Webinar Description
While a workhorse model in the toolkit of valuation professionals, the OPM cannot handle all areas of equity allocation. This webinar will start with an explanation of the OPM and it's use cases. Following this, we will move onto several unique situations where the model breaks down. For example, we will discuss how to deal with non-linear payout structures, external factors such as a drug approval, and transitions to a public company capital structure. We will use real world examples based on production models of each.
Instructional Methods
Methods include lecture, visual PPT presentation and polling questions.
Course Audience
Valuation Practitioners, Companies, Auditors, or anyone who is involved with the valuation of equity instruments for private companies.
Learning Level
Intermediate
The webinar will broadly cover the following areas which are fundamental to performing valuations in an emerging market context:
1. Introduction to the OPM.
2. Fundamental Assumptions underlying the model.
3. Dealing with special circumstances.
4. Q&A
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Implement the OPM to allocate equity amongst privately held company securities;
- Identify unique circumstances when a different valuation approach might be more suitable for the valuation of equity instruments in a private company;
- Explain (to various stakeholders) the key assumptions and methodology behind the Option Pricing Model; and
- Introduce alternative solutions for the valuation of equity instruments in a private company when the Option Pricing Model is not a viable solution.
