Wavell’s current sales were $7,000,000 with EBIT of $650,000 and net income of
$400,000. Negotiations between Wavell management and EP settled on a purchase price
of $2000000 (representing a P/E ratio of 5). Because of the high replacement cost of
Wavell’s assets, its strong cash flow and its relatively unencumbered balance sheet,
Wavell was able to take on a large amount of debt. Banks supplied $1,200,000 of senior
debt at an interest rate of 13%; this debt was secured by the finished goods inventory and
by net property, plant and equipment and was to be amortised over a five year period. An
insurance company loan of $600000 was also arranged in the form of subordinated debt,
at an interest rate of 16% likewise to be amortised over a five-year period. The insurance
company also took an equity position worth $100000; Wavell was expected to repurchase
this equity interest after five years for an amount which would provide the insurance
company with a 40% annual yield. Finally, the Wavell management team put up
$100000 as their own equity position.
