The fastest, simplest and most reliable way to achieve permanent residency in the United StatesAdministered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS), the EB-5 program approves and designates Regional Centers,
such as the LCR Overseas Regional Center, to attract foreign investment
into the U.S.
The EB-5 program enjoys rapid adjudication times and high individual
approval rates.
Since the program’s inception in 1990, thousands of immigrants have
received permanent U.S. residency, creating hundreds of thousands of
American jobs, at no cost to the U.S. taxpayer.

OTHER KEY BENEFITS
Hedge Local Currency
Depreciation
Use U.S. dollar-denominated EB-5
investment as depreciation hedge vs. local currency.
Direct Path to U.S. Citizenship
Can apply at the five year anniversary of
receipt of their conditional resident status.
No Expiration Date
The U.S. green card does not expire nor do your children lose when
they turn 21.
Easy to Qualify
No specialized skills required. No travel or age restrictions, and no language skills
requirement.
U.S. GREEN CARD IS VOLUNTARY AND CAN BE RETURNED AT ANY TIME
KEY BENEFITS
One of the most popular EB-5 investment options is for parents to donate the investment amount as a gift to their son or daughter and have them become the EB-5 investor
A U.S. green card provides your children with a significant
edge versus their international peers and improves their
odds of success before applying to college as well during
and after graduation.
PRE-COLLEGE DURING COLLEGE & POST COLLEGE
HIGHER UNIVERSITY ACCEPTANCE RATES
A foreign student, under an EB-5 visa, is treated as a U.S. resident applicant and thus will not be impacted by limitations applied to international students.
� Most U.S. universities limit foreign student populations to 20% or less of the student body.
� At UC-Berkeley, for example, the 2014 California resident acceptance rate was 19.5% compared to an international student acceptance rate of 8.8%.
LOWER TUITION RATES
As a U.S. green card holder, your children may qualify for reduced “in-state” tuition rates as well as merit-based scholarships and awards reserved only for U.S. residents and citizens
� Tuition rates for international students are significantly higher than those paid by U.S. residents.
� Foreign student tuition rates at top U.S. public universities maybe as much as $200,000 higher than “in state” tuition over a four year period.
EXPANDED EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Live and work anywhere in the U.S. and pursue full range of professional and business opportunities in the world’s largest economy
REMOVE UNCERTAINTY FROM YOUR CHILDREN’S EMPLOYMENT POSSIBILITIES
As a foreign university student or new graduate, your children are subject to a highly competitive lottery system in order to obtain the required H1-B employer-sponsored visa
� For example, In April 2015, the USCIS held lottery for 65K H1-B visas from over 233,000 applications
– Example: In 2010, Snapdeal co-founder and CEO, Kunal Bahl, after earning a management and technology degree at Wharton in Philadelphia, was forced to return home prematurely to New Dehli, India because the U.S. refused him a work visa to stay.

THE U.S. IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE MARKET IN THE WORLD FOR IMMIGRANTS TO START A NEW BUSINESS
“America, after all, was and
is a country of immigrants” —Google CEO, Sundar Pichai
In Silicon Valley, the percentage of immigrant-founded startups has increased to 52.4%.
1Source: 2013 study by The Partnership for a New American Economy
More than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants
or the children of immigrants
According to Fortune Magazine, 50% of the members of Fortune’s 2015 Forty Under 40 are first-generation U.S. immigrants
U.S. immigrants are more than twice as likely to start a business as the native-
born and U.S. immigrants started 28 percent
of all new U.S. businesses in 2011, despite
accounting for just 12.9 percent of the U.S.
population.1
As of 2011, immigrant-run businesses employed one in 10 American workers.
1Source: U.S. Department of State - Department of Consular Affairs - Report of the Visa Office 2015
Prior to 2009, foreign investors used only a small fraction of the 10,000 visas allocated annually to the
EB-5 program. In recent years, however, EB-5 demand has increased dramatically. In fact, Chinese
applicants reached their per-country limit in 2014 and again in 2015

business executives and entrepreneurs, and U.S. college students. They range in age from 1 years old to 56
years old.
LCR’s focus on transparency and investor protection has yielded positive feedback from a diverse network of
EB-5 investors from all over the globe:
“Like everything in life, the project has a risk, but it seems to be a very small risk, and it is done by competent people.”
“Other visas don’t have the same flexibility. If my children keep their student visas, after they graduate, they will need to get a work visa or find a company to sponsor them.”
“It is not in my interest to manage a new business and I don’t have the experience. That is why I did not choose the direct EB-5.”

LCR’s American Opportunity Franchise Fund IV, L.P. LCR’s fourth EB-5 project, AOFF IV, extends experienced multi-unit operators
with senior-secured loans to partially finance the construction of up to 72
new Dunkin’ restaurants within the states of Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, and
Mississippi. Each of our borrowers endures a rigorous, underwriting process
before being selected. LCR typically requires each borrower to contribute on
average 25% of new store development cost with their personal equity. LCR
will also invest in construction of Dunkin’ buildings to be leased to same
Dunkin’ operators.

FOCUS ON PRINCIPAL PROTECTION AND RETURN
Diversified Portfolio
� LCR will make multiple loans to experienced multi-unit Dunkin’ operators to build new stores across large territory
� In the (unlikely) event of default of one or more loans, the portfolio structure of AOFF IV’s senior collateralized loans provides superior protection to an EB-5 investor’s principal
� Dunkin’ Loan Recovery Rate = 80%
Senior Secured vs. Mezzanine
� LCR will only make senior-secured loans to the best Dunkin’ operators. This segment of operators typically have a net worth > $15 MM
� Traditional EB-5 real estate projects are mezzanine/subordinated loans in one asset, where default on loan may lead to ZERO recovery
Land/Building Ownership
� AOFF IV may purchase land under its new store locations and thus add portfolio revenue through rental income and land sales at end of holding period
� Traditional EB-5 real estate projects typically have investment risk concentrated in ONE asset
Defined Exit Strategy
� With a projected $70 million in revenue and principal return over 5 years, available cash projected for AOFF IV is expected to be more than enough to cover the $49 million in investor fund

MESSAGE FROM LCR’S CEO
Dear Investor,
As a firm founded by first generation U.S. immigrants, LCR takes its mission very seriously: to serve as a
trusted and reliable partner to our EB-5 investors as they successfully navigate a transition towards U.S.
residency.
By transforming a government immigration program into a standardized financial product that maximizes
job creation, mitigates risk and protects investors’ principal, our firm’s EB-5 franchise finance funds
continue to be rewarded by strong international investor demand, both from our original investor markets
such as Brazil and China as well as emerging EB-5 markets like India and the Middle East.
We would like to thank our investors for their continued support and confidence in our abilities, our
Board for their leadership, and our employees for their collaboration and deep commitment to our rapidly
emerging firm.
Sincerely,
Suresh Rajan
