4 PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET DYNAMICS Private equity has become an important capital source for middle-market companies over the last decade A. Growth in capital available to private equity firms has been driven by institutional investors, such as endowments, pension funds & insurance companies, embracing private equity as an alternative asset class B. At the same time, higher valuation multiples & greater equity contributions in deals has caused expected returns on the funds to decline C. The $546 billion of uninvested capital currently available to PE firms represents over $1 trillion in purchasing power $400 $300 $200 $100 $- PE Capital Invested & Closed Transactions 2,916 $180 2,672 $245 3,431 $236 3,594 $332 3,412 $ ,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 $150 $100 $50 $0 119 ($ in Billions) $600 $500 $400 $300 $200 $ $- $440 $487 $516 $554 $ Uninvested Private Equity Capital PE Capital Raised & Funds Closed $90 $108 $133 $125 $ Capital Raised # Funds Closed STRATEGIC BUYER DYNAMICS Strategic buyers continue to view acquisitions as an important component of their growth strategy & they have substantial capital available to pursue acquisitions A. Nearly $1.7 trillion in cash on the balance sheets of U.S. nonfinancial companies rated by Moody s $504 billion (30%) of cash is held by five tech giants: Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Cisco & Oracle Top four cash-heavy industries include technology, health care/pharmaceuticals, consumer products & energy; all of which are the most active industry sectors in the M&A market B. In addition to domestic cash on balance sheets, about 72% of S&P 500 companies were holding approximately $2.5 trillion in offshore tax havens in 2015 $ in trillions $ in trillions $2.0 $1.5 $1.0 $0.5 Domestic Cash on Corporate Balance Sheets $ $4.0 $2.0 $0.0 Source: SEC Filings, Audit Analytics, Capital Economics Foreign Cash Held by U.S. Companies Overseas
5 MIDDLE-MARKET M&A METRICS Middle-market M&A is robust Middle-market deal multiples remain strong, although somewhat off record levels There is a distinct valuation bias to larger companies Low interest rates, substantial available capital & stable economic outlook has resulted in lenders increasing acceptable levels of leverage As valuation multiples have moved up, private equity firms have had to increase the amount of equity invested in transactions U.S. Middle-Market Deal Stats by Enterprise Value $10 - $25 MM 5.3x 5.8x 6.0x 5.6x 5.8x 6.0x $25 - $50 MM 6.4x 6.2x 6.8x 6.6x 6.6x 6.4x $50 - $100 MM 7.5x 6.7x 6.8x 8.4x 7.8x 7.3x $100 - $250 MM 7.7x 7.4x 7.5x 7.8x 9.0x 9.0x Historical Leverage Multiples Sub Debt/EBITDA 1.0x 1.1x 0.8x 1.0x 0.9x 0.8x Sr. Debt/EBITDA 2.4x 2.4x 2.6x 2.7x 3.0x 3.1x Total Debt/EBITDA 3.4x 3.5x 3.4x 3.7x 3.9x 3.9x Equity & Debt Contribution Equity 49.6% 46.6% 49.8% 46.5% 43.1% 45.4% Sub Debt 14.3% 16.5% 12.1% 14.7% 13.4% 11.4% Senior Debt 36.1% 36.9% 38.1% 38.4% 43.5% 43.1% Source: GF Data Resources CHARACTERISTICS THAT ATTRACT FINANCIAL SPONSORS Financial sponsors seek well-managed companies that generate sufficient cash flow, support a levered capital structure & possess achievable growth plans with logical exit opportunities in three to seven years Steady Cash Flow Consistent operating cash flow required to meet debt payments High margins, defensible position & strong customer relationships Limited working capital & capital expenditure requirements Leveragable Asset Base A/R, inventory & PP&E quality determines available leverage Asset-light businesses must generate strong recurring cash flow Strong Management Owner/operators will continue running the business for three to seven years Complementary operating team with proven industry track record Compelling Growth & Exit Strategies Achievable & profitable opportunities that use limited cash Product development, market expansion or add-on acquisitions Logical strategic buyer or initial public offering opportunity
6 WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SALE PROCESS Buyers are willing to pay top dollar for a business but they are unwilling to make mistakes Number one sin a buyer can commit is to overlook an issue that stringent due diligence would have uncovered; the look stupid effect Confidence on the part of the buyer in the representations made during transaction process is critical. A fail in due diligence can have significant impact on valuation, process & quite possibly, ultimate success of transaction Sale processes are taking longer. Bulk of this added time has been driven by added due diligence & legal documentation As a result, due diligence process can be an overwhelming exercise if not properly planned for & managed PREPARING TO GO TO MARKET Align shareholder & management interests Develop strong management team capable of running the business Evaluate benefit of an advisory board & establish discipline of reporting quarterly results Develop a sophisticated financial reporting process Identify & track financial add-backs & keep documentation readily available Regularly develop & monitor a business plan, competitive landscape, industry trends
7 PREPARING TO GO TO MARKET Understand the strategic fit with potential buyers Hire reputable law firm with significant M&A & tax expertise Consider spinning off unattractive/nonstrategic assets Obtain proper contracts with employees, customers & vendors, register all intellectual property Resolve any material outstanding litigation Evaluate personal financial matters with a wealth advisor to maximize proceeds post-transaction TRANSACTION PREPARATION DIAGNOSTIC Shareholder alignment Management team & advisors Financial reporting capabilities Business strategy Legal & regulatory
8 SHAREHOLDER ALIGNMENT Shareholder alignment Are your shareholders aligned with objectives? Valuation expectations Do your company shareholders have valuation expectations in line with what third-party advisors deem to be fair market value? Management alignment Are your company executives aligned with shareholders? Shareholder advisors Has your ownership group been engaged in a review of your company s strategic alternatives? MANAGEMENT TEAM & ADVISORS Management strength Are there any weak spots in your team that need to be filled or replaced? Are others being groomed to eventually run the business? Finance team How well prepared is your company lead finance executive to execute on tasks required in a transaction? Do they have past transaction experience? Transaction advisory team Have you engaged professional transaction advisors? Have you engaged an investment bank? Transaction experience Do your shareholders & managers have experience with control sale transactions? Have any previously sold a business to a strategic or financial buyer? Have any worked for a private equity-owned business?
9 FINANCIAL REPORTING CAPABILITIES Financial review status To what extent do you have your financial statements analyzed by a third-party accounting firm? Do you receive audited financials? Reviewed financials? Compilations? Only internal reporting? Financial analysis reporting How frequently does your financial team create the following financial analyses? Consolidated financial statements Forecasts & budgets Adjusted EBITDA Product contribution analyses Working capital needs Capital expenditure requirements Tax matters (federal, state) BUSINESS STRATEGY Business plan Do you have a formal business plan that articulates your current market strategy & growth opportunities?

Do you have any formal presentations on these topics? Does management informally discuss these issues? Are any of these issues not formally addressed? Company s value proposition S.W.O.T. analysis Customer concentration Competitive analysis Industry trends Acquisition opportunities
10 LEGAL/REGULATORY Potential liabilities How would you assess your company s exposure to potential threats in the following areas? Are records updated? Have you reviewed these issues with legal counsel? Are the records organized & easy to distribute? Environmental tests Lawsuits (current, threatened) Intellectual property Employee contracts Customer contracts Supplier contracts Facility contracts Labor agreements Contingent liabilities A SIGNIFICANT EVENT FOR ANY BUSINESS A transaction can be the single largest financial transaction of a private business owner s life For private equity, a successful exit is critical to generate required returns The transaction should not be taken lightly & consideration should be given to the exit strategy far in advance of Selling the entire company Recapitalizing the business Divesting a division or subsidiary Spinning off a division or product to Family member Other shareholders Management External investor Investing a subsidiary or division to form a joint venture
