Process Review
Principal Strategic Options Explored in Detail – Key Considerations
Continue to Execute Current Plan | | Recapitalization (Share Repurchase and/or Dividend) | | Sale to Financial Sponsor | | Sale to Strategic Buyer |
| | | | | | |
| | | | Sale of Company in Pieces Does Not Appear to Represent a Viable Value Creation Proposition Due to Potential Tax Inefficiencies and Challenges in Delivering a 100% Sale Given Nature of Potential Buyer Universe and Underlying Business Dynamics |
| | | | |
(+) Use of free cash flow to delever, fund smaller acquisitions and return cash to shareholders (+) Attractive growth fundamentals, particularly in ASF | | (+) Significant accretion to EPS and EPS growth (+) Sends strong signal to public market (+) Meaningful liquidity opportunity for shareholders | | (+) Could deliver significant cash premium to current market price (+) Immediately actionable (+) Capitalizes on strong leveraged finance market | | (+) Theoretical possibility to capture value in excess of sale to a financial sponsor given synergy opportunity |
| | | | | | |
(-) Window for a potential sale may close due to industry conditions and/or leveraged finance market conditions (-) Float and liquidity challenges will persist | | (-) Adds financial leverage (-) P/E multiple may contract with significant incremental leverage (-) Unlikely to deliver full liquidity to shareholders desiring cash | | (-) Without perception of competition, absence of meaningful synergies could limit premium | | (-) Short list of potential buyers that have synergies and wherewithal to deliver premium value (-) Antitrust/divestiture risk |
