Evaluations & Transactions

Valuation of the management’s option programme

Finantsakadeemia assessed the value of the management options programme of a company operating in the road construction industry. Options had to be disposed of due to the restructuring of the Group. The assessment was performed by using a combination of the binominal and the Black-Scholes methods. Valuation was unusually complicated due to the fact that the date of the transfer of options was different from the date of their issue and the transfer depended on whether the employment relationship continued on the date of transfer.
