Executive Summary
Emerson Stewart Group Limited (ASX: ESW) is to acquire 100% of OTOC Group Pty Ltd
(‘OTOC’), a leading installer of mine site accommodation and non-process infrastructure
to blue-chip clients in north west Western Australia

Established in 2003, OTOC has successfully developed into a well respected, low capex and profitable business
with unaudited revenue of $52 million in FY2011 and forecast revenue of $89 million for FY2012 (71% secured)

ESW will acquire OTOC for initial consideration of $20 million split equally between cash and ESW shares at $0.20
o OTOC may earn up to an additional $8 million in new ESW shares at $0.20 (via conversion of performance
shares) subject to achieving prescribed earnings before interest and tax (‘EBIT’) milestones in FY2012

Following the transaction, OTOC shareholders will hold up to 42% of ESW (on a fully diluted basis including the
full conversion of performance shares)

The acquisition of OTOC represents a step change transaction that will significantly leverage ESW to the growing
resources sector spend in north west Australia and is complimentary to ESW’s existing survey and mapping
business Whelans

ESW intends to fund the acquisition via a $17.4 million capital raising at $0.20 per share
o $11.9 million placement to sophisticated and institutional investors
o $5.5 million fully underwritten entitlement issue (3-for-4 basis)

ESW’s two largest shareholders (including Managing Director Mr. Dario Amara) will cornerstone up to $4 million
of the total capital raising

The acquisition of OTOC and capital raising are subject to shareholder approval on 30 August 2011

Background to the Transaction
The acquisition of OTOC is a transformational transaction for ESW. OTOC will add forecast
EBIT of $6.9 million on revenues of $89 million for FY2012 with a clearly articulated plan
to significantly grow and diversify revenues

ESW has a highly respected technical team but has struggled to achieve scale as an ASX company

The acquisition of Whelans has broadened geographic reach, client list and revenue base – but ESW seeks a
much stronger earnings profile which is better leveraged to the north west resources sector spend

The acquisition of OTOC will deliver this stronger earnings profile
o Strong order book with 71% of budgeted FY2012 revenue in hand (refer Appendix A)
o Strong exposure to the WA resources sector, where current and planned project expenditure is more than
$175 billion (refer Appendix C) – with over $5.4 billion in OTOC’s key sectors (refer Appendix B)
o OTOC is a direct construction lead – not a subcontractor – with barriers to entry through relationships,
technical knowledge, plant and equipment and specialisation in providing turnkey solutions
o Highly scalable with national growth prospects via existing client base and new tendering opportunities
o OTOC has all systems, certifications and pre-qualifications in place to support this future growth

In turn, ESW provides OTOC with:
o
A solid platform to grow the business into the future
o Natural synergies with existing Whelans business including clients and area of operations
o Whelans will also provide OTOC with a “first look” into new projects
