JBIC will contribute up to USD50 million to the Fund.
     
  2. The Fund will identify and invest in companies operating mainly in the Asian region, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, China and Hong Kong, by utilizing CVC Group's networks in this region. The target amount of the Fund to be raised is USD3 billion. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited (SMTB) will also contribute up to USD50 million to the Fund.
     
  3. In recent overseas M&A by Japanese companies, it has been increasingly seen that PE funds sell companies for M&A.
