1. COMPANY BUSINESS

Manchester House Restaurants Ltd (“the Company” - Company number 8337227) is a

collaboration between The Living Ventures group of companies (“LV”) and Michelin Award-winning

chef Aiden Byrne.

The Company has been set up specifically to create and develop an independent fine dining

restaurant for Manchester, accompanied by a world class 24 hour lounge. Both businesses will be

housed in Tower 12 in Avenue North within the Spinningfields area of Manchester.

The shares in the Company are currently owned by the founding directors of LV Tim Bacon and

Jeremy Roberts and senior management of the LV organisation, together with Aiden Byrne in the

proportions set out in Annexe ‘A’.

2. THE MANAGEMENT

Tim Bacon (48) and Jeremy Roberts (50) set up LV in 1999 following the successful development

and sale of their first ventures Via Vita and Life Café in the late 1990’s and subsequently of The

Living Room in 2007. The latter achieved an enterprise value of £28m. The LV business (split across

several companies) currently comprises the Gusto Italian Restaurant brand, Blackhouse (including

The Grill on the Alley), The Alchemist, Australasia and the New World Pub Company (including

The Oast House). Turnover for all LV businesses to March 2013 is estimated to be circa £45m. Full

details of LV brands can be viewed at www.livingventures.com.

The LV head office located in Knutsford now operates a range of catering businesses, which

are diverse in character but which are linked by a common dedication to quality of product and

service. This is underpinned by a culture which sets commitment to training and excellence of

delivery at its core. This has been recognised by the Skills Council in 2010 by accreditation of LV’s

training programs for craft and management and in the achievement of ‘Outstanding’ and 28th

place in the Sunday Times survey of the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ in the UK. This year LV has

been rated in the highest 3 star “Extraordinary” category and its new ranking is 9th as revealed

on 28th February 2013.

The LV businesses are unashamedly entrepreneurial in their attitude but have consistently

demonstrated their ability to operate successfully with investors. Since LV’s inception it has worked

in partnership or joint venture with public companies such as Marston, Thompson and Evershed

PLC, Wolverhampton & Dudley PLC, Whitbread PLC and The Restaurant Group PLC (“TRG”), who

currently remain a major shareholder in a part of the LV business (Gusto and Blackhouse brands).

The LV business has also worked with private equity investors; in 2001 Bowmark capital invested in

The Living Room and achieved a rate of return of 3.9x its initial cost with an IRR of 45% on its exit

in April 2005, when TRG invested in its place.

Accordingly the Directors have a track-record of running businesses alongside investors and are

familiar with the corporate governance issues it creates.

Part 1Purpose of Open Offer and Company Business

7

Since the sale of The Living Room in 2007 Tim Bacon and Jeremy Roberts have led LV into the

development of two exciting brands; The Alchemist and New World Pub Company (” NWPC”).

Both of these businesses are well known to the Manchester market with the Alchemist operating in

Spinningfields and New York Street and NWPC operating The Oast House (also in Spinningfields)

and The Botanist in Alderley Edge. New outlets of both brands are anticipated to open in Leeds

in March 2013.

LV currently operate six restaurant and bar businesses in the centre of Manchester including

the successful Australasia Restaurant and Bar, which has demonstrated LV’s ability to operate

successfully at the upper end of the eating-out market. Australasia turned over more than £4m (net

of VAT) in its first year of operation and is forecast to achieve turnover of £4.5m (net of VAT) this

year with site profit circa £900k in the current financial year. (See Australasia Case Study at Part 5).

Aiden Byrne (40) earned a Michelin star at the age of 22 in Adlards in Norwich. He remains

the youngest chef to achieve this accolade and went on to work at a number of Michelin-starred

establishments; including Tom Aikens at Pied a Terre, Danesfield House in Marlow and The

Commons Restaurant in Dublin. He became the head chef of The Dorchester Hotel in London in

2009 before returning to the North West to run his own business at Church Green in Lymm. Aiden

has undertaken a number of media projects including publishing and TV work. He is a regular

contestant in the ‘Great British Chefs’ annual competition and this year is a finalist, and the BBC

have commissioned a 6 part series detailing the development of Manchester House to be aired

later in 2013.

3. CURRENT TRADING AND PROSPECTS

The business intends to commence trading in July 2013. Since he joined the LV business in October

2013, Aiden Byrne has been engaged in menu development at LV’s development kitchen facility

in Didsbury. The rest of the management team (the majority of which will be drawn from existing

LV operations) will join three months before opening to ensure that staff are trained and that the

product is ready, utilising LV’s existing and well-established training and marketing resources and

facilities.

The restaurant will occupy circa 5600 sq feet on the second floor of Tower 12 situated in Avenue

North, Spinningfields. The Lounge will occupy circa 5300 ft on level 12 of the building. Dedicated

lifts will take customers to each floor accompanied by a host at all times of the day and night.

Leases on both sites have been agreed with a combination of base rent, turnover fee and generous

incentives in the first 2 years.

Work is due to commence in March 2013 and is scheduled to complete in June 2013 with a

scheduled opening date for both elements of the business in late July 2013.

Prior to receiving investment from this offer, the business is being funded principally by two main

sources;

(1) LV will provided an unsecured loan of £600,000 repayable over 10 years with an interest

and repayment holiday of 12 months, thereafter the interest will revert to 2.5% over

base rate.

(2) LV have secured from the landlord of Tower 12 a reverse premium capital injection

of £550,000 plus a loan of £150,000 at an interest rate of 5% per annum, repayable

over 5 years with a 12 month repayment holiday at commencement.

8

In addition, the final funding source is planned to be achieved by this fundraising of £750,000, less

fees, which are estimated at circa £20,000 + VAT.

LV will provide head office services to the Company including: human resource management,

training at craft and management level, accounting and financing services, head office administration

and facilities, design and property management services, business development and marketing

services, procurement services and Board level expertise. These services will be provided by LV

and a charge to the Company will be made equal to 8% of the Company’s revenue.

This management ‘HQ’ charge is consistent with that made to all LV businesses and will be

regulated by an Operating Company Agreement with TRG, who own a significant proportion of

the LV ‘Gusto’ and ‘Blackhouse’ brands. This underlines the environment of corporate governance

under which the LV businesses operate.

In the opinion of the Directors, this HQ charge represents clear value for money for a start up

business of this nature. It is more likely that either many of these services simply could not be

provided by an alternative operator, or the % to revenue would be significantly higher in the early

years for this level of service and expertise.

For the avoidance of doubt no other payments will be made to the Directors of the Company as

these are included within the HQ charge to LV, with the exception of Aiden Byrne whose salary as

Executive Chef will be charged directly to the Company.

The Directors believe that based on their knowledge and track record of launching businesses

in Manchester, The Restaurant and the Lounge will hit the ground running in terms of sales and

profitability. LV has a history of creating businesses that deliver operational profit in the first year

of trading and the Directors believe that Manchester House could also do so. Therefore it is

anticipated that (once distributable reserves allow) dividend payments can commence.

The Lounge (capacity 175) with its 360 degree views of the city’s roof-scape will be Manchester’s

first truly 24-hour licensed bar operation, one of only three 24-hour premises licences in the city and

will provide lounge and bar services from breakfast to early evening with complimentary Wi-Fi and

business facilities. The Lounge will facilitate canopies and drinks for both lunch and evening diners

prior to them taking their seats in the Restaurant, alongside a casual dining menu and afternoon

teas. The evening will see the Lounge transform into Manchester’s coolest lounge bar offering

full table service, a 15-metre bar and 4 external corner terraces. The ‘members only’ policy after

midnight will allow management to ensure that a discerning clientele at all times is maintained.

The Restaurant at Manchester House (70 covers) plus the external terrace will seek to provide a

new level of dining experience unrivalled in Manchester’s city centre, ‘contemporary fine dining

with a twist’. The combination of award winning training, marketing and leadership from the LV team

and Aiden Byrne’s culinary expertise, will seek to produce a solid business capable of creating

both short and long term success. As previously stated Aiden was the youngest chef ever to be

awarded a Michelin star in the UK and still holds that record. Aiden has gained a Michelin star

twice in his career to date. The intention is that MH will gain him his 3rd and bring a star back to

Manchester, which as a city has been without one since 1974.

The forecast provided at Part 3 is based upon managements’ experience to date

and in particular of its recent experience at Australasia. The main difference between

the two businesses being the anticipated larger liquor sales and gross margin in the

Lounge due to the longer opening hours, larger bar area and higher price points. The

management believe that its knowledge of the Manchester restaurant and bar market, its

9

recruitment of a high calibre chef, its proven track record of operating successful businesses of this

kind and the ability to plug-in specific procurement and management advantages at

commencement, all provide a strong underpinning for these forecasts.

It should however be noted that the forecasts are estimates only and are based on a number of

key assumptions, which are set out alongside the forecasts at Part 3.

4. REASONS FOR THE OFFER

Member Partner Investors (“MPIs”) are being sought to establish a cadre of like minded

Manchester-based ambassadors to provide early stage support.

It is expected that by this innovative approach to fundraising, a synergy of opportunity will be

created. MPIs can expect to receive not only the potential financial benefits of an EIS qualifying

investment but ground level investment and immediate benefits via the Member Investment

Rewards program. The business will hope to secure investors who will not only patronise the

business themselves but encourage regular use of the Lounge and Restaurant by their friends and

colleagues, thereby enhancing the value of their investment and acting as marketing ambassadors

to the business.

Benefits of the investment include:

The investment has received advance assurance from HMRC that EIS qualification will be achieved

for the Company. This will allow qualifying individuals a tax credit of 30% of the investment to be

recouped, with future gains from the investment potentially free of capital gains tax subject, to a

minimum investment holding period.

Dividend distribution of at least 50% of post tax profits after taking into account the capital

requirements of the business and any legislative requirements.

Plus the Member Partner Rewards program:

Benefits as an MPI from day 1 in the form of restaurant credit reflecting an amount equal to

a notional 5% yield per annum on each MPI’s initial investment

(i.e. £1250 restaurant credit per annum per £25k investment).

Personalised bar cupboard in the 12th floor Lounge stocked and replenished with

your personal choice. (separate “locker” agreement will apply).

Monthly expense account facilities (subject to separate standard terms and conditions).

Priority booking via shareholders’ page on the restaurant website.

5. EXIT

The Directors believe that the Company represents an excellent lifestyle opportunity for an MPI as

it offers a unique opportunity to invest in an exclusive venture.

The Member Partner Rewards program will offer MPIs immediate benefits from the outset in the

form of the priority treatment of MPI’s when they frequent the Lounge and Restaurant.

The Directors consider that if the financial projections are delivered, there will be a likelihood of the

Company paying dividends to MPIs in the early stages of the Company’s development. This is on

the basis that the project is a single-site operation, so it is unlikely that there will be a high level of

requirement to reserve profits for future site acquisition and development.

10

The Directors do not have immediate plans to sell the Company in its early years but a private

equity sale is always a possibility if the Company can prove its ability to deliver the Directors’

concept and vision for the venture. In addition a trade sale of such investments at a premium to

the market is also possible and there are several high profile examples of similar businesses in the

recent past that have been sold at significant premiums e.g. Haakersan and Zuma.

In addition to the long term exit scenarios the Articles of Association provide for a mechanism to

allow individual MPIs to exit in certain limited scenarios at a valuation based on a prescribed profit

multiple, subject to conditions. (See Articles of Association).

Cash Flow Projections

The conditions set out below will be endorsed on each of the Offer Shares: The following summary does

not constitute legal advice but seeks to clarify key terms of the Open Offer for the Addressee to consider in

conjunction with the Risk Factors.

ARTICLE 2 SHARE CAPITAL

The share capital is split into ‘A’ ordinary and ‘B’ ordinary shares and the different classes of share have

different rights.

ARTICLE 3 SHARE RIGHTS

The share classes rank pari passu in respect of income and capital but the ‘B’ ordinary shares (which the

Offer Shares comprise) shall not carry any voting rights It should be noted that the declaration of any

dividend will be subject to Investor Consent and can only be undertaken if the Company has sufficient

distributable reserves within the definition provided by the Companies Act 2006.

ARTICLE 7 ISSUE OF SHARES

Any new shares to be issued in the capital of the Company shall be offered (in the case of new ‘A’ and

‘B’ ordinary shares) first to holders of ‘A’ ordinary shares and secondly to holders of ‘B’ ordinary shares.

Accordingly it is possible that the holders of ‘B’ ordinary shares could have their percentage holdings diluted

in the future.

ARTICLE 9 TRANSFER OF SHARES

It should be noted that there is not a ready market for the sale of Offer Shares once they are subscribed for.

Any holder of ‘B’ ordinary shares must first notify the Company of any proposed transfer so that Committee

Consent can be obtained, which is not guaranteed.

The proposed transferee shall be selected by the Company not by the holder of ‘B’ ordinary shares, unless

Majority Consent is obtained.

The price for the shares being transferred shall be calculated in accordance with the ‘Fair Price’ calculation.

This sets the Fair Price as a sum equal to 4x Company EBITDA for the preceding 12 month period, multiplied

by the % holding of the shares being sold, e.g. if a shareholder was transferring 1% of the Company’s shares

and Company EBTIDA was £500,000, the Fair Price would be £20,000 (500,000 x 4 x 0.01%). It is

possible that (depending on the Company’s financial performance), the Fair Price is determined to be less

than the £25,000 subscription price, which could result in a holder of ‘B’ ordinary shares suffering a loss

when his shares are sold. The ‘Good Leaver’ and ‘Bad Leaver’ provisions do not apply to Addressees unless

they satisfy the definition of a ‘Leaver’ in the Articles.

ARTICLE 11 TAG ALONG AND DRAG ALONG

This article provides that the holders of the ‘A’ ordinary shares can require the ‘B’ ordinary shares to transfer

their shares to a third party purchaser in certain circumstances. This is very important as the holders of

‘B’ ordinary shares will appoint the Accepting Shareholders to sign any forms required to effect the sale for

him, such as stock transfer forms.

The investment detailed in this Document may not be suitable for all its recipients. Before making

an investment decision, Addressees are advised to consult an investment adviser authorised under

FSMA who specialises in investments of the kind described in this Document. Addressees should

consider carefully whether an investment in the Offer Shares is suitable for them in the light of their

personal circumstances and the financial resources available to them, as investment in the Offer

Shares involves a high degree of risk. If any of the risks set out in this Part 6 occur, the Company’s

business, financial condition, capital resources, results or future operations could be materially

adversely affected. In this event, the price of the Offer Shares could decline and investors may lose

all or part of their investment. Each Addressee must carefully consider the risks described below

and the other information set out in this Document before deciding to invest in the Offer Shares. Risks

are not limited to those detailed below.

In addition to the other relevant information set out in this Document, the following specific factors

should be considered carefully in evaluating whether to make an investment in the Company:

1 the Offer Shares will not be traded on any public market. As such these investments are

illiquid in nature and do not have a certain market value. Realisation of the investment is

dependent on a successful exit, the occurrence of which is uncertain;

2 the value of the Offer Shares may go down and an Addressee may lose some or all of

the value of his investment;

3 the Company cannot be certain of its future financing needs or that suitable financing will

be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Directors. The Company’s future

capital needs, and other business reasons, will require the Company to issue additional

equity or obtain an additional credit facility. If additional equity or equity-linked securities

were to be issued, this will result in dilution for shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness

would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and

financing covenants that would restrict the Company’s operations or the Company’s ability

to pay dividends to shareholders;

4 Investors in the Company will rank behind the Company’s providers of debt facilities on

any insolvency event and in such insolvency circumstances would likely lose their

investment;

5 this Document has been prepared in accordance with current UK tax legislation, practice,

concession and interpretation. Any change in the Company’s tax status or the tax

applicable to a holding of Offer Shares or in taxation legislation or its interpretation, could

affect the value of the investments held by the Company, affect the Company’s ability to

provide returns to shareholders and/or alter the post-tax returns to shareholders;

6 a short operating history (with no trade having commenced) implies a somewhat

greater uncertainty of future performance than for a longstanding business with a

sustained track record;

7 there is no market, nor in the short term is there intended to be a market, for the Offer

Shares and accordingly it may be difficult for an investor to sell the Offer Shares;

Part 6Risk Factors

20

8 the success of the Company is dependent upon the Directors of the Company, whilst life

cover is in place for the Directors the value of such payout is unlikely to completely

compensate the Company for loss of one of the Directors;

9 there is no certainty that the Company will generate sufficient distributable reserves to

allow it to pay dividends;

10 The Company’s competitors activity cannot be predicted and could impact the success of

the Company;

11 The Company’s sales and financial figures are all forecasts only.

4. CLASS RIGHTSWhenever the capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares the special rights attached to any class may be varied or abrogated with Investor Consent.

5. LIEN AND CALLS5.1 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that share. The directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to any amount payable in respect of it.

28

5.2 The Company may sell in such manner as the directors determine any shares on which the Company has a lien if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been given to the holder of the share or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the shares may be sold.

5.3 To give effect to a sale the directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The title of the transferee to the shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

5.4 The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable, and any residue shall (upon surrender to the Company for cancellation of the certificate for the shares sold and subject to a like lien for any moneys not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

6. CALLS ON SHARES AND FORFEITURE6.1 Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls upon the members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium) and each member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A call may, before receipt by the Company of any sum due thereunder, be revoked in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or part. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which of the call was made.

6.2 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the directors authorising the call was passed.

6.3 The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

6.4 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at the appropriate rate (as defined by the Act) but the directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

6.5 An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or premium or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call, and if it is not paid when due all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

6.6 Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between the holders in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their shares.

6.7 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued. The notice shall name the place where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

6.9 Subject to the provisions of the Act, a forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors determine either to the person who was before the forfeiture the holder or to any other person and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited share is to be transferred to any person the directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share to that person.
