How Would An Accretion / Dilution Model Be Different For A Private Seller?

Answer»

The mechanics are the same, but the transaction structure is more likely to be an ASSET purchase or 338(H)(10) election; private sellers also don’t have Earnings Per SHARE so you WOULD only project down to Net Income on the seller’s Income Statement. Note that accretion / DILUTION makes no sense if you have a private buyer because private companies do not have Earnings Per Share.
