 December 2010 and approved the distribution of dividends totalling EUR 6.7
million, to be paid entirely to the parent company DeA Capital S.p.A. (paid on 16 May 2011).
Therefore, total dividends from Alternative Asset Management activities paid in 2011 to the parent
company DeA Capital S.p.A. totalled EUR 13.0 million compared with EUR 9.4 million in 2010.

 Santé – partial cancellation of the equity plan granted to the senior management of
GDS
On 31 March 2011, DeA Capital Investments acquired a portion of the Santé shares subscribed for
during the second half of 2009 by the senior management of GDS as part of the equity plan arranged
for this purpose.
Specifically, the shares acquired related to the equity plan of the chairman of the GDS executive
committee, whose mandate was terminated by mutual consent at the end of 2010.
The transaction, which was completed with a net investment of around EUR 1.0 million, involved the
cancellation of a portion of the loans earmarked to execute the above-mentioned equity plan and put
options available for the seller of the shares.
Following this transaction, the DeA Capital Group's shareholding in Santé increased from 42.61% to
42.89% (i.e. 42.87% to 42.99% in economic terms).
 Share buy-back plan
In relation to the plan to buy and sell own shares approved by the shareholders’ meeting on 26 April
2010, on 14 February 2011 DeA Capital S.p.A. announced its intention to buy, depending on market
conditions, shares up to a maximum of 50% of the average daily trading volume for the 20 trading
days preceding the date of purchase.
Subsequently, on 19 April 2011, the shareholders' meeting approved a new plan to buy and sell own
shares that cancels and replaces the previous plan approved by the shareholders' meeting on 26 April
2010, with the same objectives as the previous plan, including the purchase of own shares to be used
for extraordinary transactions and share incentive schemes, offering shareholders a means of
monetising their investment, stabilising the share price and regulating trading within the limits of
current legislation.
The approved plan authorised the Board of Directors to buy and sell a maximum number of ordinary
shares in the company representing a stake of up to 20% of share capital, on one or more occasions,
on a rotating basis.
The authorisation specifies that purchases may be carried out, for a maximum period of 18 months
starting from 19 April 2011, in accordance with all procedures allowed by current regulations, including
a public purchase or exchange offer, which was not permitted under the previous authorisation granted
by the shareholders' meeting. The unit price for the purchase of the shares will be set on a case-by-
case basis by the Board of Directors, but in any case must not be more than 20% above or below the
share’s reference price on the trading day prior to each purchase.
In contrast, the authorisation to sell own shares already held in the company’s portfolio and any shares
to be bought in the future was granted for an unlimited period, to be implemented using the methods
deemed most appropriate and at a price to be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Board of
Directors, which must not, however, be more than 20% below the share's reference price on the
trading day prior to each sale (apart from certain exceptions specified in the plan), although this limit
may not apply in specific cases. Sale transactions may also be carried out for trading purposes.
On the same date, the Board of Directors met after the shareholders' meeting and resolved to initiate
the plan to buy and sell own shares authorised by the shareholders’ meeting, and to this end invested
the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive with all the necessary powers, to be
exercised jointly or severally and with full power of delegation.
In 2011, under the above-mentioned two plans, DeA Capital S.p.A. purchased around 18.1 million
shares valued at about EUR 26.4 million (at an average price of EUR 1.46 per share).

Taking into account purchases made in previous years for plans in place from time to time, and uses of
own shares to service purchases of controlling interests in FARE Holding and IDeA AI, at 31 December
2011 the Company owned 25,915,116 own shares (equal to about 8.5% of share capital).
 Stock option plan
On 19 April 2011, the shareholders’ meeting approved the DeA Capital stock option plan for 2011–
2016. To implement the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the Board of Directors of DeA Capital
S.p.A. allocated a total of 1,845,000 options to certain employees of the company and its subsidiaries,
and employees of the parent company De Agostini S.p.A. who carry out important roles.
In line with the criteria specified in the regulations governing the DeA Capital stock option plan for
2011–2016, the Board of Directors also set the exercise price for the options allocated at EUR 1.538,
which is the arithmetic mean of the official price of ordinary DeA Capital shares on the Mercato
Telematico Azionario, the Italian screen-based trading system organised and managed by Borsa
Italiana S.p.A., on the trading days between 18 March 2011 and 18 April 2011.
The terms and conditions of the DeA Capital stock option plan for 2011–2016 are set out in the
Information Prospectus prepared in accordance with art. 84-bis of Consob Resolution 11971 of 14 May
1999, available to the public at the headquarters of DeA Capital S.p.A.

 Placement of Migros shares by Kenan Investments through accelerated book-building
and subsequent cash distribution
In April 2011, Kenan Investments, a company controlled by funds managed by BC Partners, in which
the DeA Capital Group holds a stake of around 17%, completed the placement of 31 million Migros
shares (representing 17.4% of the company's share capital) with institutional investors. The placement
was carried out using an accelerated book-building procedure, at a price of TRY 25 per share, for a
total value of around TRY 775 million (about EUR 346.5 million).
Following the receipt of the proceeds from this share placement, on 5 May 2011 Kenan Investments
distributed a total of EUR 296.5 million to shareholders; DeA Capital’s share amounted to EUR 50.5
million, generating a capital gain of around EUR 26.6 million.
Subsequently, on 18 October 2011 Kenan Investments completed the distribution of the remainder
totalling about EUR 50 million; DeA Capital's share amounts to EUR 8.5 million, generating a capital
gain of about EUR 1.2 million.
The above distributions, with capital gains totalling EUR 27.8 million, combined with the amount
collected in 2010, bring total proceeds to date from Kenan Investments to EUR 79.8 million (with
capital gains of EUR 30.1 million) for an initial investment of EUR 175 million (with the investment
valued at acquisition cost of EUR 125.3 million and a carrying value in the consolidated accounts to 31
December 2011 of EUR 127.1 million).
Following this placement, the indirect stake of the DeA Capital Group in Migros was 13.7% resulting
from the above-mentioned direct 17% interest in Kenan Investments and the 80.5% stake held by the
latter in Migros.
 Sale of Şok by Migros
On 7 June 2011, Migros signed an agreement to sell Şok (the discount arm of the Migros Group) to
Yildiz Holding Group, a leading Turkish food producer, for around TRY 600 million. Following approval
from the Turkish anti-trust authority on 17 August 2011, the deal was closed on 24 August 2011 and
the transaction was settled in cash.
The business sold consists of some 1,200 supermarkets, with revenues in 2010 of around TRY 1.2
billion (or 19% of Migros Group revenues).
 Générale de Santé – adoption of a new corporate governance system
With the aim of streamlining and achieving greater efficiency in the company's governance and
operations, on 30 June 2011 the shareholders' meeting of Générale de Santé, which is controlled by
the investee company Santé S.A., changed the company's governance structure by replacing the
previous dual system (of a supervisory board and an executive committee) with a traditional system of
just a board of directors.
This change had essentially no impact on the shareholders' agreements signed by DeA Capital and the
other Santé shareholders in 2007.
The Board of Directors therefore appointed Pascal Roché as the new Directeur Général of the company,
with management responsibilities similar to those of a CEO.

 First and second closing of the Idea Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Growth Fund
On 1 August 2011, DeA Capital Investments participated in the first closing of the IDeA Energy
Efficiency and Sustainable Growth (IDeA EESS) fund by subscribing to 250 “A” units and 1 “B” unit (the
latter confers the right to 5% of any carried interest), representing a maximum commitment of up to
around EUR 12.6 million. DeA Capital Investments paid approximately EUR 0.2 million into the fund on
the same date.
IDeA Alternative Investments subscribed to a further five “B” units of the fund (conferring the right to
a total of 25% of any carried interest).
On 15 December 2011, the fund undertook a second closing for a total of EUR 2.5 million, which
brought the total commitment to EUR 53.5 million. Following the addition of the new shareholders, DeA
Capital Investments held a 23.5% stake.
 Finalisation of merger between FARE SGR and FIMIT SGR
In 2011, the merger by incorporation of First Atlantic Real Estate SGR S.p.A. (FARE SGR) into FIMIT
SGR S.p.A. (FIMIT SGR), which had begun with a series of non-binding agreements in 2010, was
completed. Specifically, on 3 October 2011, in executing the merger deed concluded between FARE
SGR and FIMIT SGR on 26 September 2011 (as approved by the respective shareholders' meetings
after obtaining the favourable opinion of the Italian Competition Authority and the approval of the Bank
of Italy), the merger of FARE SGR into FIMIT SGR was completed. At the same time, the latter changed
its name to IDeA FIMIT SGR S.p.A.
The exchange ratio, i.e. the ratio between the economic values of FIMIT SGR and FARE SGR was 1.48,
which was supported by leading investment banks and judged suitable in the report by the
independent expert appointed pursuant to art. 2501-sexies of the Italian Civil Code by the Court of
Rome on 15 February 2011, which was filed at the registered offices of the former FARE SGR and the
former FIMIT SGR on 1 April 2011.
Note that determination of the exchange ratio did not include the economic rights to the performance
fees of the two asset management companies' existing funds at the time of the merger, which, as
agreed, continued to belong to the previous shareholders through the allocation of financial equity
instruments (strumenti finanziari partecipativi, or SFP) issued before the execution of the merger deed
(on 5 September 2011 by FARE SGR and on 13 September 2011 by FIMIT SGR).
These SFPs were issued on a proportional basis, and more precisely, at a ratio of one financial equity
instrument for every share held with no specific contribution to be made by shareholders. The SFPs
grant holders specific ownership rights; they do not confer the right to participate or vote at
shareholders' meetings, but only the right to vote at the special shareholders' meeting for holders of
SFPs pursuant to art. 2376 of the Italian Civil Code. SFPs may be freely transferred with or without the
shares. In addition, they confer the right to receive, on a proportional basis, distributions calculated as
the difference between the overall amount of performance fees collected each financial year by IDeA
FIMIT and directly allocable costs. These ownership rights are granted to holders of SFPs only if the
shareholders' meeting of IDeA FIMIT SGR approves the distribution of profits for the period and/or
reserves, up to the limits of such profits and/or reserves. In this regard, holders of SFPs have priority
over shareholders in the division of profits and reserves. If the shareholders' meeting does not approve
any distribution, or the amounts for which the shareholders' meeting approves a distribution are lower
than the ownership rights attaching to the SFPs, these rights shall accrue, with no time limitation, with
those that materialise in future periods. Any ownership rights not exercised at the dissolution date of
IDeA FIMIT SGR will be granted to holders of such instruments through the division of the remaining
settlement proceeds, with priority over any distribution to ordinary shareholders. The SFPs confer no
rights of reimbursement or withdrawal.

At the same time as the merger, the other actions to acquire control of IDeA FIMIT SGR by DeA Capital
S.p.A. came into effect, namely:
 the acquisition by DeA Capital of a 58.31% stake in IFIM S.r.l. (IFIM) from Feidos S.p.A.
(Feidos), a company owned by Massimo Caputi
 the acquisition by IFIM of the stake held by the LBREP III Fimit S.a.r.l. fund (LBREP) in FIMIT
SGR, equal to 18% (pre-merger) of the company's share capital
Following the series of planned operations, FARE Holding has a stake of 40.32% and IFIM a stake of
20.98% in the new IDeA FIMIT SGR. Both these companies are controlled by DeA Capital S.p.A. In
financial terms, the operation required an outlay for DeA Capital S.p.A. of EUR 59.4 million, of which
EUR 37.3 million related to shareholder loans to IFIM (to cover the company’s entire debt at the time
of the operation, and the partial financing of the acquisition of LBREP's stake in FIMIT SGR.

Pursuant to the provisions of art. 21 of Decree Law 201 of 6 December 2011, which was converted
with revisions by Law 214 of 22 December 2011, INPDAP and ENPALS were abolished and the relevant
functions transferred to INPS (National Social Security Institute), which takes over all the assets and
liabilities of the abolished entities from 1 January 2012.
The shareholders' meeting of IDeA FIMIT SGR, held after completion of the merger, appointed the
Board of Directors, comprising 13 members, of whom the majority (seven) were appointed directly or
indirectly by DeA Capital S.p.A. It also appointed Massimo Brunelli as Chief Executive of IDeA FIMIT
SGR and the Executive Committee comprising seven members, (of whom three were appointed by DeA
Capital S.p.A.). Two of these seven members are independent.
The operation described forms part of the development process that DeA Capital S.p.A. has undertaken
in recent years to create an independent platform for alternative asset management.
The union of FARE SGR and FIMIT SGR will make it possible to continue the growth process and
consolidate the company’s leading position in the domestic market, as well as lay the foundations for
strong growth in the international market as well.
IDeA FIMIT will oversee the entire range of products and will be seen as the leading integrated
management centre for real estate funds. It will have substantial business advantages, such as
significant economies of scale and improved capacity to create and place new managed products,
making it a leader in its reference market.
In addition, the presence of institutional partners (such as the DeA Capital Group and leading Italian
social security organisations) among shareholders will provide significant support for the development
of the company and new products, allowing IDeA FIMIT SGR to position itself as the preferred partner

among Italian and international institutional investors in the promotion, creation and management of
real estate mutual funds.
At 31 December 2011, the company had assets under management of around EUR 9.5 billion through
24 real estate funds, of which five are listed on the MIV segment of Borsa Italiana. Over 80
institutional entities and 80,000 retail investors have invested in the funds.
 First closing of the Atlantic Value Added (AVA) fund
The "Atlantic Value Added Closed-End Speculative Real Estate Mutual Fund" commenced operations on
23 December 2011 with a primary focus on real estate investments in the office and residential
markets with the potential for growth in value. The duration of the fund is eight years.
The fund, which is managed by the subsidiary IDeA FIMIT SGR, completed the first closing with a
commitment of around EUR 55 million compared with a target commitment of EUR 150 million.
DeA Capital Investments subscribed to a total commitment of EUR 5 million in the fund (corresponding
to 9.1% of the overall commitment), and at 31 December 2011 had made the first payment of EUR 2.5
million (five units).
 Investment in Harvip Investimenti S.p.A. (Harvip)
On 28 December 2011, DeA Capital S.p.A. purchased 25% of the share capital of Harvip Investimenti
(Harvip) from the subsidiary IDeA FIMIT SGR for consideration equal to EUR 1 million. The company
manages funds and investment vehicles used to purchase distressed real estate and other
investments.

5. Results of the DeA Capital Group
The results reported by the group for the period relate to the businesses below:
 Private Equity Investment, which includes the reporting units that carry out private equity
investment, broken down into equity investments (Direct Investments) and investments in
funds (Indirect Investments)
 Alternative Asset Management, which includes reporting units involved in asset management
activities and related services, with a focus on the management of private equity and real
estate funds
Private equity
The complex economic and financial situation that arose in 2008-2009 had an obvious impact on the
general economy in 2010, while in 2011 there was a more widespread recovery in the first half, which
was more pronounced in emerging economies. During the second half of 2011, however, on the basis
of International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections, global economic growth prospects worsened. In the
second half, the global financial markets experienced significant volatility mainly due to uncertainties
surrounding the future of the single European currency.
In 2012, a minor recession in mature European economies is projected due to the sovereign debt
crisis, the impact of bank deleveraging on the real economy and the impact of further tax consolidation
policies announced by governments.
The most significant risks are mainly linked to the possibility that the negative effects of the sovereign
debt and banking crisis in the Eurozone will get worse. This would lead to a further contraction of loans
to businesses and households, and lower expectations of economic growth as a result.
The first signs provided by financial markets at the beginning of 2012 seem to dismiss the most
catastrophic scenarios that were taking shape in the fourth quarter of last year. Although the problems
with European sovereign debt, and in particular, Greek debt, have not been resolved, the efforts of
governments and commitment of the International Monetary Fund are gathering the support of
investors as demonstrated by the recovery of major stock indices and the reduction in the yield spread
between German government bonds and those of peripheral countries.
The uncertain economic situation and the resulting volatility in financial markets have also had a major
impact on the global private equity market. Investment activity has suffered from the greater
unwillingness of European banks to provide loans for buy-out transactions, which is only partially offset
by investors' additional use of bond financing. Furthermore, the prospect of a zero-growth scenario in
Europe affected the ability of European private equity funds to raise capital, with a gradual increase in
allocations toward funds focused on emerging countries.
There were no trend reversals in funds raised, which totalled USD 277 billion in 2011, in line with 2010
(USD 307 billion in 2009). Instead, there was a sharp increase in the value of the amount raised in
listings of companies owned by private equity and venture capital funds. The volumes of IPOs by
companies financed by private equity funds in 2011 totalled USD 24 billion (USD 17 billion in 2010),
exceeding even the 2007 levels.
Investment activity was higher than in 2010 with buyout investment volume reaching a level of USD
258 billion compared with around USD 218 billion in 2010. Despite widespread uncertainty, investment
activities rose by 18% on an annual basis. However, the aggregate figure conceals a significant
reduction in investments in the second half of the year (-16%). The first three quarters of 2011
generated distributions of USD 55 billion, which was a sharp reduction from the USD 111 billion in
2010, which included USD 65 billion in the first half alone.

Private equity in Europe
The European private equity market amounts to just over 20% of the total. Fund raising declined
markedly in 2009, while there was a gradual recovery in the following two years. Fund raising rose
from EUR 55 billion in 2010 to EUR 61 billion in 2011.
To be specific, with regard to the main businesses in which DeA Capital invests, in 2010 transactions
were carried out at multiples, which, on average were higher than the book value multiples of Générale
de Santé. In the food retail sector, acquisitions were primarily made by groups active in the sector with
the aim of expanding in emerging countries, at multiples in line with the book value multiples of
Migros.

Private equity in Italy
Statistics prepared by AIFI (the Italian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association) and currently
updated to the first half of 2011 show a 19% decline in fund raising compared with the same period in
2010, even though the first signs of the European sovereign debt crisis occurred in the second half of
the year.
Conversely, investment operations improved significantly and are still focused on small transactions –
traditionally a feature of the Italian market – which proved to be more stable than large transactions
requiring significant financial leverage.

The number of new investments rose from 129 to 159, with a total value of EUR 1,524 million (up by
176% compared with the same period in 2010). Despite the difficult environment, there are positive
signs from the buy-out sector, where investments in the first half of 2011 more than tripled from EUR
329 million to EUR 1,160 million, with 27 transactions. There were also good results from the
expansion segment relating to minority investments intended to support the growth programmes of
existing businesses, which doubled in the first half of 2011 with 74 transactions ranging from EUR 145
million to EUR 280 million.
Outlook for private equity in 2012
It is reasonable to expect that the recovery in private equity investment activities may continue in
future years if the macro-economic situation allows banks to avoid solvency problems and to provide
cash to the credit market.
The strengthening of fund raising at lower levels, together with the natural selection process of
managers, will result in less competition in the area of investments, and as a result, stability in
purchase prices.
It will finally be possible to work out several current investment issues related to today’s environment
of volatility and uncertainty.
Distressed funds will benefit from new opportunities provided by the European sovereign debt crisis
following the process of reducing non-core assets by European banks. Certain emerging economies
such as China, Brazil, Turkey and Indonesia, offer opportunities that are mainly linked to clear
economic growth and healthy government finances.
In these economies, PE also benefits from a low level of penetration in total M&A transactions with a
lower level of competition.
Lastly, a rise in conversions linked to expectations of an increase in the value of portfolios is also likely.

Real estate market in Europe
The main European performance indices in the non-residential sector, such as the DTZ Fair Value
Index1
, again declined in the third quarter of 2011 after posting an initial uptick over 2010 levels at the
beginning of the year. Jones Lang La Salle2
also reported positive real estate performance in Europe for
the first two quarters, with an overall increase in take-up of 10%, while the negative results in the
third and fourth quarter, which were also tied to the decline in business confidence, will reduce overall
volumes to 2010 levels leaving the average vacancy rate stable at 10.2%
This trend is a reflection of the pessimistic market environment and reduced opportunities due in part
to investors' increased aversion to risk. In fact, as is the case in the bond market, there is a clear
preference for instruments deemed to be "safe," such as US and German government bonds, and in
the real estate market products with a low risk profile are also favoured, while markets deemed to be
less liquid are penalised.
In core markets, i.e. those with a lower "country risk" profile and a correspondingly lower yield on
government bonds (Germany, Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries), the spread between
yields in the real estate market and yields on government bonds, historically considered a benchmark
of the attractiveness of the real estate market, is reaching record levels. Conversely, in peripheral
markets, such as Italy, the increase in yields on government bonds reduces this spread to zero or a
negative figure.
However, this situation is not likely to continue since, in the Italian and other markets, an increase in
required yields is also projected in response to greater systemic risk. The impact of the slowdown in
the overall economic environment is instead common to all European markets as many observers are
reporting a slowdown, including going forward, in the growth in lease payments, which will negatively
affect potential returns and various real estate sectors since businesses will postpone their expansion
plans. DTZ Research3
is projecting average global growth in lease payments for the entire real estate
sector of 2.1% per annum for the four-year period 2012-2016, which is lower than the projections
made in mid-2011, but still higher than the 1.7% projected in the Eurozone and US.

Real estate funds in Italy
In 2011 (Scenari Immobiliari estimates), assets managed by real estate funds rose by 4.8% over the
previous year despite a gloomy economic environment. At the end of 2011 the 310 existing funds
directly controlled real estate assets of around EUR 46 billion.

Around 62% of investment is concentrated in the office market and 20% in the commercial market,
the sector with the highest number of transactions in 2011. At the same time, only 1% is concentrated
in the residential market. However, the trend towards a more uniform breakdown of real estate
investments has still not made it possible to get close to the average overall distribution seen in
Europe.
Based on the analysis of Scenari Immobiliari on the retail and reserved funds industry in Italy, the real
estate fund market has demonstrated its countercyclical characteristics. The overall net asset value
("NAV") of funds rose from around EUR 34 billion to EUR 36 billion.

With regard to retail funds, the study by Scenari Immobiliari reports a decrease in direct real estate
assets of around 4% to a level of around EUR 7.5 billion. The overall use of financial leverage dropped
by 7% compared with 2010.

Total NAV at year-end 2011 was about EUR 6 billion, representing a reduction of around 3% on the
same period in 2010.

For listed funds, the average discount to NAV was around 33% in 2011, a decline of about 2 points
from the previous year.
Following the publication of Decree Law 78/2010, the regulatory uncertainty over the last two years
has left operators with the perception that there is volatility in this area. Nonetheless, the number of
operating funds has risen, although at a lower rate than expectations, and a modest increase is also
projected for 2012.
Positive expectations for NAV growth in 2012 are associated with the projected creation of one or more
funds for public buildings as specified by the recently approved stability law.
Italian real estate funds saw substantial stability in property prices, while the volume of purchase and
transfer transactions rose slightly.
During the last six months of 2011, real estate totalling EUR 1,101 million was purchased and
transferred, representing an increase of around EUR 100 million over the same period in 2010
(Assogestioni data). Sales followed the same trend moving from EUR 1,153 million in the second half
of 2010 to EUR 1,221 million in the first six months of 2011.

The office market, which is historically the most significant non-residential real estate market, reported
a 13% increase in investments over 2010, while yields remained largely unchanged.
In 2011, institutional investors were particularly interested in the commercial market, thanks especially
to the greater coverage of inflation risk and the stability of cash flows. This confirmed the positive
trend that had begun in 2006, which led to a gradual increase in this component to the detriment of
the office market.
In the three-year period 2007-2010, the Italian residential real estate market saw a sharp reduction of
around 30% in purchases and sales. In the first nine months of 2011, the number of house sales and
purchases declined by a further 3.3% compared with the same period in the previous year.
Prices continue to be more stable than in other countries, especially with respect to high-end
commercial and management property in large cities, for which there is a considerable imbalance
between demand (continually growing) and supply (largely stable since 2005).
Lower recourse to financial leverage in Italy than in other countries is also considered a factor of
relative stability. The use of leverage is equivalent to 55% of the value of the investments for retail
funds and 65% for reserved funds.

Investments in associates
- Santé (parent company of GDS)
Headquarters: France
Sector: Healthcare
Website: www.generale-de-sante.fr
Investment details:
On 3 July 2007, DeA Capital S.p.A. finalised the purchase, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary DeA Capital Investments S.A., of a 43.01% stake in Santé S.A., the parent
company of Générale de Santé S.A. both directly and through Santé Dévéloppement Europe
S.A.S. At 31 December 2011, the DeA Capital Group's stake was 42.99% (in economic
terms).
Brief description:
Founded in 1987 and listed on the Eurolist market in Paris since 2001, Générale de Santé is a
leading player in the private healthcare sector in France with revenues of about EUR 2 billion
at end-2011.
France is the second largest country in Europe in terms of annual healthcare expenditure after
Germany. Its healthcare system is one of the most advanced in the world, is still heavily
fragmented and is marked by the presence of numerous independent hospitals.
The company has around 21,500 employees and a total of about 110 clinics. In addition, it is
the main independent association of doctors in France (5,500 doctors).
Its activities include medicine, surgery, obstetrics, oncology and radiotherapy, mental health,
subacute pathologies and rehabilitation.
The company operates under the following names: Générale de Santé Cliniques (acute care),
Médipsy (psychiatry), Dynamis (rehabilitation) and Généridis (radiotherapy).
The investment in Santé, which is recorded under "Investments in Associates," is reported at a value of
around EUR 235.2 million (EUR 282.9 million at 31 December 2010) in the consolidated financial
statements at 31 December 2011; the change from 31 December 2010 was due to the loss of EUR
50.7 million and other increases of EUR 3.0 million (including the net investment linked to the partial
termination of the Equity Plan granted to GDS senior management).

Générale de Santé (EUR million) 2011 2010 % chg.
Revenues 1,955 1,926 +1.5
EBITDA 249 229 +8.6
Recurring operating profit 50 104 -51.6
Group net profit (29) 35 -181.4
Net financial debt (854) (871) -2.0
With regard to GDS’s operating performance, 2011 saw revenues growth of +1.5% compared with the
previous year (+2.4% on a same-structure basis). This translated into an increase in the EBITDA
margin, thanks in part to the increasing focus on improving operating efficiency by the company, which
has completed the lion's share of the plan to restructure central staff functions in the first nine months
of the year ("Plan Social").
EBIT and net profit were affected by extraordinary items totalling about EUR -75.1 million resulting
from the impairment of goodwill (EUR -50.5 million at GDS level for certain regions where the Group
operates), net capital gains related to the sale of clinics and properties (EUR +19.0 million) and other
extraordinary costs (about EUR -43.6 million including EUR -29 million related to the Plan Social).
Net debt improved from EUR -871 million at 31 December 2010 to EUR -854 million at 31 December
2011, taking account of the payment of a dividend totalling EUR 56 million.
The results achieved by GDS in 2011, which were positive from an operating standpoint, were
generated in the context of an economic crisis and a protracted freeze on tariff increases. As already
noted, the company has intensified efforts to increase organisational flexibility and efficiency. The first
step in this direction, which was already seen in the final results for 2011, was the creation of the Plan
Social, which made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of central departments and regional
coordination.
In addition, GDS's management launched a new phase calling for the reorganisation of local activities
with the creation of "centres" that coordinate the operations of several clinics by optimising the
utilisation of facilities and enhancing the specialist expertise of each clinic. The aim of this
reorganisation is to increase GDS's operating efficiency, while strengthening the Group's image as a
symbol of excellence in the French healthcare market. Another significant project launched by the
company was the reduction of purchasing costs.
In 2012, the tariff structure was still restrictive (although better than in previous years): the average
increase forecast for medical, surgical and obstetric services was 0.19%, and 0.29% for psychiatry
(well below the projected inflation rate).
In addition to the aforementioned reorganisation, GDS is completing a plan to group clinics together,
which also involves another three initiatives. It has commenced construction of eight new facilities
including five rehabilitation centres and three psychiatry centres.

- Sigla Luxembourg (parent company of Sigla)
Headquarters: Italy
Sector: Consumer credit
Website: www.siglacredit.it
Investment details:
On 5 October 2007, DeA Capital Investments finalised the acquisition of a stake (currently
41.39%) in Sigla Luxembourg, the holding company that controls Sigla, which operates in
Italy and provides finance to all customer segments.
Brief description:
Sigla, which is recorded in the special list pursuant to art. 107 of the T.U.B. (Italian
consolidated banking law) with effect from 31 March 2011, specialises in the consumer credit
sector in Italy by providing personal loans and "salary-backed loans". It is a benchmark
operator in the provision of financial services to households, and operates throughout Italy
chiefly through a network of agents.
The company’s product range of salary-backed loans and personal loans was expanded in
2011 to include the servicing of portfolios of unsecured non-performing loans (personal loans
and credit cards).
The investment in Sigla Luxembourg, which is reported under “Investments in associates”, is valued at
approximately EUR 22.0 million in the consolidated financial statements to 31 December 2011, in line
with the figure reported at 31 December 2010 (as the company broadly broke even for the period).
Sigla (EUR million) 2011 2010 % chg.
Loans to customers* 83.9 93.5 -10.3
Revenues from loans to customers 4.9 8.3 -40.4
CQS granted 136.2 128.8 +5.7
Revenues from CQS 7.3 7.8 -6.0
Group net profit (0.1) 0.1 n.a.
(*) Net receivables exclude salary-backed loans (CQS)
In terms of Sigla's operating performance, the group's results in 2011 should be seen in the context of
the turbulence affecting the macroeconomic situation and financial markets. In 2011 there was a 5.7%
increase in salary-backed loans in a market that continued to show the signs of weakness seen in 2010
(-9.0% to December 2011). As regards profitability, the company continued to minimise the impact on
net profit of the reduction in revenues from personal loans (caused by the company's gradual shift
towards salary-backed loans, which are typically less capital-intensive), thanks to the effects of
measures to improve operational efficiency (operating costs were down by 28%).

Investments in other companies
- Kenan Investments (indirect parent company of Migros)
Headquarters: Turkey
Sector: Food retail
Website: www.migros.com.tr
Investment details:
In 2008, the DeA Capital Group acquired about 17% of the capital of Kenan Investments, the
company heading the structure to acquire the controlling interest in Migros.
Brief description:
Migros was established in 1954, and is the leading company in the food retail sector in Turkey
with a share of about 34% in the organised retail market.
Growth in the food retail sector in Turkey is a relatively recent phenomenon, brought about
by the transition from traditional systems such as bakkals (small stores typically run by
families) to an increasingly widespread organised distribution model driven by expansion and
the modernisation process under way in Turkey.
The company has a total of 731 outlets (at 30 September 2011) with a total net sales area of
approximately 782,000 square metres.
Migros is present in all seven regions of Turkey, and has a marginal presence abroad in
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Macedonia.
The company operates under the following names: Migros, Tansas and Macrocenter
(supermarkets), 5M (hypermarkets), Ramstore (supermarkets abroad) and Kangurum (online
store).
On 17 February 2011 Migros finalised the sale to third parties of stores located in Azerbaijan
for a total of about TRY 22 million.
On 24 August 2011, Migros also completed the sale of Şok (the discount arm of the group) to
Yildiz Holding Group, a leading Turkish food producer, for around TRY 600 million. The
business sold consisted of some 1,200 supermarkets, with revenues in 2010 of TRY 1.2 billion
(or around 19% of Migros’s consolidated revenues).
The stake in Kenan Investments was recorded in the consolidated financial statements to 31 December
2011 at a value of EUR 127.1 million (compared with EUR 195.0 million at 31 December 2010),
including the capital reimbursement of EUR -31.2 million (part of the distribution of EUR 59 million
received in 2011) and the net decrease in fair value of EUR 36.7 million. This decrease in the fair value
is mostly due to the negative performance of the EUR/TRY exchange rate (2.44 at 31 December 2011
versus 2.05 at end-2010), and to a lesser extent to the decrease in the value of Migros shares (TRY
12.6 per share at 31 December 2011 versus around TRY 14 per share implied in the valuation at 31
December 2010).

Moreover, using the EUR/TRY exchange rate (2.33) and reference price for Migros shares (TRY
16.35/share) on the same date, the valuation of the equity investment in Kenan Investments at 29
February 2012 would be EUR 164.1 million.

(*) Figures for the nine months of 2010 are provided, pending the publication of data to 31 December 2010
In terms of Migros' operating performance (with specific reference to the area of activities that
excludes the discount division sold) compared with the corresponding period in 2010, results at the
end of the third quarter of 2011 showed that revenues grew by 10.5% (mainly due to the opening of
new supermarkets), accompanied by similar growth in operating profit. Net profit was down due to the
impact the devaluation of the Turkish lira (around -22% to September 2011) had on the debt
component in euros.
The Turkish economy continued to grow at a fast pace (+8.2%) in 2011 although international
macroeconomic tensions affected the trend. The food retail sector in Turkey performed particularly
well. Revenues in the sector rose by over 17% due in part to continued growth of 13.5% in commercial
space (source: Migros). The retail food market continued to show the highest growth rate in the
discount segment (> 20%). However, the supermarket business continues to dominate representing
62% of the food retail sector. Migros solidified its leading position in this segment in terms of both
market share and profitability.
The sale of Şok at a price of TRY 600 million was motivated by the desire to focus on the business in
which Migros is a leader by reducing financial leverage and operating losses resulting from the
development of the discount network. The focus on the Migros brand was further strengthened with
the decision to convert around 100 points of sale that were previously under the Tansas brand to the
main brand. This strategy also helped the company to improve efficiency in the supply chain.
For 2012 and the medium term, Migros announced its intention to expand the network by opening
about 100 new points of sale per year. The new openings will mainly be in the form of small
supermarkets of between 150 and 2,500 square metres. Specifically, the 150-350 square metre size
will be used in high-traffic residential areas with a special emphasis on fresh products and a much
broader assortment than in discount stores.

- Other investments
Other investments were valued at about EUR 1 million in the consolidated financial statements to 31
December 2011, a decrease of EUR 15.5 million on 31 December 2010, which was mainly due to the
full write-down of investments in Stepstone and Kovio (totalling around EUR 15.2 million), the sale of
the stake in Mobile Access Networks (EUR 1.3 million) and the investment in Harvip (EUR 1 million).

Website: www.ideasgr.it
Investment details:
At its meeting on 20 July 2011, the Board of Directors of IDeA Capital Funds SGR approved

the shareholder structure of Grandi Navi Veloci S.p.A. through the subscription of a
reserved capital increase, the stake held by IDeA OF I was diluted to 9.21%

third-largest producer of machine-to-machine communications systems in the world
The stake held by OF I was subsequently diluted to 9.13% due to the exercise by the
company's management of stock options.

The units in IDeA OF I are valued at approximately EUR 36.2 million in the consolidated financial
statements to 31 December 2011 (EUR 34.1 million at 31 December 2010) due to net investments of

Headquarters: Italy
Sector: Alternative Asset Management - Private Equity
Investment details:
IDeA Capital Funds SGR is the leading independent Italian asset management company
operating in the management of direct funds and funds of domestic and global private equity
funds. The asset management company manages four closed-end private equity funds
including two funds of funds (IDeA I FoF and ICF II), a "direct" co-investment fund (IDeA OF
I) and a sector fund dedicated to energy efficiency (IDeA EESS).
Although managed through separate investment programmes, the business areas are part of
the same strategy to create value.
The investment programmes of IDeA Capital Funds SGR, which are regulated by the Bank of
Italy and Consob, leverage the management team's and sponsors' wealth of experience in
the sector.
The investment strategies of funds of funds focus on building a diversified portfolio in private
equity funds in the top quartile or that are next-generation leaders with balanced asset
allocation through diversification by:
 Industry
 Investment strategy and stage (buy-outs, venture capital, special situations, etc.)
 Geographical region (Europe, US and the rest of the world)
 Year (commitments with diluted investment periods over time)
The investment strategies of the "direct" co-investment fund focus on minority interests in
medium to large-sized LBOs together with leading qualified investors with businesses that
primarily concentrate on Europe, and diversification as a function of the appeal of individual
sectors by limiting investments during the early stage and excluding purely real estate
investments.
The investment philosophy of sector funds such as EESS is focused on growth capital and
buyout private equity to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises with

excellent products or services in the energy efficiency and sustainable growth arena.
Investments in infrastructure for the generation of energy from renewable sources or early
stage investments can be made in compliance with regulatory restrictions. The main
geographical focus of these funds is Italy.

- IDeA FIMIT SGR
Headquarters: Italy
Sector: Alternative Asset Management - Real Estate
Website: www.firstatlantic.it
Investment details:
On 3 October 2011, in executing the merger deed concluded between FARE SGR and FIMIT
SGR on 26 September 2011, as approved by their respective shareholders' meetings after
obtaining the favourable opinion of the Italian Competition Authority and the approval of the
Bank of Italy, the merger of FARE SGR and FIMIT SGR was completed. At the same time, the
latter changed its name to IDeA FIMIT SGR.
At the same time as the merger, the other steps for the acquisition of control of IDeA FIMIT
SGR by DeA Capital S.p.A. came into effect, namely:
 the purchase by DeA Capital S.p.A. from Feidos S.p.A. (a company owned by Massimo
Caputi) of a 58.31% stake in IFIM S.r.l. (IFIM), which in turn holds a 17.15% (pre-
merger) stake in FIMIT SGR
 the acquisition by IFIM from LBREP III Fimit S.a.r.l. of the stake held by the latter in
FIMIT SGR, equal to 18% (pre-merger) of the share capital of FIMIT SGR
Following the series of planned operations, FARE Holding has a stake of 40.32% and IFIM a
stake of 20.98% in the new IDeA FIMIT SGR. Both these companies are controlled by DeA
Capital S.p.A.
IDeA FIMIT SGR is the largest real estate asset management company in Italy, with around
EUR 9.5 billion in assets under management and 24 managed funds (including five listed
funds). This puts it among the major partners of Italian and international institutional
investors in promoting, creating and managing closed-end mutual investment real estate
funds.
IDeA FIMIT SGR undertakes three main lines of business:
 the development of real estate mutual investment funds dedicated to institutional
clients and private investors
 the promotion of innovative real estate financial instruments to satisfy investors’
increasing demands
 the professional management (technical, administrative and financial) of real estate
funds with the assistance of in-house experts as well as the best independent
technical, legal and tax advisors on the market
The company has concentrated its investment in transactions with low risk, a stable return,
low volatility, simple financial structure and, most importantly, an emphasis on real estate
value.
In particular, the asset management company specialises in "core" and "core plus" properties,
but its major investments also include important "value added" transactions.
Due in part to successful transactions concluded in recent years, the asset management
company is able to rely on a panel of prominent unit-holders consisting of Italian and

international investors with a high standing such as pension funds, bank and insurance
groups, capital companies and sovereign funds.

In terms
of the operating performance of IDeA FIMIT SGR, the comparison between the income statement
figures in the financial statements to 31 December 2011 and the income statement for the year ending
31 December 2010 is not very meaningful due to changes in the basis of consolidation that occurred in
2011. Thus, a pro-forma income statement was prepared for 2011 which simulates the effects of the
merger as if it had occurred on 1 January 2011.
