Doug Zona, Hager’s treasurer and your boss, has been asked to place a value on the target and he has enlisted your help.
LL has 20 million shares of stock trading at $12 per share. Security analysts estimate LL’s beta to be 1.25. The risk-free rate is 5.5% and the market risk premium is 4%. LL’s capital structure is 20% financed with debt at an 8% interest rate; any additional debt due to the acquisition also will have an 8% rate. LL has a 25% federal-plus-state tax rate, which will not change due to the acquisition.
The following data incorporate expected synergies and required levels of total net operating capital for LL should Hager’s complete the acquisition. The
Note:
aDebt is added on the first day of the year, so the 2019 debt is LL’s debt prior to the acquisition.
Hager’s management is new to the merger game, so Zona has been asked to answer some basic questions about mergers as well as to perform the merger analysis. To structure the task, Zona has developed the following questions, which you must answer and then defend to Hager’s board:

A privately held corporation, is making plans for future investments that can increase growth. The company’s manager has recommended that the company “go public” by issuing common stock to raise the funds needed to support the growth. The current owners, who founded the firm, are worried that control of the firm will be diluted by this strategy. If the company undertakes an IPO, it is estimated that each share of stock will sell for $6.25, the investment banking fee will be 22 percent of the total value of the issue.
If the founders must issue stock to finance the growth of the firm, what would you recommend they do to protect their controlling interest for at least a few years after the IPO?

The founders now hold all of the company’s stock: 8 million shares. If the company issues 8 million shares, what proportion of the stock will the founders own after the IPO?
Your employer, a midsized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonand (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M’s financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%.
Use B&M’s data and the free cash flow valuation model to answer the following questions:
What is its estimated intrinsic value of equity?
What is its estimated intrinsic stock price per share?

LL has a 25% federal-plus-state tax rate, which will not change due to the acquisition. The following data incorporate expected synergies and required levels of total net operating capital for LL should Hager’s complete the acquisition. The forecasted interest expense includes the combined interest on LL’s existing debt and on new debt. After 2024, all items are expected to grow at a constant 6% rate. Note: aDebt is added on the first day of the year, so the 2019 debt is LL’s debt prior to the acquisition. Hager’s management is new to the merger game, so Zona has been asked to answer some basic questions about mergers as well as to perform the merger analysis. To structure the task, Zona has developed the following questions, which you must answer and then defend to Hager’s board: Why can’t we estimate LL’s value to Hager’s by discounting the FCFs at the WACC? What method is appropriate? Use the projections and other data to determine the LL division’s free cash flows and interest tax savings for 2020 through 2024. Notice that the LL division’s sales are expected to grow rapidly during the first years before leveling off at a sustainable long-term growth rate.arrow_forwardYour employer, a midsized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonand (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock.

Before hiring an investment banker to assist in making the public offering, managers at Ignatius have decided to make their own estimate of the firm’s common stock value. The firm’s CFO has gathered data for valuating using the free cash flow valuation model. The firm’s weighted average cost of capital is 12%, and it has $1,500,000 of debt at market value and $550,000 of preferred stock at its assumed market value. The estimated free cash flows over the next 5 year, 2024 through 2028, are given below. Beyond 2028 to infinity, the firm expects its free cash flow to grow by 3% annually.
