The petitioners owned shares of Class A common stock in Regal Entertainment Group. Under the agreement and plan of merger that governed the transaction, each share of Regal common stock was converted into the right to receive $23 per share in cash. The petitioners sought appraisal and litigated the case. The parties presented three valuation indicators for the court’s consideration. The petitioners argued in favor of a discounted cash flow methodology, which they maintained supports a fair value of $33.83 per share. Cineworld responded that the court should not consider a DCF model and argued instead for relying on Regal’s unaffected trading price and the deal price minus synergies.
