We need to build a simplified year-by-year table FY2026-FY2030. First, compute initial purchase price: EBITDA FY2025 = $120m. Purchase price = 12.0x EBITDA = 12 * 120 = $1,440m (enterprise value). Transaction fees = 2.0% of EV = 0.02 * 1440 = $28.8m, paid at close from equity. Total leverage at close = 5.5x EBITDA.
