    Model out the NPV of distributions shareholders would receive under REIT conversion. - There's the $1.2 billion E&P purge that gets taxed as ordinary income at 37% (E&P purge occurs at Year 0, annual distributions occur at end of Years 1–5). - There are ongoing REIT dividends in the $650-750mm range that qualify for the 20% Section 199A deduction. - Apply 199A only to annual REIT distributions; do not apply 199A to the E&P purge (tax purge at 37%). - Run sensitivities across 10%, and 12% discount rates over a 5-year horizon. Show discount rates vs distribution levels, populated with respective after-tax NPV per share. Then, show me the base case NPV as a percentage of both the strategic offer and current trading price.

    Using the REIT model, recalculate the fair value of Golden Everest with C-Corp status using a three-stage unlevered DCF. For Stage 1, use the unlevered cash flows from 2025E to 2029E on the “Projections (C-Corp)” tab. Assume the valuation date is December 1, 2025 and use the midyear adjustment approach for Stage 1, which assumes CFs are generated halfway through each period rather than at period-end for any partial periods. For Stage 2, grow unlevered FCF at a 5% annual pace for 12 years until 2041). For stage 3, use a perpetuity growth rate of 1%. Assume WACC is 11%. For present value calculations, use a 365 day count. Get me back (1) present value of stage 1 cash flows; (2) present value of stage 2 cash flows; (3) present value of terminal value; and (4) equity value per share.
