From: Bryan Fingeroot Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 03:56 PM Cc: Mark Hibbert Subject: DB Special Situations: Shopping List Sales Notes Only / For Institutional Use Only Given the rapid moving market, we wanted to mention some ideas that we think are interesting risk/rewards here. We kept the list tight to make it readable in 60 seconds, we have models and good research analysts on all of these so let us know if you would like to follow up on anything. As always these are sales notes only, follow links or email us for additional research and full view of risks. -DB Team North Star Financial (NRF) Why: 8% dividend yield, interesting sum of the parts, excellent value creating management team, hidden value. Possible Catalyst: Split company into two parts to re-rate multiple, could also see RMZ add, possible dividend increase DB Target: $22.50 Last note: https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c088f08cc8.pdf <https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c088f08cc8.pdf> EFTA_R1_01348938 EFTA02359644 DB Analyst: Stephen Laws Applied Materials (AMAT) Why: If the Tokyo Electron deal closes earnings power should be in the $2-$2.50 range, give it a mid teens multiple to account for their technology leadership and position in the 4 company industry. Possible Catalyst: Closing of Tokyo deal would lead to EPS being revised higher and re-rating of the stock price DB Target: $30 Last note: https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c088feacf9.pdf <https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c088feacf9.pdf> DB Analyst: Sidney Ho Twitter (TVVTR) Why: Seems that the pressure is on management to unlock some value by switching up the business model a bit. Stock is out of favor with 7.5% of the float short but it seems with such a massive user base that with the right move value could get unlocked here. Possible Catalyst: Any business model shift to show ability to monetize user base would be well received. DB Target: $60 Last note: https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c088e52151.pdf <https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c088e52151.pdf> DB Analyst: Ross Sandler Dynegy (DYN) Why: Company is making two big acquisitions which will transform it into a premier IPP in good markets.

Possible Catalyst: Any sort of strategic action to lower tax bill for BABA or collapse discount to NAV would be a big positive. DB Target: 9500 Last note: https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c0890ec359.pdf <https://ger.gm.cib.intranet.db.com/ger/document/pdf/0900b8c0890ec359.pdf> OB Analyst: Peter Milliken MGM (MGM) Why: Dislocated due to no direct Vegas comp and Macau weakness, very attractive sum of the parts valuation with tailwinds from Vegas.
