  • Silverpeak was engaged by Smart Transactions Group

following multiple unsolicited approaches for ACT

‒ Indications of interest did not seem to reflect true strategic value from the Board’s perspective

  • ACT is an established market leader in the smart

ticketing market and ITSO software development

‒ Additional investment required to accelerate development of next-generation product portfolio and kick start next stage of growth plan

  • Smart ticketing represents a substantial market
  • pportunity, with more than 5.2bn bus and 1.6bn

rail journeys per year in the UK

‒ Growth opportunities in ticket bundling (transit with tourism ticketing, merchandising and payments) on a single card

  • Optimised the upfront positioning of ACT by

emphasising its leadership and recurring revenues

  • Approached a targeted and pre-qualified group of

potential buyers, leveraging existing relationships

  • Identified areas of interest for buyers and targeted

information flow accordingly

  • Secured detailed LOIs on terms acceptable to STG’s

shareholders

  • Co-ordinated the due diligence process and assisted in

the detailed final contract negotiations Strategic value reflected in the price Improvement on Board expectations A highly satisfied client The deal forms a key component of Fujitsu’s

  • ngoing strategy to invest in the UK

transportation market and to build intellectual property in this area

PROCESS RESULTS BACKGROUND CLIENT TESTIMONY

  • “Smart Transactions Group decided to appoint a specialist technology investment bank after receiving unsolicited offers for the ACT business”
  • “Silverpeak's process delivered a number of additional offers for the business on terms that were attractive to Smart Transactions Group”

  • “Polluting” the market ahead of the process
  • Selling to investors like selling to clients
  • Missing the numbers during the process
  • Speak about valuation and pricing too early when there is not

enough interest

  • Not enough managers involved; too many employees involved
  • Provide too much or too little information

Mistakes that Silverpeak will allow you to avoid

page | CONFIDENTIAL 27

  • Fundraising

usually takes longer than expected

  • Companies often

think that they already have good presentation materials for investors

  • Process requires

careful thinking: small things can make the difference

  • Starting the process without sufficient financing
  • Starting too late increasing the risk of running out of money
  • Starting too early without sufficient demonstration points
  • Overplaying the cycle: rushing for fund raising when not ready
  • Go-to-market story too high level
  • Business plan dependent on new revenue streams that have not

been demonstrated

  • Limited or no exposure to strongest competitors or global players
  • Lack of exit planning

Wrong timing Weak story Mismanaged process
