4 Foreword

Dear Investor,

We believe that each client requires a committed team of dedicated, focused professionals, who have a tireless work ethic to solve your capital needs.

Raising capital and selling assets in today’s market is definitely a more challenging task, as investors are bombarded daily with news of economic volatility and political instability which is pervading the globe. This “new normal” depresses investor sentiment and makes investors more cautious than ever. That said, there are investors who will bid aggressively for assets, if such assets are properly marketed and positioned. In addition, raising capital today is a global exercise, with U.S. investors looking to invest overseas and international investors looking to invest in the United States.

Moreover, investing in the United States is now viewed as a safe haven for investors, providing owners and operators a huge opportunity to trade assets on a highly advantageous basis. As such, Carlton is constantly meeting with investors from around the world to provide our clients with maximum exposure for their assets. In addition, our Investment Management Division works with buyers to identify preferred assets that they want to acquire.

We believe that in order to maximize terms and proceeds for you and to overcome the foregoing factors, we must conduct a process that focuses on finding the one investor who is willing to reach the furthest in order to accomplish your objectives. Conversely, there are times when a quick and certain trade is required, which we also can quietly deliver. We pride ourselves in delivering a 24/7 work ethic, which coupled with our tremendous domestic and international relationships, allows us to provide you with a true value-added service to access investors who will bid aggressively in order to capitalize your asset.

We focus on assets located in major markets and have proven to have an unparalleled track record for completing large, complicated transactions with investors who are well capitalized, can move quickly and are willing to go hard as soon as possible. This mantra has resulted in excess of $25 billion of “Post Credit Crunch” closed transactions.

Moreover, the credit crisis has shown that it is individuals who can provide you with quality service and results, and not large corporations or the behemoth investment banks which had previously dominated the marketplace. We possess sophisticated modeling techniques and one of the most aggressive client advocacy teams in the country. In short, we know how to negotiate the best terms and proceeds for your assets. This “bravado” has resulted in $80 billion of large, complicated, equity driven transactions completed by Carlton.

Please review this summary and examine the excellent results that we have achieved for our clients. We look forward to meeting with you and helping you raise the necessary capital for your next investment sale, acquisition, recapitalization, or note restructuring.

Sincerely,

Howard L. MichaelsChairman

8 Executive Summary

We possess highly sophisticated modeling techniques and relationships with investors all over the world who will bid aggressively for your assets. Moreover, our aggressive, hard hitting negotiation style has continuously maximized value and terms for our clients. Executives at Carlton have completed some of the largest investment sale transactions all over the world, including the sale of the Bank of America Tower in San Francisco, the approximate one billion dollar trade of the Savoy Hotel Group portfolio, and the sale of numerous other large, multi-hundred million dollar, investment sale transactions.

Having completed over $50 billion of equity and debt transactions, Carlton is an industry leader in arranging large amounts of equity and debt capital for private investors and institutional owners of real estate. Our synergistic approach enables us to combine our equity and debt placement business with our investment sales focus which increases our ability to get deals closed and generate the greatest amount of proceeds.

Carlton has a dedicated practice of raising equity for entity level equity placements, which raises programmatic capital for institutional clients. This group has raised in excess of one billion dollars of programmatic equity capital for various sponsors, pursuant to a pre-determined business plan, promote structure and waterfall.

We run a specialized hospitality practice which has been responsible for some of the largest hospitality transactions in the world, both before and after the “credit crunch.” We specialize in the sale of hospitality assets and arranging of multi-tiered structured finance solutions to the hospitality sector. In fact, just this year we represented Paulson & Co. and Winthrop Realty Trust in the $4 billion UCC Sale of the CNL/MSREF portfolio, which included some of the finest hospitality assets in the world, such as the Grand Wailea Resort & Spa, the Claremont Hotel Club & Spa and the Ritz-Carlton Grand Lakes.

Carlton has been one of the most active and successful recapitalization experts since the beginning of the credit crunch, having completed approximately 2 billion dollars of satisfactory loan workouts in 2011 alone. We have an in depth knowledge of both securitized and balance sheet financings, along with an excellent understanding of the complex documentation and intercreditor agreements which guided these transactions. We are also totally conversant with the current “technology” which sets the basis for a mutually acceptable loan restructure and or modification. Moreover, being one of the most prolific originators of securitized debt “pre-credit crunch”, we understand how these mulit-tranched capital stacks work and have the unique ability to assess and negotiate these documents with servicers and other secured parties. We also possess tremendous access to non-traditional debt and equity capital sources which allow us to facilitate the funding of a DPO or par payoff, which is presently how many overleveraged loan positions are being satisfied.

Recapitalization & Restructuring


Carlton has developed and established a substantial overseas advisory practice, closing billion dollars of overseas transactions. We employ many multilingual capital markets professionals who have both lived and worked in Europe, Eurasia and Asia. These individuals have a deep understanding of the respective international local markets and possess significant equity and debt relationships, which allow us to execute a highly successful advisory practice globally. Currently, the capital markets overseas are unpredictable and volatile. Access to capital is disparate and fragmented, with very little transparency. Therefore, it is essential that lenders and clients use sophisticated intermediaries like Carlton in order to conduct a competitive process, which will result in the highest possible proceeds and the best terms. Currently, the firm is executing well over one billion dollars of equity, debt, investment and loan sale transactions for a variety of different financial institution and property owners throughout the world.

This group is led by Ms. Sybil Ellis, formally an Executive Vice President and Co-

Head of Acquisitions at arguably the most successful real estate company ever in the United States, Equity Office Properties (“EOP”). This division assists buyers and other non-controlling parties with expert real estate advice for a variety of services, which includes identifying particular assets for acquisition, as well as buy-side advisory services. These services include valuation, due diligence, dispute resolution and numerous other services. Ms. Ellis and her team have been highly successful, completing well in excess of $15 billion in acquisitions and dispositions while at EOP. Ms. Ellis is acknowledged as a real estate expert and specializes in representing both domestic and international investors.

In the loan sale business since 1991, Carlton is one of the world’s leading real estate loan trading firms specializing in the valuation and sale of distressed loan and REO assets. Carlton typically executes loan sale transactions either on a negotiated basis for large loans or through bulk and/or portfolio loan sales. In addition, we also sell small balance commercial loans through our CEX MLS, FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE, BUY NOW auction hybrid platform which provides sellers with all of the benefits and urgency of an auction but with the retail pricing associated with a conventional listing (www.carltonexchange.com).

Carlton uses highly sophisticated valuation techniques and can navigate the entire restructuring and valuation process either for the lender or the borrower. In 2010 and 2011, we performed valuations on over 1,300 assets valued in excess of $5 billion, which were transacted at 90% or better of Carlton’s “pre-sale” indicative valuation. In addition, Carlton has experience working with numerous servicers and lenders to either negotiate mutually agreeable payoffs or stand stills which have facilitated major recapitalizations.

Carlton is an expert with all aspects of the UCC foreclosure process and regularly executes foreclosure sales for some of the largest holders of distressed assets in the world. Our market prestige was demonstrated when we represented one of the most opportunistic investors in the country, Bill Ackman of Pershing, in his attempt to gain control of Peter Cooper Village / Stuyvesant Town. This was the largest UCC foreclosure in history.

10 Executive Summary

Recently Closed Transactions

The following represents selected transactions, which Carlton has closed in 2011. For the most part, these properties were under large financial distress and required an immediate negotiation to have adverse parties either stand still, and/or accept a discounted pay-off. Simultaneously, we raised close to one billion dollars of equity and debt capital to pay-off the lenders and other creditors. All of these transactions were time sensitive, and we were able to orchestrate a strategic approach, which allowed our clients to retain ownership, management and a promoted interest, prospectively.

One Park AvenueCarlton arranged the closing of an approximate $500 million equity and debt recapitalization and restructure at One Park Avenue, an iconic one million square foot office asset in Midtown, Manhat-tan. This deal showcased Carlton’s ability to simultaneously negotiate a standstill with lenders who had accelerated their loan positions and were readying for a UCC sale in order to gain control of the property. Our efforts culminated in an approximate $500 million recapitalization, which allowed our client to maintain control and management of the property, along with a significant promoted interest.

1180 Avenue of the AmericasCarlton arranged this transaction with a joint venture between our client and one of the largest corporations in China, which has a substantial real estate division. This was a highly tense and time sensitive transaction, in that the mezzanine lender had not only accelerated their loan, but had initiated a UCC process to gain control of the property. Carlton was able to access this international investor, who stepped up in a matter of days, put up a hard deposit, and closed shortly thereafter. This transaction also allowed our client to keep control and management of the property, along with a significant promoted interest.


450 West 33rd StreetThis asset had an approximate $600 million multi-tranche capital stack, which was owned by a variety of senior and junior lenders. The junior lender had retained another broker to sell their position, which was sold to two large real estate companies that were determined to gain control of the asset. Carlton worked quickly and quietly, arranging a competitive process, which allowed our client to gain the necessary funds to buy out their original capital partner and stabilized the capital stack. This recapitalization allowed our client to maintain both control and management of the property prospectively.

300 South Riverside Carlton was the exclusive advisor on this $200 million acquisition of a prime 1.1 million square foot, iconic office tower in Chicago. This transaction was completed with a large investment bank and an overseas investment group that put in more than 70% of the equity. This was a time-sensitive transaction, that was highly complicated as over 60% of the building was occupied by a single tenant, leaving many of the lenders nervous based on the perceived inability to easily lease large blocks of space in Chicago. This transaction was closed in a timely fashion and on excellent terms for our client.


760 Market StreetCarlton closed a $75 million first mortgage financing (75% LTV) for one of San Francisco’s most historic assets at 760 Market Street for Thor Operating Fund II. The financing for this 278,000 square foot office and retail asset known as the “Phelan Building” was completed in less than 30 days. Carlton successfully streamlined the underwriting of this complex financing with over 300 tenants and maximized both terms and proceeds for our client.

150 East 72nd StreetOn behalf of iconic developer Harry Macklowe, Carlton arranged $120 million of equity and debt financing for this beautiful corner apartment house in Manhattan, which Mr. Macklowe intends to convert to condominiums. The acquisition price was $70 million and Carlton was able to bring in a lender for the acquisition who provided an approximate $90 million first mortgage, as well as a large family office, which invested the majority of the $30 million of equity that was required to complete the transaction. Mr. Macklowe received a generous promote. This transaction is another example of Carlton’s ability to raise large amounts of capital with virtually no in-place NOI.

737 Park AvenueThis is a magnificent, pre-war asset on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, which Mr. Macklowe intends to convert to condominiums. Carlton accessed a London-based lender who fully committed to Mr. Macklowe at his contract signing to provide $250 million of senior financing. In addition, Carlton accessed a multi-billion dollar equity fund to partner with Mr. Macklowe on this transaction.
