ABOU THE PVIL SHAREHOLDER TRUST 1 October 22, 2015

OVERVIEW PVIL Shareholders voted overwhelmingly on 10/17/2015 to approve the PVIL Shareholder Trust as a Settlement Trust under ANCSA A Trust Agreement between Paug-Vik and the initial Trustees of the Trust establishes the Trust and the rules under which the Trust will operate PVIL’s shareholders are the Beneficiaries of the Trust, that is, the persons who will receive benefits from the Trust 2

OVERVIEW Transfers into the Trust will be made from Paug-Vik’s future profits, as determined by Paug-Vik’s Board The Paug-Vik existing directors are the initial Trustees of the Trust New Paug-Vik Directors automatically become Trustees when they become Paug- Vik Directors 3

OTHER KEY TERMS Contributions: What is placed in the Trust Income: What the Trust earns Principal or Corpus: Contributions plus any income reinvested in the Trust Trust Review: The process by which a decision is made whether certain major modifications should be made to the Trust after the Trust is established 4

Special ANCSA Rules For The Trust The Trust Cannot Operate A Business – Passive Investment Only PVIL must control Trustee Appointment Only Individuals Can Be Trustees Trust Must Be Registered In Alaska No reconveyance of ANCSA lands by Trust 6

Information About Other Existing ANCSA Settlement Trusts There are presently about 30 ANCSA settlement trusts, holding about $330 million in assets Most common type is a Pro Rata Income Distribution Trust Next common is an Elders Trust There are a small number of other types of Trusts 7

CURRENT TAX TREATMENT OF PVIL & ITS SHAREHOLDERS PVIL is currently fully taxable PVIL will pay a combined state and federal tax rate of about 40% on ALL income Shareholders pay tax on PVIL’s dividends at rates of 0% to approximately 20% “Average” PVIL Shareholder tax rate: 15% 8

SPECIAL TAX RULES APPLY TO THE TRUST AND ITS BENEFICIARIES Contributions to Trust Are Tax Free To the Trust No corporate deduction for contributions Distributions Of Trust Income To Beneficiaries are Tax Free NO 1099s sent to Beneficiaries Beneficiaries do NOT include tax free Trust distributions on their tax returns 9

Contrast of Tax Treatment of PVIL & Trust on $500,000 of Income PVIL Trust (With 646 Election) Assumed Income ($10 million investment fund earning 5% annual interest) $500,000 Tax To Either PVIL or Trust (200,000) (50,000) Available for Distribution$ 300,000$ 450,000 Tax to Shareholders (assumed overall 15%) or Beneficiaries (0%) (45,000) (0) Kept By Shareholders or Beneficiaries$ 255,000 (51%) $450,000 (90%) 11

Contrast of Tax Treatment of PVIL & Trust on $500,000 of Income The Trust is highly tax efficient This means more net after tax income is available to produce a given level of distributions for PVIL’s shareholders It also means PVIL’s shareholders (as the Trust’s Beneficiaries) will keep more of what the Trust distributes versus what PVIL distributes 12
