VALUE CREATION ALTERNATIVES
Synergistic MSBO
agreement with
SFG Inc. (a Glencoe
portfolio company)
• OFI can act as a Manufacturer’s Sales and Branch Office (MSBO) for
Specialty Food Group (SFG) especially in western US
• SFG Inc. is a leading marketer and producer of premium meat
products based in Virginia.
• Expand operations to new regions and strengthen market share in
existing areas of operations because of expanded product line.
• Possible 5% increase in profits even by conservative estimates.
• MSBOs realize greater economies of scale also help in mitigating the
wholesale bypass risk
• Leverage SFG’s existing relationships for access to niche markets in
eastern US
• Purchase costs are nearly 85% revenues (industry average ~82%)
Pro: Improve efficiencies and mitigate operating risks. Realize higher
economies of scale.
Con: Without careful planning of the distribution systems the requisite scale
economies may not be realized.
Base Case
• Continue to enter into long term supply contracts and manage quality
control.
• Recent agreements with national level retailers and chains aid in getting
more contracts in future
Pro: Growth in EBITDA due to increased revenues, broader customer base
Con: Expansion of product line may be required which would require
investment in facilities.

EXIT STRATEGIES
Sale to Strategic
Buyer
• Would allow for greatest valuation of company at exit
• Strategic buyers can utilize Overhill to reach new customer accounts or
acquire leading-edge facilities
Sale to Financial
Buyer
• Re-lever of Overhill would provide returns to present sponsor and allow
continued growth of NGA
• Adequate number of PE firms with matching investment criteria
Public offering
• Increased size of Overhill and expanded geographical presence may
increase visibility in investor community
• Company may be more successful continuing as private company
Dividend
recapitalization
• Re-lever Overhill with additional debt to provide return to equity holders
• Financing for transaction may be difficult to secure
