Introduction

 

 

A special committee of The Board of Directors of GTC Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“GTC”) engaged Caymus Partners LLC (“Caymus Partners”) as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with a potential transaction whereby GTC would be taken private by LFB Biotechnologies, S.A.S.U. (“LFB”)

 

 

GTC Biotherapeutics is a Massachusetts-based biotechnology company that develops, supplies, and commercializes therapeutic proteins produced through transgenic technology.

 

   

Transgenic technology entails producing human therapeutic proteins in the milk of transgenic animals. Transgenic animals carry genetic information that allows them to express human therapeutic proteins in their milk. Once produced, these recombinant proteins can be efficiently purified from the animal’s milk to meet exacting FDA standards.

 

 

LFB Biotechnologies engages in the research and development of monoclonal antibodies and is based in Courtaboeuf, France.

 

 

As outlined in its offer letter submitted on October 15, 2010, LFB will purchase an additional 61 million shares of newly issued GTC common stock at $0.28 per share which will give LFB a 90% ownership stake.

 

   

Following the private placement, LFB would effect a statutory short-form merger in accordance with Massachusetts law cashing out all remaining minority shareholders for $0.28 per share.

GTC Biotherapuetics and LFB Biotechnologies

 

 

Since 2006, LFB has continually invested common equity, preferred equity and convertible debt in GTC and now owns approximately 83% of GTC on an “as converted” basis. LFB is currently the sole source of funding for GTC’s research and development costs

 

 

Without continued funding from LFB, GTC would have insufficient capital for its various drug development projects and would be unable to continue operations

 

 

During February and March 2010, GTC attempted to obtain external financing with the help of its financial advisor, Lazard. The capital raise ended unsuccessfully despite extensive efforts in reaching out to more than 25 potential financial sponsors

 

 

Because GTC no longer derives any benefits from its public status, LFB has now tendered an offer to take GTC private. The proposed transaction will result in substantial savings for GTC by removing the various legal and administrative costs associated with remaining public

September 2006    LFB enters Joint Development and Commercialization Agreement with GTC, providing for a strategic collaboration to develop selected recombinant plasma proteins and monoclonal antibodies using GTC’s transgenic production platform. In connection with the agreement, LFB entered into a Stock and Note Purchase Agreement with GTC consisting of 14,615 shares of convertible preferred stock, 363,000 shares of Common Stock, subordinated convertible notes for an aggregate total of $25.0 million.

December 2006    Completion of the second and third tranches was subject to GTC’s receipt of shareholder approval. The required shareholder approval was obtained on December 5, 2006. The second tranche consisted of LFB’s purchase of an additional 9,615 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock and the Convertible Note for an aggregate purchase price of $14,385,100 and was completed on December 14, 2006.

October 2008    LFB entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with GTC to purchase for $15,000,000 a secured convertible note and a warrant to purchase up to 2,319,354 shares of Common Stock. The transaction was consummated on December 22, 2008.

October 2009    LFB elected to convert all 12,000 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and 13,750 shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock that it had purchased on July 31, 2009 into an aggregate of 10,598,144 shares of Common Stock.

November 2009    LFB entered into a stock purchase agreement with GTC in which GTC agreed to issue and sell 3,387,851 shares of Common Stock to LFB
January 2010    LFB elected to convert all 6,000 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and 6,750 shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock that it had purchased on November 3, 2009 into an aggregate of 5,299,071 shares of Common Stock.
June 2010    LFB entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with GTC to purchase a secured convertible note in the principal amount of $7,000,000. The transaction was consummated on June 15, 2010. The 2010 secured convertible note matures on June 15, 2013
September 2010    On September 13, 2010, LFB sent a letter to the independent members of GTC’s board of directors seeking to initiate discussions with respect to a potential going private transaction to cash out the Company’s minority stockholders.
October 2010    On October 15, 2010, LFB sent an official Offer Letter to the independent members of GTC’s board of directors indicating that LFB’s board of directors had approved LFB making an offer to take GTC private. Such a transaction is proposed to be structured as a purchase by LFB of approximately 61,000,000 shares of Common Stock in a private placement transaction such that LFB would own at least 90% of the outstanding Common Stock. Following the private placement, LFB would effect a statutory short-form merger in accordance with Massachusetts law cashing out all minority shareholders for $0.28 per share.

This is equivalent to $2.4 million in total purchase price premium over GTC’s current trading price

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities have continuously decreased over the last 4 years from $43.4 million in December 2006 to $2.7 million in September 2010

 

 

GTC holds a significant amount of long-term debt from LFB. Total long-term liabilities has increased from $9.7 million in December 2005 to $33.2 million in September 2010

 

 

LBF has amended the original terms on it’s various debt agreements with GTC to more favorable terms for GTC, resulting in reduced interest rates and lower accrued interest

 

   

These considerations from LFB have allowed GTC to continue operations, since the company would be insolvent if the original terms of the debt agreements were enforced

 

   

Under the original contracts, LFB has total principal payments of $16.4 million due in 2012

 

 

Year over year losses have caused shareholder’s deficit to reach $23.8 million in September 2010

GTC continues to project negative net income and cash flow in the near future and does not expect positive revenue until 2015

 

 

A traditional discounted cash flow analysis is used to measure the net present value of a company’s future stream of earnings. This method cannot be accurately applied to GTC due to the fact that GTC’s first year of positive projected cash flow begins in 2015 and is entirely dependent on LFB’s continued funding

 

 

Additionally, there is significant speculation involved in estimating the likelihood of future revenues being realized

 

   

The probability of success and commercial value for GTC’s FVIIa project is highly uncertain

 

 

LFB and GTC are currently engaged in a collaboration agreement to develop multiple recombinant proteins. Under this contract, profit allocation will be adjusted based on the development costs incurred. Because LFB is currently bearing the majority of research and development costs of these projects, LFB will be entitled to the majority of future potential profits received

Due to the unique nature of the biotech industry, company valuation may not be accurately reflected in historical revenue and EBITDA multiples or similar metrics.

 

 

The multiples of Enterprise Value to Revenue and EBITDA are largely not meaningful due to:

 

   

A) Significant variation within the sample for the EV / LTM Revenue multiple

 

   

B) Negative EBITDA for the majority of biotechnology companies listed

Summary

 

 

The Board of Directors engaged Caymus Partners as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with a potential Transaction

 

 

Caymus Partners undertook a study and analysis of the business, operations, financial condition and prospects of GTC

 

 

Caymus Partners met with the management of GTC to discuss the transaction and due diligence questions as well as to review financial and other pertinent information

 

 

Given GTC’s complete reliance on LFB for the continued ability to operate, Caymus believes the proposed transaction is fair to GTC’s remaining shareholders
