1) sizing is a tad small, expected $100m (25% debt financed). Though they hinted that there may be another deal post credit line after this one and their conference call deck confirms this
2) implied cash yield is above expectations. We expected 12% implied cash yield on the deal, this one seems to be clocking in at ~15%
3) Recognizable brand is excellent. Only negative is BMO will need to renew its airmiles deal next year to maintain proforma outlook..
Conference call on this is at 3pm Pacifric. Will probably get more color there.
If the deal produces the promised 8.5M, you can bet the contigent consideration will be payable.
8.5/67.5 = 12.5%
I like that the deal has performance based variable consideration to add insurance.
I think smaller deals are preferable to bigger ones, the name is diverisified royalty after all.
