Strictly confidential | © Macquarie Group Limited 2 Executive Summary At A$0.80/share, Sterling’s offer increases Keypath’s valuation to ~0.5x revenue multiple, double Keypath’s current revenue multiple in the market today, and comparable to recent transactions in the OPM space. Despite the volatility of the stock price in the last couple of weeks, the offer is comparable and competitive to median premiums of recent Australian take - privates. This offer provides the best opportunity for immediate and guaranteed liquidity to Keypath shareholders, who would otherwise require substantial time to realize liquidity when assuming customary investment protocol. Recent transactions involving OPMs indicate that Sterling’s offer for Keypath is a significant premium to its intrinsic value. Certain of those transactions involved profitable companies, and as Keypath is not yet profitable or cash flow positive, it should be valued substantially less. Additionally, recent transactions for profitable OPMs have required creative structuring and discounts due to industry headwinds and uncertain regulatory environment. Despite company performance, Keypath continues to trade at a significant discount to market comps, signalling a disconnect with public investors primarily driven by low trading volume, lack of liquidity and overall investor sentiment towards companies that are not meaningfully profitable. It is likely that investor sentiment will continue to persist for the foreseeable future. Although there has not been any direct OPM take - private comparables in recent years, Sterling’s offer price implies a premium comparable to recent transactions in the Australian technology sector, which typically trade at higher premiums than other industries.

 

 

Keypath proposed offer price At A$0.80 stock price offer, Sterling provides the best liquidity option for shareholders of Keypath, providing a significantly higher valuation than the current public market value and in - line with recent comparable transactions in the space LTM total trading volume (TDV) by share price range In the last 12 months, ~75% of the traded volume has been at or below today’s (3/20/24) closing stock price of A$0.52. At the A$0.80 offer from Sterling, these shareholders would receive a minimum of 54% premium with the majority receiving more than 100% premium to their purchase price. For comparison, on 3/19/2024, Avada Group, a micro cap stock on the ASX, announced a substantial sale of shares at a 19% premium to the 6 - month VWAP and ~30% premium to last close. The Company has a $42M market cap and $16M of Adj. EBITDA. Regal Funds Management, a current Keypath material holder, sold their ~15% stake in this transaction. The selling price is significantly lower than Sterling’s offer of 70%+ and 50%+ premium to the 6 - month VWAP and last close, respectively. Sterling’s offer presents the most attractive exit option for Keypath shareholders.
