What is an IPO process?
A 1-2 months of pre-IPO preparation, followed by…
… 4-6 month exercise
Pricing date known from the first day — moral commitment by all parties to stick to it
Large working group: discipline, accountability and information flows are key
Private/confidential phase followed by public phase
3-4 “go/no go” points

Internal organisation needs to be prepared for the IPO
An IPO is a demanding process
Senior management needs to find the right balance between the necessary running of operations and the involvement in a critical event in the life of the company
Two steps can be taken to make the process smoother
Designate a “project leader” for the IPO is recommended
— “Buffer” between bankers/lawyers/accountants and senior management
— Consistency in action and messages all along the process
Hire/designate, early on, before the IPO process starts, an Investor Relations Officer
— IPO preparation good training for life as a listed company
— Typical profile: internal recruit with good vision of company and proficiency in English, or external hire (e.g. experienced research analyst)

IPO candidates are usually valued using Discounted Cash Flow analysis and/or Market multiples
Methodology Comment
Discounted cash flow
Net present value of forecasted cashflows
Allows to capture 100% of management forecasts
— Highly sensitive to discount rate and terminal value
— Absolute valuation independent from stock market prices
A
Market multiples
Multiple derived from ratio of each peer's valuation over selected accounting figures; multiple then applied to IPO candidate’s accounting figure to derive valuation
Simple and easy to calculate
Utilised by all equity investors
— Lack of exact comparables may be an issue
— Focus on near future (08, 09)

In order to enhance shareholder visibility on valuation, company could use “pilot fishing”
Description
Preliminary meetings organised by the Bookrunners with selected lead investors to gather feedback on company equity story and valuation
Meetings organised early in the IPO process (before or around analyst presentation subject to company’s preparedness)
Meetings organised in a discrete manner, no market publicity
Target key accounts with superior understanding of the sector and company comparables
Process used in recent IPOs
Objectives
Test company positioning with investors and their potential interest/appetite for the story
Test valuation methodologies/trading multiples that will be used by investors to value company
Provide additional insight to company and its shareholders on feasibility of IPO
Risks
Partial investor feedback only, likely to evolve throughout the process
D E U T S C H E S E I G E N K A P I T A L F O R U M
IPO pricing considerations (1/3) : discount to fair value
Fair trading multiple is obtained and reflected in valuations
At execution, institutional investors seek to purchase shares at discount to projected trading value
Size of additional “IPO discount” required to attract investors into a transaction is subject to several factors and can vary significantly from deal to deal. Key variables are:
Gauging range of IPO discount is possible by calculating difference between offer price and valuation (through DCF or other)
Historically, the “IPO discount” has been in the 5-15% range to the benchmark fair, trading value
Impossible to accurately determine the IPO discount until pre-marketing and bookbuilding phases commence, i.e. when the valuation is tested with investors for the first time

IPO pricing considerations (2/3) – determining the range
Investors will require an “IPO discount” to the fully distributed valuation range:
Width of IPO pricing range is usually around 15%
Guidelines on setting IPO pricing range:
Set the bottom of the range in order to
— Engage the bulk of investors in the process
— Act as a catalyst for deal momentum to move investors up the price range
— Accommodate the possibility of market volatility during the roadshow period
Set the top of the range in order to
— Reflect estimated maximum pricing level

The credit spreads are at 2-3x recession peak levels, and equities have fallen by half the average recession penalty
A significant and prolonged equity market rebound is not likely in the short term
In the secondary market, investors are currently favouring stock with the following characteristics
Current consensus seems to be for economic rebound around summer 2009 (in the US)
A rebound in equity markets could take place a couple of months before (end Q2 2009) but this is subject to a prior resolution of the financial crisis and macroeconomic developments

The profile of equity issuance has changed dramatically, reflecting the current crisis
CommentsComments
The equity issuance market has experienced considerable disruptions (e.g. only two Equity-linked transactions were placed in EMEA since beginning of August)
2008YTD ECM volume has been driven by large rights issues, particularly by financial institutions in order to strengthen the capital base
Considerable investor liquidity shifted to defensive asset classes and heavy redemptions is underway
IPO market not likely to re-open before the end of H1 and for solid equity stories only
