LOAN REQUEST SUMMARY

The Loan Request Summary consists of 12 questions that will enable OPIC personnel to make a preliminary determination of whether the project meets the basic eligibility requirements for OPIC support.

QUESTION 1: IDENTIFY THE PROJECT COMPANY/BORROWER OPIC provides direct loans and loan guaranties that are used to undertake long-term investment projects (each a “Project”) in OPIC eligible countries (each a “Project Country”) [link to country list]. The entity that directly undertakes the Project in the Project Country (the “Project Company”) may also be the entity that has the direct borrowing relationship with OPIC or is the direct beneficiary of an OPIC-guaranteed loan (the “Borrower”), but sometimes they are different entities, depending upon the proposed structure of the transaction. Please list the location and contact information for the Project Company and Borrower.

QUESTION 3: IDENTIFY tHE OWNERS of the PROJECT COMPANY/Borrower

Please list ultimate beneficial owners of the Project Company. For example, if the Project Company is wholly owned by another company, and that other company is owned 50-50 by two individuals, that other company is the intermediate owner of the Project Company (with 100% direct ownership), and the two individuals are the ultimate beneficial owners of the Project Company (each having 50% indirect beneficial ownership). The table below allows you to list each direct owner, and if applicable, to list each indirect owner under the relevant direct owner. You need not list any party that owns (directly or indirectly) less than 5% of the Project Company. For owners with less than 5%, state “Multiple, less than 5%” and list the sum of their ownership shares so that you may account for 100% of the Project Company ownership.

If there is more than one layer of ownership (i.e. some of the ownership is indirect) please attach a diagram showing the ownership structure [link to upload function].

Please note that to be eligible for OPIC Financing, the Project Company/Borrower must be at least 50.1% (i.e. majority) owned by private entities (i.e. a government or parastatal entity is not the majority owner) and must have the meaningful involvement of the U.S. private sector (see Question 4 on next page).

QUESTION 4: IDENTIFY THE U.S. CONNECTIONS.

For a Project to qualify for OPIC Financing, there must be meaningful involvement of the U.S. private sector (the “Qualifying Sponsor(s)”) with the Project.

How does OPIC define U.S.? (any one of the following)

• Any for-profit entity organized in the United States with at least 25% of its equity/share capital U.S. owned.

• Any for-profit entity organized outside the United States with more than 50% of its equity/share capital U.S. owned

• U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (i.e. Green Card holders).

• Any non-profit entity that is organized in the United States.

How does OPIC measure meaningful U.S. involvement?

• OPIC generally requires U.S. involvement in the Project Company/Borrower in an amount that is equivalent to at least 25% of the equity/share capital of the Project Company/Borrower.

• The 25% benchmark may be met with equity investment (ownership/contribution), long-term debt investment in the Project or other U.S. contracts (e.g. construction contracts) or by combining these types of involvement in the Project among one or more Qualifying Sponsors.

• Other forms of involvement (e.g. franchise or long-term management contracts) may be considered – please discuss with an OPIC staff member, if applicable.

How does OPIC measure the duration of U.S. involvement?

• For an on-going project, Qualifying Sponsor(s) must retain a 25% interest in the Project through final disbursement of the OPIC supported loan.

• In the case of a start-up (or “Greenfield”) project Qualifying Sponsors must retain a 25% interest through physical completion of the Project.

Please list the Qualifying Sponsor(s) information (including a U.S. address, if possible) and the nature of each entity’s involvement with the Project.

QUESTION 5: CATEGORIZATION OF U.S. PARTIES INVOLVED WITH THE PROJECT

OPIC Finance’s support for a Project Company/Borrower can take the form of a direct loan or a loan guaranty. By law, only those Projects that significantly involve a U.S. small business are eligible for the direct loan product. The loan guaranty product is open to all eligible Project Companies/Borrowers.

How does OPIC define U.S. Small Business?

• A small business is an enterprise with annual revenues during the last fiscal year of less than $400 million, or for those entities/individuals without revenues, a net worth less than or equal to $100 million OR

• An enterprise with 500 or fewer employees.

Include the revenues, worth and employees of all majority-owned affiliates. Also, if the enterprise is majority-owned by another business (but not funds or individuals), include the consolidated revenues, worth and employees, as applicable.

Please list all Qualifying Sponsors that are U.S. small businesses.
