Warrant Valuation Using Black-Scholes Methodology DISCUSSION OF METHODOLOGY Starz has not announced the number of shares that it plans to issue post-ipo. For ease of calculations, we have assumed 100mm total number of shares. In our analysis, SPE is acquiring warrants to purchase 1.01mm to 5.25mm shares. This implies SPE ownership of 1% to 5%. Based on our valuation and assumed share count, the Starz stock price is $17.50. There are a few critical variables that drive warrant value: Stock price: $17.50 was determined based on our valuation; will be set by the market at the IPO. Strike/exercise price: subject to negotiations. The lower the strike price, the more valuable the warrants are to SPE. In our sensitivity analysis, we have illustrated warrant values under a range of strike prices - from penny warrants (in-the-money) to out-of-the-money warrants. If at-the-money warrants are issued, price can be set based on the average trading stock price 30 days from the IPO. Term: the longer the time to expiration, the higher the option value to SPE. Our analysis assumes a 10 year term. The Low and High columns illustrate the warrant value based on (i) the number of warrants SPE can receive and (ii) various strike prices - from penny warrants to at- and out-of-themoney warrants.
