What capital will your business need on the horizon? 41 North Advisors was born out of the fact that our world’s financial conditions and seascape are constantly changing.

Whether it is to grow your business to the next level, fund production and marketing or quietly explore an exit or a financial partner, 41 North Advisors has the experience, network and the expertise to guide you. • Latitude 41 degrees North refers to the navigable waters from Montauk, at the northern tip of Long Island, New York, to the upper arm of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. These waters provide yachtsmen with some of the best sailing and boating in the world. While on most days, they yield calm waters and gentle breezes, these waters can quickly turn to often dangerous and challenging conditions with shifting shoals, hidden obstructions, and thick fog with white, caped seas. Few individuals are suited to navigate through such conditions.

Strategic vs. Financial Investors Financial Buyers Strategic Buyers • Potentially more complex structure. • Purchase of less than 100% of the Company. • Competitive pricing. • Retention and potential expansion of management team. Considerations • Simple structure. • Normally purchase majority of the Company but are open to grow with young companies. • Add distribution & Distribution usually quickly. Deal Structure • Higher probability of all cash. • Potential to use stock as currency depending on size. • Non-compete period for management and employees. • Employment period for key management. • Growth capital and first right of refusal on future • raises. • Strategic and tactical input heavily weighted • Cash and rolled equity. • Ability to invest along side financial partner in new acquisitions • Recap structure: • Equity stake remains. • Leveraged corporation when appropriate. • Employment period for management – critical. • Management is critical. Valuations • Potential higher value at time of close. • Deal synergies increase value. • Cost rationalization -management/employee termination. • Few “Quality” deals in the marketplace has resulted in heightened competition and willingness to pay higher multiples for “good” companies. • Potentially significantly higher value over the long-term. • “second bite of the apple.”

  6. Potential Pitfalls in Capital Raises or Change of Control Loss of Control • Allowing the acquirer to drive the process and time schedule • Granting exclusivity early on in the process • Having too many lines of communication Bad Timing • Not assigning drop dead dates to various steps of the process • Signing letter of intent with too many contingencies • Not committing to the process — creating deal fatigue and “shop-worn” company Weak Documentation • Informational memorandum that has “all inclusive” proprietary materials on the target • Not considering circulating draft purchase agreements to help pick appropriate buyer • Letters of interest with a wide range of values • A letter of intent that does not speak to and address key representations and warranties • Allowing unrealistic lock up provisions Unlimited Access • Allowing management meetings to be un rehearsed or unscripted • Allowing for multiple management meetings and site visits — prior to LOI • Allowing buyers to speak with management without the presence of a financial advisor Not Maximizing Pricing/Value • Creating too many economic and noneconomic conditions to a transaction • Not obtaining value for non-compete agreements, employment contracts, board seats, etc. • Unrealistic projections that allow buyers to structure the transaction as an earn-out • Not assessing each asset category to define its impact on transaction value • Eliminating platform or financial buyers as a potential group of acquirers

  7. Approaches to the M&A Transaction Process One-on-One Negotiations Cons: • Uncertainty that transaction value will be maximized, as only one buyer is pursued. • While highly focused, still cannot guarantee that confidentiality will be maintained. • Negotiations can be protracted and time-consuming. Pros: • Very limited, controlled disclosure. • Minimizes uncertainty in seller’s company. • Can complete a transaction quickly. • Maximum flexibility to stop or change process. • Minimizes “damaged goods” issue if sale not closed. Multiple Targets Approached Sequentially Pros: • Limited, controlled information disclosure. • Somewhat limits uncertainty within company. • Can possibly complete a transaction quickly. Cons: • Uncertainty that value will be maximized. • Modest potential for breaches of confidentiality. • May be difficult to treat all potential buyers equally and give all parties the same information. • More commitment of management time. Controlled Auction Pros: • Should maximize value, as the greatest number of potential buyers is involved. • Enhanced confidence in the adequacy of value. • Process is fairly expeditious, as all bidders face the same deadlines. Cons: • Potentially broad dissemination of information. • Can create uncertainty within the company. • Substantial commitment of management time. • Ability to realize full value can be compromised in future if process is unsuccessful. • Maintaining confidentiality can been an issue.
