Sources and uses question

Assumptions:

$100m target EV

$20m target debt

$15m target finance leases

$10m target unfunded pension liabilities

$50m new debt to finance transaction

Debt free cash free transaction

Is the following S&U correct? I am in particular uncertain about the "$20m repay target debt" part when it is debt free cash free

Sources

  • $50m debt
  • $30m investor equity
  • TOTAL: 80m

Uses

  • $55m equity purchase price (100 - 20 - 15 - 10)
  • $20m repay target debt

It depends on how the finance lease and pensions liabilities are treated. If not treated as debt-like items then you're correct. Assuming the finance lease and pension liabilities are treated as debt-like, this wouldn't be correct. You'd need the below:

Sources:

  • $50m new debt
  • $55m new equity

Uses:

  • $55m equity
  • $20m target debt
  • $15m target finance leases
  • $10m target unfunded liabilities
  • $5m advisor fees
  • Total: $105m

The easiest way I find to think about debt free, cash free is that those items aren't continuing with the business. So to make sure that debt doesn't continue it has to be paid down at transaction.
