VALUE CREATION ALTERNATIVES


Continue to enter into long term supply contracts and manage quality control. Recent agreements with national level retailers and chains aid in getting more contracts in future Pro: Growth in EBITDA due to increased revenues, broader customer base Con: Expansion of product line may be required which would require investment in facilities. OFI can act as a Manufacturers Sales and Branch Office (MSBO) for Specialty Food Group (SFG) especially in western US SFG Inc. is a leading marketer and producer of premium meat products based in Virginia. Expand operations to new regions and strengthen market share in existing areas of operations because of expanded product line. Possible 5% increase in profits even by conservative estimates. MSBOs realize greater economies of scale also help in mitigating the wholesale bypass risk Leverage SFGs existing relationships for access to niche markets in eastern US Purchase costs are nearly 85% revenues (industry average ~82%) Pro: Improve efficiencies and mitigate operating risks. Realize higher economies of scale. Con: Without careful planning of the distribution systems the requisite scale economies may not be realized.

Base Case

Synergistic MSBO agreement with SFG Inc. (a Glencoe


portfolio company)

30

V. EXIT STRATEGIES

EXIT STRATEGIES
Would allow for greatest valuation of company at exit Strategic buyers can utilize Overhill to reach new customer accounts or acquire leading-edge facilities

Sale to Strategic Buyer

Sale to Financial Buyer

Re-lever of Overhill would provide returns to present sponsor and allow continued growth of NGA Adequate number of PE firms with matching investment criteria

Public offering

Increased size of Overhill and expanded geographical presence may increase visibility in investor community Company may be more successful continuing as private company

Dividend recapitalization

Re-lever Overhill with additional debt to provide return to equity holders Financing for transaction may be difficult to secure
