Tobacco Giant Royals American Unlikely to Get a Sweeter Offer
October 21, 2016
“British American Tobacco is offering $47 billion for the 58 percent of the Camel cigarette maker that it does not already own. At an enterprise value of 16x the last 12 months’ … EBITDA, that is a decent price…British American Tobacco’s offer is worth $56.50 a share based on Thursday’s closing prices.
That is around a 20% premium to where Royals’ stock traded before the bid was announced. That is no knockout, but because the two companies have long been considered likely merger partners, some kind of takeover premium may have already been baked into the target’s worth.”

Review of Braves Proposal 6

Goldman Sachs
2 Closer Look – Timing of Braves Offer
INVESTMENT BANKING DIVISION
Selected Elements from the Braves Proposal
∎ “The proposal is earnings accretive in the first full year, including modest cost synergies and is expected to result in an accretive dividend per share for shareholders.”
∎ “The cost synergies associated with the proposed merger are estimated by Braves to be relatively modest at around $400 million, however this would need to be verified following engagement with Royals.”
∎ “The combined company would maintain a strong financial profile, with a target of maintaining a solid investment grade credit rating and enhanced cash generation.”
Research Analyst Perspectives
“Braves’ timing was clearly opportunistic, as Royals‘ shares had pulled back 12% from its all-time high in early July. What is more, by making an offer on LTM EBITDA as of 3Q16, Braves is also not giving Royals’ shareholders credit for the total cost savings from the LO acquisition.”
– Cowen, 23-Oct-16
“[We believe] the 3% synergies would come from Procurement
($200mm), SG&A savings ($150mm), Japan production control
($30mm) and Canada production control ($20-$30mm).”
– Bank of America Merrill Lynch, 24-Oct-2016
“We see a relatively high likelihood of the transaction ultimately closing at a modestly higher price for a few reasons: (i) We assume Braves would have approached this proposal with a strong intent to complete a transaction with minimal disruption and benefits to both parties’ shareholders; (ii) Braves’ 42% ownership reduces the likelihood of a competitive bidder, providing Royals with only moderate negotiating leverage; and (iii) As in most acquisition scenarios, we find it unlikely that Braves would have initially approached its target with its “best and final” offer.”
– Morgan Stanley, 21-Oct-2016

3 Key Financial Items for Further Due Diligence
INVESTMENT BANKING DIVISION
Cost Synergies
Tax Synergies
Pro Forma Credit Profile
Financial Reporting
Board participation has likely provided Braves with an initial perspective on potential synergies
That said, investors generally believe that the $400mm public synergies (or 3.2% of Royals revenues) guidance is likely conservative (median synergies as % of sales achieved in precedent tobacco transactions was 4.7% of revenues)
There are a number of areas to review where incremental synergies can potentially be identified
(e.g. SG&A, shared R&D, contract manufacturing, etc.)
Phasing/timing and costs to achieve synergies are also important elements to consider for the overall financial picture We believe there may be significant potential for incremental value creation from tax savings through tax structuring / intercompany debt (Braves consolidated tax rate currently ~25% vs. Royals ~35%)
Braves would likely also realize tax savings of 6.5% on dividend tax currently paid by Braves on dividends received from Royals (approx. $80mm of annual savings)
Refinancing existing Royals debt and replacing with new debt at Braves could also provide additional tax savings Preliminary views from ratings agencies are that the transaction will result in a one to two notch downgrade at Braves (guidance of one notch at S&P and not more than two notches at Moody’s)
Accordingly, Braves appears to have the capacity to increase the cash component of the transaction without jeopardizing its investment grade credit rating
Given current low interest rate environment, Braves is also likely to be capable of financing a meaningful increase in the cash purchase price without significantly impacting accretion Key considerations for converting Royals financial reporting from U.S. GAAP to IFRS need to be evaluated in further detail
Accounting for pension expense and purchase accounting treatment of future MSA payments could be two primary areas of focus (changes to returns estimates relative to discount rate could have
~$100mm+ impact on net income / EPS)

3 Review of Key Shareholder / Structuring Items
INVESTMENT BANKING DIVISION
Continuous Monitoring of Shareholder Dialogue To Inform Tactics by GS M&A Shareholder Advisory
Detailed Analysis of Shareholder Base
Considerations For Optimal Deal Structure For Royals Shareholders
Investors generally believe that there is a reasonably high likelihood of a deal being signed
— The biggest consideration is the ultimate purchase price
— General consensus (even amongst their own shareholders) that Braves can (and will) improve terms and still deliver a financially and strategically compelling deal to their shareholders
— Views on the size / level of improvement are evolving and need to be monitored real-time
Investors believe a deal can be signed within 6-8 weeks and can be closed within 8 months of signing
— Widely held view in the market that regulatory review process will be straightforward
Despite being listed in different markets, there is shareholder overlap between Royals and Braves
— At the fund-level, common portfolio managers hold ~11% of Royals and ~8% of Braves
— At the parent-level, common institutions hold ~38% of Royals and 50% of Braves
Our preliminary shareholder flow-back analysis indicates there will likely be a substantial amount of selling by U.S. index (and other) funds, which could be largely offset by UK demand
— 18.1% Royals is held by US index funds who will need to sell all the Braves shares issued to them in the merger because of hard mandate restrictions
— However, we expect UK index funds currently tracking Braves will need to acquire 24.6% of the newly issued Braves shares (in order to keep their portfolio balanced with the FTSE 100), largely offsetting the US index supply
— It will be important to understand when the FTSE is likely to update their indices (relative to the merger closing / share issuance), as that will determine the extent to which these forced buy / sell flows will likely offset, and therefore the amount of stock price dislocation that could result Pro Forma Braves would likely be attractive to its investors primarily because of its anticipated high profit margin and total shareholder return Some Royals shareholders may be taxed differently depending on if consideration is cash or stock
— Cash / Stock Election could be used to help mitigate this concern
Timing of dividends in relation to transaction close (Royals quarterly, Braves interim plus final) Potential impact of transaction structure on appraisal rights

Shareholder Considerations 23

Cash / Stock Election Considerations
Overview
INVESTMENT BANKING DIVISION
Acquirers delivering a mix of cash and stock to target shareholders as merger consideration sometimes allow target shareholders to elect entirely for one form of consideration
— Elections are typically offered to allow tax-sensitive shareholders of the target company to elect for all-stock, thereby avoiding a taxable event
— ~25% of stock deals >$5bn in the US since 2007 have offered elections
Elections can be structured such that the acquirer can limit the maximum cash and / or stock issued to the target
— This ensures the desired amount of cash and stock is used to fund the deal (e.g., a traditional fixed ratio merger), regardless of the elections made by target shareholders
— Acquirers use limits for many reasons, including (i) the avoidance of an acquirer shareholder vote, (ii) having certainty over new financing to be secured / credit ratings, and (iii) ensuring their merger is recognized as a “reorganization” under 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code If elections for one form of consideration exceed the limit, those shareholders are cut-back, typically on a pro-rata basis Elections can broadly structured as either fixed or floating A fixed election fixes (at announcement) the exchange ratio in the stock election and fixes the amount of cash per share in the cash election
— As the acquirer’s stock price fluctuates between announcement and closing, one of the forms of consideration becomes more valuable than the other
— Elections tend to be made based on economic incentive, rather than preferred form of consideration
— Can create an opportunity for hedge funds to earn arbitrage profits
— ~75% of US stock deals >$5bn since 2007 that offered elections structured them as fixed elections
A floating election sets the exchange ratio in the stock election and the amount of cash per share in the cash election shortly before closing
— As the acquirer’s stock price fluctuates between announcement and closing, the value of each form of consideration remains equivalent
— Elections tend to be made based on preferred form of consideration
— Virtually eliminates the opportunity for hedge funds to earn arbitrage profits
— ~25% of US stock deals >$5bn since 2007 that offered elections structured them as fixed elections
