**SUBJECT:** Executive Summary of Due Diligence Findings for Santiago, Johnson and Walls (Deal ID: MNA-2024-UP911)

This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Santiago, Johnson and Walls. The review period commenced on 2024-08-12 and concluded on 2024-11-13, 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, Santiago, Johnson and Walls exhibits a declining revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 25.4% and a net profit margin of 13.0%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a simple debt structure. Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (seize end-to-end methodologies) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 430 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of no active, material litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as diversified, while its technological backbone is considered largely hybrid.
