COCARD TRANSACTION
  • Details behind Merger

23
OPPORTUNITY
  • Combine Pipeline and COCARD together at an
    estimated 6.5X pro forma EBITDA
  • Historically this is between 1-2X the EBITDA
    multiples of most comparable trading values and
    represents a 40-50 discount to the average sale
    and going private multiples over the last several
    years.
  • Take advantage of a unique opportunity to
    incorporate Pipelines excess processing capacity
    and extremely attractive pricing into COCARD
  • Plug the COCARD sales engine into the Pipeline
    processing machine to increase the reach of
    Pipeline beyond the Internet marketing engine it
    has developed
  • Repurchase ownership of the main portfolio at NPC
    and use it to increase cash flow and drive down
    costs
  • Combining the processing volumes of the two
    companies will drive transactional pricing down
    through the Fidelity National Information
    Services contract previously negotiated.

24
Highly Complementary
  • Both Pipeline and COCARD are companies involved
    in the processing of credit and debit card
    transactions and related services. Each has a
    unique and complementary approach to the merchant
    service processing (MSP) business.
  • Pipeline is a leader in boarding and servicing
    e-commerce merchants. Its primary distribution
    channel is through its Internet marketing
    initiatives.
  • COCARD is a leading marketing organization whose
    distribution channel is independent sales offices
    that focus primarily on retail merchant sales.
  • COCARD produces between 650 and 800 new merchant
    accounts each month.
  • COCARD is comprised of over 71 sales offices (as
    of December 31, 2007).
  • Pipelines risk, underwriting and customer
    service departments will be utilized for new
    COCARD merchants, as well as the approximately
    27,000 existing merchants that will be converted
    to the preferential pricing provided by the
    combined volumes of the two entities.
  • Pipeline will process and support the merchant
    base derived from the sales efforts of all of its
    combined entities, including COCARD and all of
    its sales offices and agents.

25
Operational Efficiencies
  • Pipeline would have processed over 75 million
    transactions and 5.1 billion in transaction
    volume per year on a pro forma basis for 2007.
  • Pipeline is qualified to provide direct-connect
    card association authorizations, which will
    magnify the Companys already significant
    processing capability.
  • COCARDs business will flow through Pipelines
    access points, providing significant leverage
    with the Companys transaction settlement
    providers.
  • Pipeline has already achieved significant price
    discounts from its settlement providers. By
    combining the volume of Pipeline and COCARD, the
    Company has the ability to achieve additional
    discounts from these providers.

Rationalization
  • The combination of Pipeline and COCARD brings an
    opportunity to rationalize the operating
    structures of both companies.
  • Pipeline possesses a significant Internet
    service, as well as a back office and information
    technology structure capable of servicing the
    combined companies.
  • As a cooperative, COCARD did not build its own
    infrastructure. Instead, it entered into an
    agreement with National Processing Company
    (NPC) for the back-end settlement of
    transactions. Under the terms of the agreement,
    each ISO provides its own services and is
    responsible for its own selling, general and
    administrative expenses.
