iiii) Calc Premium VANS is a privately owned manufacturer of light trailers that are sold to rental companies and individuals. Its sole owner, Mr. Benjamin Webster is presently considering a purchase offer from Prentice Works. The offer for the equity of VANS is as follows:
 
i) A cash payment for $5 million due at closing.
 
ii) A 7.5% annual coupon five-year subordinated note issued by Prentice Works, for $7 million with principal payable at maturity.
 
v) An earnout agreement stipulating a payment to take effect at the end of the third year equal to one-half times third year EBITDA.
 
​Prentice Works will assume VANS’s present net debt of $14.8 million. Furthermore, VANS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Prentice and Mr. Webster will stay as its president with a three-year contract and competitive compensation, at the end of which he will retire.

b. What is the value of the earnout agreement?
 
c. How much is Prentice Works offering for the enterprise (debt plus equity) of VANS? What is the initial EBITDA multiple offered by Prentice?
