11 Practical Illustration Key Takeaways Understand the financial community Sell-side is organized by industry, buy-side is not Investment banks serve multiple constituencies, not all of which have a company s best interest in mind Money managers reliance on the sell-side during decision-making process has decreased Valuation drives investment Foundation for strategic targeting begins with a company s financial profile Comparative valuation relative to the market, industry and competitors for capital are all considered Institutional knowledge is powerful Investors display particular preferences for growth/value/income Not all firms are receptive to contact; many prefer direct contact with companies they own Investment style labels are only one piece of the puzzle A company should be aware of any non-financial drivers and activist tendencies Effective targeting equals unbiased quantitative & qualitative insight 10

12 Targeting Methodology Current position plus the amount of additional capital available to invest in the stock Portfolio Weights Market cap bucket Industry Recent trading (sector & regional rotation) Purchasing Power Portfolio Allocation Qualitative Characteristics Priority Rank Peer Ownership Investment horizon Investment style Discretion over assets Receptiveness Fundamental Drivers Competitors For Capital Fundamental peers Industry peers Investor Preference Market capitalization P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/S EPS growth Dividend yield Strategic targeting does not equal Who owns our peers, but not us 11
