2. You work for the legendary buyout firm KKR. You are evaluating a potential leveraged buyout of Feckless Corporation. Feckless has no debt, its stock price is $20, and it has 2 million shares outstanding. You believe that if you buy the company, introducing $23 million in debt onto its balance sheet, and replace its management, its value will increase by 60%. You are planning to offer $23 per share for a 50% controlling interest in the company. If enough shareholders tender to give you control, then the shares will be purchased with debt through a shell company you own that will later be merged into Feckless, so that Feckless assumes this debt. The shareholders know that this is your plan.

a. If you get 50% control, what will be the value of equity in the post-merger firm? What will be the new share price?

b. Given the answer in (a), will shareholders tender their shares, not tender their shares, or be indifferent?

c. How much of your own money would you have to spend to gain control? What will your gain from the buyout transaction be? What fraction of the total value added to Feckless does this represent?
