Key Attributes of the CDP Program
§
Engagements can be structured to preclude GTK from working with companies that our client views as conflicts. This restriction can be extended beyond the term of the engagement.
§
Time-based retainers Significant reduction in success fees and multi-deal discounts CDP can be turned on, off, or suspended at our client’s discretion
Conflict-Free
Economy and Flexibility

Efficiency abd Effectiveness
§ §
Alignment
§
GTK focuses on using executive time efficiently, minimizing attention taken away from operations Our experience allows us to help management better assess transaction actionability, avoiding “wild goose chases” Banker-assisted contact elicits more serious/favorable target response. GTK has a technically deep and user-friendly demeanor which is appreciated by targets
Clients who have experience working with larger banks appreciate that GTK has a “look and feel” is consistent the larger banks

GTK is Flexible in its Role as Advisor CDP fees consist of a time-based retainer (typically quarterly or sometimes monthly) and potentially a success fee based on the situation. We want our client to have a comfortable and open relationship with GTK. As such, some or all of the following working relationships can be accommodated: §
GTK as M&A Advisor
§ § §
§
GTK as M&A Manager
§ § §
GTK as Partnership Advisor
§ § §
No M&A Role for GTK
§ §
GTK provides full outreach, origination and execution services This is similar to typical banking arrangements Fee beyond retainers: a reduced success fee Substantial multi-deal discounts For M&A deal execution, GTK serves as an “in-house” agent for managing and coadvising with another bank This is for when our client wishes to hire an additional advisor, e.g. on a large transaction Fee beyond retainers: a portion of the success fee paid to the other advisor GTK can serve as “in-house” agent responsible for executing any partnership, investment or business agreements This is for when the outcome is not an acquisition, but our client would like to benefit from GTK’s knowledge of the situation and execution help Fee beyond retainer: enhanced retainer, no success fee GTK will step aside to allow for internal execution For example, on a small acquisition our client may choose to economize by executing the deal itself Fee beyond retainer: No success or a small, flat payment

FCI Case Study: A Bain Capital Portfolio Company The Situation
The Solution
The Outcome
§ FCI, a $2 billion revenue Versailles, France-based manufacturer of electrical interconnect products, operated four primary business units that develop products for the automotive, electrical power and utility, micropackaging, consumer electronics, data, and communications industries
§ GTK structured an engagement which provided FCI the ability to flexibly add to their corporate development program with highly experienced bankers. The engagement included:
§ GTK assisted FCI in the evaluation of about 70 potential targets, generated over 17 acquisition opportunities where a formal sale process had not been initiated, resulting in 8 formal acquisition offers and three completed buy-side transactions
§ In August of 2005 FCI was acquired by Bain Capital Europe for $1.3B. By late 2006, FCI had decided that it would actively seek acquisitions § GTK Partners was hired to aggressively and proactively pursue mid-cap, bolt-on, acquisition opportunities
§ Time-based retainers and significantly reduced success fees with multi-deal discounts § Flexibility in time/cost balance of engagement § GTK restricted from pursuing competing business/dialog during and after engagement § GTK helped to execute a broad buyside initiative over a six year period. Throughout the engagement GTK provided: § Early and deep banker input on the target list, including input on actionability and prioritization § Outreach, process management, and due diligence

§ GTK remained engaged by FCI through a period in which significant divisions were divested
FCI Case Study: Engagement History GTK’s relationship with FCI has spanned six years and a severe economic downturn. The flexibility inherent to GTK’s CDP has allowed FCI to leverage GTK’s dynamic range in terms of target sizes, transaction structures, roles and responsibilities, while retaining the institutional knowledge gained through a well established working relationship.
Sept ’06 to Sept ’08 • GTK evaluates over 45 targets in varying levels of detail • Regularly communicates findings and status to FCI corporate • Generates 15 real acquisition opportunities for FCI
Bain Capital Acquires FCI
Scope Broadened • Scope broadened to accommodate a growing list of targets • Revisit many of the targets previously evaluated
