In Short (starter/negligible size) - Privatization Plan, an Underwriter should evaluate!!
This is true arbitraguer game right now. Treat this more like a M&A. There will be blood in the street. It could be anyone's.
I am assuming that this is another stunt pulled to elevate the stock price. And eventually the deal falls out. Why? read!
57B in CCE, (AP+Expense+STD = 17.2B, AR=7.2) Net = -10B, Liquidate LTI = 24B, Interest other expenses would grow after Liquidating = -1.4B [69.6B potential money to be relieved] with 6.1B shares float, 11.41 Price that can be paid to the shareholder.
This certainly calls for a Law Suit and push the company to bankrupcy. With no hopes of raising more money.
If they think they can turn around with minimum cash, no more funding. They can buy back at $8.3, To continue to operate.
If they think to shut down, additional 9-10B can be salvaged out of the PPE.
Goodwill and Intangibles have no value. 79.6B tobe paid to go pprivate. $13 share price.
The deal would fall out 80%. But shorting this at $13 would be so sweet.
This valuation and how the premarket reacted today can show you, how my valuation technique is efficient.
