OBJECTIVE:
The course covers the detailed mechanics of how to build a financial model for mergers and acquisitions and how to assess the impact of the transaction through accretion/dilution analysis and impact on the implied share price (intrinsic value per share). By performing sensitivity analysis, participants will understand how a change in assumptions impacts future outcomes of the merger or acquisition.

The course is built on a case study of Online Company Inc acquiring Brick ‘n’ Mortar Co. Through the course of the transaction, students will learn about:

• The construction of a detailed Pro Forma model
• Analysis of synergies, revenue enhancements, cost structures

• The strategic impact of combining the businesses
• Share price impact
