Motion Decision Tree – How to Respond to IDG-Accel Offer Reject Offer Accept / Negotiate / No Go Shop Accept / Negotiate / Go Shop Negotiate Offer & Restart Whole Process Fairness / Inadequacy Opinion -> Reject Potential Responses to IDG-Accel Offer No Fee Opinion Fee Full Engagement Fee Full Engagement Fee Full Engagement Fee RBC Fee Risks to S/Holders Pro’s Description Reject the $4.00 / share offer outright Hard to justify not even considering a 127%(1) premium bid May be room to negotiate for better offer (1) Represents a premium over 11/12/12 close price of $1.76. Faster and cheaper option Helps focus on execution RBC to provide a Fairness / Inadequacy Opinion In event of fairness – will need to consider taking the offer; less room to negotiate In event of inadequacy –creating an official floor for acceptable valuation (less flexibility later) Safer choice Relatively inexpensive for company No need to re-start the process Negotiate affirmatively, to an acceptable range and enter exclusivity Potential buyers left on the table ([***], [***], [***]) Lack of competitive tension can lead to 11th hour price revision $4.00 can be best and final offer Faster and more straightforward choice to get a deal done; company can focus on execution Minimize leaks Negotiate affirmatively, to an acceptable range and do a market check with selected players Targeted market check may not be comprehensive enough May scare IDG-Accel off More time-consuming: more management meetings Ensures competitive tension and a potential bidding war Leaks still minimized Not give any affirmation; immediately re-start sell-side process and reach out to original broad base of buyers May scare IDG-Accel off Encourages parties to kick the tires again – great time suck for management Increases chance of leaks; poor signal to the market Ensures competitive tension and a potential bidding war Allows the previously-declined parties to re-evaluate [***] indicates information that has been omitted on the basis of a confidential treatment request pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Exchange Act and has been filed separately with the SEC. |
