EAIF has a flexible investment approval process, comprising three stages:

• Initial review and submission by FMFM to EAIF's New Business Committee.
• Due diligence and negotiation of a term sheet by FMFM with the client, followed by submission to EAIF's Credit Committee and Board.
• Execution of documentation.

Each of the committees and the Board are able to convene on an as needed basis so as to facilitate compliance with commercial timetables.
