Although referring to past mobile transaction table, which assumes control premium - Exhibit 8, Mannesmann was relatively paid more as EV/Sub is 8,857x and EV/POP is 533x, which are higher than means for controlling deals, which are 6,530x for EV/sub and 330x for EV/POP in Europe and 4,569x and 203x respectively in U.S. However, transaction in same industry doesn’t necessarily reflect firm-specific characteristics, thus we developed a proximate synergy valuation model based on Goldman Sachs’ valuation on synergy of Vodafone&Mannesmann (V&M) deal.
