      "text": "Since the March 27 Special Committee meeting, several notable Pioneer developments have occurred: Pioneer share price has declined 10.6% from $11.16 on our March 27th meeting to $9.98, compared to flat performance for the S&P 500. Pioneer closed the quarter ending March 31st on April 24th, with mixed performance versus street expectations: Q3 2014 EBITDA of $17.1mm, (4.6%) below street estimates of $17.9mm. EBITDA delta driven primarily by lower PELLC unit distribution jobs and continued weakness at Klondyke and Pine Valley, partially offset by stronger than expected storm results. Management updated the management forecasts on April 9, 2014 following a detailed performance discussion with divisional leadership given continued weakness in Q3 and better visibility into Q4. 2014 includes flow-through impact of changes in Duke and PPL contracts, delays in material procurement and wet weather impact on overhead distribution. 2015E-2018E growth profile unchanged, yet starting off a lower 2014E base. Moderated escalation of G&A cost from 5% to 3% given historical trends.",

Pioneer facilitated a due diligence session for Court Square on April 28th in Mt. Airy with focus on fleet/asset base, operations (including HR), and miscellaneous balance sheet items. Management provided supplemental diligence materials, including an update on Q3 actual performance, to Court Square, Party A and Party B and addressed their respective diligence questions and requests to facilitate submission of a preliminary non-binding indication of interest. On April 29, Court Square submitted a non-binding indications of interest for $12.75 per share in cash. Party B and Party A decided not to submit an indication of interest. Potential next steps for the Special Committee: Consider the Court Square preliminary indication of interest and other market feedback received. Weigh that preliminary indication versus the perceived risks and opportunities inherent in the standalone plan.",
