                                     (2)   recapitalization - this strategy allows the private

                                           equity firm to partly exit from the portfolio
                                           company by having the portfolio company increases

                                           its capital such that the firmûs shareholding therein

                                           is diluted. However, as the firm will remain having
                                           a stake in the portfolio company, it can tap the

                                           growth of the company, and may fully exit the

                                           company at a later stage;


                                     (3)   write-off - in the case where portfolio companyûs

                                           performance is so poor that the private equity firm

                                           wishes to walk away from its investment, it may
                                           write-off its investment and exit the portfolio

                4       Strategy of Private Equity Investments


                        In essence, private equity investments aim at reviving or expanding

                        a potential business, and selling it when the time is right. To limit its

                        liabilities and avoid being subject to the foreign investment restriction,
                        private equity firms typically form an SPV in Thailand to be its

                        investment entity in a Thai portfolio company.
