Create a simplified LBO model for the illustrative take-private of NYSE: EPAM using the following assumptions. Assume 2/27/26 close as the date for share price and use a 30.0% offer premium to arrive at Offer Price. Use FY2025 basic weighted-average shares outstanding for share count. Transaction expenses are equal to $50 million, the sponsor will use 5.0x leverage in the form of new debt at 8% interest. Assume exit multiple of 10.0x EBITDA with 5-year hold period.

Change in NWC is neutral, D&A and CapEx as % of Revenue are 2.5% and 1.0%, respectively. Assume 25% tax rate, minimum cash balance of $500 million and 2.0% interest rate on cash. All free cash flow is used to pay down new debt. For interest expense and interest income, use average balances. Calculate initial sponsor equity, exit enterprise value, exit equity value, IRR and MOIC using these assumptions.
