The $6 million debt portion is structured in two parts:
  • Term Loan: $4.5 million with 5-year term, including a 1-year grace period on principal repayment
  • Equipment Financing: $1.5 million specifically for production equipment, potentially structured as leasing or vendor financing
Loan Terms
We are in discussions with financial institutions regarding loan terms, with the following parameters anticipated:
  • Interest Rate: Approximately 6% annually (subject to final negotiation)
  • Tenor: 5 years for term loan
  • Grace Period: 12 months on principal (interest-only during construction)
  • Collateral: Production equipment, land, and buildings
  • Covenants: Standard financial covenants including DSCR >1.2x, current ratio >1.3x
  • Disbursement: Phased according to project milestones
Funding Timeline
The capital deployment will be phased to align with project implementation:
  • Initial Phase: Equity funds utilized first for land acquisition, permits, and equipment deposits
  • Construction Phase: Debt drawdown begins for building construction and equipment payments
  • Final Phase: Remaining funding for commissioning, training, and working capital
This phased approach optimizes interest costs while ensuring adequate funding throughout the implementation process.

Return Scenarios
We have modeled multiple scenarios to understand the range of potential returns:
  • Conservative Case: 14-16% IRR with slower market penetration and moderate pricing
  • Base Case: 20% IRR with execution according to plan
  • Optimistic Case: 25-30% IRR with faster ramp-up and favorable pricing environment
These returns are compelling relative to typical investment alternatives in manufacturing and compare favorably to industry benchmarks for similar projects. The established nature of float glass technology reduces technical risk while our strategic positioning in an underserved market creates significant upside potential.
Exit Strategy for Investors
While Crystal Circle is designed as a long-term profitable enterprise, we recognize the importance of providing exit opportunities for equity investors. Several viable exit pathways have been identified.
Timeline Expectations
Typical investment horizon of 5-10 years, with potential partial liquidity events beginning around Year 5 after operations stabilize and debt is substantially reduced. Full exit opportunities would be evaluated in the 7-10 year timeframe.
Strategic Acquisition
Sale to a larger industry player seeking to expand their geographic footprint represents the most likely exit scenario. Major glass manufacturers often prefer acquiring established operations rather than building new facilities when entering markets.
Financial Buyer
Private equity firms with industrial portfolios may be interested in acquiring a profitable, cash-generating asset with stable market position. The company's strong EBITDA margins and consistent cash flows would be attractive to financial buyers.
Dividend Recapitalization
Once debt is substantially repaid (Years 5-6), the strong cash flows could support a dividend recapitalization, allowing investors to recover a significant portion of their investment while maintaining ownership for continued returns.
Based on industry transactions and valuations, we anticipate a potential exit valuation of 5-7x EBITDA. At projected Year 7 EBITDA of approximately $4 million, this would represent an enterprise value of $20-28 million, providing substantial returns to equity investors.
The management team will regularly assess market conditions and potential exit opportunities to maximize investor returns, while maintaining focus on building long-term sustainable value through operational excellence and market leadership.
Growth Opportunities
While our initial business plan focuses on establishing a successful float glass manufacturing operation, Crystal Circle has identified several promising avenues for future growth and value creation.
Value-Added Processing
Expand into downstream processing such as tempering, laminating, and insulated glass unit production. These higher-margin activities would leverage our base glass production and capture additional value in the supply chain. Estimated investment: $2-3 million; Timeline: Years 3-4.
Specialty Coatings
Add coating capabilities to produce low-emissivity (Low-E) and solar control glass products that command premium prices. These energy-efficient products are seeing growing demand due to building regulations and sustainability concerns. Estimated investment: $3-5 million; Timeline: Years 4-5.
Geographic Expansion
Establish distribution centers or processing facilities in neighboring countries to expand market reach beyond the initial 400km radius. This would increase our addressable market without requiring additional float capacity. Estimated investment: $1-2 million; Timeline: Years 3-4.
Capacity Expansion
If market demand exceeds expectations, construct a second production line to increase capacity and achieve greater economies of scale. The existing site has been selected with expansion potential in mind. Estimated investment: $7-8 million; Timeline: Years 5-7.
These growth initiatives would be evaluated based on market conditions, financial performance, and return potential, with implementation sequenced to manage capital requirements and risk. Each expansion path builds upon the core business while leveraging established customer relationships and market position.
The management team will develop detailed business cases for each opportunity as part of our strategic planning process, ensuring that growth decisions align with shareholder value creation and maintain financial discipline.
