Report on Operations

1. Profile of DeA Capital S.p.A.
With an investment portfolio of around EUR 870 million and assets under management
of over EUR 10,600 million, DeA Capital S.p.A. is 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.
With reference to the Private Equity Investment business, 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 the Alternative Asset Management business, DeA Capital S.p.A. – through its
subsidiaries IDeA FIMIT SGR and IDeA Capital Funds SGR – is Italy’s leading operator in
real estate fund management and private equity funds of funds programmes,
respectively. The two companies are active in the promotion, management and value
enhancement of investment funds, using approaches based on sector experience and
the ability to identify opportunities for achieving the best returns. As Alternative Asset
Management focuses on managing funds with a medium-term to long-term duration, it
generates cash flows that are relatively stable over time for DeA Capital S.p.A. This, in
turn, enables the company to cover the typically longer investment cycle of the private
equity investment sector.

With regard to the corporate structure shown above, on 1 January 2012, the merger by
incorporation of the wholly-owned subsidiary IDeA Alternative Investments into DeA
Capital S.p.A., which was decided by the Boards of Directors of these companies on 26 July
2011, became effective.
On 28 March 2012, an agreement was signed with Deb Holding, a company controlled
by the director Daniel Buaron that holds 30% of the share capital of FARE Holding. The
purpose of the agreement was to bring forward, with effect from 24 April 2012, the exercise of
the option to sell the stake in FARE Holding held by Deb Holding to DeA Capital S.p.A. Under
the agreements stipulated, on 24 April 2012 DeA Capital S.p.A. took full control of FARE
Holding, and changed the company name of FARE Holding and its subsidiaries FARE and FAI,
to DeA Capital Real Estate, IDeA Servizi Immobiliari and IDeA Agency respectively. At
the end of November 2012, these two companies were re-named Innovation Real Estate
(IRE) and Innovation Real Estate Advisory (IRE Advisory) respectively.
On 11 April 2012, an agreement was signed with Massimo Caputi and the company
he controls, Feidos S.p.A., which together own a stake of 41.69% in I.F.IM. (IFIM), which in
turn holds a stake of 20.98% in IDeA FIMIT SGR. The purpose of the agreement was to bring
forward, to this date, the exercise of the option to sell the stakes in IFIM held by Massimo
Caputi and Feidos to DeA Capital S.p.A. Following the transaction, DeA Capital S.p.A. acquired
full control of IFIM.
In October 2012, the DeA Capital Group launched its plan to exit from the investment advisory
business carried out by IDeA SIM. This was effected via an agreement with the company’s
CEO to withdraw the powers conferred on him, the cancellation of the active asset
management agreements and, from 15 November 2012, the termination of the investment
advisory service. Approving the company’s application, Consob issued resolution 18466 of 13
February 2013, which revoked IDeA SIM’s authorisation to provide investment services
pursuant to art. 1, para. 5f) of Legislative Decree 58 of 24 February 1998. It also removed the

company from the register of real estate brokerage companies. Lastly, on 25 February 2013, in
compliance with the provisions of various agreements, DeA Capital S.p.A. acquired the shares
held by the former CEO of IDeA SIM, equal to 30% of its capital, bringing its investment to
95% of the company’s capital.
To complete the changes made to the Group's corporate structure, on 29 November 2012,
Soprarno SGR’s shareholder structure was restructured with the resulting reduction in DeA
Capital S.p.A.’s equity investment from 65% to 20%, via the following transactions:
- the sale by DeA Capital S.p.A. of 25% of Soprarno SGR to Banca Ifigest S.p.A. (Ifigest),
for a payment of EUR 0.5 million, with the simultaneous cancellation of the option for
Ifigest to sell its stake in Soprarno SGR to DeA Capital S.p.A., for the same amount
- a capital increase in kind carried out via the transfer of the asset management business
held by Cassa di Risparmio di San Miniato (CARISMI) to Soprarno SGR: the business
was valued at around EUR 4.5 million (in line with the value attributed to Soprarno
SGR).

At 31 December 2012, the DeA Capital Group reported Group shareholders’ equity of EUR
723.1 million, corresponding to a net asset value (NAV) of EUR 2.63 per share, with an
investment portfolio of EUR 873.1 million.
More specifically, the investment portfolio, which consists of private equity investments of EUR
464.7 million, private equity investment funds of EUR 180.8 million and net assets relating to
the Alternative Asset Management business of EUR 227.6 million breaks down as follows.

 Share buy-back plan
On 17 April 2012, the shareholders’ meeting approved a new plan to buy and sell own shares.
The plan cancelled and replaced the previous plan authorised by the shareholders’ meeting on
19 April 2011, which was scheduled to expire on 19 October 2012. The new plan will have the
same objectives as the previous one, including the purchase of own shares to be used for
extraordinary operations and share incentive plans, offering shareholders a means of
monetising their investment, stabilising the share price and regulating trading within the limits
of the legislation in force.
The authorisation specifies that purchases may be carried out, for a maximum period of 18
months starting from 17 April 2012, in accordance with all procedures allowed by current
regulations, and that DeA Capital S.p.A. may also sell the shares purchased for the purposes of
trading. The unit price for the purchase of the shares is set 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 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 individual sale (apart from in certain
exceptional cases specified in the plan). Sale transactions may also be carried out for trading
purposes.
Also on 17 April 2012, the company’s Board of Directors voted to initiate the plan to buy and
sell own shares authorised by the shareholders’ meeting, and to this end vested the Chairman
of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer with all the necessary powers, to be
exercised jointly or severally and with full powers of delegation.

 Stock option and performance share plans
On 17 April 2012, the shareholders’ meeting approved the DeA Capital Stock Option Plan
2012–2014. To implement the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the Board of Directors
of DeA Capital S.p.A., at its meeting held on the same day, allocated a total of 1,030,000
options to certain employees of the company and its subsidiaries and of the Parent Company,
De Agostini S.p.A., who perform important roles for the company.
In line with the criteria specified in the regulations governing the DeA Capital Stock Option
Plan 2012–14, the Board of Directors also set the exercise price for the options allocated at
EUR 1.3363, which is the arithmetic mean of the official prices 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 17 March 2012 and 16 April
2012.
The shareholders’ meeting also approved a paid capital increase, in divisible form, without
option rights, via the issue of a maximum of 1,350,000 ordinary shares to service the DeA
Capital Stock Option Plan 2012-2014.
The shareholders’ meeting also approved the Performance Share Plan 2012–2014. To
implement the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the Board of Directors allocated a total
of 302,500 units (representing the right to receive ordinary shares of the company, free of
charge, under the terms and conditions of the plan) to certain employees of the company and
its subsidiaries and of the Parent Company, De Agostini S.p.A., who perform important roles
for the Company.
Shares allocated due to the vesting of units will be drawn from own shares already held by the
company.
The terms and conditions of the DeA Capital Stock Option Plan 2012–2014 and the
Performance Share Plan 2012-2014 are described in the Information Prospectus prepared in
accordance with art. 84-bis of Consob Resolution 11971 of 14 May 1999 (Issuer Regulations),
available to the public at the registered office of DeA Capital S.p.A. and on the company’s
website www.deacapital.it in the section Corporate Governance/Incentive Plans.
 Co-option of a new director
On 4 May 2012, non-executive director Alberto Dessy resigned. Mr Dessy, who was lead
independent director, was also Chairman of the Control and Risk Committee, a member of the
Remuneration Committee and a member of the Supervisory Board of DeA Capital S.p.A. His
decision was due to an increase in professional commitments incompatible with continuing to
hold the various offices in DeA Capital S.p.A.
On 14 May 2012, the Board of Directors co-opted Severino Salvemini as a non-executive,
independent director to replace Alberto Dessy, pursuant to art. 11 of the articles of association
and art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.
After verifying that Severino Salvemini met the requirements of independence, the Board of
Directors approved the appointment of Salvemini as Chairman of the Control and Risk
Committee, lead independent director and a member of the Remuneration Committee and the
Supervisory Board of DeA Capital S.p.A.

 IDeA FIMIT – Acquisition of the Duemme SGR business division
On 1 July 2012, the deed of transfer signed by IDeA FIMIT SGR and Duemme SGR for the
business division comprising real estate mutual investment funds managed by Duemme SGR
(a subsidiary of the Banca Esperia Group specialising in asset management services) became
effective.
With the transfer of the business division, IDeA FIMIT SGR has taken over the management of
eight funds with a total value of around EUR 500 million.
This transaction confirms IDeA FIMIT SGR’s position as Italian leader in the sector with 31 real
estate funds managed, and puts it among the major real estate asset management companies
in Europe, thanks also to the expansion of its circle of institutional investors.
 IDeA FIMIT SGR – Award of the AMA tender
On 8 October 2012, IDeA FIMIT SGR was awarded the tender organised by Azienda Municipale
Ambiente S.p.A. (AMA), Rome, to manage some of its real estate assets.
AMA, Rome’s leading operator in environmental services, identified IDeA FIMIT’s bid as the
best solution for the creation and management of a real estate investment fund. The fund will
manage assets comprising 56 buildings, all located in the Rome region and primarily
designated for office use, with an estimated value of EUR 140-160 million.
The new fund will have a maximum duration of ten years and will become operational in early
2013.
The Group’s technical bid, which had a relative weight of 70% with the financial proposal
accounting for the remainder, was crucial in its selection. This demonstrated the quality of
IDeA FIMIT SGR’s bid from a management viewpoint.
 Innovation Real Estate – Acquisition of a property and facility management
business division of Ingenium Real Estate S.p.A.
On 10 December 2012, the deed of transfer of a property, agency and facility management
business division of Ingenium Real Estate S.p.A. (the Ingenium business division) to IRE
became effective.
The Ingenium business division provides services in the real estate sector, and specifically:
 legal and administrative assistance for the sale and purchase of real estate (legal
assistance)
 management of communal services in apartment blocks, as well as insurance, tax and
contractual matters relating to real estate (property and facility management)
 planning and analysis of building works (project and construction management)
These activities are predominantly but not exclusively carried out for the real estate funds
managed by IDeA FIMIT SGR.

 Capital strengthening of the corporate chain of command at GDS
As part of a capital strengthening plan for the corporate chain of command at GDS, on 27
December 2012, DeA Capital Investments – a fully-owned company of DeA Capital S.p.A. and
direct shareholder of 42.89% of Santé/SDE/GDS – acquired a tranche of mezzanine bonds for
a nominal price of around EUR 25.8 million, issued by SDE. The sale and purchase – carried
out with a related-party company of the De Agostini Group - was finalised with a vendor loan
of the same amount with an expiry date of October 2017 and an interest rate equal to Euribor
+ 200 basis points. In practice, this means that it was broadly carried out under the same
financial conditions as those currently applied to the credit lines granted to DeA Capital
S.p.A.).
Subsequently, the above-mentioned tranche of mezzanine bonds was converted, via a complex
corporate transaction, into a quasi-equity loan granted to Santé, the sole shareholder of SDE,
with a maximum expiry date of October 2018 and an interest rate equal to Euribor + 1,000
basis points (with the interest payable in kind up to the expiry date).
As mentioned above, these transactions were intended to strengthen the capital of the
corporate chain of command of GDS, especially of its equity investments Santé and SDE, as
the new quasi-equity loan is subordinated to the other credit lines granted to the companies
(although senior in the repayment plan to Santé’s equity loan).
Note that in relation to the other credit lines granted to Santé and SDE, at 31 December 2012,
all the financial parameters stipulated by the relevant agreements had been met, especially
the “leverage ratio” of net debt/EBITDA.
The Group will continue to continuously monitor the company’s economic and financial
performance in 2013 with a view to preventing – or at least minimising – any difficulties in
meeting the financial parameters in the loan agreements relating to the various companies
that make up the corporate chain of command.

5. The DeA Capital Group’s results
Consolidated results for the period relate to the operations of the DeA Capital Group in the
following businesses:
 Private Equity Investment, which includes the reporting units involved in 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 current focus on the management of
private equity and real estate funds
 PRIVATE EQUITY
2012 was a year dominated by uncertainty, and one in which political tensions had a harmful
effect on the global economy. However, the picture gradually improved in the second half of
the year, when financial tensions abated, leading to a reduction in the spread in the eurozone,
and growth on the international equity markets.
The IMF’s latest estimates forecast growth of 3.5% in the global economy. Specifically the
advanced economies are expected to experience growth of 1.4% (2% for the US and -0.2% for
the eurozone) and emerging economies growth of 5.5%. The central banks’ actions have
considerably reduced the serious risks associated with the crisis in the eurozone, and in the
US, where a solution to the country’s fiscal problems was found after President Obama’s re-
election in November. Moreover, while economic activity picked up in some emerging
countries, others continued to struggle due to weak external demand.
The IMF think that there could, however, be a positive surprise, with a more sustained
recovery than expected, if the risks connected with the crisis do not materialise and financial
conditions continue to improve. However, the risk of a deterioration remains significant and is
still associated with eurozone-related issues and the danger of excessive fiscal consolidation in
the US.
Against this macroeconomic backdrop, volatility on the international financial markets, after
peaking in the middle of the year, continued to lessen. The default risk, measured by the five-
year Credit Default Swaps (CDS), of the major eurozone countries also continued to fall. This is
thanks to the positive effect of the various governments’ actions to tackle the crisis and
strengthen the European Union, and the political and fiscal events in the US.
All the major international equities markets recorded positive returns in local currency in 2012.
Specifically, indices in the US were positive (+13.4% for the S&P 500 and +15.9% for the
Nasdaq) as were those in Japan (+22.9% for the Nikkei 225) and Europe, where, along with
Germany (+29.1% for the Dax 30) and France (+15.2% for the CAC 40), Italy also returned to
positive territory (+7.8% for the FTSE MIB). Emerging countries also recorded positive
returns: +5.2% in Russia, +25.7% in India, +7.4% in Brazil and +3.2% in China.
In common with the equities markets, bond markets also showed a general improvement in
terms of reduced risk aversion. In Italy, the yield spread on ten-year treasury certificates
against their German bund counterparts reduced by nearly 200 points, closing at 316 basis
points; to a lesser extent, the default risk also fell, returning to July 2011 levels and closing
the year at 286 basis points.

Spain also seemed to have overcome its worst period, which culminated in July with the
approval of a EUR 100 billion bailout programme to recapitalise its banks.
The key events that will probably attract the attention of the markets in the short term relate
to the management of the public debt problem in the US (the statutory obligation to keep US
public debt below a specific ceiling), the impact of the political elections in Italy and Germany,
and the expected decisions on the Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) or the “anti-spread
plan”, and unified banking supervision under the authority of the ECB.
Investment prospects and the outlook for the European and global private equity
markets
Despite the continuing uncertainty surrounding the economy, the private equity business (PE)
seems to be heading towards a return to normality. Unlike the turn of events in 2011, the
second half of 2012 was much better than the first half, leading to positive expectations for the
near future. The improvement was mainly due to the recovery in the private equity sector in
the US, where encouraging signs shown by the real estate market, together with the healthy
credit system and positive GDP growth, led to a more optimistic approach to dealing with the
debt ceiling (although an agreed plan has not yet been finalised).
Public attention on the sector in the US is still high in the wake of the recent election
campaign. Furthermore, the legislative framework has been supplemented with a number of
significant changes. In North America, management companies, which are required to register
with the SEC, will be audited by the supervisory authorities in the next few years. In Europe,
the enactment of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) will impose
stringent compliance obligations. Another legislative restriction, Solvency II, will have
repercussions on insurance companies in the future, as it imposes capital adequacy
requirements that aim to increase protection against the higher risks of investing in private
equity.
The dynamics of the relationships between general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs) of
funds were similar to those seen in 2011. The larger funds proposed innovative incentive
schemes to investors to attract them in the first closing, including reduced fees and priority
processing in certain cases. Other funds that are particularly sought-after by institutional
investors, on the other hand, have imposed onerous terms and conditions on their subscribers.
Lastly, the natural selection process operating among managers became more noticeable, as
LPs tended to reduce the number of relationships with GPs. Driven by this trend, the larger
listed operators (Blackstone, KKR, Apollo and from this year, Carlyle) further diversified their
product range in accordance with the demands of their investors, adding funds dedicated to
specific investment and geographical themes.

Investment activity declined slightly compared with 2011, although the half-yearly figure
shows positive signs. In the second half of 2012, the figure was over 30% higher than in the
same period of 2011. The main driver of the recovery in investment, as indicated previously,
was activity in the US, which was supported in large part by a favourable credit market. The
situation is different in Europe, however, as access to credit is still very difficult. The emerging
markets remained at the same levels as in previous years.

The volume of divestments of companies owned by buy-out funds fell slightly (by around 10%
compared with 2011). However, encouraging signs began to appear in the second half of 2012,
although they varied according to the individual geographical area. In numerical terms, “trade
sale” transactions represent 55% of the total. This value is mainly based on the availability of
cash of the strategic operators. Note also that the number of initial public offerings (IPOs) fell

markedly due to the ongoing high level of volatility in the financial markets. A possible feature
of 2013 could be an increase in exit transactions arising from sales to other private equity
funds, given the need to sell off equity investments acquired before 2008 and the high level of
dry powder in the market.
However, the positive trend in fund raising, which emerged in 2011, continued in 2012 (+5%
year-on-year and +15% compared with the second half of 2011). The biggest contribution to
the growth of capital collections comes from some North American mega buy-out funds.
Although Europe does not seem particularly attractive in the eyes of investors, fund raising
was slightly positive. It could be that investors’ interest is motivated by the opportunity to
obtain access to good transactions, given the limited level of liquidity in the system. We
therefore assume that Europe is still an attractive geographical area from the point of view of
private equity. In absolute terms, there has also been a slight decrease in the value of
collections of funds focused on emerging markets.

As shown in figure 7, in 2012 and to some extent in the previous year, global reimbursements
exceeded capital calls, confirming that the industry is primarily going through a divestment
phase.
It is also possible to detect a number of investment themes associated with the current
uncertain situation.
 In Europe, the increase in fund raising is mainly due to the rise in the number of
operators specialising in loan and distressed strategies. The relative disappearance of
CLOs (collateralised loan obligations) and the restricted financial activity of credit
institutions has opened the door to specialist operators, creating a channel which, given
the limited competition, could generate attractive returns with coupon payments and a
low risk profile. Moreover, the restructuring of many buy-out transactions could also
reveal favourable returns for special situation funds
 In the US, funds that aim to help investee companies return to efficiency and value
creation through operating improvements are also becoming more numerous, as are
funds focusing on specific sectors, especially energy
 In emerging markets, opportunities mainly arise from the more mature trends, such as
the growth in consumption associated with the increased purchasing power of the
middle classes, and urbanisation
Private equity in Italy
Statistics prepared by AIFI (the Italian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association) and
currently updated to the first half of 2012, show that the difficulties continued into the first half
of the year, with a 17% decline in fund raising compared with the same period of 2011.
The number of new investments fell from 159 to 147, with a total value of EUR 868 million, i.e.
a decline of 43% on the same period of 2011. As regards the amount, the bulk of the
resources invested, in line with previous years, went into buy-out transactions, which attracted
EUR 512 million. This figure, however, is more or less half that recorded in the same period of
the previous year (-56%), due to the lack of high-value transactions.
The early-stage sector had the highest number of transactions, overtaking the expansion
sector, with 55 investments (+10%), more than half of which were invested in high-tech
companies.
As regards divestments, 44 equity investments were sold in the first half of 2012, or 41%
fewer than in the same period of 2011. The amount divested, calculated at historical
acquisition cost, was EUR 141 million, compared with EUR 2,337 million in the first half of
2011 (-94%). This is due to the fact that very high individual sales were made in 2011,
whereas no such sales were made in 2012.

 REAL ESTATE IN EUROPE
Direct investment in non-residential real estate in Europe, which amounted to EUR 120.4
billion in 2012, was in line with the previous year . A very positive sign emerged in the fourth
quarter with transactions totalling EUR 41.5 billion (an increase of 16% compared with 4Q
2011 and 48% versus the previous quarter)1
.
The office market experienced an excellent year in 2012, with a 24% increase in activity year-
on-year; nearly 60% of transactions in the office sector were in London, Paris and the five
main cities in Germany. This helped consolidate the positions of London and Paris among the
ten main cities with the highest volumes of investment, with London stable at number one.
Despite the continuous demand for excellent-quality real estate for shopping centres, as shown
in the various large-scale agreements made in the fourth quarter, investment volumes in the
retail sector fell for the whole year, compared with the previous year. Investment volumes in
Europe’s retail real estate market (excluding high street property) totalled EUR 19.4 billion,
down on the figure of EUR 31.3 billion in 2011, due to the scarcity of properties on the market.
In 2012, net investment in Europe by investors outside the region increased by 36% compared
with 2011. In Europe there were eight cross-border agreements with a value of over EUR 500
million in the fourth quarter of 2012. These volumes are evidence of investors’ interest in real
estate opportunities, especially in the main markets such as the UK, Germany, France and
Sweden.
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.
In Italy
In 2012, the Italian market of investment in non-residential real estate totalled around EUR
1.7 billion, which was less than the level achieved in the first half of 2011. As a percentage of
total investment in Europe, it fell from 3.6% to 1.4%. In the fourth quarter of 2012, only EUR
458 million was invested. These figures are the lowest recorded in Italy in the last ten years.
Real estate transactions in Milan, which totalled only EUR 140 million in the fourth quarter,
were no higher than EUR 500 million in 2012. In the fourth quarter, the take-up volume was
around 52,000 m², bringing the annual total to 239,000 m². While the market declined by
12% in the quarter, year-on-year it fell by 29% compared with 2011. In Rome, investment
was rather low, at EUR 150 million, bringing the annual total to EUR 622 million, a decline of
25% on 2011 and 50% lower than in 2010. In the fourth quarter, 19,800 m² of office space
was taken up, bringing the annual total to only 66,500 m². The downward trend that started in
the second half of 2011 continued in this quarter, leading to the recording of the lowest
volume in Rome in the last seven years2

Real estate funds in Italy
In 2012, according to Scenari Immobiliari estimates, assets managed by real estate funds rose
by 1.5% over the previous year despite the gloomy economic environment. At the end of
2012, the 329 existing funds directly controlled real estate assets of around EUR 47.1 billion.

Around 61% of investment is concentrated in the office sector, which had the most
transactions in 2012 (44% of the total); 20% relates to the commercial sector and barely 3%
to the residential and other sector.
Analysis by Scenari Immobiliari on the retail and reserved funds industry shows that total net
asset value (NAV) increased from EUR 36.1 billion to EUR 37.2 billion.

With regard to retail property funds, the study by Scenari Immobiliari reported a decrease in
direct real estate assets of around 8.9% to approximately EUR 6.8 billion. The total use of
financial leverage, at 52%, fell slightly compared with 2011.
The total NAV of retail property funds at end-2012 was around EUR 5.4 billion, representing a
reduction of around 11% on the same period of 2011.

The average discount to NAV for listed funds was around 59% at end-2012, compared with
46% at end-2011.
The number of operating funds rose, although at a lower rate than expected, and a modest
decrease is projected for 2013. Positive expectations for NAV growth in 2013 are associated
with the projected creation of one or more funds for public buildings and possible contributions
to the real estate funds of banks to continue the process of reducing financial leverage.
Italian real estate funds saw substantial stability in property prices at the expense of a
markedly greater reduction in the volume of transactions. The Italian real estate market is
becoming increasingly illiquid, and operators believe that the upturn in investment will have to
take place via a “repricing” of properties, which have seen a modest decline of around 10-12%
since 2008 along with a similar reduction in rents. Property prices are expected to fall over the
next few quarters, partly because many investors will be forced to liquidate their assets.
According to Bank of Italy figures, 58 real estate funds, totalling EUR 5.2 billion, are currently
in liquidation. Over 75% of retail property funds are due to expire in the next two years.
In the first six months of 2012, real estate of just EUR 292 million was acquired, a significant
decline of EUR 1,633 million on the previous year’s volume (according to Assogestioni data).
Sales followed the same trend, falling from EUR 1,221 million in the first half of 2011 to EUR
609 million in the first six months of 2012.

The latest figures provided by the Osservatorio sul Mercato Immobiliare (OMI) of the Italian
Land Agency3
show a significant fall in the volumes of sales and purchases of real estate. In
the first three quarters of 2012, sales and purchases fell by 18%, 25% and 26% respectively,
compared with transactions in the first three quarters of 2011.
The residential sector, which represents around 45% of the entire property market, recorded
the worst performance in the third quarter of 2012, with around 96,000 transactions and a
decline of 27% in property transactions compared with the same period of the previous year
and 20% versus the previous quarter.
Non-residential sectors also recorded significantly lower volumes in the first three quarters of
2013. The biggest falls were in the tertiary sector, which reported a decrease of 28% in the
volume of sales and purchases in the third quarter, while the commercial and production
sectors declined by 30% and 26% respectively. All sectors have been at the lowest level on
the index of the number of normalised transactions (an index calculated by the Land Agency)
since 2004.
The office market, which is historically the most significant non-residential real estate market,
reported an increase in investment compared with 2011, rising from 35% to 44% of total
investment. Interest in office property picked up in the fourth quarter compared with previous
quarters, with the result that the sector represented 87% of the volumes for the quarter. This
was due to the sale by IDeA FIMIT SGR of two properties for office use in Milan and Rome with
low returns, as they are ideally located and well positioned4
.
In all sectors, the fall in prices led to a slight increase in yields. At the end of 2012, according
to BNP Real Estate data, net prime returns were as follows: 5.6% in Milan and 6.1% in Rome
for office property, 6.6% for shopping centres and 7.75% for the industrial and logistics sector.

Equity 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 2012, the DeA Capital Group's stake was 42.89% (i.e. 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-2012.
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 approximately 19,400 employees and 106 clinics in total. In addition, it is
the main independent association of doctors in France (over 5,000 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 reported under “Investments in associates”, is valued at
approximately EUR 226.1 million in the consolidated financial statements to 31 December 2012
(EUR 235.2 million at 31 December 2011). The change compared with the figure reported at
31 December 2011 is attributable to the net loss of EUR 10.8 million for the period combined
with other increases in equity of EUR 1.7 million (largely due to the increase in fair value of
interest rate swaps taken out to hedge the interest rate risk on debt exposure).

Générale de Santé (EUR million) 2012 2011 % Chg.
Revenues 1,929 1,955 -1.4%
EBITDA 240 249 -3.7%
EBIT 134 50 167.0%
Group net profit 56 (29) n.a.
Net financial debt (769) (854) -10.0%
With regard to GDS’s operating performance, revenues in 2012 were slightly down on the
previous year, but up by 2.5% on a same-structure basis (stripping out the impact on the
2011 figures of the clinics sold during that year). This was achieved as the new clinics that
were opened during the period (two rehabilitation clinics, two psychiatric clinics and one in
medicine, surgery and obstetrics) gradually became fully operational and as a result of growth
in the volume of activities.
With specific reference to the final figures to 31 December 2012, a comparison of the EBIT and
net result with the previous year’s figures shows that these were affected by one-off costs
relating to the Plan Social completed in 2011 (with an effect on the net result of around EUR -
19 million), goodwill impairment (EUR –50.5 million) relating to some of the geographical
areas in which the Group operates, and the capital gains made on the clinics that were sold in
2012 (EUR 29 million).
The net financial position of EUR -769 million at 31 December 2012 represents an
improvement on the figure of EUR -854 million at 31 December 2011 thanks partly to the
receipts from the clinics that were sold.
Note however that this growth in revenues occurred against a backdrop of mounting pressure
to grow the top line, influenced by (i) trends in demand (a gradual shift in the mix of services
offered towards outpatients provision, which has a lower unit cost/lower margins compared
with full hospitalisation, and the postponement by patients of non-urgent treatment due to the
economic crisis); and (ii) the regulatory framework and the definition of the provision of
hospital services (increasing competitive pressure from public operators, which benefit from
heavy government investment through discretionary components in the health budget, which
offset the unfavourable trend in prices).
As regards the institutional framework in 2013, while on the one hand, tariffs are likely to
continue to be restrictive, with forecasts of a fall of 0.55% in tariffs in the medicine, surgery
and obstetrics sector, on the other, government initiatives to support economic activity are
likely to increase. An example is the package of measures to improve the competitiveness of
French companies (which includes, inter alia, the competitiveness and employment tax credit,
CICE), which should at least partly alleviate the effects on companies of the unfavourable
economic climate.
This trend in revenues, combined with the partial rigidity in the cost structure, makes it clear
that, in order to maintain expected profit levels, it is essential that the planned reorganisation
into “hubs” (chains of clinics that optimise provision of the service by tailoring it to the
requirements of the relevant geographical area) takes full effect, and that the cost savings
initiatives launched relating to significant items of expenditure also bear fruit.

- 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 consumer credit for non-specific purposes.
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 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
2010 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 “Equity investments in
associates”, is valued at approximately EUR 12.3 million in the consolidated financial
statements to 31 December 2012 (EUR 22.0 million at 31 December 2011). The decrease
compared with 31 December 2011 relates to the EUR 0.7 million loss for the period and an
impairment charge of EUR 9.0 million to align the carrying value with the company’s pro-rata
share of the net asset value at the same date.
Sigla (EUR million) 2012 2011 % Chg.
Loans to customers* 81.7 83.9 -2.6%
Revenues from loans to customers 3.6 4.9 -26.1%
CQS granted 78.2 136.2 -42.6%
Revenues from CQS 3.6 7.3 -50.5%
Group net profit (1.7) (0.1) n.a.
* Net receivables exclude salary-backed loans (CQS)
Sigla’s operating performance in 2012 declined at all levels of the income statement compared
with the previous year, due mainly to the contraction in the number of salary-backed loans
(CQS) granted (a typically less capital-intensive product, on which the Group has gradually
repositioned itself). At 31 December 2012, it recorded a fall of 42.6% compared with the same
period of the previous year.
Although the Group considers that Sigla is in a good position as regards the restructuring of
the salary-backed loans business being undertaken following the entry into force of the new
legislation required by the Regulator (increased pricing transparency and a reduction in the
number of intermediate levels in the existing value chain between the organisation that grants
the loan and the consumer, with the resulting sector concentration), the general
macroeconomic scenario has forced us to make the above-mentioned impairment on the
goodwill implicit in the carrying value. Specifically, the ongoing effects of the economic crisis

on the propensity to spend, together with the consequences arising from the deleveraging
requirements of banks that grant salary-backed loans, have led to much longer times for top-
line growth than were originally reflected in the asset valuation.

Equity 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 874 outlets (at 30 September 2012) with a total net sales area of
approximately 850,000 square metres.
Migros is present in all seven regions of Turkey, and has a marginal presence in Kazakhstan
and Macedonia.
The company operates under the following names: Migros, Tansas and Macrocenter
(supermarkets), 5M (hypermarkets), Ramstore (supermarkets abroad) and Kangurum (online
store).
One of the main extraordinary transactions completed by Migros was the sale of discount arm
Şok on 24 August 2011 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’ consolidated revenues).
The equity investment in Kenan Investments is recorded in the consolidated financial
statements to 31 December 2012 at EUR 223.6 million (compared with EUR 127.1 million at 31
December 2011). The increase of EUR 96.5 million was due to the rise in the value of Migros
shares (TRY 21.5 per share at 31 December 2012, compared with approximately TRY 12.6 per
share at 31 December 2011), and the strengthening of the Turkish lira against the euro (2.36
TRY/EUR at 31 December 2012 versus 2.44 TRY/EUR at 31 December 2011). The effect on the
DeA Capital Group’s NAV of this change in fair value was partially offset by the provisioning of
estimated carried interest of around EUR 12.8 million, to be paid to the lead investor, BC
Partners, based on the total capital gain. This was partly recognised in the income statement
(EUR 3.0 million) and partly recognised in the fair value reserve (EUR 9.8 million).

With regard to the macro-economic environment, the Turkish economy recorded GDP growth
of around 2.6% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2012; the slowdown in economic
growth (from a rate of 8.5% in 2011) helped the country to reduce the current account deficit,
which contributed to the raising of its country rating to investment grade by Fitch last
November for the first time. This in turn led to a stabilisation in the exchange rate.
The food retail sector in Turkey remained buoyant in the first nine months of 2012, with
sustained growth in commercial space (11.6% in 12 months) and in the supermarket sector
(13.1% yoy), which maintained its dominant position.
In terms of Migros’ operating performance, revenues grew by 13.6% in the first nine months
of 2012 (the scope of activities for which does not include the discount division sold in August
2011), driven by the expansion of the network of sales outlets (143 new supermarkets were
opened in 12 months), accompanied by more modest growth in EBITDA, and broadly stable
profit. The net result increased, due to the revaluation of the debt component in Euro following
the rise of the Turkish lira.
Note that Migros has confirmed its intention, for the medium term, to maintain a sustained
rate of expansion of its network, by opening between 100 and 150 new supermarkets a year,
with a focus on areas of 150-350 square metres (with a particular emphasis on fresh products,
a growing proportion of private label products and a much broader choice than offered by
discount stores), as well as one to two hypermarkets each year.
This growth strategy has led the company to issue guidance of double-digit revenue growth
and an EBITDA margin within the range of 6-6.5% for 2012-2013.

Sector: Private Equity
Website: www.ideasgr.it
Investment details:
IDeA OF I is a closed-end fund under Italian law for qualified investors, which began activity
on 9 May 2008 and is managed by IDeA Capital Funds SGR.
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 to IDeA Opportunity Fund I (IDeA OF I) and extending investment
opportunities to qualified minority interests, independently or via syndicates.
The DeA Capital Group has a total commitment of up to EUR 101.8 million in the fund.
Brief description:
IDeA OF I has total assets of approximately EUR 217 million. Its objective is to invest via
syndicates with a lead investor, independently, or by purchasing qualified minority interests.
At 31 December 2012, IDeA OF I had called up approximately 68.9% of the total
commitment after making eight investments:
- on 8 October 2008, it acquired a 5% stake in Giochi Preziosi S.p.A., a company active
in the production, marketing and sale of children’s games with a product line
covering childhood to early adolescence
- on 22 December 2008, it acquired a 4% stake in Manutencoop Facility Management
S.p.A. by subscribing to a reserved capital increase This company is Italy’s leading
integrated facility management company, providing and managing a wide range of
property management services and other services for individuals and government
agencies
- on 31 March 2009, it acquired a 17.43% stake in Grandi Navi Veloci S.p.A., an Italian
shipping company that transports passengers and goods on various routes around
the Mediterranean Sea. On 2 May 2011, with the finalisation of Marinvest's entry into
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% On 2
August 2012, IDeA OF I’s decision not to subscribe, on a pro-rata basis, to a further
capital increase led to a dilution in its equity investment to 3.68%
- on 10 February 2011, it invested in a bond that is convertible into shares of Euticals
S.p.A., the Italian leader in the production of active ingredients for pharmaceutical
companies that operate in the generics sector, for EUR 10 million. As part of the
extraordinary transaction that led to the transfer of the controlling share in Euticals
S.p.A., on 3 April 2012 these bonds were transferred into the acquisition vehicle,
Lauro 57, which now owns 100% of Euticals S.p.A.; in exchange, a stake of 7.77%

was acquired in the same acquisition vehicle (generating a capital gain of EUR 6.9
million)
- on 25 February 2011, it purchased a 9.29% stake in Telit Communications PLC, the
third-largest producer of machine-to-machine communications systems in the world;
the stake held by OF I was subsequently diluted to 9.08% due to the exercise of
stock options by the company's management
- On 11 September 2012, an investment agreement was signed with Filocapital S.r.l.,
the main shareholder in Iacobucci HF Electronics S.p.A. (Iacobucci), a company that
manufactures trolleys for aeroplanes and trains, and specialises in the design,
production and marketing of components for aircraft fittings and furnishings. A
maximum of EUR 12 million will be invested, in several phases: (i) subscription to a
bond that is convertible into Iacobucci shares, totalling EUR 6 million on the closing
date; (ii) subscription to a capital increase, in divisible form, totalling EUR 6 million,
to be paid in two equal tranches – following approval of the half-year figures to 30
June 2013 and the financial statements to 31 December 2013 – based on the
achievement of certain EBITDA and net debt figures. If the above-mentioned
convertible bond were converted and the events for a capital increase materialised,
IDeA OF I would acquire an overall stake of 34.9% in Iacobucci.
- On 9 October 2012, IDeA OF I invested EUR 15 million to acquire an indirect stake of
4.6% in Patentes Talgo S.A. (Talgo), a Spanish company that designs and produces
solutions for the rail sector, chiefly sold on the international market (high-speed
trains, and maintenance vehicles and systems)
- On 12 December 2012, IDeA OF I invested EUR 12.3 million to acquire a stake of
29.34% in 2IL Orthopaedics, a Luxembourg-registered vehicle which, through an
initial purchase offer and subsequent delisting of previously listed shares, obtained
full control (on 15 February 2013) of English company Corin Group PLC (Corin). Corin
is active in the production and marketing of orthopaedic devices, especially for hips
and knees.
After the closing date for the period, on 11 January 2013, IDeA OF I invested EUR 8.5
million to acquire a stake of 10% in Elemaster S.p.A. (Elemaster), the leading operator in
ODM (original design manufacturing) and EMS (electronic manufacturing service) i.e. the
design and construction of electronic equipment. At the same time, the Energy Efficiency
and Sustainable Development Fund, also managed by IDeA Capital Funds SGR, invested an
equal amount in Elemaster to acquire a similar stake.
The units held in IDeA OF I were reported at EUR 48.1 million in the consolidated financial
statements to 31 December 2012. The change in value compared with the figure at 31
December 2011 is attributable to capital calls of EUR 17.0 million, an increase of EUR 0.5
million in the fair value and pro-rata net loss for the period of EUR 6.3 million (due mainly to
the partial impairment of the investments in Giochi Preziosi and Grandi Navi Veloci and to the
capital gain made on Euticals).

- IDeA EESS
IDeA Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development
Headquarters: Italy
Investment details:
IDeA EESS is a closed-end fund under Italian law for qualified investors, which began
operating on 1 August 2011 and is managed by IDeA Capital Funds SGR.
Brief description:
IDeA EESS is a closed-end mutual fund under Italian law for qualified investors, which seeks
to acquire minority and controlling interests in unlisted companies in Italy and abroad
(particularly Germany, Switzerland and Israel), by investing jointly with local partners.
The fund is dedicated to investing in small and medium-sized manufacturing and service
companies operating in the field of energy savings and the efficient use of natural resources.
It focuses on the development of faster and cheaper solutions in the use of renewable
energy sources while continuing to reduce CO2 emissions effectively, against a backdrop of
sustained growth in global energy demand.
On 4 September 2012, the fund undertook a third closing, which brought the total
commitment to EUR 59.5 million.
On 8 May 2012, the fund made its first investment, acquiring 48% of Domotecnica Italiana
S.r.l. (independent Italian franchising of thermo-hydraulic installers) for approximately EUR
2.6 million, as well as a commitment to subscribe, within the next 18 months, to capital
increases totalling approximately EUR 1.0 million (IDeA EESS pro-rata share, of which EUR
0.3 thousand was paid on 7 December 2012).

Headquarters: Italy
Sector: Alternative Asset Management - Private Equity
Investment details:
IDeA Capital Funds SGR is one of the leading independent Italian asset management companies
operating in the management of direct funds, and funds of 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).
The investment programmes of IDeA Capital Funds SGR, which are regulated by the Bank of Italy
and Consob, leverage the management team's 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:
 Industrial sector
 Investment strategy and stages (buy-outs, venture capital, special situations, etc.)
 Geographical area (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 focus 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 the EESS sector fund 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:
IDeA FIMIT SGR is the biggest independent real estate asset management company in Italy,
with around EUR 9.4 billion in assets under management and 31 managed funds (including
five listed funds). This puts it among the major partners of Italian and international investors
in promoting, creating and managing closed-end mutual real estate investment funds.
IDeA FIMIT SGR has three main lines of business:
 the development of mutual real estate investment funds designed for 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 investments in transactions with low risk, stable returns,
low volatility, simple financial structures 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 unitholders consisting of Italian and
international investors with a high standing such as pension funds, bank and insurance
groups, capital companies and sovereign funds.
On 1 July 2012, the deed of transfer signed by IDeA FIMIT SGR and Duemme SGR for the
business division comprising mutual real estate investment funds managed by Duemme SGR
(a subsidiary of the Banca Esperia Group specialising in asset management services) became
effective. The transfer of the business division has enabled IDeA FIMIT SGR to take on the
management of eight real estate funds with assets that include around 60 buildings, worth a
total of approximately EUR 500 million.

In 2012, over and above the activities to fully integrate the entities merged in 2011 (FARE
SGR and FIMIT SGR), the operating performance of IDeA FIMIT SGR was based on a
continuous search for opportunities to grow the assets managed; this broadly took the form of
transactions to acquire the Duemme SGR business division and the award of the AMA tender
(see the “Significant events during the year” section).
The comparison between the income statement for 2012 and 2011 (see the table below) is of
limited significance, in view of the changes in business structure that took place on 3 October
2011 (integration of FARE SGR and FIMIT SGR, with the creation of IDeA FIMIT SGR).
