Consideration: USD 14B
Approximately $13.9 billion purchase consideration reported in the acquisition disclosure; distinct from the proxy’s $14.3 billion implied enterprise value.
Basis
- The proxy reports an implied enterprise value of $14.3 billion and multiples of 12.9x fiscal 2015 and 13.8x projected fiscal 2016 EBITDA, before one-time charges/gains and stock-based compensation. The 10-K reports fiscal 2015 net sales of $4.520031 billion. The approximately $13.9 billion total equity value reported at announcement and $13.9 billion purchase consideration reported at closing are distinct from the proxy’s implied enterprise value. No EBITDA amount is populated because the cited sources report multiples, not a matching EBITDA denominator amount. USD14.3bn / USD4.520031bn = approximately3.164x Reported FY2015 net sales USD4.520031bn. Revenue multiple derived using USD14.3bn transaction enterprise value.
