BAM Disclosures

In BAM’s investment decision making process involves a number of different factors, not just those discussed in this document. The views expressed in this material are subject to ongoing evaluation and could change at any time. Past performance is not indicative of future results, which may vary. The value of investments and the income derived from investments can go down as well as up. It shall not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of the securities mentioned here. While BAM seeks to design a portfolio which reflects appropriaterisk and return features, portfolio characteristics may deviate from those of the benchmark. Although BAM follows the same investment strategy for each advisory client with similar investment objectives and financial condition, differences in client holdings are dictated by variations in clients’ investment guidelines and risk tolerances. BAMmay continue to hold a certain security in one client account while selling it for another client account when client guidelines or risk tolerances mandate a sale for a particular client. In some cases, consistent with client objectives and risk, BAM may purchase a security for one client while selling it for another. Consistent with specific client objectives and risk tolerance,clients’ trades may be executed at different times and at different prices. Each of these factors influences the overall performance of the investment strategies followed by the Firm. Nothing herein should be construed as a solicitation or offer, or recommendation to buy or sell any security, or as an offer to provide advisory services in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation or offer would be unlawful under the securities laws ofsuch jurisdiction. The material provided herein is for informational purposes only. Before engaging BAM, prospective clients are strongly urged to perform additional due diligence, to ask additional questions of BAM as they deem appropriate, and to discuss any prospective investment with their legal and tax advisers.Contact information

Cheap gets cheaper Value underperformed for most of past decade Beaten up stocks get crushed in Q4 2019

What screens well for beaten-up “risk off” names? Financials/Leveraged Names Exposure to slowing growth/lower interest rates Exposure to Europe Complicated stories

Jefferies (JEF) and Permanent TSB (TSB) check nearly every box for what investors DO NOT want to own… Statistically cheap stocks sold off in Q4 2018

…But beaten up valuations, capital return and partial/total sale can unlock substantial value Downside cases likely above current price Aggressive share repurchases (JEF)/capital return(TSB) Partial (JEF/TSB) or Total (TSB) sales possible

Black Box Investment Bank?

Jefferies continues to maintain reasonable leverage ratios…

Black Box Investment Bank?

12

2% Level 3 Assets - Never been a big player in “mark to model” products (CDO, non-exchange traded derivatives, etc).

Markdowns from hung leveraged loan/block trade possible but…leverage discipline/lack of exotic products provide comfort.

Significant ownership by insiders Richard Handler: 3% outstanding shares Brian Friedman: 1% Joe Steinberg: 6%

Outside of taxes/charities, Handler has never sold shares despite huge JEF gains over past 2 decades

costs upfront, revenues over time

Stock has been statistically cheap last several years – what changes? More consistent results from Jefferies Additional “wins” on capital allocation decisions (National Beef, Linkem, Vitesse,

FXCM, Spectrum Brands, HomeFed, etc) - when does market decide Handler is actually good capital allocator?

And… Large share repurchases

JEF complicated/susceptible to “risk off” selling In 2015, weakness at National Beef AND Jefferies prevented larger share

repurchases First nine months 2019: 26 million shares (7%) purchased at $24.16 Fiscal year Jefferies/Merchant Bank=November 30 – reduces share blackout periods Handler: October 2018 analyst day: stock cheap/repurchases continue (20% lower

today) Sale of minority stake Jefferies

Housing output needs to double from current levels to meet pent-up demand and rising migration… 2020+

Lots of ways to win…bombed out valuation provides downside support

TSB: 37% of tangible book value…Declined ~60% since 2015 €4.50 IPO

Sale – attractive asset in strong economy…establish number 3/fastest government payback

Capital Return (16% vs. 12% target…50%+ capital return possible)

Interest rates rise

Combination of above leads to multiple expansion

NPL Ratios Look Awful…but Rapidly Declining

38

Huge NPL balance reflection of historic problems, slow foreclosure process and rigid accounting rules on modifications…

Two recent securitizations will take NPL <10%

Cognitive Dissonance?

EU Bank Regulators: Lower NPLs

Irish Government: No vultures (you greedy bastards)

Capital Ratios Rising…Large Dividends Possible

39

Pro-forma CET 1 Tier 1: 13%+ vs. 12% target

Expect build over 2019 and potential for large capital return

Rising housing prices could allow markups on existing provisions -we assume none

Assuming NPLs continue to decline, then TSB should have a significant release of Stage 2 (non-specific) reserves.

Net loan balance grows in 2019 as new loans (flow) offsets maturities on existing book.

It is true that TSB will struggle to earn its cost of capital but large capital returns and small valuation improvements can drive meaningful returns.

Sale In 2018, Chairwomen of ECB Bank Supervision Arm suggested merger of TSB

and Ulster Bank CSFB estimated that a combined TSB/Ulster would generate €150 million in

synergies Starting in 2019, Irish government no longer restricted in only selling 25

percent of bank stake Attractive asset in strong economy…establish number 3/fastest government

payback Easily reduce 20% of operating expenses – potentially much more (CSFB: 50%) Likely the highest returning scenario for investors
