Merger Valuation with the CAPV Model
Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell currently has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its current beta is 1.60 (i.e., based on its target capital structure). Vandell’s debt interest rate is 7.7%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 8%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 40% tax rate.
Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell’s free cash flows to be $2.6 million, $2.7 million, $3.4 million, and $3.62 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a constant 6% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell’s $10.73 million in debt (which has a 7.7% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments will be $1.6 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After…
