Senior management of Company ABC is contemplating launching a "LBO" on the company whose shares are currently underperforming due to chronic lack lustre sales. It is currently trading at $12/share while, 2 years ago, its value was 3 times that. Senior management projects that, if the IBO takes place: sales will grow by 20% per year for the next 2 years from its current level of $10MM annually, then settle at a constant rate of 6% from year 3 onwards. variable cost is at 60% of sales and fixed cost is a constant $1.5MM per year depreciation is a constant $800,000 per year working capital is tied to the level of sales and is estimated to be 5% of change of sales because of increasing sales, management estimates that $500,000 per year of additional fixed asset are required for the first 2 years of operation, then $100,000 per year thereafter. The proposed financing scheme is given below: 80% debt 20% equity 80% Debt Financing 60% of which is from a financial institution at a rate of 6% to be amortized over 4 years with equal annual payments made at the end of each year 40% of which is from a private placement at a rate of 9% to be amortized over 4 years with equal annual principal repayments made at the end of each year Senior management has also to assume the outstanding long term debt of $1.5MM, one-third of which has to be redeemed at the end of the second year. Its average interest rate is 7%. ABC Co has 300,000 shares outstanding and the Board will not accept any offer less than a 40% premium.
