The Indemnified Party will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any settlement effected without its consent. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party any counterclaim against the Third Party Claimant, or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Provided the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party has the right in good faith to settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without prior notice to or consent of the Indemnifying Party.
31

Any payment under this Article X shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as the Indemnified Party shall designate to the Indemnifying Party in writing. Any indemnification of a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article X will be jointly and severally satisfied directly by Seller.

Purpose & Intended Use |
Potential Acquisition of ~75% of ASCs Common Shares by BankGuam Holding Company |
|
Scope of Work 2 |
Calculations |
1 | As presently contemplated, the transaction would entail a phased cash acquisition in which the Company would initially acquire 25% of ASC followed by two separate transactions that would increase the ownership to approximately 75% on or about five years after the initial transaction. Since the ultimate goal is to acquire a majority of the Companys equity, this analysis is being performed on a controlling interest basis. |
2 | American Society of Appraisers, ASA Business Valuation Standards © as revised (Revision published November 2009), BVS-I, General Requirements for Developing a Business Valuation © , pp. 5-7. As defined in BVS-I, there are three scopes of work which include: 1) Appraisal; 2) Limited Appraisal; and 3) Calculations. The objective of calculations is to provide an approximate indication of value based upon the performance of limited procedures agreed upon by the appraiser and the client. Calculations have the following qualities: Their results may be expressed as either a single dollar amount or a range; they may be based upon consideration of only limited relevant information; the appraiser performs only limited information and analysis procedures; the calculations may be based upon conceptual approaches agreed upon with the client. |
Page 2 |
We have relied upon the referenced information, including management supplied projections, without independent verification. The valuation is therefore dependent upon the information provided. A material change in critical information relied upon in this analysis would be cause for a reassessment to determine the effect, if any, upon our opinion.
SUMMARY BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
ASC Trust Corporation (ASC or the Company) is an independently owned trust company headquartered in Hagatna, Guam. The Company provides retirement plan administration and consulting services both to Fortune 500 companies and small- and mid-sized businesses primarily in Guam and other areas of Micronesia. In addition to functioning as a third party administrator for plan design, compliance, and the like, ASC offers diversified investment options through Raymond James and Fidelity Investments. ASC reported $6.0 million in revenue for the latest twelve months (LTM) ended September 30, 2015. Assets under management (AUM) were $496 million as of September 30, 2015 while LTM management-related fees equated to 0.93% of average AUM. As discussed below, we developed a measure of ongoing earning power of $1.3 million from adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and amortization (EBITDA). The earning power measure equates to an operating margin of about 21%.
CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION
It is our understanding that management of BankGuam Holding Company (BGHC) has entered into discussions with ASC management regarding the potential acquisition of ASC by BGHC. As presently contemplated BGHC would acquire a controlling interest in ASC over five years via a three-step transaction that would entail the sequential purchase of about 25%, 24% and 25% of existing common shares. ASC would remain a separately chartered subsidiary of BGHC rather than become a subsidiary of BGHCs primary subsidiary, Bank of Guam (Bank). ASCs existing management would continue to run the company during the five-year transition period.

RANGE OF FAIR MARKET VALUE
The conclusions of enterprise value and common equity value are summarized below and in Exhibit 1. Enterprise value reflects the value of the Company before consideration of the capital structure (i.e., debt and equity), net working capital, and any non-operating assets. The conclusion of value for the common shares is derived by adjusting the enterprise value for cash, debt (minimal), required capital to maintain a separate charter ($500,000) and net working capital. The adjustments do not include a parcel of land that is carried on the balance sheet for $585 thousand that will be excluded from the transaction.

$ | 11,000,000 to $11,800,000 | ||
Equity Value |
$ | 11,500,000 to $12,300,000 |
STANDARD OF VALUE
Fair market value is defined as follows:
The price, expressed in terms of cash equivalents, at which property would change hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller, acting at arms length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. 4
The willing seller and the willing buyer are hypothetical parties. Each is assumed to be well informed about the subject interest and the market context in which it might be transacted.
Fair market value is similarly defined in various sections of the Internal Revenue Code, related regulations and interpretations, including Revenue Ruling 59-60, Section 20.2031-1(b) of the Estate Tax Regulations, and Section 25.2512.1 of the Gift Tax Regulations.
3 | Enterprise value is total equity value and interest-bearing debt balance less cash and marketable securities. Enterprise value is often described as a theoretical price for a potential target since many transactions include debt purchases without the accompanying payment for cash or excess assets. |

LEVEL OF VALUE
Valuation theory suggests that there are various levels of value applicable to a business or business ownership interest. The levels of value can be described as: 5
| Controlling interest basis (levels) refers to the value of the enterprise as a whole. The controlling interest level of value is considered to include two components, the financial control level and the strategic control level. |
| Marketable minority interest basis (level) refers to the value of a minority interest, lacking control, but enjoying the benefit of liquidity as if it were freely tradable in an active market. The marketable minority level of value is also on an enterprise level of value, meaning that it is developed based on 100% of the expected cash flows of the enterprise. |
| Nonmarketable minority interest basis (level) refers to the value of a minority interest, lacking both control and market liquidity. |
The relationship between these three levels of value is depicted in the following chart. Traditionally, valuation professionals did not distinguish between financial control and strategic control concepts. The traditional levels of value chart is shown on the left. The updated chart showing the four levels of value is on the right. The valuation of ASC is prepared on the controlling interest basis given the contemplated transaction in which ~75% of the Companys shares will be acquired by BGHC.

Overview of the Company
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
The Company was founded in 1990 as a transaction advisory firm called Administrative Services Corporation. A few years after its formation, ASCs leadership saw a need for retirement plan services on Guam and began focusing more on asset management and related consulting services for pension plans and their participants. As of the valuation date the Company managed approximately $520 million in client assets for over 300 pension plans and 20,000 participants, making it the largest retirement fund manager in Guam.
The Company is currently managed by its President and Director of Asset Management, David John, along with a team of seasoned professionals each tasked with heading up a particular department. Mr. John owns 79.3% of the Companys 4,000 outstanding common shares. ASCs management team is young but experienced with no immediate plans for retirement or named successors. The Company employs over 60 people across its three locations in Hagatna, Guam, Manilia, Philippines, and Saipan with most of its staff working from its corporate headquarters in Hagatna. Management noted that ASC is adequately staffed for current operations.
As a third party administrative and recordkeeping firm, the Company provides plan design and compliance services, trustee services, asset allocation, and performance reporting. ASC outsources its custodial and investment consulting services to Fidelity and Raymond James, respectively, so it can focus on providing quality administrative services to its clients. The current fee structure entails a sliding scale of 0.30% to 1.00% of plan assets for administration and 0.80% for asset allocation within the collective investment trust. Management noted that it has reduced fees since 2010 to strengthen the Companys competitive position by making it less attractive for stateside competitors to enter the market in addition to normal pricing pressure from clients. In 2012, the stated fee structure entailed 0.60% to 1.00% for plan administration and 1.00% for asset allocation services.
The Company has some customer concentrations with its top ten client relationships comprising nearly half of its AUM but only 25% of revenue because many of these larger accounts have negotiated fees. (Bank of Guam accounted for 2.4% of revenues.) Management noted that the Company maintains good relations with these clients and believes it has little risk of losing these accounts in the foreseeable future.

The Company has a relatively low amount of competition on Guam and has significant market share in administering the islands retirement assets. Management noted that ASCs competitive strengths include its strong ties to the local community, plan expertise, and superior customer service. Despite its high market share, management sees significant opportunity in regional governments realigning their retirement plans into defined contribution arrangements in addition to some economic tailwind from tourism and military spending in the local economy. Management indicated there was some risk of a larger pension provider entering the market, but the size of the market and ASCs competitive fee structure would likely preclude this from happening.

SOURCES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT DATA
The Companys financial statements were audited by Ernst & Young LLP in Tamuning, Guam for the 2010 to 2014 fiscal years and prepared by management for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015.
NON-PUBLIC PEER GROUP FOR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
A comparison with industry financial measures available from non-public company sources was obtained through review of Annual Statement Studies published by Risk Management Association (RMA). RMA compiled average percentage income statements and balance sheets and key financial ratios of investment advisors. The RMA data provides a limited comparative perspective; strict comparisons should be made with caution.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT REVIEW AND EARNING POWER DEVELOPMENT
Balance Sheets. Excluding participant assets and mirror liabilities, the balance sheet can be described as liquid and nearly debt-free. As discussed in the valuation section, not all of the liquidity constitutes a non-operating asset because $500 thousand is needed to meet capital requirements. The Companys liquidity cycle reflects a build-up in cash during the year, then a reduction at or near year-end when bonus payments and tax-related distributions are made.
Included in net fixed assets of $827 thousand as of September 30, 2015, is a parcel of land located in Hagatna that was acquired several years ago for $585 thousand in anticipation of development; however, management elected not to proceed with development in 2014, which resulted in the write-off of $185 thousand of capitalized costs (classified as construction-in-progress).
Income Statements. Table 1 reflects summary operating metrics from historical and adjusted income statements (Exhibit 2 and Schedule 3). Revenues increased 47% between 2010 and the LTM period-ended September 30, 2015 to $6.0 million. Although period-end AUM increased 59% over this period to $499 million, realized fees declined due to managements decision to reduce fees to improve the Companys competitive position. Managements 2015 budget projects a 2% increase in revenues to $5.8 million due to asset growth.
Reported pretax income ranged between $581 thousand (2013) and $896 thousand (2010). Managements 2015 budget projects unadjusted pretax income of $975 thousand. In Exhibit 2 we adjusted the historical financial statements and the 2015 budget for unusual items and compensation that will be impacted by the transaction in order to examine trends in core earnings and to develop a measure of earning power. These adjustments include:
a) | 100% of CEO Johns bonus was deducted from reported operating expenses in order to make a normalizing adjustment once initial EBITDA is derived; |
b) | $75 thousand of non-recurring legal expense incurred in the LTM period and budgeted for 2015 was deducted given the limited period step-up in the expense; and |
c) | $185 thousand of expense incurred in 4Q14 to write-off of capitalized costs associated with the parcel of land that will not be developed was eliminated because it is a non-cash, non-recurring charge. |
As shown in Table 1 and Exhibit 2, adjusted pretax income excluding unusual items and CEO Johns bonuses was $1.3 million in 2010, declined to $978 thousand in 2012 as expenses rose with expansion of the business, and has since climbed to $1.3 million in the LTM period as both revenues and operating leverage increased. The adjusted budget reflects further improvement to $1.5 million.
Page 9 |
In order to develop adjusted EBITDA we made the following additional adjustments:
d) | Interest expense and income were respectively, added and subtracted, from adjusted pre-tax income; |
e) | Depreciation expense was added to adjusted pre-tax income; and |
f) | Managements bonus compensation was adjusted to 12.5% of EBITDA before the owners bonus for each period based upon our understanding that the agreement will have a variable bonus structure based on the referenced percentage. |
Adjusted EBITDA followed a similar trajectory as adjusted pretax income, declining from $1.3 million in 2010 to $1.0 million in 2012, and then rebounding to $1.2 million in the LTM period. Managements 2015 budget as adjusted projects improvement to $1.4 million. The adjusted EBITDA margins of 20.5% for the LTM period and 23.3% for the 2015 budget compare to 26.2% for the peer group margin.

Ongoing Earning Power. For purposes of the valuation we have derived ongoing earning power. It is not a specific forecast of any subsequent periods net income; rather, it only represents one component of a single-period capitalization of earnings valuation method. An asset managers ongoing earnings power is a function of its current AUM balance, expected fee pricing, and operating expense structure at the valuation date.
As shown in Exhibit 2, we assume base revenues of $5.9 million given current average AUM of about $510 million and a slightly lower AUM fee of 0.90%. After deducting operating expenses and making adjustments for compensation and the non-recurring legal expense, ongoing earning power as measured by EBITDA is $1.2 million (21.2% margin) .

Determination of Value
The American Society of Appraisers recognizes three general approaches to valuation. 6 Within each approach the appraiser may apply various appraisal methods. The valuation methods used are considered by the appraiser to be those most appropriate to the present valuation. The selected methods are summarized in Exhibits 1 through 12 (the valuation exhibits) and discussed in the following sections.
ASSET-BASED APPROACH
The asset-based approach is a general way of determining a value indication of a business, business ownership interest, or security using one or more methods based on the value of the assets net of liabilities. Asset-based valuation methods include those methods that seek to write up (or down) or otherwise adjust the various tangible and intangible assets of an enterprise. Methodologies employed under the asset-based approach are not relevant to the valuation of a professional services enterprise such as the Company.
INCOME APPROACH
The income approach is a general way of determining a value indication of a business, business ownership interest, security or intangible asset using one or more methods that convert anticipated economic benefits into a present single amount.
Valuation methods under the income approach include those methods that provide for the direct capitalization of earnings estimates, as well as valuation methods calling for the forecasting of future benefits (earnings or cash flows) and then discounting those benefits to the present at an appropriate discount rate.
Capitalization of Cash Flow Earning Power Method (using ACAPM)
Capitalization of earnings is an income approach that requires estimates of ongoing earning power and a capitalization rate (or multiple). Conceptually, the method entails deriving a risk-adjusted rate (or multiple) appropriate for the subject company, adjusted for long-term growth that an investor would target for the subject.

After-Tax Earning Power. As discussed above, we developed ongoing earning power as measured by EBITDA of $1.2 million. In Exhibit 4 we derive ongoing earning power on an after-tax basis because BGHC as the prospective owner is taxed as a C corporation. The adjustments include deducting depreciation and taxes based upon an assumed marginal rate of 40% to derive net operating profit after tax (NOPAT). In addition, we assume a minimal investment in working capital is necessary to support growth. The result is ongoing (cash flow) earning power on an after-tax basis of approximately $673,000. Assuming a long-term growth rate of 5.0%, earning power is adjusted to $707,000 for purposes of capitalization within the context of the perpetuity formula. 7
Capitalization Rate. The derivation of a capitalization factor using ACAPM requires summation of the components followed by the subtraction of the expected long-term earnings growth rate. 8 The appropriate capitalization rate components for the Company include the following (see Exhibit 6):
Risk-Free Rate. This is measured as the yield to maturity on 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds, which was 2.54% as of the valuation date, according to Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15.
| Common Stock Premium . Historically, investments in large capitalization stocks (as represented by the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index) have yielded a premium investment return over the yield on long-term Treasuries. This risk premium is estimated to be 5.50%. 9 |
Beta. The beta statistic is a measure of the degree to which returns on a specific investment move in relationship to overall market returns. A beta of 1.0 has been applied under the assumption that, to the extent returns on an investment in the subject company are correlated with returns in the broad equity markets, returns on the subject investment are expected to display volatility equal to the market over time. The beta-adjusted common stock premium is 5.50%.
7 | The perpetuity formula, which calculates the present value of a constantly growing cash flow stream, is based upon year one cash flow (i.e., next years cash flow) divided by the capitalization rate (or multiplied by the capitalization factor). |
8 | The capitalization rate (CR%) is the required rate (or discount rate) of return (r) minus the growth rate (g). The earnings valuation multiple is the reciprocal of the capitalization rate (1/CR%). Capitalization of earnings effectively determines the present value of the earning power, growing perpetually (at g%) and discounted at the required rate of return (r%). |
9 | Mercer Capital conducts an ongoing analysis of the average annual market return data published in Ibbotson Stocks, Bonds, Bills & Inflation (SBBI) by Morningstar. The average annual returns are calculated based upon data from 1926 to the present. Mercer Capitals analysis indicates that the average returns for multi-year holding periods differ somewhat from those published in SBBI. We have estimated multi-year returns to reflect historical premium returns achieved by large capitalization common stocks (the S&P 500) over long-term Treasuries (the common stock premium) and also by smaller capitalization common stocks over the S&P 500 (the small cap premium). For a description of the methodology, see Julius, J. Michael, Market Returns in Rolling Multi-Year Holding Periods: An Alternative Interpretation of the Ibbotson Data, Business Valuation Review, Vol. 15, No. 2, June, 1996. |
Page 13 |
| Small Capitalization Stock Premium. Historically, investments in smaller capitalization common stocks have achieved a premium investment return over the returns of the S&P 500, or the large capitalization stocks. The small capitalization common stock premium is estimated to be 3.84% and is added to the beta-adjusted common stock premium for a total equity premium of 8.84%. 10 |
| Specific Company Risk Premium. Returns on publicly traded stocks typically display some degree of volatility which cannot be correlated with movements in the broad equity indices, that is, cannot be explained by the beta statistic. In addition, privately owned businesses often have specific risks that would not pertain to larger, publicly traded companies from which Ibbotson & Associates return data is derived. Specific factors pertaining to the Company include the following: |
| ASC is significantly smaller than the companies from which the Ibbotson data are derived; |
| The Company is dependent upon its CEO and to a lesser extent certain members of its management team; and |
| ASC has some customer concentrations with its top ten client relationships possessing roughly half of the Companys total AUM and 25% of revenues. |
Based upon these additional risk elements, an incremental specific company risk premium of 3.00% is added to the other build-up components.
Cost of Equity. The equity discount rate is the sum of the components above, 14.90%.
Cost of Debt. The cost of debt is assumed to equal the yield on corporate bonds rated Baa at the valuation date.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) . The weighted average cost of capital is a discount rate applicable to future cash flows to all capital (debt and equity) providers. With no assumed debt in the Companys capital structure, its WACC equals the equity discount rate of 14.90% in this analysis.
1 0 | Ibid. |
Page 14 |
Short-Term vs. Long-Term Earnings Growth Rate . Converting a discount rate to a capitalization rate requires the subtraction of the expected long-term growth rate from the discount rate. In the case of ASC, management has forecasted a level of growth through 2020 that if realized likely will prove to be higher than a sustainable, long-term growth rate would be. Perspective on historical and projected growth in revenues and EBITDA are shown in Exhibit 4. For purposes of the analysis we assumed above trend growth of 12.0% over the next five years and long-term growth thereafter of 5.0%.
Capitalization Rate . Derivation of the base capitalization rate of 9.90% reflects subtraction of the long-term growth rate of 5.0% from the WACC of 14.90%. The inverse of the capitalization rate (i.e., 1/9.90%) is the capitalization factor (or multiple) of 10.1x; however, the multiple is adjusted for the five-year high-to-normalized growth factor of 1.23, which produces a capitalization multiple of 12.35x (rounded). 11 This product of this capitalization multiple and our estimate of cash flow to be capitalized ($707,000) developed in Exhibit 4 yields the indicated value of $8.7 million (rounded).

$ | 8,700,000 |
Discounted Cash Flow Method
The discounted cash flow (DCF) method is an income approach utilized to determine the net present value of all expected future cash flows flowing to a respective ownership interest. The discounted cash flow methodology requires three basic elements:
| Forecast of Expected Future Cash Flow . Generally, analysts develop forecasts of cash flow for discrete periods ranging from three to ten years. While the most popular period for such forecasts is five years, this may not be appropriate in all cases. Conceptually, one would forecast discrete cash flows for as many periods as necessary until a stabilized cash flow stream could be anticipated. |
| Selection of Appropriate Discount Rate . The discount rate is used to discount the forecasted cash flows to the present. The sum of the present values of all the forecasted cash flows (both the discretely forecasted periods and the terminal value) is the indication of value for a specific set of forecast assumptions. |
11 | The high-to-normalized growth adjustment factor reflects the following formula: [(1+long-term growth) + (Transition years / 2) x (Limited high growth period less long-term growth)] |
Page 15 |
| Determination of Terminal Value. The terminal value is the value of all cash flows beyond the immediate, discrete forecast period. The terminal value is typically determined by capitalizing cash flow (or other performance metric) at the end of the forecast period. Capitalization methods for the terminal value vary from single-period capitalizations utilizing variations of the Gordon model to the application of current or projected market multiples. |
For purposes of this analysis, two sets of projections were prepared to model future cash flows under two distinct scenarios. Scenario 1 (Exhibits 5-7) assumes that the Company does not obtain a contract with the government of Guam to manage approximately $450 million in pension assets, but continues to grow its existing AUM. Scenario 2 (Exhibits 8-10) assumes ASC develops this relationship at the end of 2016 while also growing its core business as well. Both sets of projections were prepared by management.
Cash Flow Forecast Scenario 1 (no Government Contract)
As shown in Exhibit 5, revenues are projected to increase from the ongoing base of $5.7 million to $7.8 million in year five via growth in AUM from $521 million to $827 million, which in turn is partially offset by a reduction in AUM fees from 0.90% to 0.82%. Adjusted EBITDA for owners compensation (@ 12.5% of pre-bonus EBITDA) is projected to increase from $1.3 million to $2.4 million. Scenario 1 entails operating leverage such that the EBITDA margin expands from 22.5% to 30.6%.
Discount Rate- Scenario 1
The appropriate rate to discount the projected cash flows to the present is the weighted average cost of capital of 14.90% as discussed above and presented in Exhibit 6.
Terminal Value Scenario 1
The terminal (or residual) value represents the value of all of the cash flows received after the end of the forecast period. As indicated in Exhibit 7, the product of the projected net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) in the terminal year and the applicable capitalization factor of 10.1x yields the terminal value.
Page 16 |
Indicated Value - Discounted Cash Flow Method (Scenario 1)
The indicated value is determined by discounting the projected annual cash flows and terminal value to the present at the weighted average cost of capital. The financial projection used in the valuation analysis measures free cash flows to all capital providers.

$ | 11,200,000 |
Cash Flow Forecast Scenario 2 (New Government Contract)
Scenario 2 as developed by management assumes the Company obtains a contract from the government of Guam to administer the employees retirement assets. As shown in Exhibit 8, Scenario 2 results in a higher level of projected revenues ($10.1 million) and EBITDA ($3.7 million) than in Scenario 1, although the increase is limited by the lower fees (0.40% vs. 0.80%).
Discount Rate- Scenario 2
Given the lower likelihood of Scenario 2 as of the valuation date vis-à-vis the baseline in Scenario 1, we increased the WACC by 200bps to 16.90%.
Terminal Value Scenario 2
The terminal (or residual) value represents the value of all of the cash flows received after the end of the forecast period. The capitalization factor of 8.40x is lower than Scenario 1 because the WACC is higher. As indicated in Exhibit 10, the terminal value is the product of the terminal year net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) in the terminal year and the applicable capitalization factor.
Page 17 |
Indicated Value - Discounted Cash Flow Method (New Government Contract Scenario)
The indicated value is determined by discounting the projected annual cash flows and terminal value to the present at the weighted average cost of capital of 16.90%. The financial projection used in the valuation analysis measures free cash flows to all capital providers.

MARKET APPROACH
The market approach is a general way of determining a value indication of a business, business ownership interest, security or intangible asset by using one or more methods that compare the subject to similar businesses, business ownership interests, securities or intangible assets that have been sold.
Market methods include a variety of methods that compare the subject with transactions involving similar investments, including publicly traded guideline companies and sales involving controlling interests in public or private guideline companies. Consideration of prior transactions in interests of a valuation subject is also a method under the market approach.
Transactions Method - Internal
The internal transactions method is a market approach that develops an indication of value based upon actual transactions in the stock of a subject company or acquisition offers to the extent there have been recent substantive discussions. It is our understanding that ASC management has not received nor solicited an acquisition offer from any institution or individual(s).
Guideline Public Company Method
Guideline public companies can provide a reasonable basis to develop applicable multiples (e.g., EV/EBITDA, P/E, etc.). Guideline companies are used to develop valuation indications under the presumption that a similar market exists for the subject company and the guideline companies. In the case of ASC, public companies are not directly relevant for two reasons. One is that the valuation is prepared on a controlling interest basis given the contemplated acquisition of upwards of 75% of the existing shares by BGHC. Also, the Company is very small in relation to most publicly traded asset managers.
Page 18 |
Guideline Transaction Method
Acquisition transactions of both publicly and privately held companies in the same or similar business may provide a reasonable basis for valuation of the subject company. In the case of the asset management and administration industry, a sizable number of transactions typically occur each year; however, the frequency in which pricing and/or key metrics (e.g., AUM, EBITDA and revenues) is reported is less robust than announced acquisitions.
Selected Market Transactions
Using the SNL Financial database and Mercer Capitals proprietary research, we developed a group of transactions to provide perspective on current acquisition pricing for asset managers. Exhibit 11 contains recent transactions involving U.S.-based asset management firms and trust companies that with the exception of one transaction were acquired for less than $200 million. The median enterprise value in relation to EBITDA, AUM and revenue were 9.6x, 2.0% and 2.2x. The indicated values from this methodology are displayed in Exhibit 12.

RANGE OF FAIR MARKET VALUE
In Exhibit 1, weights have been assigned to the values indicated by the various methods to develop a range of value. The weights reflect our opinion of the relative importance or reliability of the methods and serve as a means of simulating the thinking of hypothetical investors in establishing a reasonable range of value for ASC at the valuation date. They do not represent a rigid mathematical formula. The indicated range of enterprise values represents the Companys operating value before consideration of excess assets or capital structure. ASCs total equity value incorporates excess assets and interest-bearing debt obligations.
Page 19 |
As shown in Exhibit 1, we applied 50% of the weight to the income approaches and 50% to the market (transaction) approaches. The range of fair market value was developed by adjusting the weights among the indicated values. The midpoint of the $11.0 million to $11.8 million range is $ 11.4 million; or, stated differently, +/- ~4% from the mid-point.
The indicated range of fair market value for the Companys common equity is $ 11.5 million to $ 12.3 million. The equity value reflects adjustments to the enterprise value for cash and securities, less debt, net working capital (net liabilities) and required capital ($500,000). As noted, it is our understanding ASC will retain its charter as a separate subsidiary of BGHC and therefore will continue to be subject to stand-alone capital requirements.

$ | 11,000,000 to $11,800,000 | ||
Equity Value |
$ | 11,500,000 to $12,300,000 |
The estimated range of enterprise value as a percentage or multiple of AUM, revenue, and EBITDA is in line with the corresponding metrics from the guideline transaction group of 2.0%, 2.2x and 9.6x. We believe these relative value measures substantiate the reasonableness of our opinion.

Notes
(1): | Yield on 20-year Treasury securities per Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15. |
(2): | Investors demand higher expected returns on equity investments relative to risk-free alternatives. This is supported by market evidence, as investments in large capitalization stocks (as represented by the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index), historically, have yielded higher total returns relative to long-term U.S. Treasury securities. The equity risk premium has been a topic of regular conversation and debate among academics, market analysts, valuation practitioners, and the like for decades. Mercer Capital regularly reviews a spectrum of studies on the equity risk premium, as well as conducting its own study. Most of these studies suggest that the appropriate large capitalization equity risk premium lies in the range of 4.0% to 7.0%. The chosen equity risk premium represents a composite assumption which is consistent with this range. |
(3): | A beta of 1.0 has been applied under the assumption that, to the extent returns on an investment in the subject company are correlated with returns in the broad equity markets, returns on the subject investment are expected to display volatility equal to the market over time. |
(4): | Historically, investments in smaller capitalization common stocks have achieved a higher investment return compared to the S&P 500, or the large capitalization stocks, due to the higher level of risk associated with smaller companies. We have applied a size premium based on the observed size premium for publicly traded companies in the ninth and tenth deciles (with market capitalizations under $633 million), per the 2014 Ibbotson SBBI Valuation Yearbook . |
(5): | Returns on publicly traded stocks typically display some degree of volatility which cannot be correlated with movements in the broad equity indices, that is, cannot be explained by the beta statistic. In addition, privately owned businesses often have specific risks that would not pertain to larger, publicly traded companies from which Ibbotson SBBI Valuation Yearbook return data is derived. Specific factors pertaining to the Company include the following: |
- Factor 1: Small size (~$500M of AUM)
- Factor 2: Key Man Dependency on David John
- Factor 3: Customer concentrations with top ten clients owning 50% of AUM
(6): | ASC debt consists of $25K draw on $100K revolver (P+200bps), $78K of bank debt secured with Company vehicles (7.75%), and $82k note secured with property (3.43%) |
(7): | No applicable spread given minimal levels of interest-bearing debt in capital structure. |
(8): | The selected capital structure is based on the Companys existing capital structure. |
(9): | Based on the concluded total capital value calculated in the following exhibit. |

Notes
(1): | Yield on 20-year Treasury securities per Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15. |
(2): | Investors demand higher expected returns on equity investments relative to risk-free alternatives. This is supported by market evidence, as investments in large capitalization stocks (as represented by the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index), historically, have yielded higher total returns relative to long-term U.S. Treasury securities. The equity risk premium has been a topic of regular conversation and debate among academics, market analysts, valuation practitioners, and the like for decades. Mercer Capital regularly reviews a spectrum of studies on the equity risk premium, as well as conducting its own study. Most of these studies suggest that the appropriate large capitalization equity risk premium lies in the range of 4.0% to 7.0%. The chosen equity risk premium represents a composite assumption which is consistent with this range. |
(3): | A beta of 1.0 has been applied under the assumption that, to the extent returns on an investment in the subject company are correlated with returns in the broad equity markets, returns on the subject investment are expected to display volatility equal to the market over time. |
(4): | Historically, investments in smaller capitalization common stocks have achieved a higher investment return compared to the S&P 500, or the large capitalization stocks, due to the higher level of risk associated with smaller companies. We have applied a size premium based on the observed size premium for publicly traded companies in the ninth and tenth deciles (with market capitalizations under $633 million), per the 2014 Ibbotson SBBI Valuation Yearbook . |
(5): | Returns on publicly traded stocks typically display some degree of volatility which cannot be correlated with movements in the broad equity indices, that is, cannot be explained by the beta statistic. In addition, privately owned businesses often have specific risks that would not pertain to larger, publicly traded companies from which Ibbotson SBBI Valuation Yearbook return data is derived. Specific factors pertaining to the Company include the following: |
- Factor 1: Small size (~$500M of AUM)
- Factor 2: Key Man Dependency on David John
- Factor 3: Customer concentrations with top ten clients owning 50% of AUM
- Factor 4: Risk that new business opportunities may not materialize
(6): | ASC debt consists of $25K draw on $100K revolver (P+200bps), $78K of bank debt secured with Company vehicles (7.75%), and $82k note secured with property (3.43%) |
(7): | No applicable spread given minimal levels of interest-bearing debt in capital structure. |
(8): | The selected capital structure is based on the Companys existing capital structure. |
(9): | Based on the concluded total capital value calculated in the following exhibit. |
