Goldman Sachs used internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company prepared by ResCare management and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the Special Committee (the "Forecasts"), covering the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal years 2011 through 2015. The Forecasts supported the DCF, the present value of future share price analysis (forward earnings for 2011-2015) and both leveraged buyout analyses. Specific revenue and EBITDA figures were not disclosed in the sliced sections, other than implied CY2010E EBITDA and EPS multiples (5.8x EV/EBITDA, 11.9x 2010E P/E and 11.0x 2011E P/E at the offer price).

Process notes

Going-private transaction by ResCare's existing ~24.9% voting / 87.5% (as-converted) holder, Onex. A Special Committee of independent directors retained Goldman Sachs, which delivered the only fairness opinion, addressed to the Special Committee. Onex held a preexisting right of first refusal as holder of the preferred shares, which was waived in certain circumstances as part of negotiations, and Onex agreed under a Voting Agreement to support a superior all-cash proposal. 40-day go-shop expired October 16, 2010; Company A declined to bid (Oct 18) and Company B, which had floated up to $14.25 per share, withdrew on September 27 after reworking its assumptions. Certain management holders rolled over shares into Purchaser equity. Goldman Sachs disclosed extensive prior investment banking relationships with Onex portfolio companies.
