Target Company
Profitability
|
A history of profitability is not necessary to be considered as a Paliwoda Group investment. We will consider businesses with a history of operating losses. Almost all of our portfolio companies were not profitable prior to their creation or acquisition.

|
Control
|
The Paliwoda Group is a control investor. While we generally own a majority of a company's common stock, we exercise control by nominating a majority of a company's board of directors. As long as we maintain control, we are flexible regarding the size of our economic ownership of a company.

|
Bankruptcy/Default
|
The Paliwoda Group will consider purchasing businesses operating in bankruptcy or operating in default of obligations to creditors. We will consider sponsoring a plan of reorganization for a debtor-in-possession pursuant to a plan of reorganization in Chapter 11 bankruptcy or through a Section 363 asset sale.
