Competitors are: much larger, growing faster, have higher margins
• Khakis’ stock has consistently traded at a lower multiple than
competitor’s
CEO, Millie Pleater, is close to retirement and a successor should be

21. Exit Opportunities
Based on discounted cash flow, we value the company@ $10.50/share
NYC Capital is offering $20. (90.47% premium on $10.50/share, 67%
premium on current trading price -$12/share)
NYC Capital
Pros:
$20 per share is an attractive offer
Best interest of shareholders
Cons:
Khakis corporate culture is independent and hasn’t previously
considered a sale
Consolidation measures could be taken by new controlling entity,
including: Employee cutbacks and production relocation
Deviation from prior company outlook
This is a good premium considering past M&A deals
Involving other bidders can potentially decrease the price of the bid
Suggestion on Including Other Bidders
22. Alternatives to Sell
• Decision: Don’t Sell, Improve
• Fiduciary Duties: the management should inform the shareholders of the offer and
gain majority’s approval
• Future Business Plan – the management should convince the market that growth &
margins will improve to make the multiple comparative with others’
• Plans & Options
• Acquisition of About Boots
• Refinancing and Recapitalization
• Anti-takeover Measures
• Flip-in Poison Pill: adding the poison pill provisions into the charter of the company
can tells NYC Capital or other potential bidders they may face difficulties
• Macaroni Defense: issuing a large number of bonds with the condition they must be
redeemed at a high price if Khakis is taken over
23. Acquisition of About Boots with $50m Debt
About Boots
• A Canadian small chain of
shoes stores
• Estimated 2013 EBITDA $10
million
• Can be acquired for $50 million
Deal Analysis
• Assume the company uses
debt to finance the deal
• EV/EBITDA multiple from 3.6
times to 4.4 times
• Achieve $40 million synergy

Total 45 3.6x 160
Required Synergy Value 40
NYC's Offer 200
After Acquisition 45 4.4x 200
24. $120mm Debt Refinancing
• Refinancing will change the debt to market equity
ratio from 37.5% to 206%
• Annual interest payment will increase from $4 mm
to $13 mm, assuming an interest rate of 8%.
• If the earnings goes as the projected, interest
coverage ratio will decrease from 5.80 to 1.78
• The refinancing plan is very risky and can
potentially cause financial distress based on the
company’s current financial performance

25. In current standing, Khakis’ mkt. share price is $12.00
Combining all the valuation methods, we estimate the share price range to be between
$10.50 and $12.16
The current price falls within our projected range
Focus needs to be on increasing the profitability of South East as decrease in the
profitability will hamper the over all performance of Khakis’
Strategic change in management needed
The proposal of UAB to refinance recapitalize with $120mm
Unsustainable with high financial risk
All things considered, the $20.00 offer by NYC Capital is extremely competitive
Even with the acquisition of the Canadian, “About Boots” , it will be difficult to beat
this price
Selling the company is in the best interest of shareholders at this junction

Why the direction from left to right
P/E Ratio has changed dramatically over the years so to avoid distortion we should use EV EBITDA or Revenue
Verbal :- If you want to stick with the sell option with us , we can try to negotiate a better bidding price
