Part c)ii) Solution
MV of equity under cash offer $2933.7m
MV of equity under share-for-share offer $4253.7m
Please explain how to arrive at the above answers.August 2, 2021 at 12:58 pm #630130The equity value of the combined company is $4,253.7m (using a PE valuation as shown in Appendix 3.
If a cash offer then Lahla has to pay $1,329m to Kawa’s shareholders, which leaves 4253.7 – 1320 = $2933.7m as the value of Lahla’s shares.
If instead there is a share-for-share offer then no cash is paid out (just more shares issued) and therefore the total value of the shares is the full $4,253.7m.
August 2, 2021 at 1:16 pm #630133Is the thinking behind the $2933.7m a “free cash flow to equity” basis, rather than a double entry basis?
August 2, 2021 at 1:41 pm #630146No, not at all.
Based on the future earnings, the equity is worth 4253.7. However having to pay out cash of 1,320 reduces the value of the company.
