A similar Sample question with answer:

The accretion or dilution to EPS

Company A is looking to acquire Company B through a combination of cash and shares. You have been assigned to determine the accretion or dilution to Company A's earnings.

Company B is being acquired for $1 per share, and in addition each Company B share will be exchangeable for 0.5x Company A shares. In addition, Company A has no cash on hand; it will raise additional funds in debt to pay down Company B's obligations and to fund transaction fees upon acquisition.

Some key assumptions are noted next slide:

	Company A	Company B
Price	$12	$6
Shares	250 million	100 million
Options	10 million	20 million
@Strike Price	$15	$6
Balance Sheet Items:
Company A has $125 m debt, $0 m cash, and a book value of $500m
Company B has $175 m debt, $0 m cash, and a book value of $700m
Income Statement Items:
Company A EBIT is expected to be $100 million
Company B EBIT is expected to be $20 million
Key Assumptions:
7% interest on debt
40% tax rate
1% of total EBIT cost savings
Intangible asset allocation is 25% and amortized over 15 years
Fees 1% of purchase price

Solution:

Purchase Price:

Purchase Price

Target Basic Shares 100,000,000 # given

Target Options 20,000,000 # given

Option Strike Price 6 $ given

Purchase Price

Options Exercised 120,000,000 $ = 20m x 6

Purchase Price per Share 7 $ = 1 + (0.5 x 12)

Shares Repurchased 17,142,857 # = 120m / 7

Diluted Shares 2,857,143 # = 20 - 17.14285 Total Diluted Shares 102,857,143 # = 100m + 2.857m $ = #TDS x $7

Purchase Price 720,000,000 $ = #TDS x $7
