With private equity fundraising continuing to be a tough challenge, and new restrictions on bank investments, more and more fund managers and bank executives are eyeing Small Business Investment Company licenses -- with good reason.

Say you’re a fund manager, and you play by Uncle Sam’s rules, you can obtain twice the amount of the private capital you raise, at incredibly favorable SBA rates. And if you’re a bank wondering how to continue your investment program in American small companies, you can obtain other unique benefits as well.

And these potential advantages of SBICs may well get even better in the weeks to come. In the current legislative whirlwind, there are multiple initiatives in committee and being readied for final votes that can change the game of middle-market investing.

That’s why The Capital Roundtable isn’t waiting until 2011 to revisit the SBIC industry. Our SBIC conference this past March was filled to capacity, and we never like turning people away. Moreover, this summer’s pending new rules are certain to make SBICs the talk of fall.

So the timing couldn’t be better for our upcoming full-day conference, being held all day Wednesday, September 15, in New York City --

SBICs After Regulatory Reform --

The Latest Word on Legislative, Regulatory,

& Funding Provisions Now in Progress

How to Get All the Advantages,

& Why PE Firms & Institutions Are Lining Up

By the time you read this, there will likely be new news to report -- and indeed, please continue to visit us online as we keep up with the changes that are adopted.

This conference will be a prime opportunity to understand how the new legislation affects existing SBICs, the licensing of new SBICs, and the ways SBICs can be managed for maximum success in 2011 and beyond.

And by making your attendance plans today, you can assure yourself both a comfortable seat and a substantial discount. Sign up right now, and you will be entitled to a $400 Early Bird Savings!

The Times -- & Rewards -- Are Changing.

Four key proposals are now in play, and each of them, with final passage, will significantly affect the SBIC landscape.

First, the recently passed Senate version of the SBIC Modernization Act is now being reconciled with the previously passed House version. If and when the final bill is signed by President Obama, the amount of leverage available to SBICs may rise to $350MM from the present $225MM. In addition, existing SBICs will have an easier path for obtaining additional licenses.

Next, the Small Business Jobs Tax Relief Act recently passed by the House includes a 100 percent capital gains exclusion for stock in qualified small business companies held for four years. This would also allow SBICs to avoid the carried interest tax being proposed as a line item in the Federal budget for eligible investments. The bill is now in Senate conference, and if passed and signed into law would have a major positive impact on middle-market PE investment, affecting SBICs and non-SBICs alike.

Third, the Obama Administration’s Financial Reform legislation now in committee contains the proposed “Volcker Rule” that would prohibit banks from backing most private equity funds and hedge funds -- but with an exemption for SBIC investments. If passed as expected, this would make SBICs one of the only ways for banks to participate in private equity, and open the door for a raft of new non-leveraged SBICs formed by banks.

Lastly, a new statute currently in the legislative process would create a new equity program for early-stage companies, funded by a one billion dollar appropriation administered by the SBA. While not labeled as an SBIC, it would essentially be a first cousin, with similar regulations and similar licensing requirements.

With so much in flux, this full-day SBIC conference on Wednesday, September 15, will be ground zero for everyone seeking clarification, counsel, and candid insights on operating as an SBIC.

Whether you’re interested in SBIC licensing or investing, seeking deal prospects, creating a non-leveraged SBIC, meeting SBA and NASBIC officials, or linking up with SBIC management who can use your professional services, you won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind event.

Most of all, you won’t want to hear all our seats are filled -- so please register now.

20 Specialized Experts on SBICs Speak Their Minds.

To guide you through all of these challenges and opportunities, The Capital Roundtable is pleased to welcome as our chair Jim Goodman, president of Gemini Investors, a leading private equity firm headquartered in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with investments in 80 middle-market companies. Jim and his partners have been granted five SBIC licenses over the last 15 years.

Gemini was named the 2009 SBIC of the Year by the Small Business Administration in recognition for their excellent performance during the economic recovery.

To bring you expert counsel from a legal perspective, our introductory keynote speaker is Michael B. Staebler of Pepper Hamilton LLP, the country’s largest and most active SBIC practice. Mike ran an SBIC for six years and has represented more than 180 licensed SBICs since 1972.

In addition, you’ll have plenty of time during the day to network with our featured speakers plus your fellow attendees. At both scheduled breaks and a working lunch, you’ll be able to pose real-world questions like these --

• What is the current status of SBIC bills still in committee, and what are the ramifications of newly passed legislation?
• What are the key mistakes firms make most frequently when seeking SBIC licensing?
• Should your bank establish an unleveraged SBIC?
• Can you expect increases in the capital available to SBICs, and how much capital can you likely access?
• What are the immediate benefits to investors from changed SBIC rules, and what will be the picture down the road?
• Will SBIC licensing affect your capability to pursue larger deals?
• What characteristics are required by the SBA for SBIC’s management team?
• What is different about following SBA rules versus conventional PE management techniques?
• And much, much more.
