Hypothetical impact of selected provisions in proposed tax legislation
Illustrative assumptions as of November 2017
Osprey's Board of Directors has requested a hypothetical sensitivity of Osprey management's September 2017
standalone financial forecast taking into consideration, for illustrative purposes, the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" legislation
proposed by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and the following selected
assumptions:
Announced transaction with First Eagle and GSO is terminated and operating covenants Osprey agreed to in connection with such
transaction have not affected Osprey management's ability to execute on and achieve Osprey's September 2017 standalone
financial forecast
- No change in market environment impacting Osprey operations (e.g., origination volume, net interest margin, etc.)
■ $15 million termination fee and $5 million estimated legal and financial advisor fees expensed in 2018 and deductible for GAAP
and tax purposes (¹)
■ Marginal corporate tax rate reduction: 35% federal tax rate reduced to 20% beginning in 2018
- Implied Osprey marginal corporate tax rate reduced from -41% to -30%, per Osprey management
- Portion of Osprey existing net deferred tax assets of -$32 million written off by -$11 million, per Osprey management
■ 50% dividend payout ratio on any incremental net earnings (due to restrictions from builders basket on high-yield notes), per
Osprey management
Osprey management September 2017 standalone forecast of $0.02 dividend per share represents approximately 11%, 10%
and 7% payout ratio in 2018E, 2019E and 2020E, respectively
