Methods used<br />

- Market prices<br />

- Discounted cash flow (DCF).<br />

Method presented for information purposes<br />

- Peer group multiples<br />

Number of diluted shares and adjusted net debt<br />

The presenting firm used the number of fully diluted shares (calculated in accordance with the “Treasury<br />

shares” method), which was 16,621,860.<br />

It used a net cash position of €9.3 million, after the exceptional dividend and including deferred tax assets on<br />

tax loss carryforwards; this amount is similar to the one we used based on tax savings already recognized in<br />

the business plan in our analysis.<br />

The differences with our estimates (17.7 million shares and €12.6 million in net cash) arise primarily from the<br />

method used to calculate the dilution.<br />

5. 21 Reference to the December 20, 2011 transaction involving a majority stake<br />

We have no comments to make on the reference to the price of acquisitions made on December 20, 2011,<br />

as we also used this reference as our primary method.<br />

5. 22 Stock market price and analysts’ price targets<br />

We have no comment to make on the presenting firm’s analyses. We only used the stock market price on a<br />

secondary basis, however, given the stock’s thin trading volume. Since the stock is followed by only two<br />

analysts and not on a regular basis, the presenting firm did not use the analysts’ stock price targets, nor did<br />

we.<br />

5. 23 Discounted cash flow method<br />

The presenting firm applied the discounted cash flow method based on the business plan presented by the<br />

Company, extrapolating over a three-year period.<br />

To calculate the terminal value, standard cash flow was determined based on assumptions of 1.5% sales<br />

growth (long-term growth rate) and a 16% EBITDA-to-sales margin.<br />

We used similar assumptions, except that we estimated the growth rate to infinity at 1.75%.<br />

Financial assumptions<br />
