Task prompt
What the agent was asked to do
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. Round NPV per share to 2 decimal places. Round percentages to 1 decimal place. Create an xlsx that has all of your results.
