2012 HIGHLIGHTS CIT Group, Inc. We served as the exclusive financial advisor to CIT Group, Inc. a bank holding company focused on providing lending, leasing and advisory services to small- and mid-cap businesses on the sale of a commercial and industrial loan portfolio to Lone Star Funds. As part of this unique secondary advisory assignment, we performed a detailed valuation and recovery analysis to develop comprehensive asset-level disclosure materials. We also conducted a targeted sales process including participation from both financial and strategic investors. By creating a high degree of transparency to support price discovery, we were able to achieve an optimal outcome that met CIT s objectives and enabled Lone Star Funds to accelerate the development of its corporate credit platform. eircom We acted as the financial advisor to the coordinating committee of the first-lien lenders of eircom the largest fixed-line telecommunications operator in the Republic of Ireland in the largest bankruptcy in Irish history. We designed a restructuring plan in which the first-lien lenders acquired eircom through a partial equitization of its 3 billion senior facilities and restructuring of its 350 million floating-rate note and 700 million floating-rate senior PIK notes. Despite a large and diverse syndicate, the restructuring plan received consent from a majority of senior lenders as well as support from other key stakeholders, such as the trade unions and the Irish telecom regulator. The restructuring plan was implemented through Irish examinership with no precedent for a transaction of this size and complexity. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. We served as the financial advisor to the official committee of unsecured creditors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its domestic affiliates. This transaction marks the largest bankruptcy filing in history with filed claims in excess of $1 trillion globally and pre-petition assets of more than $630 billion. We oversaw the asset disposition strategies of all major asset categories, including real estate, private equity, loan book and derivatives, negotiating resolutions on hundreds of transactional and claim situations, including the resolution of Lehman s two FDIC insured banks. We helped structure, negotiate and consummate the plan of reorganization that restructured approximately $350 billion of liabilities for Lehman Brothers and its affiliates, which was unanimously accepted by all classes voting for the plan. Schiff Nutrition International, Inc. We served as financial advisor to Schiff Nutrition International, Inc. a market leader in the U.S. vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS) category on its sale to Reckitt Benckiser LLC (a subgroup of Reckitt Benckiser Group plc) for $42 per share or a transaction value of $1.45 billion (approximately 1.13 billion). In addition, we rendered a fairness opinion on behalf of Schiff s board of directors. The purchase price represented an 81.1% premium to the company s undisturbed stock price. The transaction allows Reckitt to solidify its position in the Consumer Health sector and expand into the large and rapidly growing VMS category.
