**SUBJECT:** Executive Summary of Due Diligence Findings for Williams PLC (Deal ID: MNA-2025-ITSELF108)

This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Williams PLC. The review period commenced on 2025-06-24 and concluded on 2025-07-07, involving extensive analysis by our internal teams and external consultants. The team's general sentiment, following several late-night sessions and copious amounts of coffee, is cautiously optimistic.

From a financial perspective, Williams PLC exhibits a positive revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 27.3% and a net profit margin of 15.2%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a simple debt structure. Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (e-enable b2c portals) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 418 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of pending litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as vulnerable, while its technological backbone is considered largely state-of-the-art.

The investigation surfaced several key risks. A high-severity legal risk was identified concerning 'Potential risk from integrate B2B e-services.'.
