Traditional Levels of Value The  control value  refers to the value of the enterprise as a whole The  marketable minority interest value  refers to the value of a minority interest that lacks control but enjoys the benefit of liquidity as if it were freely tradable in an active market The  nonmarketable minority interest value  refers to the value of a minority interest that lacks both control and market liquidity
Traditional Levels of Value ,[object Object],The  control premium  is the additional amount that an investor would pay to acquire control of a firm versus a publicly traded minority interest in that company The  minority interest discount  is the decrement to value owing to the fact that the holder of a minority interest cannot exercise control over the firm The  marketability discount  relates to the decrement to value, versus the marketable minority interest value, that arises because no liquid trading market (such as the NYSE) exists for the subject firm’s shares

Editor's Notes

  1. In what states have you testified, either in deposition or at trial?
  2. What is a standard of value? What are the most commonly used standards of value? Why is the standard of value important to an appraisal? What is the standard of value for this appraisal? How does an appraiser take this definition and develop an actual opinion of fair value? Are you a lawyer? Do you read fair value cases? Yes, we read from business and valuation perspectives Why do you read them?
  3. Why is the concept of “levels of value” so important in a fair value determination?
  4. Will you describe the levels of value for the court?
  5. Now will you explain what the key valuation premiums and discounts are that relate the different levels of value?
  6. Can you summarize this discussion of levels of value and the implications for your fair value determination?
  7. Do you show the levels of value in your report? Looking at the charts it appears there can be different values for the same company. How is that? Why do you show financial control value sitting on top of marketable minority value? Why might there be a divergence between financial control value and marketable minority value? Are these two levels the same thing?
