21 CONCORDIA LP
The proposed project is an IFC equity investment of up to EUR 15 million in 21 Concordia L.P. (the Fund), a Jersey domiciled private equity fund with a focus on mid-market investments in Poland and CEE. The Fund is targeting EUR 100 million in total commitments and expects to make 8-10 investments with average investment tickets of EUR 10 million with an expected gross IRR of 25%. The Fund will be sector agnostic. 21 Concordia L.P. is a first-time fund.
- Job Creation: IFC's experience has shown that small to midcap companies can achieve higher job creation rates than large cap companies. The Fund's midcap growth strategy is in full alignment with IFC's development impact goals.
- Access to Finance: Long-term equity/risk capital is limited in Poland. SMEs/Midcaps usually access short term bank loans in the absence of equity investors. IFC's investment would support Polish companies by providing additional equity to the small /midcap market.
- Poland has a much lower ratio of private equity investments to GDP compared to its peers in the emerging markets. This highlights the scarcity of capital in Poland and underlines the need to support new private equity managers.

Polsat Project
On 15 December 2022, IFC submitted an offer to invest PLN 435 million, equivalent to US $98.6 million, as an anchor investor in a PLN 2.67 billion sustainability-linked bond (SLB) being issued by Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. (the Company). On 16 December 2022, the Company accepted the offer and invited IFC to purchase the bonds by 11 January. The Company along with its subsidiaries (collectively the Group or Grupa Polsat Plus or Polsat) is one of the largest media and telecom operators in Poland. In December 2021, the Company announced the planned acquisition of 67% stake in PAK-Polska Czysta Energia sp. z o.o. (PAK PCE), a company that was set up to invest in renewable energy and green hydrogen in Poland, and 67% stake in Port Praski sp. z o.o, a holding company that is developing a large real estate project in Central Warsaw.
The project is expected to deliver positive environmental effects from the reduction of GHG emissions (~2 million CO2 tons equivalent per year). At the market level, the investment contributes to further diversify the Polish energy mix away from coal and introduce innovations that support Polands decarbonization strategy. The SLB issuance, the first by a Telecom company in the Polish domestic market and the largest issuance in local currency in the past five years, would also help develop Polands domestic capital market through demonstration effects and the expansion of sustainable finance instruments.

DCM SRT Frida
The Project consists of a Synthetic Risk Transfer (SRT) transaction in which IFC will provide to Santander Bank Polska S.A. (SPL) an unfunded guarantee on credit losses of up to PLN475 million (US$110 million equivalent) on a PLN2.9 billion reference portfolio comprising consumer finance loans on SPL balance sheet.

DARP NPL EOS III
The Project entails setting up a facility in Poland, under IFCs Distressed Assets Recovery Program (DARP), to acquire and resolve retail and SME/corporate non-performing loans (NPLs) and distressed real estate assets and real estate owned (REO) assets on the banks balance sheets (Target Assets), together with EOS Holding GmbH or a 100% subsidiary of it (EOS or the Sponsor). This facility will acquire Target Assets both in the primary and secondary distressed assets markets in Poland (Target Market). The proposed facility will have US$300 million equivalent in EUR in available committed capital, of which IFC will commit US$150 million and EOS will commit US$150 million (DARP NPL EOS III) (the Project).
The most significant, expected Project-level outcome is the offloading of secured and unsecured retail and SME/corporate NPLs and REOs by financial institutions in the Target Markets, which will support their capital position by freeing up capital and increasing liquidity, and reduce large costs associated with the management of these assets. As a result, this will enhance the lending capacity of these financial institutions. In addition, IFC expects that the Project will help normalize retail and SME/corporate obligations, allowing individuals and businesses to retain their assets and make them creditworthy again.
Beyond the Project-level outcomes, the proposed investment is part of a programmatic approach in Poland to enhance the resilience of the financial sector. Under the programmatic approach, IFC is expected to provide (i) significant distressed asset resolution capacity; (ii) capital relief solutions such as synthetic risk transfer; and (iii) long-term bail-in-able and structured financing.

V4C II Project
The proposed project consists of an IFC equity commitment of up to EUR 15 million (US$ 16.3 million equivalent) to V4C Poland Plus Fund II (V4C II or the Fund) a closed-end private equity fund targeting investments in Poland, Romania and other European Union member countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The fund will be domiciled in Luxembourg with a target size of EUR 100 million (US$ 108 million equivalent).
The Fund is expected to increase access to private equity capital and value creation for companies in Poland and the CEE region, primarily Romania. While companies in Poland and Romania benefit from relatively more developed financial institutions compared to other EMs and developing access to the EU capital markets, the availability of equity has declined. Within this context, V4C will support value creation in its portfolio through management improvement, expansion strategies, optimizing operations, and assisting companies in executing merger and acquisition transactions that generate synergies and scale.
Beyond the project, IFC will support the PE market to remain functioning and provide capital to growth stage companies after thea sharp fall in investment following Russias invasion of Ukraine. Commercial investors are withdrawing, limiting the ability of PE funds to operate without DFI support. IFCs investment with V4C II will support one of the emerging small to mid-market fund managers to sustain activity and sends a signal to other funds seeking to raise in the region. This signal builds on IFCs recent support to other funds in the region and will help to sustain activity induring the current environment, support market recovery by preserving critical market capacity, and encourage commercial investors to return to the market.

Baltic Malt Sp. z o.o.
Summary Of Project Information (SPI) Project Name Poland - Baltic Malt Limited Region Europe Sector Project No004928 Projected Board DateJanuary 3, 1996 Company NameBaltic Malt Limited Technical Partner and/or Major Shareholders WM is a private partnership owned by the Weissheimer/Sarx families, which started malting 130 years ago. It operates six malt plants in Germany, with total production capacity of 425,000 tons annually. WM also operates the IFC funded Albadomu malt project in Hungary which has a capacity of 65,000 tons p.a. About 50 percent of its production is exported worldwide, notably to Japan and Latin America. WM sales for 1995 are expected to exceed US$200 million. WM will own 50% of the equity, and IFC and DEG 25% each. This structure is similar to that of the Albadomu project in Hungary. Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment The US$27.5 million investment program will be financed with (i) a US$7.2 million equivalent long-term loan from DEG; (ii) a US$7.2 million equivalent long-term loan from IFC; (iii) a US$1.4 million equivalent in shareholders loan from WM; a(iv) US$3.5 million in short-term debt from local banks in Poland; and(v) US$8.2 million equivalent in equity from WM (50%), DEG (25%), and IFC (25%). Location of project and Description of site The project will be located on a 3 hectare site leased from the port authority for 30 years in the port of Gdansk and thus well placed to export malt. Gdansk is at the center of a barley producing area and the project will be in a favorable position to source its raw materials. The annual requirements of 81,500 tons of barley will be procured within a distance of less than 120 kms. The malt plant will be located in the industrial part of the Gdansk port, in northern Poland. The site can be reached by sea, by rail and by road. The property has a size of 30,000 m2, with a quay line of about 80 m facing the Martwa Wisla, a branch of the Wisla, Polands main river. Description of Company and Purpose of Project The project addresses the existing malting capacity shortage by establishing a modern and efficient plant with significant competitive advantages vis-a-vis existing malt plants in Poland, such as modern and efficient technologies, economies of scale and proximity to raw materials. The project is a net foreign exchange earner with the combined savings and earnings of about US$30 million annually. Given the stringent specifications required for the malting process, a malsters and farmers need to establish close and durable relationships which are mutually beneficial. Working closely with the Company and becoming steady suppliers, farmers would experience noticeable benefits since malting barley is generally more profitable than other cereals, especially in the proximity of a malting plant. In addition, farmers would benefit from WM''s agriculture research efforts, which would result in the introduction of better barley varieties and farming practices. The economic rate of return for the project is estimated at 31%. Environmental Category and Issues This is a category B project according to IFC environmental review procedures. The plants is designed to meet exceedingly strict German environmental standards with regards to effluent discharge, dust emission, and noise levels. The company has confirmed that it will comply with all applicable World Bank environmental standards. The malting process uses 3 to 4 m3 of water for each ton of malt produced. Water is to be sourced from ground wells to be constructed on the site; which is situated on the banks of the River Wisla. The plant''s water off-take will have no impact on the underlying aquifer and ground water levels. After steeping the water would normally have a high biological oxygen demand (BOD) level but the use of water for cleaning the chambers means that the final BOD after water arriving at the effluent treatment plant is much lower. The treatment plant consists of settlement tanks and aerobic treatment systems. After meeting all relevant standards, the water will be discharged into the river. Effluent discharge amounts to less than 1 m3 of water per ton of malt - as moisture is lost to the atmosphere during the germination and kilning processes. The is from the Public Information Center.

Summary Of Project Information (SPI) Project Name Poland-Global Hotels Region Europe Sector Project No008125 Projected Board DateMay 27, 1998 Company NameGlobal Group of Companies Technical Partner and/or Major Shareholders Global Group of Companies, Polish Enterprise Fund Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment Total project cost is estimated at US$39 million with IFC investment of up to US$10.7 million, including senior loan, subordinated loan and equity. Location of project and Description of site Hotels will be located in major regional cities of Poland. First hotel, 144-room Holiday Inn Core will be located in Gdansk, Polands major port city located on the Baltic Sea with population of 890,000 in the metropolitan area. The site is conveniently located opposite the railway station and adjoining the Old Town in a highly visible location on one of the main roads in the city center. The hotel is being built on the site of the former Monopol Hotel and is scheduled for opening in late 1998. Several other sites are under development in various parts of Poland. Description of Company and Purpose of Project The project involves development and operation of a chain of three-star hotels in major regional cities of Poland, under a Preferred Terms franchise agreement with Holiday Inn Worldwide (HI). The proposed financing covers the first 4-5 hotels of the chain. They will generally be low to mid-rise construction, typically have 100-150 rooms, and include both new construction and refurbishment of existing properties. They will operate under several existing Holiday Inn formats: HI Core, HI Express, and other HI brands. The ultimate goal of the Company is to build a hotel management company which will own and manage a portfolio of hotels. IFC will play a key role in this transaction by providing equity, quasi-equity and long term debt financing for the project which is developed by a private Polish company supported by an international equity fund with significant Polish market experience. IFCs involvement will strengthen the deal structure and will provide comfort to other equity investors through our inputs to the business concept, development strategy, and management arrangements. The project will contribute to regional development of Polands business infrastructure. It will help to overcome Polands shortage of quality hotel accommodation outside of capital city which inhibits development of business and tourist travel.

COOP-EST will be incorporated as a corporation under Belgian law. COOPEST aims to attract investments from cooperative banks and multilateral and social investors to reach, via multiple closings, a size of 30 million. The first closing is expected to be 15 million. COOP-EST will be set up as a three tier structured vehicle (the facility) comprised of three bond tranches, as per the following proposed characteristics: - Junior A notes for up to 6 million, representing 20% of the issue; - Mezzanine B notes for up to 9.0 million, representing 30% of the issue; and - Senior C notes for up to 15 million, representing 50% of the issue. The junior A notes will act as the first loss cushion and be fully subordinated to the B and C notes. The main sponsors (see below) will invest up to 8 million in the project, subscribing to all the A bonds and smaller portions of the B and C bonds. It is proposed that IFC invest up to 4 million in B notes alongside EBRD. The project sponsors have sought the support of Soficatra, a Belgian investment management and consulting company that specializes in project finance at the community level, financial engineering, and consultancy on mergers and acquisitions. Soficatra plans to invest 1.0 million, with the same allocation between A and C notes as the founding partners. - Investment Approach COOP-EST will provide the financing either directly to local financial institutions or through regional bank intermediaries (such as Bank BISE and its subsidiary TISE in Poland) that serve such local financial institutions. The risk retained by COOP-EST will be that of local financial institutions and regional bank intermediaries. Poland and Slovakia are expected to be among the first countries targeted by the fund. The overall geographic balance of the funds investment will depend largely on the existence of a sufficiently stable legal framework, as well as the existence of reliable and readily operational partners. Proposed exposure guidelines include a 15% single client exposure limit and a 15% single country exposure limit (with the exception of Poland). In addition, the proceeds of the facility are subject to limitations in terms of the type of beneficiary institution (bank or non-bank) and type of investment (equity or debt). - Fund Management COOP-EST will be managed by a steering management group which initially will be staffed by three key members. COOP-EST will also create regional offices both in Poland (TISE) and in Slovakia (VERNUS). These offices will be responsible for prospecting eligible projects, and TISE will have the added responsibility of undertaking the due diligence of all eligible projects. The management group will have at its disposal an investment committee consisting of recognized investment professionals. The back-office functions of COOP-EST would be managed by Soficatra in Belgium, which would be responsible for follow-up and reporting.
The project has high development impact in terms of financial sector development, improved financial infrastructure and small scale entrepreneurial activity. The project would create a mechanism through which IFC can leverage its resources by a factor of five and provide a significant flow of financing to micro and small business banks that support the access of micro as well as small and medium sized entrepreneurs to credit and other financial services. The key development impacts would be to: - providing greater access to financing for underserved entrepreneurs; - supporting a financial infrastructure that facilitates the long-term access of micro and small business banks to sustainable sources of funding; - fostering the integration of microfinance institutions and cooperative banks into the mainstream financial sector; and - promoting of microfinance as a viable asset class to institutional investors.
