KWC History up to 1999
KWC was ounded in ,emphis, '- in *+9? by Kemmons Wilson$ In the early years, its
business ocus was residential real estate in ,emphis$ @owe#er, in the summer o *+:*,
Kemmons, his mother, his wie, and their i#e children loaded up their >ldsmobile to dri#e cross
country to see the sights o Washington 6$C$ Aittle did they .now, but this #acation would
change the world and the ace o KWC ore#er$
'he Wilsons were a close amily, and Kemmons was always loo.ing to sa#e a dollar$ When
they stopped at a motel or the night, they would all share one room$ (nd since they were all in
the same room, to Kemmons/ mind, they should only ha#e to pay the standard charge or one
room$ (s Kemmons recalled, %4#erywhere we stopped, they charged an extra B2 or each child
who stayed in the room$ ( room was only about B<2? in those days$ I had i#e children, so my
B< room became B*<$ I told 6orothy that wasn/t air$& Kemmons did not 1ust get mad$ @e

build a chain o motels that will ne#er charge or children as long as they stay in the same room
as their parents$& Aater Kemmons recounted, C(ll I e#er wanted to do was to bring
standardi7ation to the hotel industry so people would .now exactly what to expect$& Kemmons
told 6orothy that he planned to build 900 such motels across the country$ Kemmons later
insisted that %she laughed at me, and that/s what made me mad and made me do it$&

>n (ugust *, *+:2, Kemmons/ dream came true as he opened his irst @oliday Inn on "ummer
(#enue in ,emphis, '-$ 'he irst @oliday Inn was barely open or business beore Kemmons
was mo#ing on to build more$ Within a span o two years, Kemmons had 99? rooms operating
in ,emphis, ma.ing him a ma1or player in the local lodging mar.et$ 5ut Kemmons soon
reali7ed that i he wanted to reach his target o 900 hotels, he would need help$ @e reached out
to another prominent homebuilder Wallace Dohnson in *+:3$ 'he idea was that by getting
hundreds o hotels in operation )uic.ly, @oliday Inn could introduce a national reser#ation
system and mar.eting system or all the hotels$ 5y selling other homebuilders the plans and
licenses to build @oliday Inns, Kemmons and Wallace launched one o the irst business
ranchise systems in the country$ 5y 6ecember *+<2, @oliday Inn number 900 opened its doors$
Kemmons had ulilled the bold prediction he had made to 6orothy 1ust o#er a decade beore$
(nd by *+E2, with o#er *000 hotels, @oliday Inn became the irst lodging and ood ser#ice chain
to top a billion dollars in sales$
,eanwhile, all through the @oliday Inn years and beyond, Kemmons maintained his personal
real estate, construction and insurance holdings under the name KWC, which was originally
ormed in *+9?$ 5y the early *+E0/s, Kemmons/ three sons had 1oined KWC helping to build
hotels, housing subdi#isions, apartment buildings, condominiums, shopping centers, warehouses,
oices and other buildings$ (lthough real estate was the ocal point o KWC, other business
interests o#er the years included a ban., a candy operation, a tortilla chip business, a company
that made ountain pens, companies that manuactured plastic products, a dri#ing range, a
commercial catish and bullrog arm, radio stations, a mobile home plant, and a coal, oil and gas
company to name a ew$
(ter ha#ing open2heart surgery in *+E+, Kemmons decided to retire rom @oliday Inn$
Kemmons along with his 3 sons again ocused his ull2time attention to KWC$ 5y the late
*++0/s, KWC included third generation amily members and .ey interests included the world/s
largest single site timeshare resort in >rlando (>range Aa.e), Kemmons Wilson Insurance,
Wilson @otel ,anagement, =eal 4state Fentures (commercial and residential), and Wilson (ir
Centers ((#iation)$
In addition to these interests, KWC also had a %!ri#ate In#estment& arm$ With an
entrepreneurial spirit at its core, KWC was acti#ely see.ing to ac)uire good businesses$ KWC/s
%!ri#ate In#estment& mission was to create long term wealth or the Wilson amily by in#esting
in a portolio o highly select, non2publicly traded in#estment opportunities possessing the
potential or signiicant appreciation at an appropriate le#el o ris.$ 'he ob1ecti#e was to
signiicantly outperorm, o#er long time periods, the potential return o a prudently in#ested
portolio o mar.etable securities$ 'he pri#ate in#estment ob1ecti#e places an emphasis on the
creation o wealth through capital appreciation as opposed to current income$ Whereas
Kemmons was a tremendous ris. ta.er and continually %bet the arm,& the Company now
ocused more on stable and predictable cash low businesses and limited its more %#enture&
in#esting$ In essence, the ris.s ta.en were more calculated with a ocus more on wealth

PSI Discovery
KWC had a number o #enues in which they sourced pri#ate e)uity opportunities$ @istorically,
KWC/s approach was more passi#e than acti#e in the sense that they had an open2door policy
allowing anyone and e#eryone the time to come and pitch ideas, business opportunities, etc$
Gortunately, because o its reputation and past successes, KWC was able to ac)uire and3or
partner with some great businesses #ia this passi#e route$ @owe#er, this reacti#e approach also
led to its air share o ailures and, by the late *++0/s, KWC consciously began to ta.e a more
proacti#e approach in inding new opportunities$ 'his acti#e approach was accomplished by not
only endea#oring to proprietarily source deals through its networ. o relationships but also by
sourcing deals rom intermediaries including in#estment ban.s, business bro.ers, other pri#ate
e)uity irms, etc$
Interestingly, KWC was inormed o !"I rom one o its own employees$ In late *++? 5illy
!erry, an employee wor.ing or KWC/s homebuilding di#ision, approached the principals to
inorm them o a company in their hometown o ,emphis whose owner might be interested in

age and ha#ing no heirs to the business, was loo.ing to possibly sell the Company$ Knowing
that KWC was loo.ing or good companies to ac)uire as part o their pri#ate in#estment arm,
