In the presentation, Think outlines the following:
-
The Transaction price substantially undervalues
TaskUs . Think’s analysis of relevant comparable transactions and the Company’s recent operating outperformance indicates that a fair valuation forTaskUs is$25.00 per share,more than 50% abovethe proposed buyout price. In just the few months following the Transaction’s announcement,TaskUs has significantly outperformed the financial expectations factoring into the$16.50 figure – according to Think, this alone warrants a re-rating.

The Transaction is the result of a skewed process that lacked rigor and relied on cherry-picked precedent transactions and public comparables. Think believes that the TaskUs Board of Directors’ Special Committee failed to undertake a comprehensive process to determine a fair price for the Company.

Coupled with strong momentum coming out of the first half of the year, Think believes the Transaction’s contemplated price fails to compensate minority shareholders for the Company’s intrinsic value.
