Executive Summary
•
Galloway Partners ("GP") is a newly established investment management company that specializes in
acquiring influential ownership stakes in distressed, small & micro cap companies. GP's strategy is to
use an "activist" approach to drive a turnaround in corporate value which will benefit both
stakeholders and shareholders of GP's portfolio companies.
• GP's primary focus is on US-listed companies which are in the Tech/Telcom, Natural Resources,
Consumer Retail, Healthcare Services and Business Services sectors. GP's target return is 2-5x on
invested capital over a 2-4 year investment horizon.
•
Due to a unique confluence of events, valuations for many small and micro cap companies have been
pushed to distressed levels. Market inefficiencies are at an all-time high due to a dramatic reduction in
the number of buy-side and sell-side participants in the Small and Micro cap space. As a result, GP
believes that current market conditions are ripe for producing once-in-a-generation returns.
• Co-founded and controlled by Bruce Galloway, GP is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the current
market opportunity. Bruce Galloway has over 25 years of experience researching and investing in the
Small and Micro cap sector. In addition to being recognized as one of the industry's leading investors,
he has an unparalleled network of contacts and relationships to help source and assess potential
investments.
•
GP has identified several initial investments which meet its investment requirements. GP is seeking to
raise US$50-100 million in a first closing for a new hedge find ("Strategic Opportunities Fund")
which will invest in Small and Micro caps. GP intends to transfer all control stakes to a newly formed
investment holding company ("LISTCO") and file a registration statement in order to affect a public
listing of LISTCO's shares.

Market Opportunity
"A Perfect Storm"
Increased
Regulation
• Increased capital requirements and costs of compliance has
forced many of the traditional broker-dealers in the sector
to merge or close
• FINRA is aggressively cracking down on market
misconduct and raising the standards for issuers
Redemptions
• Market collapse due to the Credit Crisis of 2007-8 led to a
wave of hedge funds, which specialized in the sector,
shutting down
• Fund flows out of the sector resulted in forced liquidation
of positions into a market with no new buyers
• Clearinghouses unwilling to take in OTC securities
• Limited research coverage
• Reputational concerns
Source: Company data
• Stocks of many lower
ranked Small & Micro
Caps remain at or near all-
time lows
• Valuations are compelling

• The winnowing of broker-dealers which
were active in the Small & Mid Cap
sector has dramatically altered the
competitive landscape
•
Hedge fund participation is virtually not
existent. Position sizes of large funds
are too large for the sector and most of
the smaller, dedicated funds have shut
down due to poor performance
• Traditional long-only funds are
constrained by restrictions on buying
shares trading below US$1.00 and/or
owning shares with small floats and
limited daily trading volumes
• No true Micro Cap ETFs
Due to the sharp reduction in market participants, there are very few ways to get exposure
to the most attractive small and micro cap names

GP's core investment universe consists
of approximately 500-1,000 companies
across five key sectors, which
collectively represent approximately
50% of the total market cap in the
small and micro cap sector
•
Median market cap of GP's target
companies is approximately US$75
million and max is US$1,200 billion.
Many of the target companies are
former Midcap companies which have
been sold down so much that they now
classify as Micro and Nano caps
•
Typically target companies will have
been trading at historically low
valuations for close to 36-60 months
