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 />
