摘要

EBJ: Congratulations on the recentinvestment partnership with CharterhouseCapital Partners. We know thisis the 3rd major private equity infusioninto the company. Was the process substantiallydifferent from your previoustransactions with 3i and Livingbridge?SLR: Thank you. The process that resultedin the Charterhouse investment wasnot substantially different from our previoustransactions, although SLR in 2018is much larger and geographically morediversified than the 2008 business 3i investedin, so there were various steps weneeded to follow in various jurisdictionsthat were different this time around. Theprocess overall was relatively straightforwardand, in many ways, not dissimilar tothe previous investments.
