Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ABOUT THIS WEBINAR: The M&A Process Buying, selling, or merging a company typically follows a similar set of steps from deal to deal. The amount of time each step takes varies but the order of the steps is fairly uniform because the steps follow a certain logic: before the parties share meaningful information, they should sign a confidentiality agreement (a/k/a “non-disclosure agreement,” or “NDA”); once a baseline amount of information is known by the would-be buyer, it commonly presents a letter of intent or term sheet to the target or its owner, which serves as an outline for a deal but does not necessarily bind the parties to consummate the transaction; additional due diligence and the negotiation, drafting and signing of definitive documents comes next. The parties then obtain any needed regulatory and/or contractual third party approvals; followed by closing; and finally by post-closing tasks. This webinar will discuss all these steps from a macro perspective so that you can see the forest for the trees, but does not do a deep dive into any single topic. Think of this webinar as a road map or timeline for a typical deal. 5

6. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ABOUT THIS SERIES: Private Company M&A Boot CampCorporate transactions (or “deals”) include many types of transactions. Viewed broadly, a deal can be a very small matter such as drafting a purchase order, a non-compete agreement, or myriad other single purpose agreements necessary to document a legal relationship between two parties and extend to large multi-national acquisitions and financings. One of the most significant types of transactions a company can enter into, however, and the type that is commonly thought of as needing a “deal” lawyer, is a Mergers and Acquisitions transaction. M&A (mergers and acquisitions), viewed broadly, includes buying or selling all or part of a business or company, as well as business combinations, such as mergers. Such “deal” work commonly requires attorneys, accountants, intermediaries (i.e. investment bankers and business brokers) to work together. This 2019 PRIVATE COMPANY M & A BOOT CAMP webinar series features leading M&A attorneys and other deal professionals speaking about private company M&A in roughly chronological order, guiding the audience through a conversation that spans from deal origination, the LOI (letter-of-intent) or term sheet, due diligence, document drafting and negotiation, closing, and post-closing. Issues addressed include tax planning and structure; corporate governance; negotiating deal points and common pitfalls and challenges; closing conditions; representations and warranties; indemnification provisions; earn-outs; restrictive covenants; antitrust; intellectual property; and employment. While many of the topics covered apply also to public company M&A, the focus of this webinar series is on M&A involving a privately owned company or business. 6

10. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS • Arise in various contexts, including M&A, employment, sharing of IP, JVs and other business relationships • Protect sensitive information and transaction details from disclosure • Prevent improper use of Information • Significance: • Often viewed as “standard” or “boilerplate” but may have unintended consequences, restricting Buyer’s activities in the industry and Buyer’s options as the negotiations progress, even if a transaction never materializes • Mutuality: One-Way or Two-Way? • Seller often “holds the pen” on CA, resulting in Buyer receiving proposed CA that is “one- way” • Buyer often modifies CA to restrict Seller if Buyer will be disclosing information to Seller, and to make other provisions “symmetrical” 1 0

11. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION • “Confidential Information” is usually defined broadly to include: • “any information concerning the Seller (whether prepared by the Seller, its Representatives or otherwise and irrespective of the form, manner or nature of communication) which is furnished to Buyer [before the date hereof,] now or in the future [by or on behalf of the Seller] … and any notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by Buyer to the extent that they contain, reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished to Buyer pursuant hereto.” 1 1

12. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (CONT’D) • Buyers often include “to the extent” language for derivative materials to prevent entire documents from being tainted by a single piece of Confidential Information • Broad definition of Confidential Information makes it important to focus on exclusions to definition • Where trade secrets are involved, consider nature and extent of confidentiality 1 2

13. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe COMPETITIVELY SENSITIVE INFORMATION/ANTITRUST • Transactions and business relationships involving competitors pose special concerns – Sensitivity about sharing pricing, marketing and other competitive commercial information – Antitrust laws and business implications • Varied approaches – Sellers may exclude sensitive information from disclosure or defer disclosure until later in process – Disclosure may be limited to advisors and/or select individuals – Disclosures may be limited to aggregated information or otherwise masked 1 3

14. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe EXCLUSIONS FROM CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Buyers seek to add the exclusions to definition of “Confidential Information” • “Confidential Information shall not include: • (i) information that is or becomes generally available to the public [other than through the fault of the receiving party] [other than through a breach of this Agreement]; • (ii) information that was within Buyer’s possession prior to its being furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant hereto or becomes available to Buyer from a source that was not [known by Buyer [after due inquiry] to be] bound by an obligation of confidentiality [prohibiting disclosure of such information to Buyer] [with respect to such information]; or • (iii) information that is independently developed by Buyer or its Representatives without the use of any Confidential Information.” 1 4

15. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe PERMITTED USES OF INFORMATION AND USE RESTRICTIONS Sellers try to limit permitted uses of Confidential Information: • “Buyer [will not disclose] [will keep confidential] the Confidential Information to any person and will not use the Confidential Information either for any purpose other than to evaluate, [negotiate, finance and/or consummate] a possible [negotiated] Transaction [or in any way detrimental to the Company]; [provided, however, that Buyer may disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives ...].” • “Will not disclose” vs. “Will keep confidential” 1 5

16. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe PERMITTED USES OF INFORMATION AND USE RESTRICTIONS (CON’T) • Buyers generally seek to ensure that they may disclose information to their Representatives • Buyers may also seek to expand permitted uses of Confidential Information beyond “evaluating” a potential Transaction, to include negotiating, financing and consummating it • Buyers tend to resist vague limits on use of Confidential Information:  Prohibitions on “detrimental” usage may expose Buyer to unknown liabilities and restrictions (e.g., backdoor non-solicit or non-compete?) 1 6

17. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe LETTERS OF INTENT & TERM SHEETS 1. Purpose – Establish a list of material terms to be agreed upon during the negotiation process 2. Process – Draft term sheets go back and forth between parties – Beware of offer and acceptance issues – Balance needed: If too detailed then moving straight to definitive agreements may be better Ambiguity of terms leads to later disputes with the document drafter taking “upper hand” 1 7

18. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPRESENTATIVES • Sellers seek to make Buyers liable for breaches by its Representatives: – Buyer will [cause][direct] its Representatives to observe the terms of this agreement, and will be responsible for any breach of this agreement by any of its Representatives.” • Variations – Provide Representatives with a copy of the CA and direct Representatives to comply with the CA’s confidentiality provisions – Have Representatives sign a “joinder” to provide Seller with a direct remedy against Representatives. 1 8

19. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES Sellers often seek to limit Buyer’s ability to solicit employees: “Buyer agrees that, until the [third] anniversary of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Seller, Buyer will not solicit to hire [or hire] any [officer or management-level] employee of the Seller [to whom Buyer is [first] introduced in connection with the evaluation of a Transaction] ...” • Non-Solicit vs. No-Hire • When Seller is in same business/industry as Buyer, both parties are likely to have heightened sensitivity 1 9

20. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES (CON’T) • Term: Buyers generally seek to limit term of non-solicit to one year, depending on business needs • Scope: Buyers may seek to limit scope of the non-solicit to minimize substantive restrictions and lessen the administrative burden. Alternatives include:  Limiting scope to “officers or management-level” employees  Limiting scope to employees (first) introduced to Buyer in connection with evaluating Transaction 2 0

21. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe NON-SOLICIT CARVE-OUTS Buyers generally seek to further limit the scope of the non-solicit by including some or all of the following exclusions: • provided, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit Buyer from: • (i) using solicitations not targeted at employees of the Seller, or employing any person who responds to such solicitations; • (ii) using search firms, or hiring any persons solicited by such search firms, so long as such firms are not advised by Buyer [after the date hereof] to solicit employees of Seller; • (iii) hiring, employing or discussing employment with any person who contacts Buyer independently without any solicitation by Buyer; or • (iv) soliciting any person who has left the employment of the Seller prior to Buyer soliciting such person.” 2 1

22. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES • “It is further understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this letter agreement and that [the Company] [both parties] shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. • Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this letter agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the non-breaching party.” • Equitable relief is key 2 2

23. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe KEY BINDING PROVISIONS OF LETTERS OF INTENT • Exclusivity/Standstill/No Shop  Restricts Seller frim engaging in negotiations with any other party for a specified period  Buyer’s consideration is money spent on investigating potential transaction  Usually 30-90 days in length  May require Seller to report any other offers or even contact from interested parties • Breakup Fee  Obligates the Seller (very rarely applies to Buyers) to pay Buyer a specified amount, usually 1-5% of value of transaction, if Seller doesn’t close transaction  Very limited outs for Seller  Relatively rare and very disadvantageous to Seller, as it will limit Seller’s flexibility 2 3
