Carbonia also invests and participates in tax credit monetization transactions.

Carbonia, together with its LPs, provides capital to companies in transactions secured by the company's legal and contingent assets.

Companies can monetize their deferred tax assets ("DTAs") through a tax credit agreement, which allows the company to give up a portion of the tax savings from its DTAs in exchange for an upfront equity investment.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many companies have accumulated tax losses and deductions attributable to unused credits (collectively referred to as net operating losses or "NOLs") and can monetize the value of these NOLs and other DTAs through a tax credit agreement immediately.

Tax credit agreements allow companies and financial institutions to:

• Access a source of liquidity with contingent payments tied solely to the company's profitability that never exceed the company's otherwise realized tax benefit; and
• Monetize an asset that is not typically valued in the public markets with a non-dilutive source of capital.

Waterfalls can be structured in different ways and against different types of DTAs, depending on the firm's preferences and available DTAs.

Carbonia invests in companies with significant patent portfolios and/or acquires patent portfolios and then monetizes them appropriately.

Patent litigation financing, generally referred to as patent infringement financing, involves the financing of legal proceedings brought by the injured party for the use, copying or sale of the injured party's invention. Essentially, the inventor alleges that the defendant unlawfully used, copied or sold the invention without the express approval of the inventor.

Typical candidates include individual inventors, small entities and universities, as they generally do not have the financial resources to self-fund a patent lawsuit.

Carbonia in patent litigation funding can:

• Invest directly in cases with various formulas that include an upfront payment, funding of trial costs, and a waterfall scheme to share in the final outcome of the case.
• Provide law firms with the capital they need to maintain their operating and marketing expenses while dealing with IP cases.
• Give law firms the opportunity to take on precedent-setting cases.
• Provide firms with the financial strength they need to expect the largest settlement possible.
