              <Paragraph>The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) was established in 1971 as an independent agency by the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act (112 Stat. 2681-790). OPIC helps U.S. businesses invest overseas, fosters economic development in new and emerging markets, complements the private sector in managing risks associated with foreign direct investment, and supports U.S. foreign policy. OPIC charges market-based fees for its products, and it operates on a self-sustaining basis at no net cost to taxpayers.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>OPIC is the U.S. Government’s development finance institution. It mobilizes private capital to help solve critical development challenges and in doing so, advances U.S. foreign policy. Because OPIC works with the U.S. private sector, it helps U.S. businesses gain footholds in emerging markets, catalyzing revenues, jobs, and growth opportunities both at home and abroad. OPIC achieves its mission by providing investors with financing, guarantees, political risk insurance, and support for private equity investment funds.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>OPIC financing provides medium- to long-term funding through direct loans and loan guaranties to eligible investment projects. Small- and medium-enterprise financing is available for businesses with annual revenues of less than $400 million, while OPIC’s structured financing focuses on larger U.S. businesses and supports large-scale projects that require great amounts of capital. For businesses with annual revenues less than $35 million, OPIC’s Small Business Center (SBC) offers qualified small businesses the opportunity to utilize OPIC’s streamlined approval process.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>Loans and guarantees range from a minimum $350,000 to a maximum of $250 million on projects sponsored by U.S. businesses. If a project requires more than OPIC’s maximum per-project lending capacity, OPIC is experienced in working with colenders to bring sufficient resources to a project. In most cases, the U.S. sponsor is expected to contribute at least 25 percent of the project equity, have a proven record in the industry, and have the means to contribute to the financial successes of the project.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>In response to the shortfall of private equity capital in developing countries, OPIC provides support for the creation of privately owned and managed investment funds. OPIC is one of the largest private equity fund sponsors in developing nations and is typically one of the first to enter an unproven market in that capacity. These funds make direct equity and equity-related investments in new, expanding, or privatizing emerging market companies. OPIC-supported funds help emerging economies access long-term growth capital, management skills, and financial expertise, all of which are key factors in expanding economic development and creating new opportunities for people in low-income and developing nations.</Paragraph>
