& I will remove the world
bola do ferro, welcome to our message board.
GiveMeLeverage gave us a great insight as to what recovery could be for BH, depending on GM market Cap.
You follow a different route in your calculation, so I'll try to stick to your approach.
Big IF: why $ 120 per share? That's your decision...
Still, a few additional points:
as you mentioned nobody knows hoow many unsecured claims will be allowed. Not even the judge, I'm sorry, as the debtor is still rejecting claims.
We have an estimate from GM, as they had to mention this problem in their filing for the IPO. It could be right, but nobody knows for sure.
I just underlined that even some asbestos claims will be treated as unsecured claims. Are you sure this calculation is already available?
When will shares and warrants be made available to unsecured creditors? Timing may effect the value of a financial instrument...
Rounding up (sorry, down)... you're buying something that hasn't a sure value (although this is not a major problem for those investing large amounts of money).
I may have forgotten something...
Thank you very much for the "great insight"
A minor correction: bola de ferro's hypothesis was a share price of $140, not $120.
Why is his result so different from mine (market Cap of B$ 70 = recovery of 56,6% versus recovery of 30%)?
I think the answer is in the number of shares:
- bola assumes 500 million shares (which is the number of shares already issued by GM)
- I assume more than 600 million shares (on a fully diluted basis)
Additionally, I consider the B$ 9 of Series A Preferred Stock as equity (not as a liability), so I have to sum this B$ 9 to the Market Cap.
PS:
Sorry for my bad English, I hope it's understandable.
