CAPSTM Core Principles
Long-Term Orientation:

Focused on long-term share price performance and the interests of long-term common shareholders.

Partnership Model:

Focused on working with high quality existing owners and management teams who are not in need of operational improvements and have a desire to work together as partners.

Minimizing Dilution Costs:

Focused on minimizing dilution costs traditionally associated with special purpose acquisition companies, which can negatively impact the returns to long-term common shareholders and is cost prohibitive to many high quality companies who like the process of going public through a special purpose acquisition company but not the cost.

Economic Alignment From the Outset:

Focused on aligning economic interests at the time of the initial public offering, in order to facilitate an easier and more comfortable dialogue with a high-quality company, the management team and its existing owners.

Sustainable Value Creation:

Focused on share price appreciation which is measured over a long period of time and reflective of actual and sustainable value creation, as opposed to short-term trading price movements or a single price point.

Optimizing Banker Selection on an Independent Basis:

Focused on working with management and existing owners, on an independent basis, to optimize for the right banking team at the time of the partnering transaction as opposed to at the time of the initial public offering and avoiding potentially duplicative banker transaction costs, which are dilutive to long-term common shareholders, and potential conflicts.

Continued Ownership:

Focused on partnering with an existing owner who may want to continue ownership in a high quality asset but needs to provide liquidity to existing shareholders and/or limited partners. CAPS™ provides an ability to transition ownership to the public market, which is deeper and more liquid than the private market, in a disciplined fashion and for existing owners to share in the future upside potential over the long term.
