In Mar/Jun 2016, question on Louieed, part b(comment on the impact of funding on EPS and gearing) , in the answer, the examiner wrote :
If all 5 of the major shareholders decide to realise their investment rather than 2, this will increase the cash required by $512 million = 25%*22.75*90m
Please help me to explain how to calculate 25% ?
Thank you.April 15, 2023 at 4:00 pm #682670I would like to ask 1 more question:
Louieed Co’s gearing prior to bid = 540/(540+(340*12.19) = 11.5%
Where does 12.19 come from ?
April 16, 2023 at 10:03 am #682696First question:
The company’s founders own 45% of the shares.
For the third option is it thought that 3 of the founders who own 20% of the shares will take up the offer.
If all the founders take up the offer then that means 45% will take it up, which is an extra 25%.
April 16, 2023 at 10:06 am #682697Second question:
The calculation is shown in the first line of the answer to part (b) of the question.
April 16, 2023 at 10:32 am #682700Sorry my revision Kit does not have the line which shows the calculation of 12.19.
Could you please write the formular here?
Thank you.April 16, 2023 at 6:14 pm #682738The PE ratio is 14. Therefore the value of a Louieed share is $296m x 14 / 340m = $12.19.
