INVESTMENT CRITERIA

Investment Size:

 

$2-4 million

 

 

 

Structure:

 

Senior or subordinated debt with detachable equity warrants. An all equity structure, in lesser amounts, is an alternative.

 

 

 

Industry Focus:

 

PMF will invest in a broad range of manufacturing, technology, software, intellectual property, and service industries. We prefer industries with longer product life cycles, and with manageable risk of technological obsolescence.

 

 

 

Management:

 

Management teams must be able to demonstrate previous ability to manage an organization of comparable scale and complexity as the proposed investment. We look for management with a proven track record of integrity, commitment, experience, and dedication to growth. We expect management teams to have substantial equity stakes and be primarily motivated by creating shareholder value.

 

 

 

Geographic Focus:

 

PMF is primarily interested in investment opportunities in the western United States.

 

 

 

Use of Proceeds:

 

PMF seeks investment opportunities in companies seeking funds for expansion, funding an acquisition and/or recapitalizing.

 

 

 

Term:

 

1 to 5 years.

 

 

 

Interest rate:

 

8% to 14% per year

 

 

 

Fee:

 

1% to 5% at close (dependent upon interest rate and other pricing factors)

 

 

 

Warrant or equity:

 

PMF prefers to invest in structures that allow participation in the growth of the company in which we invest. A warrant or other equity enhancement is the usual instrument for this participation. Our warrant, interest rate, and fee expectations are proportional to the risk of the investment.

 

 

 

Investment Partners:

 

PMF looks favorably on the opportunity to co-invest with other institutional investors.
