391 closing manager interview questions shared by candidates

1. Please comment on the valuation of the company. Answer: 12.06x EBITDA, talk about it. 2. Please outline challenges and key work streams between signing and closing the deal. Answer: Key challenges would be the operational, financial, legal DD, set up SPVs and securing both the debt and equity (key players being the bank, and PG funds that are providing the equity). Key work streams would be corp sec activities (setting up SPVs and KYC/AML documentation) and coordinating with debt/equity teams or internal finance to have the financing in place as soon as possible. 3. How long do you expect before the deal is actually funded and closed after Partners Group officially won and signed the acquisition? Explain how you arrived at this estimate. SPA is already drafted in execution version, so no delay there assuming there are no significant changes to the overall deal structure. Assuming the SPVs and DD is already completed, and indicative financing is in place, then relatively quickly (1-2 weeks). Appears debt financing is not in place as there is a Financing Failure Event outlined in the contract. Given SPA is already drafted, and no advanced DD required, same timeline as above. Assuming DD has not yet been conducted then potentially 2-3 months while financial, accounting/balance sheet, investments, facilities/environment, licenses, operations, legal DD is conducted. 4. Two days before the expected funding and closing of the deal, you received news that the money wired by Partners Group Highland was "stuck" in a US bank account pending additional KYC verification. You called the bank and was told that the officer handling the account with the necessary documents is currently on sabbatical and could not be reached. How would you handle this situation? Answer: Escalate as fast as possible. Then, use OTHER PG products to provide bridge loan. 5. Slides 4 and 5 will show you sections of our Funds Flow document. Using information derived from the Deal Background slide and the Appendix, fill in the yellow cells with the correct USD amounts. Answers slide 4: EV: 1,085,000,000 Adjusted Purchase Price: 1,076,500,000 Debt: 556,900,000 Equity: 556,900,000 Total sources: 1,113,800,000 Total uses: 1,113,800,000 Slide 5 answers change but it's easy to solve.
