Back to the ownership test, the Disney ownership of Pixar will produce a greater competitive advantage for them. They will lose a powerful competitor, and will produce something

Since this was a stock for stock bid, Martin Marietta offered 0.5 shares for each Vulcan share, which was a premium of 18% to the average exchange ratio based on closing share prices for Martin Marietta and Vulcan for the 30-day period that ended December 9, 2011.

Disney’s acquisition of Pixar had both benefits and implications for both parties involved. By acquiring Pixar, Disney was given access to Pixar’s proprietary technology, which was an important factor, as well as access to new characters. These characters provided a new source of income for Disney, not just for movies, but also to use in theme parks, merchandise stores, etc., meaning new characters would supply immense revenue streams for Disney in several forms. Disney also gained strengthened market power, as acquiring one of their rivals would give them a competitive advantage and would simultaneously make them more powerful in the market. Additionally, Disney was never very successful with their animated movies, and acquiring Pixar would

Looking at Exhibit 11, which is a summary of comparable transactions by business segment, the offer for Interco once again fails to persuade. Looking at the average purchase price multiples of comparable transactions (refer to appendix B), it is apparent that the Rales proposal multiples are invariably lower than the industry averages. It would be in Interco's interests to divest and realize the higher earnings themselves, rather than allowing City Capital to take over at such a low offer.

The Venrock/BVP offer an inside round at 98.5¢ per share. The pre-money was roughly $25 million. They would share the $10 million, with Venrock taking more to increase its ownership, and leave the round open for another $5 million, getting the deal done at $15 million with an option to close as high as $18 million.

A closer look at case Exhibit 4 shows that in 1997, Braddock management applied a performance factor of .90 to BVPS, resulting in a market price of $18.65 per share. If indeed the company had a negative outlook at that time, then this price per share could be argued.
