BENEFITS TO BUSINESS OWNERS
Non-Voting Preferred Equity
Long-Term Capital Partner
Tax Efficient

businesses with minimal interference by Alaris

This allows the entrepreneur to focus on long-term goals rather
than short-term goals of its equity sponsor
✓ The distributions paid to Alaris are essentially pre-tax as they
lower the taxable income of remaining partners
✓ Alaris reduces its participation in the growth of the business
through the use of collars on its distribution and by basing the
performance metric on the organic change in the business
versus total growth

EQUITAINERS CO
ALARIS' IDEAL PARTNER CRITERIA
Old Economy Business
Required services or products in mature industries
✓ Businesses with a risk of obsolescence or a declining asset base
are not a good fit
Track Record of Free Cash
Flow
Low Levels of Debt and
Capital Expenditure
Requirements
Management Continuity
Alaris looks at historical free cash flow to predict sustainability of its
distribution
More free cash flow is required if a business displays more volatility
of cash flows
✓ Debt levels can vary amongst our Partners depending on industry,
but typically a business must have low levels of debt in its capital
structure
✓ If a business requires excessive capital expenditures to maintain
current cash flow it is likely not a candidate for Alaris
✓ Alaris does not manage the business of its Partners, therefore it
relies on the ownership group/management team to continue to run
the business
✓ Alaris invests in companies that are "not for sale", where
management wants to stay in and grow instead of exiting
