The total share capital of Negril Limited was 2,000,000 $1 ordinary shares. At the date of the acquisition the retained earnings of Negril Limited was $76,000 and the general reserve balance was $123,000. Cove Limited is a small distribution company in Hanover with a share capital of 600,000 $1 ordinary shares.
The purchase consideration for Negril Limited was satisfied by the issue of 3 ordinary shares in Hanover Agencies Limited for every 4 shares acquired in Negril Limited. At this date the market price of a share in HAL was $3.20. The balance on the purchase consideration represents an issue of $2,000,000 in 10% loans stocks by HAL to the shareholders of Negril Limited and a deferred cash payment, to be satisfied in 5 years’ time (appropriate discount rate 9%).
