Investor in Houston, Texas

## About Ara Partners

We invest in technologies that are displacing existing, polluting industrial processes, as well as the businesses that provide products and services to decarbonization platforms.

Our investments target areas of the economy that can achieve significant decarbonization results by increasing energy, resource, and process efficiency.

Sector focus:

▪ Industrial and manufacturing ▪ Chemicals and materials ▪ Food and agriculture ▪ Energy efficiency and green fuels

Investment Criteria

▪ Decarbonization technologies with a cost advantage We invest in technologies that deliver better decarbonization results compared with conventional products or processes – at cost-parity or lower.

▪ Clear path to control and value creation We target a controlling stake in cash-generative or late-stage growth businesses where we see multiple opportunities to drive growth.

▪ Investment protection We look for businesses with some form of intellectual property and will seek to create downside protection via structured equity investments, where appropriate.

▪ Solid fundamentals We target businesses that can deliver strong financial returns, underpinned by a sizeable addressable market and established long-term contracts.
