The contract is being put out to RFP but management has a high degree of confidencethat Pioneer will win the business and it is expected to be sole-sourced While Pioneer was not a finalist for Opportunity1's 7-year MSA contract, Management has indicated that Pioneer plans to bid for smaller projects with potentially higher margins. Therefore the profitability impact of this lost contract may be limited; additionally, the lost MSA business had ~$15 million of associated ca pex included in the model provided on April 9th Source: Monogement views and forecasts from Pionoor Monogamant; CSC views from CourtSquare Presentation dated July 2, 2014.

Management's current estimate is $196.2 million and includes Storm AR of $4.5 million which will be collected early in Q1 2015 Debt-like items that CSC appeared to include are: RSI-related deferred compensation liability, which is disclosed in the Pioneer 2013 Form 10-K and has a total obligation with net present value of $5.3 million at April 27. This does not appear to be a valid adjustment given the disclosure and the fact that only $2.1 million out of the $6.6 million is due before 2018 CSC did not provide any visibility into the other PELLC adjustment of $0.8 million in their presentation and Management would need further information from CSC to respond appropriately Unfunded liability from multi-employer pension, which Pioneer management and labor attorneys engaged by Pioneer view to be no liability. CSC has included a $5 million adjustment. Management indicated that any obligation would only be triggered in the unlikely event that Pioneer exited the union pension plan and reenters the market in a non-union capacity. Additionally the obligation would only be triggered if Pioneer was in the plan for a minimum of 8 years, which has not occurred Source: Management views and forecasts from Pioneer Management; CSC views from Court Square Presentation dated July 2, 2014.
