EBV is considering a $6M Series A investment in Newco. EBV proposes to structure the investment
as 5M shares of convertible preferred stock. The founder and employees of Newco have claims on
10M shares of common stock. Thus, following the Series A investment, Newco will have 10M
common shares outstanding and would have 15M shares outstanding on conversion of the CP. EBV
estimates a 30 percent probability for a successful exit, with an expected exit time in 5 years and an
exit valuation of $250M.
The $100M EBV fund has annual fees of 2 percent for each of its 10 years of life and earns 20
percent carried interest on all profits. Assume the following: The cost of venture capital is 10%;
Expected GVM -2.5; expected retention for first round investors is 50%. GP% - 10%. Apply
standard assumptions listed in the textbook and lecture notes for additional data and information
required for the valuation.
What is the proposed ownership today at the time of investment?

Lambergeeny Inc. has decided to go public by selling $5,000,000 of new common stock. Its investment bankers agreed to take a smaller fee now (6% of gross proceeds versus their normal 10%) in exchange for a 1-year option to purchase an additional 200,000 shares at $5.00 per share. The investment bankers expect to exercise the option and purchase the 200,000 shares in exactly one year, when the stock price is forecasted to be $6.50 per share. However, there is a chance that the stock price will actually be $12.00 per share one year from now. If the $12 price occurs, what would the present value of the entire underwriting compensation be? Assume that the investment banker's required return on such arrangements is 15%, and ignore taxes.
