Abstract

In early 1990, the management of Hillsdown Holdings, plc (HH) of London, England, was considering merging its wholly-owned subsidiary, Maple Leaf Mills Limited (MLM) of Toronto, Ontario, with a major Canadian food company. Such a merger would make it a major player in the North American food industry. The management of HH hoped to accomplish this through a stock swap, but doing so presented a major challenge, as MLM had no publicly traded common shares. The fair value of MLM and its equity would have to be estimated. To this end, HH''s management retained RBC Cominion Securities Inc, a Toronto-based investment banker.
