Rocky Mountain Advanced Genome (RMAG), Colorado, was founded by seven research scientists in 1967 RMAG uncoded 60% of all human genes, and was using that information to design treatments for diseases Business segments: Diagnosic test kits Agricultural biogenetic engineering Human therapeutics Introduction
Introduction • Big Sur Capital Management Company, California, established in 1968 as a hedge fund, later successful in “private equity” investments • The firms portfolio consists of 64 investments worth $2 billion
Introduction • In 1996 negotiations neared conclusion for a private equity investment by Big Sur in RMAG • RMAG owners proposed to sell a 90% equity interest to Big Sur for $46 million. • The proceeds of equity sale would be used to finance the growth of the firm.
Assumptions The company has no debt financing. Therefore the Market Value of debts = 0 If Economic value = Market Value of assets = Market Value of debts + Market Value of equity then Economic value = Market Value of assets = Market Value of equity = Total present value
Maximum price Big Sur must pay • RMAG owners asked $46 million for 90% of equity • If $46 m = 90% then 100% = $51.1 m • RMAG MV of equity = $51.1 m = Total PV • Exhibit 6: the RMAG Total present value of $52 m is calculated with an approximate 5% annual growth rate
Maximum price Big Sur must pay • the same growth rate (5%) results in Big Sur Total present value of $35 m • 90% of $35 m = $ 31.5 m
Maximum price Big Sur must pay • growth rate of 7% - RMAG’s management believes as real due to a strong patent position • 100% of Total present value = $46 m • 90% of $46 m = $ 41.4 m
Price Big Sur should offer • 3% rate based on GNP rate • for 3 % growth rate the Big Sur Total present value is $26 m • 100% of Total present value = $26 m • 90% of Total present value = $23.4 m
Advisors opinion • Big Sur should start negotiations by offering a price of $23.4 m for 90% of equity • Big Sur should exit negotations if RMAG management insists on a price higher than $41.4 m
