So a purely financial investor at first-stage +target returns would pay **below par in every case but one**: the +favourable case at an EM multiple and the lower 40 % rate (143 to 160 +THB).

At the CAPM +cost of equity, which prices market risk only, the central case is +worth 86 to 292 THB today and the adverse case 11 to 39 THB. Ploy +Printing as a supplier and the founders as operators have reasons to +hold at par that a purely financial investor does not. ### E. Cross-check with the calculator -The calculator's ~22 % IRR and ~4.7M USD NPV at 10 % are a project return -on the whole 6.56M USD, before tax and financing: it clears the -unlevered cost of capital the market data give (2.30 % + 0.61 to 0.85 x -6.18 % = 6.1 to 7.5 %) and the calculator's own 10 %, but sits well below -the 40 to 60 % first-stage targets, so the calculator alone would not -support a premium to a financial investor. Equity funded at 3:1 earns -more than the project when the plant earns more than its loans cost and -loses faster when it does not (the adverse rows in C); with no loan terms -on file, no equity IRR is stated here. +With no loan, **the shareholders' return is the project return**: the +calculator's ~22 % IRR (pre-tax, no terminal value) and ~4.7M USD NPV at +its 10 % discount rate are what the 217M of share capital (6.56M USD in +year 0) earns before tax on the calculator's picture. That clears the +CAPM cost of equity (6.1 to 7.5 %) and the calculator's 10 %, is close to +the returns venture funds actually earned (16.9 to 21.4 %, Damodaran +Table 3), and sits well below the 40 to 60 % first-stage targets, so the +calculator alone would not support a premium to a financial investor. +The 20 % corporate income tax (Group B, no CIT holiday on the core +activity) lowers it: a rough check, tax on the calculator's yearly cash +less straight-line depreciation over its 12.5 years (0.49M USD a year), +gives **~18 % after tax** (estimate). The calculator's cash view is +itself well above the revenue model's central EBITDA (2.23M against +1.73M USD), so this return is not the honest case either; in the adverse +case EBITDA pays the price back in ~37 years (revenue model). ## What it means - **A founding round pari passu at par is the defensible default.** Until the plant exists, a share is worth the cash behind it. At par (100 THB) - the 40 % costs ~21.7M THB at the 3:1 equity floor, ~28.9M at a third and - ~43.4M at a half, for 217,000, ~289,300 or 434,000 shares; the lead - investor's 60 % costs one and a half times as much at the same price. - The memorandum needs no premium clause for this. + the 40 % is 868,000 shares for ~86.8M THB of Plan B's ~217M share + capital, and the lead investor's 60 % is 1,302,000 shares for ~130.2M, + the same price for everyone.

The Code's route is + interest from the due date (section 1122), a second notice that can + warn of forfeiture (1123), forfeiture (1124) and a public auction of + the forfeited shares, the surplus returned (1125). The agreement can + add who may take up a missed call or the forfeited shares first, so a + stake does not pass to an outside bidder, and evidence that each + shareholder can meet its calls: the lead investor carries 60 % of each + one (~52M THB at the second call), so a missed call there would stall + the build. ## Caveats - **Not a valuation opinion, not an offer price.** Ranges and scenarios from public data and the plan's estimates, for discussion. No share price is agreed; it goes into the shareholders' agreement. -- **No loan terms are on file.** Net debt is the most the 3:1 rule allows - and one sensitivity; no interest rate, schedule or debt-service figure - is assumed. Interest and repayment would change the year-5 net debt - either way. +- **No loan is planned and no loan terms are on file.** The levered table + in C is a sensitivity at the most the 3:1 rule allows; no interest + rate, schedule or debt-service figure is assumed. - **The extra cost of specials is not modelled** in the revenue model's direct cost, so every EBITDA here is an upper bound until compound quotes exist. - **Central is optimistic, adverse is honest.** The central EBITDA margin (~47 %) is far above the 15 to 25 % pressing plants earn and the 15 to 18 % of the SET peers; the industry-norm row shows the difference. -- **Contingency is not in the price.** At 15 % (~30M THB) a cost overrun - funded by equity at par adds shares at 100 THB; funded by debt, it - raises net debt and lowers every value in C and D. +- **Contingency is not in the price.** At 15 % (~30M THB), an overrun + funded by the shareholders at par adds ~300,000 shares at 100 THB + (pro rata, the 60/40 holds) and lowers every per-share value in C and D + by about an eighth; funded by a loan, it would add net debt instead. +- **Cash is not counted.** Net debt 0 nets no cash: cash the plant earns + before year 5 is assumed paid out (a return of its own, not in C) or + spent on growth; cash kept in the company adds to the values. - **Market multiples are for listed companies**, most of them far larger than this plant; a small private company would usually be priced below - them (estimate).
