Strategic Rationale and Synergies

 

Strategic Rationale

 

                  Broad product portfolio servicing “hot” and “cold” segments

 

                  Complementary group of industry leading brands

 

                  Enhanced international franchise

 

                  Upside through operational and marketing efficiencies

 

                  Attractive shareholder value creation opportunities

 

Synergies

 

                  Based on previous experiences we would contemplate that potential synergies could be in the range of $50 million to as high as $70 million(18)

 

                  Quantification and verification are subject to discussions with Enodis

 

                  Integration of complementary international organizations

 

                  Consolidation of manufacturing facilities

 

                  Material cost reduction through improvement in sourcing and supply chain management

 

                  Sales, service and distribution synergies

 

                  Cross-selling opportunities with complementary customer base

 

Upside generated through operational and marketing efficiencies

 


(18)

 

The range represents approximately 4% to 6% of Enodis’ FY2005 revenue of $1.2 billion, which is consistent with our experience on our acquisition of Blodgett Corporation completed in December 2001, our knowledge of Enodis and its operations and other publicly disclosed synergies realized in comparable foodservice equipment industry transactions. This is a preliminary estimate and is subject to due diligence, which we have requested from Enodis.

Long-term Opportunities for the Combination

 

                  Global Infrastructure Cost Efficiencies

                  Opportunity to control rising global infrastructure costs

 

                  Rationalization of Low-margin Products

                  Improve margins by focusing on new technologically-advanced products

 

                  Enhanced R&D Capabilities

                  Enhanced R&D capabilities to respond to growing challenge from products based on new cooking platforms (accelerated cooking times, combi technologies, cook-and-hold, etc.)

 

                  Improved Service Organization

                  Increased financial scale to invest in a superior service infrastructure to meet the challenge of industry players with their own service models

 

                  Competition in Cold-side Products

                  Enhanced ability to respond to refrigeration products from large companies such as UTX and Electrolux, and from smaller start-ups in Italy and Korea.  The management of Middleby has shown itself capable of successfully competing with larger companies and smaller start-ups on the hot-side by offering well-priced innovative products

 

                  Opportunity to Enter New Segments and Underserved Markets

                  Combined business will be better positioned to target non-traditional outlets and managed services providers

                  Creates broader product offering necessary to offer a full package to breakfast and bakery cafes - currently underserved by both companies
