 Overview Broadstream is focused on making investments in the lower middle market and below – investing up to $10 million of equity in each opportunity. Our capital comes from both the Broadstream principals and partners with whom we have worked in the past. We look for attractive opportunities to grow revenues and increase profits, then work hand in hand with management teams to drive dramatic performance improvements and generate significant returns. Our approach is based on our experience as managers, consultants, and private equity investors with companies such as McKinsey & Company, Bain Capital and Knowledge Universe. Our investment philosophy is to be both flexible and opportunistic. We are not resistant to small buyouts, under-performers, turn-arounds, and complex situations. We are eager to acquire corporate divisions or subsidiaries that no longer fit with the strategy of their corporate parent. Deals that appear difficult to get closed are the ones we are most eager to pursue. Management partners will find us to be both a valuable resource and a good deal of fun to work with. Our goal is to find companies that have developed or have the potential to develop sustainable competitive advantages in their marketplaces. This advantage can come from management, market share, cost structure, distribution, or products/services. While much of our collective experience is in media related businesses, we have also completed transactions in technology, communications, health care, manufacturing and retail. We are comfortable investing nationwide, but prefer opportunities in California. The partners at Broadstream are the ultimate decision makers for the firm and are directly involved in all investment analysis and decisions. Therefore, we are able to move quickly in responding to and pursuing opportunities, and are not constrained by lengthy, bureaucratic approval processes. Additionally, with substantial private equity experience, we have a very good sense for which deals work for us. We have a lengthy track record of closing transactions, including difficult ones, in a timely and reliable manner. Our investment opportunities arise as a result of relationships with intermediaries such as investment bankers, finders and business professionals or directly with entrepreneurs seeking capital. Broadstream enjoys a uniquely broad set of relationships and continues to seek additional ones. Media and Entertainment Expertise Broadstream has significant experience and familiarity with Media and Entertainment companies. In particular, we are interested in:
