LONE STAR FUND IV OVERVIEW
Lone Star Fund IV, comprised of Lone Star Fund IV (U.S.), L.P. and Lone Star Fund IV (Bermuda), L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”) were established by the Principals in December 2001 to continue their involvement in investment activities with respect to secured and unsecured non-performing loans, high leverage debt financing, and real estate-related debt and equity investments. Such activities were previously conducted through Lone Star Fund III, Lone Star Fund II and Lone Star Opportunity Fund, L.P. The Partnerships, which to date have closed or committed approximately $3.9 billion of the $4.2. billion of combined capital commitments, have invested in a broad range of direct debt and equity investments in secured and unsecured non-performing loans, high leverage debt financing and real estate-related assets, portfolios, joint ventures and operating companies using transaction structures and deal sizes similar to those previously consummated by investment funds in which the Principals had a significant participation. The objective of the Partnerships is to achieve at least a 25% investment level compounded annual rate of return on invested capital (“IRR”) over an estimated 2 – 5 year holding period for each investment.
