Our Active Strategy Lowers The Risk

1. We invest at “seed” level when valuation is at its lowest • Often we are involved structuring the deal for ourselves • Keep large warrant positions and/or debt for upside and

protection

2. We maintain active role as a company partner • Assist management in early stages • Leverage F&M network to recruit key operational people • Retain board seat(s)

3. We offer diversification

• Diversified over number of investments (commodity exposure, stage of development, etc.)

• Maintain financial flexibility for new opportunities while giving shareholders good upside exposure to our successes.
