1. About the Case 1.1 Few Facts About the Case • • • •
In 2006, Most of the revenues collected from US Wholesalers and Retailers. Cash securities decreased from $286mn in 2004 to $231mn in 2006. Largest uses of cash included Dividend payment and parts of acquisitions. Company issued new shares in connection with some of its acquisitions.
During 2004-2006, Compounded annual returns are summarized as follows: Compounded Annual Returns BKI

Blaine is an all-Equity firm. It has only obtained long-term financing twice in its history beyond seasonal working capital needs (first during World War II and second time during the first oil shock of 1970). As the company's financial posture was conservative, being unlevered may have been popular during the early twentieth century. However, according to Modigliani and Miller Model, there are advantages of maintaining a certain amount of debt as it adds value to the company in the form of a tax shield provided by the tax-deductible interest on the debt. Therefore, companies find it prudent to maintain some amount of long-term debt on their balance sheets. Although high levels of debt can be risky as there are distress costs associated with high leverage, it is widely accepted that a medium level of leverage can add significant value to a company.
As we see later, calculating cost of equity using CAPM, we get: (Calculating Cost of Equity) R ( ALL EQUITY FIRM ) = 5.54%
3. The New Proposal: Unlevered to Levered Blaine wants to raise $50 million new debt @6.75% and use $209 million of cash from its balance sheet to repurchase 14 million shares @$18.5 per share with an intension to reduce share capital and increase debt equity ratio.

Firm Value Value of Equity (Market Capitalization)
A repurchase of 14 million shares would reduce the outstanding shares to 450.52 million (Equity and Cash Calculation). The EBIT is adjusted for the interest on debt, interest income and taxes to calculate the net income. The resulting net income is lesser than the net income before the share repurchase decision (without debt component). However, the earnings per share have increased from $1.01 per share to $1.28. Therefore, the repurchase program has allowed the company to earn more income on each dollar of its outstanding equity capital. The return on equity increases to 21.65% from 11.35%. Cost of Capital also decreases from 5.54% to 5.31%. Firm Value also increases by $32.8 million ($680433.2 million to $713267.8 million). The additional debt is not expected to cause any bankruptcy concerns, as the company enjoys a comfortable interest coverage ratio of almost 21 times. Therefore, the repurchase program is expected to improve the company's operating results.

From Promoter’s point of view, there is a noted increase in the holdings ($66.33 million). Hence, it is beneficial and they would be in favor of it. From Non-promoter’s point of view, there is an increase in holdings resulting in increased value per share from $11.52 to $13.33. This seems favorable for the short term, but as the percentage of shares held by nonpromoters decreases significantly, they won’t be able to influence future decisions. Hence, the repurchase decision may not be favored by non-promoters if they want to hold the stocks for a long time....
