Present Value of Preferred | INVESTOR PERSPECTIVE

$25.00 - Par

$25.25  - Change-of-control

$28.00 – Redemption after 5
year no-call period

Note: 1)  Assumes no payout of preferred dividends over entire period of analysis

            2)  Discount rate varied from 8% (265 bps over 3-month LIBOR) to 14% (approximate
current yield of QNTA’s Series A Preferred)

The tables below show the present value of potential future payouts to preferred
holders over the next 4 years at 1 year intervals

After the 5 year no-call period, the redemption price is $28 per share declining
to $25 per share over five years

Present Value of Preferred | COMPANY PERSPECTIVE

If QNTA intends to forgo  payment of preferred dividends and to call the
Series A Preferred at year end 2010, then QNTA should purchase shares
at prices up to $23.31

If QNTA intends to pay preferred dividends and to call the Series A
Preferred at year end 2010, then theoretically QNTA should purchase
shares at prices up to $31.41

SERIES A PREFERRED

Per Share ($)

Aggregate ($ 000)

Factors that could affect
pricing:

Any new litigation or
unforeseen changes to
current litigation

A large buyer trying to
establish a position has
the potential to materially
increase the current
market price

Momentum in the
tender offer process

11

 

Pricing Recommendation

Based on recent trading prices and trends, present value analysis and our
understanding of the holders, we recommend initiating a tender at
approximately $21.00 with room to increase the bid to the $22.00 - $22.50
range

The chart below shows the percent of preferred we would expect to be
tendered at various prices

Process Considerations

While the general theory is relatively simple and compelling, the execution of
this transaction will be very complicated with several moving pieces

Tender offer

Going private

Proxy

Bermuda law

Preferred security

Private purchases of the Series A are permissible and theoretically would be
possible ahead of a tender offer

However, we would strongly recommend against this approach

The private transactions would be subject to several rules and concerns

Lose ability to vote the shares / reduce momentum of tender offer process since low-hanging fruit is
no longer available

There could be no time table / time pressure in the private transactions

There would be no public solicitation

Concern with the possibility of ‘integrating’ the private purchases with an ensuing tender offer

Why FBR | UNIQUE SITUATION

There is nothing typical about the current situation or the potential tender
offer for the Series A

Run-off insurance company

Only 1 dividend paid to Series A holders

Release of capital is not certain

Bermuda law

Proxy process

FBR has a long track record of success in helping companies with difficult
and complex situations – situations that other capital markets participants
say are ‘impossible’

Initial capitalization

Preferred / common capital raise in December of 2005

FBR proposes using the investment banking team that managed the
common stock and Series A offerings in December of 2005 and helped
advise the company as it explored strategic alternatives in 2006 to execute
this transaction

This means that both outgoing and incoming calls will be handled by senior
investment bankers that are very knowledgeable with respect to all of the pertinent
issues. We have partnered with Quanta from its beginning.  No firm could be better
positioned to understand the story and communicate it to the market as effectively as
FBR

FBR

21

 

Why FBR | KNOWLEDGE OF THE COMPANY

FBR is ideally situated to advise the company with regard to a tender offer
for its Series A Preferred Stock

Time is of the essence and FBR will be able to move more quickly than any
other firm given our familiarity with the situation and the company

Superior ability to communicate situation accurately to current holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock

Ability to manage an effective and efficient due diligence process resulting
in appropriate disclosures and ultimately a very ‘tight’ process

Established relationship with many members of senior management,
internal and external legal counsel and the Board of Directors

FBR

22

 

Why FBR | KNOWLEDGE OF INVESTORS

FBR placed the stock and has traded the majority of it since the offering

We have long-standing relationships with the current holders that will
facilitate productive conversations that would be difficult for another firm to
achieve even with knowledge of the current holders

Publicly available information with regard to the holders of the Series A
Preferred is extremely limited

FBR has proprietary data with respect to the current owners of the preferred which
makes us the best investment bank to manage Quanta’s tender offer
