**TO:** M&A Steering Committee
**FROM:** Due Diligence Lead Analyst
**DATE:** 2025-08-13
**SUBJECT:** Executive Summary of Due Diligence Findings for Ramos PLC (Deal ID: MNA-2023-CARE759)

This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Ramos PLC. The review period commenced on 2023-12-24 and concluded on 2024-01-06, 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, Ramos PLC exhibits a volatile revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 15.3% and a net profit margin of 10.0%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a complex debt structure. Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (mesh transparent e-markets) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 316 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of no active, material litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as vulnerable, while its technological backbone is considered largely hybrid.

The investigation surfaced several key risks. A high-severity financial risk was identified concerning 'High risk from extend integrated functionalities.'. The potential financial impact of this particular issue is estimated to be in the range of $11,678,862. 
Ultimately, considering the complete findings and the very high overall risk profile, the formal recommendation is to **Do not proceed**. </data>
