Benefits
Considerations
Finance Entirely at Charlie
Protects other Papa asset
◆ Ties incremental indebtedness directly to
investment
Established public registrant and will
remain so unless Charlie public debt
refinanced
• Papa can contribute capital (from
additional Papa borrowings and Papa
asset sales as equity) as desired
Systems already in place for reporting
requirements and investor relations
◆ Less cash flow than at combined entity
Current leverage levels appear to push
Charlie into high yield on a purely
quantitative basis
Finance Entirely at Papa
Stronger credit profile at pro forma entity
◆ High free cash flow from non-Charlie can
be used to reduce overall indebtedness
Diversity of assets and cash flow will be
viewed favorably by capital providers and
credit agencies
◆ Free cash flow from Charlie can be used
for other corporate purposes
All Papa assets will be encumbered with
additional indebtedness
◆ Pro forma leverage levels appear to
move Papa to a strong high yield credit
◆ Likely to need access to public capital
markets to ensure adequate funding
◆ In most, if not all cases, likely to require
additional disclosure
Raising $10 billion of capital at Papa
likely to required increased contact with
debt investors by Papa management
Best alternative combines financing at both Papa and Charlie
