Frequently Asked Questions

How do I value synergies in the transaction?

The template provides systematic approaches to identify, quantify, and value synergies. It includes probability adjustments, timing considerations, and NPV calculations to determine the value of synergy opportunities.

What's the difference between accretive and dilutive deals?

The template clearly shows EPS accretion/dilution analysis. Accretive deals increase EPS while dilutive deals decrease it. The template helps optimize deal structure to maximize accretion potential.

How do I model different deal structures?

The template supports cash, stock, and mixed consideration structures. It shows the impact of each structure on ownership, control, financing requirements, and financial metrics for both companies.

What integration costs should I include?

The template includes one-time integration costs such as system integration, employee severance, legal fees, and operational restructuring. It models these costs against synergy benefits to determine net value creation.

How does it handle regulatory considerations?

The template includes sections for regulatory approval timelines, potential divestitures, and regulatory-related costs. It helps model scenarios with different regulatory outcomes and their financial impact.
