Case: Interco
1) Assess Intercos financial performance. Why is the company a target of a hostile takeover
attempt?
2) As a member of Intercos board, are you persuaded by the premiums paid analysis*
(Exhibit 10) and the comparable transactions (multiples) analysis (Exhibit 11)? Why?

3) Wasserstein, Perella & Co. established a valuation range of $68-$80 per common share
for Interco. Show that this valuation range can follow from the assumptions described in
the discounted cashflow analysis section of Exhibit 12. As a member of Intercos board,
which assumptions would you have questions? Why?
4) How would you advise the Interco board on the $70 per share offer?

*Premiums paid analysis:

Calculation

Pb
Method:

takeover price is
