Methodology Overview
Discounted Cash
Flow Analysis
Gleacher has performed a number of analyses to assess the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Cox
Radio Shareholders of the consideration to be paid under the terms of the proposed Acquisition.
(1)
(1) 
Gleacher notes that the preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description.  The analyses must            
be considered as a whole and selecting portions of Gleacher’s analyses, without considering all analyses, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

projections provided to Gleacher by Cox Radio management
An analysis of the future cash flows of Cox Radio based on projections provided by Cox Radio’s management
and the potential impact of those future cash flows on Cox Radio’s financial debt covenants

Source: Company filings. Criteria includes US-based targets in minority transaction deals (tender offers and mergers) since 01/01/04. Consideration paid in all cash. Also
excludes deals whereby a third party acquires a majority shareholding from a current majority shareholder that triggers an immediate tender offer for the minority shares.
Excludes the acquisition of Eon Labs by Novartis and the acquisition of Genencor by Danisco due to a third party acquiring a significant stake prior to launching a tender offer.
Responses marked “NA” when the Special Committee was not formed or has recently been formed and hence no response was or has been given.
 
Figures represent initial offer to prior 1-day and 4-week closing prices. Included for comparative purposes. 
 
All of the Erie Family Life Insurance Directors were deemed non-independent and hence no Special Committee was formed.
 
Boston Scientific exercised its option to acquire 50% of the outstanding stock from company management which triggered a mandatory offer for the remaining shares.
 
The Johnson Outdoors tender offer required the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Class A votes not held by members of the Johnson Family.

Due to the highly leveraged capital structure of the peer group, the unlevered asset Betas are near zero and thus not relevant for this WACC analysis. Bloomberg’s calculation
of Cox Radio’s raw equity beta is 0.832.  Bond & Pecaro’s “Fair Market Valuation of Cox Radio, Inc. As Of December 31, 2008” uses an unlevered asset beta of 1.23.
