F2i Background
‒ In the early to mid-’90s, Italy launched a large privatisation programme, involving some of
the most important manufacturing and infrastructure companies in the Country (food, oil &
gas, telecoms, energy, airports and toll roads)
‒ However, the outcome of the privatisation programme was mixed:
‒ Privatisations through public share offerings have created large, efficient companies
that are today among the most active players in the domestic and international
markets (ENI, ENEL, Terna and Snam Rete Gas)
‒ Privatisations through the sale to “strategic investors” ended up with a shareholder
structure skewed towards private families that failed to fully understand the “public”
nature of infrastructures, reduced investments and eventually curtailed the growth of
these companies (Telecom Italia, Autostrade, Aeroporti di Roma)
‒ F2i was conceived by the sharing by the main Institutions in the Country and its
management team of the conviction that a long-term, institutional, professionally managed
infrastructure fund could provide the ideal instrument to endow Italian infrastructure
companies of a stable shareholding structure, that could pursue a coherent strategy:
‒ Long term orientation
‒ Focus on creation of large “national champions” that can re-invest cash flow for the
development of infrastructure
‒ Target maximum efficiency, quality of services, investments, long-term, growth and
financial performance
5. F2i presentation March 2013 5
F2i position in the Italian infrastructure market
‒ F2i was therefore created in 2007 by the main Italian public and private financial
institutions to be the main investor in Italian infrastructure
‒ Its Sponsors include: State-owned bank Cassa Depositi e Prestiti; the two
largest Italian Banks (Banca Intesa San Paolo and Unicredit); some of the
largest Banking Foundations; two Italian Pension Funds
‒ With a fund raising equal to €1,85 billion, F2i I is the largest Italian private
equity fund as well as one of the largest country focused infrastructure funds
‒ The success of F2i’s proposition is supported by achievements on both sides:
fund raising and investments
‒ In raising capital, F2i was able to attract considerable private and public amount
of money notwithstanding the severe international financial crisis (anti-cyclical
and defensive concept)
‒ F2i is demonstrating to be seen as the flagship Italian Investor in strategic
infrastructure assets of the Country
‒ F2i is now launching its Second Fund: on October 2nd, 2012, F2i achieved the
first closing for €575MM (total Fund target size €1,2 billion).
6. F2i presentation March 2013 6
F2i position in the Italian infrastructure market
‒ In less than four years, F2i I has invested in 13 companies. After two disposals and the combination of
three companies in the gas distribution sector, F2i currently has 9 investments (total investment around
€1,85 billion, equal to the totality of the fund), in companies operating in six key infrastructure sectors:
gas distribution, transportation (airports and motorways), water, renewable energies (windpower and
photovoltaic) and TLC
‒ F2i has undertaken a consolidation / aggregation strategy in these sectors, aimed at creating first class
national operators of infrastructure
‒ F2i adopts a balanced leverage strategy, in order to optimize the return on investment and to modulate the
draw-downs from investors
‒ Current total draw-downs from investors amount to € 1.45 milion, representing 78% of the total amount
of the fund
‒ F2i has actively managed and rationalized its portfolio through the disposal (at a profit vs. cost) of those
participations that could not be considered “core” any longer (e.g. logistics centre Interporto Rivalta Scrivia
and gas storage greenfield Enel Stoccaggi)
‒ Focus on investments with high cash generation and high dividend distribution potential. The first
dividend got paid to the investors 2 years in advance compared to the business plan of the fund
o Dividends distributed to investors for over € 82 milion during 2010 and 2011 (“cash on cash” yield
of 4,8% and 4,1%)
o F2i was able not to call the management fees from investors since the second semester of 2010
‒ In October 2012, F2i has launched its Second F2i Fund, with commitments from its Sponsors of €575MM.
The Fund has already started its investment activities, for up over €300MM:
o Acquired 60% of TRM, a leading WTE plant in Turin (north west of Italy)
o Ongoing negotiations for investment in waste treatment business of utility Iren
o Acquired 8.6% of SEA (Milan airport) (F2i overall controls 44.3% of the Company)

F2i I: Dividends from Portfolio Companies
(1) Calculated as the average of the valuation provided by the two appointed investment banks for ERG, Gesac, Mda, HFV and Alerion plus the historical cost of
all other investments
According to its investment strategy, F2i made its main investments in brownfield assets, which were
able to generate important operating cashflows and, despite high level of capital expenditures, already
contributed sizeable dividends to the Fund. In particular, distributions from ENEL Rete Gas, Gesac and
Mediterranea delle Acque are illustrated in the table below:
The high level of dividend distributed by ENEL Rete Gas (annual yield approx 19.0%) depends also by
financial structure of the acquisition developed by F2i, which includes:
‒ A Vendor Loan provided by the Seller ENEL Group at the time of the acquisition
‒ A Loan Financing provided by a pool of international banks, which allows the company to make
relevant cash distributions to its shareholders while keeping investing in its core business

Pipeline and Investment Opportunities
F2i believes that the Italian infrastructure market will continue to offer significant
investment opportunities due to:
The increasing fiscal constraints on the public sector and in particular local
authorities, which will lead to a new wave of privatisations. F2i’s recent acquisition
of a 29% stake in SEA (Milan airports) from the Municipality of Milan is expected to
represent an important benchmark for other local authorities to privatise their
infrastructure assets;
The high leverage of Italian utilities, that is likely to lead them towards non core
asset disposals and spin-offs;
The rationalisation and consolidation process within certain sectors with a high
level of fragmentation of players (e.g. gas distribution, water, Waste to Energy);
Need of improvement in efficiency and infrastructure upgrades, which fosters
change in shareholdings (for example, optical fiber broadband networks, mobile
towers, water);
Capital requirements by existing infrastructure companies to finance new
investments (e.g. toll roads)

F2i has conducted together with Boston Consulting Group an in-depth market study of Italian
infrastructures. The study, based on a bottom-up analysis of infrastructure players in the country, has
identified an equity investment opportunity in excess of € 7.5 bn in the next four years, focusing on
brownfield only within the infrastructure sectors identified as targets by F2i.
21. F2i presentation March 2013 21
‒ In October 2012, F2i has therefore launched its Second Fund, in order to take advantage of
these significant and immediate investment opprtunities, in coordination with the portfolio
achieved by Fund I:
o Opportunities to increase the stake in companies where Fund I has invested, so as to achieve
majority or strenghthen F2i’s governance
o Make new investments in F2i sub-sectors, so as to continue in the creation of infrastructure
groups able to be leaders in Italy within their industry
o Invest in one/two new subsectors, focusing on core infrastructure
- The Second Fund has target size of €1,2 billion, and has already raised €575 MM from
its Sponsors
- It has already made two investments (WTE company TRM and Milan airports
concessionaire SEA) and is negotiating the acquisition of a stake in waste treatment
and disposal company Iren Ambiente

F2i I and F2i II: Exit Strategy
‒ F2i has a long term holding strategy for its participations, aiming at growing the
EBITDA by virtue of organic and external expansion, fostering efficiencies, and
managing the capital structure with the objective to obtaining a stable dividend flow.
‒ At the time of exit, F2i will look at various disposal alternatives for its participations in
its Funds, including trade sales and IPOs.
‒ However, F2i portfolio is emerging as a strong group of assets focused on key sectors
of the Italian infrastructure space, with important synergies and growth opportunities
within each individual sectors. The current portfolio of F2i I had in 2011 an aggregate
EBITDA in excess of € 650 million, potentially growing to over € 1.1 billion by 2017.
‒ One exit strategy could therefore involve the listing of the Fund, or the contribution of
all or part of its portfolio to a newly created company, that could be listed, thus
creating a new, major player in the European infrastructure sector, that could continue
the management and development philosophy of F2i:
o Focus on operational excellence
o Growth orientation, through cap-ex explansion plans and M&A
o Synergies acros the various participations
‒ At that point, investors in F2i Fund I and II may decide whether to liquidate their
investment, or become part of a core shareholder group of the newly created entity.
The newly created entity should continue F2i’s strategy to grow its investments, acting
as a consolidator in its sectors of activity and potentially expanding to other markets.
25. F2i presentation March 2013 25
Being a Core Investor in F2i II
‒ Enter the infrastructure market of the third largest European economy through the most
important specialized player in the country
‒ Benefit from the link with the institutional network of F2i’s Sponsors
‒ Contribute to the growth of the unique existing asset portfolio, with growth prospects through
internal growth and potential add-on acquisitions (cumulated organic capex of the portfolio
companies in 2012-2022 almost € 5.0 bn)
‒ Potential IPO of the Fund (possibly combining Fund I and Fund II) and consequent
possibility to become a cornerstone shareholder of one of the largest and most dynamic
infrastructure players listed in Italy (and one of the largest in Europe)
‒ Co-investment rights in potential “jumbo” deals
‒ Commission rebate of 40 bp after achievement of hurdle rate

SEA S.p.A. – Milan Malpensa and Linate Airports
4242
Company Profile
SEA holds the concessions of Milan Linate and Milan
Malpensa airports until 2041. SEA also owns a 30,98% stake
in SACBO, company which manages the Bergamo airport (50
km far from Milan center).
In 2012, Linate and Malpensa airports have registered a
passenger traffic over 28 mln, whereas Bergamo airport has
had around 9 mln passengers (total for «Milan Area» is about
37 mln passengers).
Lombardy is one of the region with the highest GDP per-capita
in Europe, with a strong potential growth. Malpensa airport is
approximately 48 km far from Milan center, whereas Linate
airport is only 8 km far (it is the closest European airport to the
city center, focused on a frequent flyer customer on domestic
and intra-EU routes).
As shown in the graph on the right, SEA has been able to
respond to two significant shocks in 2008 and 2009 (Alitalia de-
hubbing and the introduction of the high-speed rail on RM-MI),
attracting new carriers and opening up new destinations
(despite the negative situation of these last years).
In 2012, SEA has had a turnover of € 600 mln and an EBITDA
of € 145 mln. The new rates have become active on 24
September 2012, allowing a substantial increase in profitability.

In 2013-2016, it is expected a significant increase of the Group
profitability due both to the full implementation of the new
charges, stipulated in the “Contratto di Programma”, and to the
expected development plan (also with a view to the Expo 2015),
with several investments in infrastructure, attraction of new
international carriers and an efficiency increase.

F2i’s investment in SEA
4343
The disposal of 14,56% share in SEA has been started by ASAM following the failure of the SEA's IPO. The purchase
price of this 14,56% has considered the fair value identified in the IPO process and it amounted to € 147 mln,
corresponding to approximately € 1,010 mln for 100% (vs. fair value range of € 970-1070 million) and representing an
EV/EBITDA 2012 multiple of 8.3x (considering the EBITDA 2012 pro-forma to include the new rates for the entire
year). Then, the Second Fund’s commitment was around € 87 mln.
SEA’s implicit value, recognised in this operation, is less then about 22% of that (€ 1.294 mln) recognised for the
29,75% share, as the 14,56% share does not bear the governance rights.
Recently, F2i has been in contact with the Milan’s Municipality in order to revise and extend the governance rights
recognised on the 29,75% share and/or on the entire 44,3%. This should be also done in the context of new
development and appreciation strategies of SEA, after the IPO failure. In the medium term, it cannot be excluded that
Municipality decides to sell the SEA's majority: this investment opportunity should be valued by the Second Fund.
In any case, this investment presents a possible high return, even only at a stand alone level, so without assuming
the joint exit with the First Fund F2i. In addition, for the Second Fund, it represents the launch of the investment
strategy in the airport sector, where new exciting opportunities are growing up, as indicated in the slide below.
Currently F2i SGR owns a 44,31% stake in SEA, partly by the First Fund
F2i (35,69%) and partly by the Second Fund F2i (8,62%). In particular:
A first tranche (equal to 29,75%) has been bought at the end of 2011
by the First Fund F2i from the Municipality of Milan (which still owns a
54,81% stake in SEA). Referring to this share, the shareholders
agreement (F2i-Municipality) considers the right for F2i to nominate
two directors (out of 7), included the vice-President, and the right of
co-sale (tag alone) in case of disposal of the majority by the
Municipality.
A second tranche (equal to 14,56%) has been purchased at the end of
2012 from ASAM S.p.A. (Province of Milan) partly by the First Fund
F2i (5,94%) and partly by the Second Fund F2i (8,62%).

SEA is the first investment of the Second Fund F2i in the airport
sector, with the aim to pursue the strategy begun by F2i with
the First Fund and to take advantage of the new opportunities
that may arise, in order to develop this sector even
independently from the First Fund.
Currently, in addition to a 35,69% stake in SEA , the First Fund
F2i also owns a 70% stake in Gesac (Naples airport) and a
50,8% stake in Sagat (Turin airport). SEA and SAGAT,
respectively, hold a 30,98% stake in Bergamo airport and a
33,4% stake in Florence one (as well as a noncontrolling
interest in Bologna airport equal to 7,21%). Overall, the market
share of these six airports is equal to the 36,4% of the domestic
traffic.
After the takeover of a 8,62% stake in SEA (it has been a co-
investment with the First Fund), further investment opportunities
in the airport sector may include: (i) additional shares of SEA (if
the Municipality of Milan decided to sell), Bologna, Catania,
Palermo or Apulia airports, and also potentially the Venice
one. These airports have a market share equal to the 54,7% of
the domestic traffic.
The F2i strategy is supported, on the one hand, by the need to
rationalize the sector, in order to ensure a long-term
coordinated strategy to the entire system and, on the other
hand, by the expected privatizations of several airport
companies, so as to allow their public shareholders to raise
funds for their needs.

TRM S.p.A. – Strategic considerations for F2i
Italian market and F2i position Leading Italian operators
– The national waste sector presents a high level of
fragmentation: in 2011, the first nine operators have only
managed the 7% of the total volumes
– On the other hand, in the European waste management
sector, particularly in France, Germany and UK, there are
several considerable operators
o France: extremely consolidated market where the first two
operators (Veolia and Sita Suez) control over than 60% of the
market
o UK: the first five operators manage more than 60% of the
market
o Germany: several large operators, as Remondis and Biffa,
have started strategies for an international growth
– The Italian market is in a transitional phase. Currently the
leading operators are mainly operating on a regional and/or
local level. Following the exemple of what happened in other
European countries, they should expand their activities on a
national and international level
– TRM’s acquisition is only a first step for F2i. It will be
followed by further add-on acquisitions finalized to the
creation of a national operator, leader in the waste sector
– In this context, the possible entry of F2i in the Iren
Ambiente SpA’s capital, already F2i’s partner in TRM,
could be the «platform» on which to consolidate the
sector on a national basis
