Weexpectthistobeattractivetolong-only investors inparticular. This new capital structure can also make [Gemini] equity more attractive for transactions Conversion is something the Sands family has been considering for quite some time and reinforces confidence in CEO Bill Newlands (first non-family CEO) We believe this is a positive catalyst for stock as it removes a key overhang. If approved by the companys Board, the potential transaction could attract additional investor interest in the stock from those who prefer single-class structures, as well as increase investor comfort in [Geminis] capital allocation plan Weviewthismoveaspositiveas1/ investors prefer companies with a single-class stock structure to have more control on the company decisions, 2/ this should improve governance, which has been an issue in our view Investors we have spoken with generally agree that Sands Family voting control, through ownership of Class B shares, has long been a difficult to quantify overhang on [Geminis] multiple We think shareholders will ultimately welcome the proposal, as it better aligns [Geminis] corporate governance to better reflect the economic vs. voting power in exchange for ~4% EPS dilution and could also lead to a more independent board and better capital allocation in the future We believe investors would react favorably to [Gemini] consolidating into a single share class we think some of the stocks valuation discount in our minds around capital allocation concerns will be reduced, and higher valuation will probably offset EPS dilution potential We view the proposed removal of [Gemini] dual-class share structure favorably as it would remove the voting control of the Sands family and alleviate concerns on capital allocation We believe market concerns on capital allocation have been a major limiting factor for [Geminis] stock Shareholders gaining more control is a net positive for the longer term, even if there is likely a valid debate around what cost is required for gaining said control. 17 Source: Wall Street research.
