Transaction Overview

Acquisition of a leading Australian automotive aftermarket parts and accessories distributor

  • Burson Group Limited (“BAP”) has entered into a binding agreement for the 100% acquisition of Metcash Automotive Holdings Pty Ltd (“MAH”) for $275 million[(1) ] from Metcash Trading Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metcash Limited) and entities associated with the CEO of MAH

Acquisition of Metcash Automotive Holdings

  • MAH is one of Australia’s leading distributors of automotive aftermarket parts and accessories with reported FY2015 revenue of $261 million and reported FY2015 EBITDA of $33 million

  • Acquisition adds significant scale to BAP’s wholesale and distribution platform, is complementary to BAP’s existing trade focus and creates a number of growth opportunities

  • Completion is expected to occur in July 2015, subject to satisfaction of the following condition:

  • no material adverse change in MAH and its subsidiaries EBIT of $3 million or more on an annualised basis since the date of the binding agreement

  • MAH is wholesaler and distributor of automotive parts and accessories to a marketing network of 416 stores and outlets (under the Autobarn, Autopro, Carparts, ABS and Midas brands) as well as ~3,000 other aftermarket customers

Metcash Automotive Holdings Overview

  • MAH’s business is comprised of two parts:

  • Wholesale and distribution (69% of FY2015 revenue[(2)] ) – one of Australia’s largest wholesalers with 10 distribution centres distributing 130,000 SKUs

  • Marketing network (31% of FY2015 revenue[(2)] ) – operates a network of 276 retail-focused stores (Autobarn, Autopro, Carparts) and 140 service workshops (Midas, ABS) under franchise arrangements that purchase parts and accessories from MAH’s wholesale and distribution business

Note: (1) Potential increase to the purchase price of $12 million (comprising $8 million up front and up to $4 million contingent on an earnout) if MAH completes a specified acquisition prior to BAP’s acquisition of MAH. In order to complete the specified acquisition, MAH must receive BAP’s written consent; (2) Based on MAH’s audited results for the 12 months ending 30 April 2015

Transaction Overview (cont’d)

Compelling Strategic Rationale

  • Complementary to BAP’s position in the supply chain – adds presence in wholesale, retail and service

  • Increases the scale of BAP’s wholesale and distribution business – important to competitive position and service levels

  • MAH’s marketing network increases the addressable market for BAP’s distribution infrastructure and creates new growth opportunities for BAP

  • Acquisition is complementary to BAP’s current trade focus and BAP’s strategy for its Burson branded store network – Target of 175 Burson branded stores by June 2019 remains unchanged

  • – MAH customer facing functions will continue to operate separately

  • MAH will accelerate BAP’s existing customer and product strategies

  • The acquisition will be fully funded through a combination of equity and debt comprising: – An underwritten 7 for 15 pro-rata accelerated renounceable Entitlement Offer to raise $218 million

  • – Placement of approximately $15 million in new BAP shares to MAH CEO. The entities associated with the CEO of MAH have elected to rollover a portion of their MTS shares into BAP by electing to receive BAP shares as consideration

  • Funding – Any BAP shares issued as consideration to entities associated with the CEO of MAH will be subject to escrow arrangements providing that 40% of escrowed shares will be released at time of release of BAP half year results for FY2016 and the remaining 60% to be released at time of release of BAP full year results for FY2016

  • – $71 million from increased debt facilities arranged with BAP’s existing lenders

  • • Expect approximately 20% EPS accretion on a full year pro forma basis (including incremental combined group costs and presynergies)[(1)]

  • • BAP intends to maintain a conservative capital structure, with pro forma net debt / EBITDA of approximately 1.75x following the

  • Expected acquisition[(2)] •

  • Financial Impact BAP currently intends to pay a Final Dividend in respect of 2H FY2015 of 4.7 cents per share, subject to final audited accounts, for all shares on issue at the future relevant Record Date, including new shares issued as part of the Entitlement Offer and Placement

  • • Going forward, BAP intends to maintain its current dividend policy of 60-70% payout ratio • Quadrant Private Equity (BAP's largest individual shareholder) continues to be supportive of BAP's strategy, including the

  • Major Shareholder acquisition of MAH. Quadrant's investment in BAP sits within Quadrant Private Equity Fund No. 3, which is a closed fund, and consequently will renounce its rights in the institutional shortfall bookbuild

Note: (1) On a TERP adjusted basis and calculated using broker consensus forecasts for twelve months ending 30 June 2015 for BAP and MAH audited results for twelve months ending 30 April 2015, excluding transaction costs and earnings from specified acquisition; (2) Assumes MAH completes a specified acquisition and the purchase price is increased by $12 million (comprising $8 million up front and up to $4 million contingent on an earnout) (refer to page 27 for details). If the specified acquisition does not proceed, pro forma net debt/EBITDA of ~1.58x is expected following the acquisition

  • Before amortisation of identifiable acquired intangibles and expensing of transaction costs

  • No revenue and/or cost synergies have been assumed

  • BAP will continue to maintain a conservative capital structure with increased debt facilities from existing lenders

  • Total debt facilities increased to $200 million with approximately $126 million of net debt upon completion of the acquisition[(2)] , which provides headroom of approximately $45 million for future growth initiatives[ (3)]

  • Results in pro forma net debt / LTM EBITDA of approximately 1.75x at Completion[(2)(4)]

  • Increased facilities have a 3 year term and lower margin than existing facilities

Risks

Introduction

There are a number of risks, both specific to BAP and MAH and of a general nature, which may, either individually or in combination, affect the future operational and financial performance of BAP and MAH, the industries in which they operate, and the value of BAP shares. This section describes some, but not all, of the risks associated with an investment in BAP that prospective investors should consider, together with publicly available information (including this Presentation) concerning BAP, before making any investment decisions. In this section, BAP and MAH are sometimes referred to as the "Combined Group" where risk factors affect each of their businesses similarly, in which case, statements regarding the impact of such risks on BAP are made on the assumption that the Acquisition has completed.

Operational Risks

Competition

The Combined Group operates in a competitive market. The Combined Group’s financial performance or operating margins could be adversely affected if the actions of competitors or potential competitors become more effective, or if new competitors enter the market, and the Combined Group is unable to counter these actions.

Customers' Bargaining Power

A significant majority of BAP’s sales is derived from repeat orders from customers. Increased bargaining power from customers arising from consolidation of existing workshops, greater participation of existing workshops in purchasing and buying groups or closure of independent workshops may result in a decrease in prices or loss of customer accounts and subsequently, may adversely affect BAP’s sales and profitability.

Supplier Pressure or Relationship Damage

The Combined Group relies on having access to a wide range of automotive parts. An increase in pricing pressure from suppliers or a damaged relationship with a supplier may cause a rise in the prices at which the Combined Group procures parts or limit the Combined Group’s ability to procure parts. This may impact the demand for products from customers or reduce the margins that the Combined Group generates on its sales.

Business Disruptions

The Combined Group will operate twelve distribution centres, which supply all of the Combined Group’s stores in Australia, and ERP systems, which manage the inventory across all stores and the distribution centres. A disruption in the systems and processes utilised in the Combined Group’s business can affect part availability and result in delays in the delivery of parts to the Combined Group’s customers. Stock-outs and delays in delivery can have the short-term effect of lost orders for the period as well as the longer term consequence of the loss of customer accounts.

Managing Growth

As the Combined Group and its operations expand, the Combined Group will be required to continue to improve, and where appropriate, upscale its operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand, retain, manage and train its employees. There is a risk of a material adverse impact on the Combined Group if it is not able to manage its expansion and growth efficiently and effectively.

34

Risks (cont’d)

Operational Risks

Industry Trends and Customer Decisions

Demand for automotive parts and accessories is affected by a number of industry factors, including the number of vehicles, vehicle age and vehicle usage. An unfavourable trend in these factors may reduce the demand for automotive parts and accessories. In addition, sales of automotive parts and accessories are impacted by the frequency of vehicle servicing and general economic and consumer confidence. Any postponement of servicing or purchasing by vehicle owners, either through delaying the service or opting-out of particular jobs or purchases, is likely to decrease the demand for automotive parts and accessories. Negative movements in demand may reduce the Combined Group’s revenue and profitability.

Supply Chain Management

The Combined Group’s business relies on being able to access a wide variety of SKUs from its suppliers and having the required part available for timely delivery to its stores, outlets and customers when ordered. Any potential delay or default by suppliers in delivering parts and accessories to the Combined Group may adversely impact the Combined Group’s ability to service its customers and marketing network and damage the customer relationship and ultimately impact the Combined Group’s sales.

Termination of Relationship with Capricorn Society

A significant number of independent workshops belong to a co-operative called Capricorn Society that establishes credit and payment terms for its members. BAP is currently an authorised supplier to Capricorn Society’s members. In the event that BAP’s relationship with Capricorn Society is terminated, BAP may experience a decrease in its customer base or and be exposed to the increased credit risk of individual, independent workshops.

Employee Recruitment and Retention

The successful operation of BAP relies on BAP’s ability to attract and retain experienced and high performing employees (including store managers and sales staff) and executives. Failure to achieve this may negatively impact BAP’s sales and adversely affect BAP’s ability to develop and implement its business strategies, resulting in a material increase in the costs of securing experienced and high performing executives.

Loss of Combined Group Key Personnel

BAP is committed to providing a continued attractive employment environment, conditions and prospects to assist in the retention of Combined Group’s key management personnel. However, there can be no assurance that there will be no unintended loss of key staff by the Combined Group either leading up to or following the Acquisition.

Exchange Rate Risk

Fluctuations in the value of currencies may affect the prices at which the Combined Group purchases parts from suppliers and result in volatility in the Combined Group’s profitability if the Combined Group cannot pass price changes on to its customers.

35

Risks (cont’d)

Operational Risks

Property Leases

The Combined Group has a large number of leased premises. The growth prospects of the Combined Group are likely to result from increased contribution from existing stores and the Combined Group’s ability to continue to open and operate new stores on a profitable basis. Accordingly, there may be a material adverse impact on the Combined Group’s business and profitability if the Combined Group is unable to renegotiate acceptable lease terms for existing stores when leases are due to expire and to identify suitable sites and negotiate suitable leasing terms for new stores.

Acquisition Risks

Completion Risk

There is no certainty that the acquisition of MAH will occur. Completion of the acquisition is subject to no material adverse change in MAH or any of its subsidiaries having occurred prior to completion of the acquisition. If completion does not occur due to non-satisfaction of a condition precedent or otherwise, BAP will need to consider alternative uses for, or ways to return the proceeds of, any subscriptions raised from BAP shareholders under the Entitlement Offer. Also, certain transaction costs such as legal and advisory fees will still be payable by BAP.

Equity Financing for Acquisition

BAP has entered into an underwriting agreement with Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited (ABN 55 078 652 276), who has agreed to manage and fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, subject to certain terms and conditions. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the underwriter may terminate the underwriting agreement (see page 42 for a summary of the applicable termination events).

If the underwriting agreement is terminated, BAP will not be able to terminate the share sale agreement for the MAH acquisition. In these circumstances, BAP would need to find alternative funding to meet its obligations under the share sale agreement. There is no guarantee that alternative funding could be sourced, either at all or on satisfactory terms and conditions. Termination of the underwriting agreement could materially adversely affect BAP's business, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

Debt Financing for Acquisition

BAP has entered into a credit approved commitment letter with its existing relationship banks for them to increase the existing credit facilities to support the acquisition of MAH. However, drawdown under this Acquisition Facility is subject to various conditions precedent, including executing a Deed of Amendment that applies to the existing debt facility. All key changes to be made to the existing debt facility have been agreed in the credit approved commitment letters. If this Deed of Amendment is not executed at the time of completion of the acquisition, and if BAP is not able to obtain alternative funding, BAP may have a shortfall in the funding it requires to pay the purchase price for the acquisition of MAH. Such an event could materially adversely affect BAP's business, cash flow and financial condition.

36

Risks (cont’d)

Acquisition Risks

Change of Control

The acquisition of MAH may trigger change of control clauses in some material contracts to which MAH is a party. Where triggered, the change of control clauses will, in most cases, require BAP to seek the counterparty's consent in relation to the acquisition of MAH. There is a risk that a counterparty may not provide their consent to the acquisition, which may trigger a termination right in favour of that counterparty. If any of the material contracts containing a change of control clause are terminated by the counterparty or renegotiated on less favourable terms, it may have an adverse impact on BAP's financial performance and prospects.

Reliance on Information Provided

BAP undertook a due diligence process in respect of MAH, which relied mostly on the review of financial and other information provided by the vendors of MAH. BAP has not been able to verify the accuracy, reliability or completeness of all the information which was provided to it against independent data. Similarly, BAP has prepared (and made assumptions in the preparation of) the financial information relating to MAH included in this Presentation in reliance on limited financial information and other information provided by the vendors of MAH. If any of the data or information provided to and relied upon by BAP in its due diligence process and its preparation of this Presentation proves to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of MAH and the Combined Group may be materially different to the financial position and performance expected by BAP and reflected in this Presentation. Investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect of the acquisition have been identified. Therefore, there is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise, which may also have a material impact on BAP.

Analysis of Acquisition Opportunity

BAP has undertaken financial, business and other analyses of MAH in order to determine its attractiveness to BAP and whether to pursue the acquisition. It is possible that such analysis, and the best estimate assumptions made by BAP, draw conclusions and forecasts that are inaccurate or which will not be realised in due course. To the extent that the actual results achieved by MAH are different than those indicated by BAP’s analysis, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of the Combined Group may be materially different from the profitability and earnings reflected in this Presentation.

Management and Integration Risk

The acquisition involves a material increase in the size of BAP’s business and the integration and management of the MAH business, which has previously operated independently to BAP. As a result, there is a risk that the management, operation and integration of MAH may be more complex than currently anticipated, encounter unexpected challenges or issues and takes longer than expected, diverts management attention or does not deliver the expected benefits and this may affect the Combined Group’s operating and financial performance. Further, the combination of the various brands may reveal greater customer and/or supplier overlap than initially forecast and result in a loss in total customers and/or a loss in suppliers.

37

Risks (cont’d)

Acquisition Risks

Franchisee Risk

MAH relies on its franchisees for the maintenance of its brand, their contribution towards its network footprint and their purchases from MAH’s wholesale business and for franchise fees and associated income. If franchisees decide not to renew their existing contracts or if MAH is not able to find franchisees for new stores to expand its footprint, its financial performance may be adversely affected. Through the acquisition of MAH, BAP is adopting potential franchisee risk that it currently does not have in its business model.

Loss of Existing Customers

Existing customers of BAP and/or MAH may choose to purchase parts and accessories from other suppliers following the acquisition. This may adversely affect BAP’s sales and profitability.

Changing consumer preferences and buying patterns

Part of MAH's marketing network operates in a highly competitive retail market. In such an environment, consumer preferences are dynamic and subject to change with changes in the economy. Customer demand and buying patterns are also difficult to accurately assess in this uncertain and highly competitive retail environment. Misjudgments in demand or changes in customer preferences could result in overstocked or understocked inventory, lower sales growth and/or lower gross margins as a result of markdowns. These outcomes could adversely impact MAH's future financial performance under BAP's ownership.

Marketing Programs Encounter Unforeseen Challenges

Sales by MAH's marketing network and in-turn demand for parts and accessories from its wholesale and distribution business rely in-part on the production and distribution of marketing catalogues multiple times per year. Should there be a disruption in producing and distributing these marketing catalogues or MAH is unable to procure sufficient volume of parts and accessories to meet customer demand as a result of these marketing catalogues and general marketing program, there is likely to be an adverse impact to MAH's future financial performance under BAP's ownership.

Brand names may diminish in reputation and value

Brand names are crucial assets to each of the businesses within the Combined Group and the success of the Combined Group is heavily reliant on its reputation and branding. Unforeseen issues or events which place the Combined Group’s reputation at risk may impact on its future growth and profitability. The reputation and value associated with these brand names could be adversely impacted by a number of factors, including failure to provide customers with the quality of product and service standards they expect, disputes or litigation with third parties such as employees, suppliers or customers, or adverse media coverage.

Reputational damage may potentially result in a fall in customer orders and impinge on the Combined Group’s ability to both maintain relationships with existing customers, and retain or attract key employees. If this were to occur, the Combined Group’s financial performance may be negatively impacted. In particular, significant erosion in the reputation of, or value associated with, the Autobarn, Autopro, Midas, ABS and Burson brand names if the proposed acquisition goes ahead could have an adverse effect on the Combined Group’s future financial performance and financial position.

38

Risks (cont’d)

Acquisition Risks

Historical Liability

If the acquisition of MAH completes, BAP may become directly or indirectly liable for any liabilities that MAH has incurred in the past, which were not identified during its due diligence or which are greater than expected, and for which the market standard protection (in the form of insurance, representations and warranties and indemnities) negotiated by BAP prior to its agreement to acquire MAH turns out to be inadequate in the circumstances. Such liability may adversely affect the financial performance or position of BAP post-acquisition.

Acquisition Accounting

In accounting for the acquisition in the pro forma historical combined balance sheet, BAP has performed a preliminary fair value assessment of all of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of MAH. BAP will undertake a formal fair value assessment of all of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of MAH post-acquisition, which may give rise to a materially different fair value allocation to that used for purposes of the pro forma financial information set out in this Presentation. Such a scenario will result in a reallocation of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired to or from goodwill and also an increase or decrease in depreciation and amortisation charges in the Combined Group’s income statement (and a respective increase or decrease in net profit after tax).

General Risks

Risks associated with investment in equity capital

There are general risks associated with investments in equity capital. The trading price of BAP shares may fluctuate with movements in equity capital markets in Australia and internationally. This may result in the market price for the New Shares being less or more than the Offer Price. Generally applicable factors which may affect the market price of shares include: general movements in Australian and international stock markets; investor sentiment; Australian and international economic conditions and outlook, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation; changes in government regulation and policies; announcement of new technologies; and geo-political instability, including international hostilities and acts of terrorism. No assurances can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the Offer Price. None of BAP, its Board or any other person guarantees the market performance of the New Shares.

Risk of dividends not being paid

The payment of dividends is announced at the time of release of BAP half year and full year results as determined by the Board from time to time at its discretion, dependent on the profitability and cash flow of BAP's businesses. While BAP has a stated dividend policy and current intention to pay a Final Dividend in respect of the period ending 30 June 2015, circumstances may arise where BAP is required to reduce or cease paying dividends for a period of time.

39

Risks (cont’d)

General Risks

Taxation

Future changes in taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in BAP shares or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which the Combined Group operates, may impact the future tax liabilities and performance of BAP.

Change in Laws

Changes in laws, regulations and government policy may adversely affect the operations and financial performance of the Combined Group. For example, there could be changes in the Franchising Code of Conduct in favour of franchisees which could adversely affect certain provisions in franchise agreements or the franchise model operated by the Combined Group.

Further, BAP's and MAH's respective activities and operations are subject to many complex laws and regulations especially in relation to tax and accounting. Determining how their respective activities and operations are to be undertaken in compliance with applicable laws and regulations requires both BAP and MAH to interpret those laws and regulations in the light of any available administrative guidance and this may involve significant judgment, in circumstances where there may be differing but reasonable interpretations available. If any of their respective determinations relating to these matters are subsequently found to be wrong or in error, this could result in material adverse consequences, including reputational and financial, for the Combined Group and BAP's shareholders who were affected by such determination, as could any future changes in laws or regulations.

The impact of future regulatory and legislative change upon the business of the Combined Group cannot be predicted. In addition, if the amount and complexity of new regulation increases, so too may the cost of compliance and the risk of non-compliance.

Litigation

The Combined Group is subject to the usual business risk that disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of its business activities, which may result in the Combined Group incurring additional costs or liabilities.

Insurance

BAP seeks to maintain appropriate policies of insurance consistent with those customarily carried by organisations in its industry sector. Any increase in the cost of such insurance policies could adversely affect BAP's business, financial condition and operational results.

Interest rate fluctuations

BAP has a combination of floating-rate and fixed-rate borrowings. Changes in interest rates will affect borrowings which bear interest at floating rates. Any increase in interest rates will affect Burson’s costs of servicing these borrowings which may adversely affect its financial position.

40

Risks (cont’d)

General Risks

Risks associated with not taking up New Shares under the Entitlement Offer

Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer cannot be traded on ASX or privately transferred. However, New Shares equivalent to the number of New Shares not taken up will be offered for subscription in either the institutional shortfall bookbuild or the retail shortfall bookbuild, as applicable. If you are a shareholder and you do not take up New Shares under the Entitlement Offer, there is no guarantee that any value will be received by you through the bookbuild process.

The ability to sell New Shares under the institutional shortfall bookbuild or the retail shortfall bookbuild and the ability to obtain any premium to the offer price will be dependent upon various factors, including market conditions.

Further, the institutional shortfall bookbuild price and/or the retail shortfall bookbuild price may not be the highest prices available, but will be determined having regard to a number of factors, including having binding and bona fide offers which, in the reasonable opinion of the underwriter will, if accepted, result in otherwise acceptable allocations to clear the entire book. If the institutional shortfall bookbuild realizes a premium to the offer price this is not any guarantee that the retail shortfall bookbuild price will realize the same premium or any premium at all.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BAP, the underwriter and any of their respective related bodies corporate, affiliates, officers, employers or advisers disclaim all liability and will not be liable, including for negligence, for any failure to procure applications for New Shares under the institutional shortfall bookbuild and/or the retail shortfall bookbuild at prices in excess of the offer price.

You should also note that if you do not take up all of your entitlement, then your percentage shareholding in BAP will be diluted by not participating to the full extent in the Entitlement Offer.

Before deciding whether or not to take up New Shares under the Entitlement Offer, you should seek independent tax advice.

Underwriting Agreement

As noted above, BAP has entered into an underwriting agreement ("Underwriting Agreement") with Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited ("Underwriter") who has agreed to manage and fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, subject to certain terms and conditions.

As is customary with these types of arrangements:

  • a) BAP has agreed, subject to certain carve-outs, to indemnify the Underwriter and its affiliates (e.g. related bodies corporate), and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, contractors, agents, advisers and representatives against any losses they may suffer or incur in connection with the Entitlement Offer and the appointment of the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement;

  • b) BAP and the Underwriter have given certain representations, warranties and undertakings in connection with (among other things) the Entitlement Offer;

  • c) the Underwriter may (in certain circumstances) terminate the Underwriting Agreement and be released from its obligations under it on the occurrence of certain events, including (but not limited to) where:

  • i. BAP ceases to be admitted to the official list of ASX, its shares are suspended from trading or cease to be quoted on ASX, or unconditional approval for quotation of New Shares is not given by ASX;

  • ii. there are material disruptions in financial or economic conditions in key markets, or hostilities commence or escalate in certain key countries;

  • iii. a material adverse change occurs (in the opinion of the Underwriter), affecting the general affairs of BAP, the market price of the New Shares or the success, marketing or settlement of the Entitlement Offer;

  • iv. there are certain delays in the timetable for the Entitlement Offer;

  • v. any of the offer documents (including the Retail Offer Booklet and all ASX announcements made by BAP in connection with the Entitlement Offer) omits information required by the Corporations Act, is or becomes misleading or deceptive (including by omission) or likely to mislead or deceive or fails to comply with the Corporations Act or any other applicable law, including where any statement about a future matter expressed in the offer documents is taken to be misleading in accordance with section 769 of the Corporations Act; or

  • vi. BAP withdraws the Entitlement Offer or indicates that it does not intend to proceed with all or part of the Entitlement Offer.

Subject to certain conditions, the Underwriter will be paid:

  • an underwriting fee of 1.85% (excluding GST) and a management and selling fee of 0.50% (excluding GST) of the Institutional Entitlement Offer proceeds; and

  • an underwriting fee of 1.85% (excluding GST) and a management and selling fee of 0.50% (excluding GST) of the Retail Entitlement Offer proceeds.

These fees are for providing the services described above. The Underwriter will also be reimbursed for certain reasonable costs and expenses.
