Webinar Description
This webinar will introduce attendees to two new methods for calculating DLOM. The first method involves an updated approach to using stock options, specifically LEAP puts and calls. The second method presents a fresh perspective on DLOM, based on a study of Special Stock Dividends. We will provide a comprehensive background on both methods, supported by historical data, and demonstrate how these techniques can enhance the accuracy and quality of valuators' reports.
Instructional Methods
Methods include lecture, visual PPT presentation and polling questions.
Course Audience
Business valuation professionals who use Discounts for Lack of Marketability in their valuation reports and are looking to expand their knowledge and quality of their reports.
Learning Level
Advanced
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate 2 new ways to calculate a DLOM;
- Provide a direct link between liquidity, illiquidity and marketability;
- Review why both puts and calls are better for LEAP discounts than just puts; and
- Explain how a LEAP stock option discount can be analogous to a discount rate build up calculation.
