III. Analysis of the reasonableness of the Share Exchange Ratio
- (1)Description of the valuation approach
In general practice, the valuation method of equity value is usually estimated by
- 28 -
means of asset approach, market approach and income approach.
-
1.The asset approach valuates the total value of individual assets and individual liabilities covered by the object to reflect the overall value of the enterprise or business. The asset approach estimates the consideration required to reconstitute or obtain the valuated object on the premise of continuing operations. When the valuation is using the asset approach, it shall be based on the balance sheet of the valuated object, and consider the off-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet liabilities to evaluate the overall value of the enterprise or business.
-
2.The market approach is based on the transaction price of the comparable benchmarked company, considering the difference between the valuated object and the comparable benchmark to estimate the value of the valuated object with an appropriate multiplier. Specific methods of common valuation for the market approach include:
-
A.Comparable listing or OTC company approach: Reference to the enterprise engaging the same or similar business, the transaction price of the stock thereof in the active market, the value multiplier implied by such price and related transaction information to determine the value of the valuation objects. This valuation-specific approach is generally applicable to the valuation of an enterprise or business.
-
B. Comparable Transaction Approach: Reference is made to the transaction price of the same or similar assets, the value multiplier implied by such prices and related transaction information to determine the value of the valuation underlying objects. This valuation-specific approach is generally applicable to the valuation of an enterprise, business, individual asset, or individual liability.
-
3.The income approach means that the future interest flow generated by the valuation object (taking into account the elements in which the target company is located, such as economic and industrial environment, historical business performance, future growth rate, market risk, capital structure and taxation, etc.), through capitalization or discounting process, the future interest flow is converted into the value of the valuation object.
-
(2)The selection description for valuation approach
Due to the consideration that the valuated company did not provide financial forecast, then the consideration that the income method involves more hypothesis of future cash flow creating highly uncertainty, the future income and future earnings period cannot be reasonably predicted, the discount rate and the risk level of the income cannot be reasonably estimated, so that it is not easy to assess the optimal value of shareholders' equity. Therefore, this opinion does not adopt the income approach. The asset method is usually applied to the liquidation of enterprise or to the accounting treatment of a business merger. Such a method is to reassess the fair value of each item of assets and liabilities and the difference between the assets and liabilities is the value of the shareholders' equity. The nature of the matter is also not suitable for the asset approach. To summarize, this opinion is proposed to refer to the theoretical value per share calculated based on the net value of the acquiring company - Global PMX and the acquired company - Sixxon Precoision, and the market method, such as the P/E ratio method and the net equity ratio method and the
- 29 -
transaction value per share estimated from the transaction of new issued shares of Global PMX for the acquisition of Sixxon Precoision, and comprehensively assesses the reasonable price of the merger consideration.
(3) The selection of the same-sector companies
The main business items of Sixxon Precoision is the research and development and production and sales of precision metal parts, such as auto parts gearbox torque converters, heavy-duty locomotives and bicycle shock absorbers, high-end parts, 3C products, industrial equipment, medical devices parts, etc. After comprehensively judging the elements, such as the nature of business, product application and location of the factory, etc., the OTC company - TURVO INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD., (stock code 2233, hereinafter referred to as TURVO) and the listed companyGlobal Tek group (stock code 4566, hereinafter referred to as GLOBALTEK) are identified due to the similarity, so the aforesaid two companies are the same-sector companies to be compared.
| Company Name |
Production Base |
Main products and the sales proportion |
|---|---|---|
| Sixxon Precoision (Not Listed, Not OTC) |
Yangmei, Taiwan |
Automotive (61%), heavy locomotives and bicycles (20%), industrial applications (15%), consumer electronics and others(4%) |
| TURVO (OTC) |
Taichung, Taiwan C Dongguan, China Jiashan,China, and Thailand |
Automotive (74%), industrial applications (9%), medical cancer (9%), bicycles and others (8%) |
| GLOBALTEK (Listed) |
Xinu, Taiwan Wuxi, China Xian, China |
Automotive safety system (24%), fuel transmission system (39%), industrial applications (25%), aerospace applications(12%) |
Note 1: The product classification data of 2018 provided by Sixxon Precision. Note 2: Data extracted from the investor conference of TURVO dated on December 13, 2018.
Note 3: Data extracted from the investor conference of GLOBALTEX dated on April 22, 2019.
- (4) Analysis of each valuation approach
The valuation method mainly relies on the relative market price of Global PMX and Sixxon Precision to determine the share consideration for the share acquisition (transfer). The market price of Global PMX is planned to be the average closing price of the 30 business days before September 18, 2019. However, considering that Sixxon Precision is currently not a public company, there is no publicly traded market price for reference. Therefore, the P/E multiple method and the P/B multiple method are separately proposed to calculate the market price of Sixxon Precision, and give the different weights and consider the factors such as liquidity discount and control premium, etc. and then evaluate the reasonableness for the shares consideration of share acquisition (transfer).

As Sixxon Precision is not a listed company listed on the stock market or OTC market, the liquidity discounts due to low liquidity shall be considered. In consideration of the Article 4 of the “Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities” of the Republic of China, for an exchange-listed, OTC-listed, or emerging stock company, the price per share through the private placement of common shares shall be limited to the eighty percent (80%) of the reference price. Therefore, the current liquidity discount is calculated at a discount of 20%. In addition, this Global PMX acquires the equity interest in Sixxon Precision, which is 100% owned by Cayman Sixxon, so that the control premium shall be considered at the same time. The average premium of M&A premiums in the emerging Asia Pacific region in 2019 by Bloomberg Information System at 14.12% is referred so that the premium for the Company acquiring the operation was 14.12%. To summarize, the two factors are adopted to calculate the reasonable range. After the adjustment, the reasonable value range of Sixxon Precision is NTD 102.5 to NTD 146.2.
