The attached, which I sent last week, is a good summar= of the situation. From today's meeting: -deal in hand for the sale of the Intl operation in =ingapore for net proceeds of $108.2mil was announced at the meeting. Also =UE has a signed term sheet, with a exclusivity period only until Dec=8th, for the sale of the Canadian Intl School which would net $248mi1. Combined $357mi1 net proceeds after d=bt repayment is a bit below guidance I had been given of $400mi1 and a bit=will be held back in an escrow account. Guidance was for a late Dec or Jan=distribution of proceeds which would be roughly $5mil to us. -Propco — mindset toward monetizing but =ounded like there is no firm shape for a deal yet i.e. whether they will 5=11 to a REIT or form a new RE company and lever. Property portfolio is a b=t of flux reflecting disposition of centers closed by Opco over the past several years. KUE would like LPs to have opt=on of two ways out — cash or equity in survivor. As I indicated in the note, for extension to Oct 201=, Intl and Propco must be monetized by Oct 2015. -Opco — core early childhood care centers &nbs=;are growing again — EBITDA est for 2014 is $118mil, up =rom $89mil in 2013. Plan shows goal of $142mi1 in 2015 and $162mil in 2016= Co suggested valuation at 10x EV/EBITDA seems appropriate given fact that public comp, Bright Horizons, trades at 15x EV/EBITDA but =s supported by 14% ebitda margin compared to Opco at 9.3% currently and fu=ure forecast of 10%.
