Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated the estimated ratio of each applicable company's firm value (calculated as the market value of the company's common stock on a fully diluted basis, plus any net debt and minority interest, which is referred to as "FV") to each such company's 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (which is referred to as "EBITDA") other than the (i) U.S. Utilities comparable companies, for which J.P. Morgan calculated the estimated ratio of each applicable company's FV to each such company's 2026 regulated asset base (which is referred to as "RAB") and (ii) AGIC comparable companies, for which J.P. Morgan calculated the estimated ratio of each applicable company's share price to each such company's book value. Estimated financial data for the selected companies was based on the selected companies' filings with the SEC and information J.P. Morgan obtained from FactSet Research Systems and selected equity research reports. The multiples and ratios for each of the selected companies were based on the most recent publicly available information.
