Investment Characteristics

Landon Capital Partners ("LCP") utilizes a "buy and build" approach towards investment management and will not focus on "lever and de-lever" opportunities.

LCP's mission is to source, acquire and manage lower middle market private equity buyouts, targeting opportunities for control equity positions in companies with $5 to $20 million of EBITDA. Preferred LCP investment targets display a high percentage of recurring revenue and strong free cash flow conversion and seek to leverage LCP's flexible approach to partnership and long-term growth orientation.

LCP's geographical focus is primarily the United States, and opportunistically in Europe, in sectors with an abundance of successful lower middle market companies including healthcare services, business services, niche manufacturing, and food and beverage. Yet regardless of a company's sector, LCP will seek investments which possess key characteristics such as:

An opportunity to remove or resolve an existing impediment to value creation

An opportunity to partner with strong management and/or operating partners

Strong free cash flow conversion ratios

High level of recurring revenue as a percentage of total revenue

Predictable earnings

Defensible operating margins based on barriers to entry or competitive positioning

Preferences

Growth oriented companies with $5 to $20 million of EBITDA
