Leah Turnbull did a fantastic job. Note that the presenter was not on the markee but she did a fantastic job!. I would suggest that the major slide that provides an overview of the flow chart for tracing funds, sources of funds, proceeds flowing to the seller, the installment note of seller as member in participation of financing be broken out more into 3 slides. ESOP financing needs to be presented more. As private equity is diminishing in the market place, this presentation is very timely. Thank you for presenting it. Great job, Leah!
