Signature Group Holdings, Inc. (“Signature”) is a diversified business and financial services enterprise that intends to generate strong, risk-adjusted return on equity while protecting shareholder capital. Signature presently operates in two primary business lines: (i) Special Situation Lending and (ii) Strategic Acquisitions. Additionally, Signature maintains and is managing certain assets and liabilities related to Fremont General Corporation’s former businesses, which include a portfolio of subprime residential real estate mortgages, residential real estate, commercial real estate investments and litigation claims under fidelity insurance bonds Fremont held.

The Special Situations Lending business segment focuses on providing senior secured and other structured financing in the form of newly originated commercial and industrial loans, leases and real estate mortgages as well as acquisitions of similarly structured debt instruments, frequently at a discount.

The Strategic Acquisitions segment focuses on obtaining significant equity interests in middle market companies through direct equity investments or structured debt transactions that result in equity ownership.

Signature has an opportunistic approach to deploying capital. We do not approach potential opportunities with any preconceived parameters with respect to a target company’s size, historical operating performance, industry segment, geographic location, or any other particular characteristics. Rather, we evaluate opportunities with a focus on structures that are designed to produce high returns for shareholders relative to the underlying risks.
