We are here to discuss the proposal to convert OMIF to a REIT

REQUESTS TO REDEEM LP UNITS IN EXCESS OF 108,000,000 UNITS  REPRESENTS 38% OF ALL OUTSTANDING UNITS AS OF 9/30/12: 1 - As of 9/30/12, there were approximately 281,479,000 Units (including all Units held by the General Partner). LIQUIDITY

DO NOTHING   WE BELIEVE THIS: Inhibits our ability to manage the fund profitably Results in slow liquidity for LP units Diminishes OMIF value LIQUIDATE Third party analysis shows liquidation would likely result in value of less than $.50/unit 2 SOLUTIONS OTHER THAN REIT Based on ValuCorp International Inc. Appraisal Opinion of Orderly Liquidation Value as of 6/30/12 which is defined as “Liquidation value at which the       asset or assets are sold over a reasonable period of time to maximize proceeds received.”

CONVERTING TO A REIT: Liquidity opportunity through a national stock exchange Management believes OMIF will be more profitable as a publicly traded REIT Allows the company to invest capital in loans instead of making redemptions Stock price volatility

When shares of the post-conversion REIT are sold in the public markets by existing stockholders to parties other than the REIT, the REIT’s assets  will continue to be invested. Authorized redemptions by OMIF currently require OMIF to reduce its assets to pay the redemption amount.

A decrease in market value of the shares of common stock of the REIT following the proposed conversion will NOT affect the per share book value of the proposed post-conversion REIT.

Opportunity for increased income and distributions by resuming lending activities Provide the opportunity to maximize the liquidation value of our real estate assets Create an opportunity for liquidity through listing on a national securities exchange Primary goals of the proposed conversion:

Conversion to a REIT requires 50%6 +1 of the outstanding limited partner units to vote “YES” 6 - As of the close of business on the record date, the affirmative vote of 138,782,045 LP Units will be required to approve the       merger proposal. The majority vote requirement excludes any LP Units held by the General Partner.

The manager of OMIF recommends a YES vote

We Believe That If You Want: An opportunity for near term liquidity? Your vote should be Yes. An opportunity for liquidity in the future? Your vote should be Yes. Your heirs to have an opportunity for liquidity upon your death? Your vote should be Yes. To stay in the REIT until it expires? Your vote should be Yes.

We are a commercial real estate company that acquires, manages, and finances, directly or through our subsidiaries, commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate debt, commercial real property, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, other commercial real estate-related assets and Agency residential mortgage-backed securities. 7   7 - Narrative taken from CreXus Investment Corporation’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on 3/1/2013.  For further  information regarding CreXus Investment Corporation we refer you to their reports available on the Internet at SEC.gov.
