Our Policy Standards Eligibility Criteria for Investors Policy Standards for Projects Investors and project proposals must satisfy certain policy criteria to receive OPIC financing and insurance. OPIC supported projects must: Contribute to sustainable development goals Be located in one of our ~160 eligible countries Comply with international environmental standards Support international human rights and worker rights regulations Cause no loss of U.S. jobs or adverse impact on the U.S. economy 6 To be eligible for OPIC financing and insurance, applicants must: Have a commercially viable business plan and successful track record Involve the U.S. private sector in a meaningful way in the project seeking OPIC support Maintain private sector control (<50% government ownership) The U.S. Government’s Development Finance Institution

7 How Does OPIC Define U.S.? A U.S.-organized entity generally must be at least 25% U.S.-owned. A foreign organized entity generally must be at least majority U.S.-owned. How Does OPIC Measure U.S. Involvement? OPIC requires U.S. involvement in the project company in an amount that is equivalent to 25% of the project company’s equity, which may be met with equity, long-term debt or other U.S. contracts or, by combining these types of involvement. OPIC will support investment funds if the fund has raised U.S. equity equal to 25% of OPIC’s loan support or if the fund is managed by a U.S. manager. How Does OPIC Measure the Duration of U.S. Involvement? For an ongoing project, U.S. entities need to retain a 25% interest in the project through final disbursement of the OPIC loan. In the case of a start-up or ‘greenfield’ project, the U.S. entities need to retain a 25% interest through physical completion of the project. OPIC must approve any proposed transferee of the interest. How Does OPIC Define U.S. Small Business? For OPIC to finance a project with a direct loan, the US involvement must come from US small business. A “small” business includes: a business with annual revenues during the last fiscal year of less than $400M; entities/individuals without revenues, net worth of less than $100M. Consistent with the U.S. Small Business Administration, OPIC also considers a business with 500 or fewer employees as “small.” U.S. Connections in OPIC-Supported Projects OPIC policy requires that finance and direct insurance projects have a meaningful connection to the U.S. private sector. The U.S. Government’s Development Finance Institution
