Hi there,

I am doing the task assuming that Macquarie Bank Australia is going to takeover Wilson Asset Management (WAM).

I have to find the reasons why such an acquisition is deemed to be beneficial.

• Can you please explain the types of the takeover deal and describe the benefits associated with the deal

• How to calculate the market capitalisation of the target and the synergy?

I have trouble understanding this question, can you please explain this in depth?

• In the context of Real Option analysis, outline the source of the synergy.

Thank you,

KK
