Value <strong>of</strong> an SXG share prior to the<br />

Value <strong>of</strong> a share in the Merged Entity<br />

(minority interest basis)<br />

$0.02 $0.03 $0.04 $0.05<br />

The above pricing indicates that, as the value <strong>of</strong> an SXG share <strong>on</strong> a c<strong>on</strong>trol basis prior to the Transacti<strong>on</strong><br />

is equivalent to the value <strong>of</strong> a share in the merged entity <strong>on</strong> a minority basis, the Transacti<strong>on</strong> is fair for<br />

Shareholders.<br />

For the informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Shareholders we have also provided a comparis<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> a ‘like for like’ basis <strong>on</strong> a<br />

minority basis. We have therefore also calculated the value <strong>of</strong> an SXG share prior to the Transacti<strong>on</strong><br />

excluding a premium for c<strong>on</strong>trol. To do this we have deducted a minority interest discount <strong>of</strong> 20% - 26%<br />

and the resulting value range is shown in the table and graph below:<br />

2.5 Reas<strong>on</strong>ableness<br />

We have c<strong>on</strong>sidered the analysis in Secti<strong>on</strong> 13 <strong>of</strong> this report, in terms <strong>of</strong> both:<br />

• advantages and disadvantages <strong>of</strong> the Transacti<strong>on</strong>; and<br />

• other c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>s, including the positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Shareholders if the Transacti<strong>on</strong> does not proceed<br />

and the c<strong>on</strong>sequences <strong>of</strong> not approving the Transacti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

In our opini<strong>on</strong>, the positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Shareholders if the Transacti<strong>on</strong> is approved is more advantageous than the<br />

positi<strong>on</strong> if the Transacti<strong>on</strong> is not approved. Accordingly, in the absence <strong>of</strong> any other relevant informati<strong>on</strong>,<br />

we believe that the Transacti<strong>on</strong> is reas<strong>on</strong>able for Shareholders.<br />
