Hi John,
In part a's answer there is a sentence that says "overall the benefits from growth in excess of the risk-free rate ... have led to an increase in the value of the combined company..."
I want to understand how the excess of the risk free rate (Beta * Market risk premium) can be likened to growth and lead to an increase in the value of the combined company.
Thanks!

He is referring to the fact that future growth will be 5% and then 2.25% and that this is higher than the risk free 2%. In fact it is not that it is more than 2% that is really relevant - it is just that the extra value results from a combination of the expected growth and the synergy benefits.
thank you, sir
