22. Leveraged buyout (LO5) The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002
by buying in all 3 million of its outstanding shares at $19.50 per share. By 2006,
management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division
for $13 million, the fiber technology division for $9.5 million, and the synthetic products
division for $21 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable,
Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to
concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.25
this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the
public market, the 3 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the
public at a P/E ratio of 16 times earnings per share.
a. What was the initial total cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were
sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3 million shares (based on current earnings
and an anticipated P/E of 16)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the
restructuring? Use answers from parts a and b to determine this value.
