EX.99 Pitch Books worth reviewing?
Only recently have I been exposed to EX.99 forms. I notice, however, that they also range in letter (ie a-d or something). Are these pitch books put together by banks worth reading? Is there a better alternative? Besides Googling, how might I find these using EDGAR?
Appreciate the help.
Why would you ever review pitchbooks? What is your goal?
I'm curious to learn more about what bankers do. Bankers make pitch books. Open to suggestions!
No, Investment Banking Analysts make pitchbooks. The actual bankers just replace our names w/ theirs :)
Well you can't get a much more accurate perspective than flipping through a pitchbook, though that sounds like an awful way to spend time. Haha.
What exactly do you want to learn? Those pitchbooks you are referring to are fairness opinions. In short, banks get hired to assess offers and valuation of a company to the board.
Question still stands...
you seriously want to spend your free time going through old pitchbooks? you need to get a life
Better yet, ask a friend in banking for a case study and learn about an actual deal that you can say you researched.
Getting a case study is a great idea, thanks. As per getting a life... I think it's superfluous to address that point on this forum with someone not providing constructive feedback
How do you find them on EDGAR?
The 3 links you include in your inquiry all lead to exhibits to SEC filings. You can tell this by the "EX-99" at the top of each webpage. The number next to the "EX" refers to the type of exhibit listed under Item 601 of Regulation S-K (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-title17-vol2/pdf/CFR-2012-title17…). In this case, 99 is used to indicate "Additional exhibits."
All 3 exihibits in your e-mail were attached to the Schedule 13E3 and 13E3/A filed on March 29, 2013. The Schedule 13E3 is the disclosure form for a going private transaction (http://www.sec.gov/answers/gopriv.htm) and is required under Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-title17-vol3/pdf/CFR-2012-title17…). You can view these particular filings in the EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html).
As for searching EDGAR for specific exhibits such as these, the best way is to use the advanced search page of the EDGAR full text search function (http://searchwww.sec.gov/EDGARFSClient/jsp/EDGAR_MainAccess.jsp). You will need to formulate a search string that will capture the filing(s) you are seeking. To find these exhibits, I entered "Opal Board" in the "Search for Text" box and Dell in the "Company Name" box.
Please let me know if we may be of further assistance.
