B. Overview of the Transaction Halsey Wise, President & CEO |
Overview of the Transaction Investor Group led by Texas Pacific Group (TPG) and Hellman & Friedman (H&F) has agreed to acquire Intergraph Corporation Acquisition is an all cash transaction at $44.00 per share (paid at closing) or total aggregate consideration of approximately $1.3 billion: Represents a 22% premium to average closing price for previous 20 trading days More than 100% return to shareholders over the past three years due to the hard work of everyone at Intergraph Intergraph's independent Board Members, upon review of the Company's strategic alternatives, unanimously agreed that the transaction was fair to and in the best interest of our shareholders: Transaction is contingent on stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions to closing Transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, at which time Intergraph will become a private company TPG and H&F invested in Intergraph because they believe in our business, our people and our mission: Both firms fully support Intergraph's Strategic Plan and business transformation efforts Both firms look forward to partnering with Intergraph's management and employees to execute our strategy and to grow our business |
What are the Advantages of Being a Private Company? As a private company, we will have greater freedom and flexibility to: Focus and build a growth-oriented future Extend and enhance our history of technical innovation Accelerate our business transformation mission Private companies can make business decisions entirely on long-term value creation and growth prospects: Public companies are much more scrutinized on short-term/quarterly financial metrics Private companies can focus capital & resources on their core business of delivering innovative solutions to their customers and markets: Public companies must manage hundreds of public investors and utilize resources to satisfy public disclosure & other requirements - this also increases disclosure to competitors Private companies have more degrees of freedom to execute their strategy (i.e., acquisitions or new development projects): Public companies must be mindful of the varying risk tolerances of public investors In addition, Intergraph benefits from having two leading global private investment firms that can provide deep industry expertise and an extensive network of resources |
