AFM – Nov 2016 – L3 – Q4a – Valuation of acquisitions and mergers

Calculate the NPV of Mama Ltd's acquisition of Papa Ltd and determine the value of the combined entity and an appropriate share exchange ratio.

Question

a) The Directors of Mama Ltd (Mama), a large listed company, are considering an opportunity to
acquire all the shares of Papa Ltd (Papa), a small listed company with a highly efficient
production technology.
Mama has 10 million shares of common stock in issue that are currently trading at GH¢6.00
each. Papa Ltd has 5 million shares of common stock in issue, each of which is trading at
GH¢4.50.
If Papa is acquired and integrated into the business of Mama, the production efficiency of the
combined entity would increase and save the combined business GH¢600,000 in operating
costs each year to perpetuity.
Though Mama operates in the same industry as Papa, its financial leverage is higher than that
of Papa. Mama’s total debt stock is valued at GH¢40 million, and its after-tax cost of debt is
22%. The beta of Mama’s common stock is 1.2. The return on the risk-free asset is 20% and
the market risk premium is 5%.
Required:
Suppose Mama offers a cash consideration of GH¢25 million from its existing funds to the
shareholders of Papa for all of their shares.
i) Calculate the NPV of the acquisition, and advise the directors of Mama on whether to
proceed with the acquisition or not. (8 marks)
ii) Calculate the value of the combined entity immediately after the acquisition. (3 marks)
iii) Suppose Mama would like to acquire all the shares in Papa by offering fresh shares of its
own common stock to the shareholders of Papa. Advise the directors on the appropriate
share exchange ratio based on market price.
