You are financial advisor to the Board of Directors of BMW AG, a global automobile manufacturer, on its potential acquisition of a 100% stake in HarleyDavidson, one of the leading motorcycle manufacturers based in the United States. BMW is listed o n the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ticker BMW.DE); Harley-Davidson is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker HOG). Harley Davidson is a premium motorcycle manufacturer operating in 2 segments: mo torcycle segment (OpCo) and the financial services segment (FinCo) J.P. Morgan has provided you with research notes on BMW and an industry report o n European auto and auto parts. You can get the various company filings from their respecti ve websites. You have also been provided with some trading and transaction comparables for th e broad sector. However, you may need to conduct additional research for more industry b ackground, company history, competitive position and financial information. Based on the collected information, you need to submit a written proposal to the Board on the strategic rationale of this transaction, the work scope and project process tail ored for this deal. In this proposal (PowerPoint format), you need to cover: Why should BMW acquire Harley-Davidson? Should BMW acquire both the FinCo and OpCo? If not, please suggest alternative s trategies for the FinCo. What are the other key issues to consider as part of the acquisition of Harley-D avidson? What is your assessment of BMWs credit worthiness? You are also required to provide an indicative valuation in your proposal that c overs the following: What are the valuation drivers for Harley-Davidson? What is your assessment of Harley-Davidsons fair value as on June 15, 2012? You should consider discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation, valuation based on com parable transactions and comparable trading multiples and sum-of-the-parts analysis Clearly explain the assumptions underlying your valuation model Analyze the benefits and limitations of the various valuation methodologies in v aluing Harley-Davidson Discuss the synergies that BMW may achieve through the transaction How should BMW fund the transaction? What would be the impact of this acquisition on BMWs credit rating? Will the deal be accretive or dilutive for BMW? What other alternatives does BMW have apart from Harley-Davidson to achieve the same objective? Your written proposal should be a PowerPoint presentation and can also cover poi nts you think relevant or necessary, but should be no more than twenty (20) A4 slides. In addi

tion to the proposal, the Board also requires you to deliver your valuation model as a refer ence. While the Board has provided a list of questions and issues, it is up to you to decide which are most relevant. However, you should think about your response to all of the issue s, as they may come up in questions the Board poses to you. " T H E D E A L " C A S E S T U D Y C O N F I D E N T I A L 3 3.
