Proportional ownership approach

Per – Share approach

Proportional Ownership Valuation ?Implied
? Done after the investment is made

?Bottom-up
? Calculating a future value using an internal rate of return

Implied Valuation ?It is generally called “Postmoney” valuation
? Mathematics of such valuation is given below:
For eg. if $1 million to buy 10% stake, then the post money valuation is Post-money = $1,000,000/10% = $10,000,000 General Formula:

Post-money = Pre-money + new money

Bottom-up Valuation
General Formula:

Future Value = (1+r)n * I
where
r = required IRR n = number of years in the holding period I = amount of investment

Per – Share Valuation Example to show the valuation
? 900,000 shares outstanding before the investment ? Investor wants to own 10% for $1 million ? He buys 100,000 shares at $10/share ? Newly established price makes the pre-money valuation $9,000,000 ? Post-money = $10,000,000 ($9,000,000 + $1,000,000)

Complications in Valuation
?Stock Options
? ESOPs create problems in valuation because it dilutes the stake of investor ? Company is generally asked to create the pool of options before the investment

?Investor Preference
? Presence of a preference life Preferred Stock ? It may allocate a higher proportion of value to the investor ? Makes difficult to determine the true value
