The Current M&A Environment
•
Robust Activity – quest for growth by Purchasers, desire for
liquidity by Sellers and favorable tax rates. See list of recent
cyber security transactions at the end of this presentation (list
provided by KippsDeSanto & Co.)
•
Purchasers are VERY PARTICULAR – seeking the right deal
at the right price
•
Rigorous due diligence results in challenges for deals to be
completed on LOI terms
•
Multiple tiers of valuation ranges for selling companies; cyber
security technology and products, higher level cyber security
services to homeland security and intelligence agencies are
in the highest valuation range
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
5
The Current M&A Environment
•
Lower level IT services are in less demand and sell for lower
valuations
•
Focus of Purchasers is shifting to products or mission critical or
technology-enhanced products services with strong margins and
growth potential
•
Price multiples for attractive Targets often exceed public
valuation multiples
•
Valuation multiples (EV divided TTM Adjusted EBITDA) for
higher end cyber security services firms often in the range of 10
to 12x. For firms with unique intellectual property or products,
multiples can be higher, sometimes by considerable amounts

Key Factors Affecting M&A Transaction Terms
•
Competitive demand for Target, e.g., auction process vs.
single purchaser
•
Risk tolerance and historical practices of particular
Purchaser
•
Composition of Seller group
•
Nature and magnitude of perceived future business and
legal risks
•
Overall Target preparation and compliance posture
•
Negotiation process
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved

Trends in M&A Transactions
Extensive Negotiation of a More-Detailed Letters of Intent
•
Frequently follows some due diligence by Purchaser and
management briefing by Target
•
Often part of a process managed by investment bankers
•
Items customarily addressed:
 Tax and corporate structure, enterprise value and
assumptions behind purchase price
 Purchase price and type of consideration
 Escrow or holdback
 Working capital requirements
 Principal closing conditions

Earn-out structure, if any
Non-competes and key employee retention
Due diligence process
Exclusive negotiation period
Indemnity caps, baskets, minimum claims, survival periods
and materiality scrape sometimes negotiated
•
Exclusivity Period may be staged based on completion of
diligence, financing commitment and distribution of draft
documents
•
Sellers have strong interests to avoid future surprises on major
terms and prefer to negotiate prior to exclusivity

Trends in M&A Transactions
Rigorous Sophisticated Due Diligence by Prospective
Purchasers:
• Revenue waterfall
• Backlog and pipeline
• Contract terms
• Margin sustainability and adequacy of business infrastructure
• Customer relationships and re-compete risk
• Key employee skills and employment continuity
• Taxes: income, foreign, sales and use
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
10
Trends in M&A Transactions
Purchaser Due Diligence, continued…
• Efficacy of 338(h)(10) or similar elections
• Compliance related matters:
 Infringement
 Employment classification
 Employee benefits
 Export controls
 FCPA
 Government procurement regulations (if applicable)
• Capitalization
• Intellectual Property – data rights, ownership, pricing,
competitive position
• IT system adequacy and security
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
11
Trends in M&A Transactions
Escrow and Other Protections for Purchaser from PostClosing Losses at Historical Levels
•
Because of sophisticated diligence many Purchasers are better able
to evaluate risks of claims against target companies
•
Escrows – generally in the range of 5-20% of purchase price (with
average of 10%) and held for 12 - 24 months to secure indemnity
claims
•
Set-off Rights if subordinated notes or earn-outs are used as
consideration
•
Often a separate escrow to secure working capital deficiencies or
some agreements provide for no upward adjustment based on
estimated working capital at closing
•
Holdbacks are less frequent than escrows
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
12
Trends in M&A Transactions
Survival Periods for Representations, Warranties and
Covenants
• General Reps and Warranties – 1 to 3 years; usually at
least one audit cycle
• Fundamental reps, including capitalization, authority, title,
brokers, absence of debt – indefinite or statute of
limitations
• Tax, ERISA, Environmental – 30 to 60 days past statutes
of limitations
• IP, Regulatory and Government Contracts – as negotiated:
could be same as general, 3 to 5 years, or statute of
limitations
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
13
Trends in M&A Transactions
Survival Periods, continued…
• Pre-closing covenants – indefinite or same as general
representations and warranties
• Post-closing covenants and special indemnities – indefinite
or statute of limitation; sometimes special indemnities have
separate survival periods
• ESOP-owned Target or widely-held Target in competitive
auction – reps and warranties survive until escrow/holdback
released, except for Fundamental
• Public Target – representations and warranties generally do
not survive closing
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
14
Trends in M&A Transactions
Indemnification Provisions
• Sellers – typically joint and several, sometimes several (if limited
number of Sellers); Widely-held or ESOP-owned – indemnification
usually limited to escrow or holdback
• Cap – typically 10% to 30% of purchase price for general
representations based on circumstances
• Potential exclusions from cap and/or basket: capitalization,
authority, title, breach of covenants, fraud, willful misconduct, tax,
ERISA, environmental, ongoing litigation/investigation/claims,
certain regulatory compliance matters, e.g., FCPA, special
indemnities; cap for these items is negotiated but can be as high
as the purchase price
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
15
Trends in M&A Transactions
Indemnification Provisions, continued…
• Basket – negotiated amount (generally 0.25% to 1.00% of
purchase price) – deductible or first dollar (tipping basket);
split basket, (i.e., part deductible and part first dollar
becoming more frequent
• Minimum claim size sometimes negotiated
• Special indemnities for discovered risks are often included
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
16
Trends in M&A Transactions
Continued Emphasis on Employee Retention
•
Many Purchasers require as a closing condition that
key employees of Target execute retention or
employment agreements and a percentage of other
employees sign standard employee agreements
•
Retention or bonus agreements generally contain
stay-bonus provisions plus non-solicitation covenants
with respect to customers and employees
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
17
Trends in M&A Transactions
Employee Retention, continued…
•
Highest level key employees may be required to sign
employment agreements as a closing condition,
particularly if Purchaser is private equity firm or small or
mid cap strategic
•
Private equity Purchasers may require or encourage
purchase of equity by key managers
•
Strategic Purchasers often grant stock options or
restricted stock to key employees
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
18
Trends in M&A Transactions
Selective Use of Earn-Outs
Earn-outs – used by selected Purchasers if extraordinary
growth projected, set-aside contracts or to bridge valuation gap
• More widespread use by private equity and small and midtier strategic buyers willing to pay upside if financial
projections are achieved or key contracts are maintained or
migrated
• Can be event-based or performance-based; usually no
longer than 2 years from closing
• Performance-based earn-outs based on revenues, gross
profits, contribution margin or EBITDA
• Earn-outs used less frequently by strategic buyers that
prefer near-term integration of Target
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
19
Trends in M&A Transactions
Use of Creative Tax Structures to Achieve Step Up in Basis
and Deferral of Rollover Equity
•
Many Purchasers attribute value to availability of step-up in
basis of Target’s assets from IRS Section 338(h)(10) or 754
election
•
In transaction with rollover equity, creative tax structures
have evolved to enable tax deferred treatment of rollover
equity, in some cases even where there is a Section
338(h)(10) or 754 election
•
Careful tax examination by Sellers of effects of Section
338(h)(10) election and installment sales treatment required
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
20
Trends in M&A Transactions
Continued Importance of Target’s Net Working Capital or
Tangible Net Assets At Closing
•
Usually determined based on cash-free, debt-free net working
capital of business over an agreed period before closing
•
Some Purchasers seek to exclude or limit deferred tax assets
•
Some Purchasers require an adjustment if Accounts Receivable
not collected within an agreed time
•
Reserves and deferred revenue to be in accordance with GAAP
•
Separate escrow or holdback to serve as payment source if a
deficiency
•
Customary adjustment mechanisms:
 Both upward and downward;
 Downward only; or
 No adjustment if within range

Trends in M&A Transactions
Private Equity Transaction Structures Continues to
Use Leverage and Investment by Sellers and Key
Employees
•
Increased availability of senior and mezzanine debt in
2011 vs. last 2 years
•
Consideration may consist of:
 Cash
 Subordinated notes
 Rollover equity by sellers
 Earn-outs
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
22
Trends in M&A Transactions
Private Equity Transaction Structures, continued…
•
Opportunity for “2 Bites at the Apple” by Sellers and
equity appreciation by key executives
•
Subordinated Notes – payment terms and
subordination provisions are heavily negotiated items
•
Rollover Equity – usually parri passu to or one level
behind sponsor and subject to shareholders
agreement
•
Management fees and transaction fees paid to
sponsor
Copyright © 2011 Holland & Knight LLP All Rights Reserved
23
Trends in M&A Transactions
Suggestions to Potential Sellers:
•
Conduct extensive preparation – Sellers should invest to
prepare for every diligence question, including S Corp
compliance, revenue waterfalls, contracts, compliance,
benefits, IP rights and capitalization
•
Be aware of customary terms
•
Provide stay incentives for key employees
•
Prioritize issues
•
Keep in mind the big picture

Trends in M&A Transactions
Conclusions:
•
Prevailing trends can be helpful to provide guidance in
formulating party’s negotiating strategy
•
Resulting terms reflect the particular circumstances,
bargaining power and practices of the parties involved
•
Experienced financial, legal and accounting advisors can
assist in developing creative compromises
