Abstract

United Grain Growers Limited is a grain handling and marketing business. The head of investment at Scotia Capital Markets must make a recommendation to his client regarding the fairness of a hostile offer to purchase the shares of United Grain Growers. He must consider a number of issues such as determining the value of the company using discounted cash flow analysis, value synergies for the company if it were combined with a number of alternative suitors, analyse the potential gains to a merger and analyse data on comparable firms and transactions allowing for a traditional ratio-based valuation of the company. There is a case supplement (product ''9B00N021'') that describes the outcome of this bid.
