Do Not Dupicale or Cia-oute 24 For exclusive of Jeffrey Epstein EFTA01101132 introduction 8 team 0obal uthty sector philosophy & process portfolio 8 rig( management fund information app, performance-related disclaimers All returns from September 2005 through May 2008 are derived from the annual audited returns of the Electron Global Utility Fund, Ltd ("Electron Original Fund"). Al returns from July 2008 through Apdl 2012 are derived by Electron from information (the "Information") consisting of the buying power ("8P")'. gross market value ("GMV")2 and gross profit/loss ("PnL") of the account managed by Jos Shaver (the "Account") at SAC Capital Advisors. L.P. ("SAC"). and provided by SAC to both Jos Shaver on July 2, 2012 and Rothstein Kass on November 12, 2012. In preparing these returns. Electron considered a variety of methods of converting the Account Information into estimated "hedge fund" returns, and selected the methods that it believes are most representative of how the Account would have performed had it been a "hedge fund". The use of other conversion methods could have resulted in significantly lower or higher returns. In addition. Electron made certain assumptions about the expected operations of the Fund. It can be expected that some or all of such assumptions will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Recipients of this presentation are urged to make their own examination of the Information presented. Please be advised that the Information provided by SAC is confidential and a confidentiality agreement will need to be executed by a potential investor to review the Account Information. To convert the Account Information into an estimated "hedge fund" return. Electron aggregated the daily PnL of the Account, divided the aggregate PnL by the GMV of the Account as of the beginning of the applicable month, and multiplied by 185% (since 185% is the median gross exposure ratio for the Electron Original Fund).3 For 2008, volatile GMV levels due to high cash levels (less than 1/3 of BP deployed for all 2008 months and see http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122394318763531045.html) would produce results that Electron believes do not accurately reflect how a "hedge fund" would have performed under similar market circumstances and constraints. Electron adjusted the formula by using the BP of the Account as of the beginning of the applicable month instead of the GMV. and by multiplying the result by 119% (since 119% is the median daily BP to GMV ratio)! If the BP adjustment is not used for 2008 and GMV is used as in other years. the annualized return for the combined track record would be 13.26% instead of 10.34% and the standard deviation would be 19.16% Instead of 8.94%. Finally, BP was taken to zero on April 13, 2012 when Jos Shaver resigned from SAC. Rothstein Kass performed agreed•upon procedures which recalculated the results for the SAC period from July 2008 through April 2012 using the Information provided to them directly from SAC on November 12, 2012 and according to the method outlined above. The results are presented net of a 1.5% management fee (calculated monthly in arrears) and 20% annual performance allocation. The results of the Electron Original Fund are presented net of all actual expenses incurred by the Electron Original Fund. The results of the Account are presented net of financing costs and other charges associated with investment decisions, but do not reflect the deduction of administrative. legal. accounting. regulatory and other "hedge fund" expenses. In providing information to Rothstein Kass and us, SAC has informed us that it and its affiliated entities have no responsibility or liability in connection with the information provided herein and do not guarantee the accuracy of such information. While in no way limiting the foregoing, each recipient understands and agrees that (i) the information provided by SAC is based on unaudited information, may involve the use of estimates and assumptions and therefore may not be completely accurate, (ii) neither SAC nor any affiliate thereof will have any obligation to verify the information provided herein (or the accuracy thereof) to the recipient or any third party, and (iii) neither SAC nor any affiliate thereof will have any liability to the recipient or any third party. 1. BP is the maximum Gross Market Value that could be held in the Account 2. GMV is the sum of USD equivalent absolute market value of each security in the Account at the end of each trading day. USD market value for each security is calculated using the exchange close prices and translated to USD using the daily 3:00PM EST FX rate posted on Reuters. Calculations exclude currency forward contracts and cash balances posted to the Account. GMV for option contracts is calculated based upon the number of such contracts multiplied by the apple-able dosing price for such contract multiplied by the applicable option multiplier for such contract. Illiquid positions. if any, are valued at recent transaction price or at SAC's discretion. 3. The resulting formula is (monthly PnL)/(GMV month beginning) x 185%. 4. The resulting formula for 2008 is (monthly PnL)/(BP month beginning) x 185% x 119%. ELECTRON CAPITAL PARTNERS LLC Stncty Do Not Dupicale or D'* bolo. For exclusive of Jeffrey Epstein EFTA01101133
