Merger model questions: pass through entity (S corp) into C corp
Hi all,
I'm working on a merger model for a merger between a pass through entity(S corp) and C corp, and I find myself in unfamiliar territory. Can any of you point me in the direction of materials on the subject? A couple questions I have:
correct process for normalizing historical S corp earnings for owner's compensation (not included above the line in their historical financials) - and most importantly - how to adjust (or if i should adjust) historical financials for taxes (should I apply C corps tax rate to S corps past financials?)
determining optimal deal structure (taxable/non-taxable)
If you know of a good resource/reference on the topic, I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks, Ven

StatementStudies.com and other resources provide you with benchmark data regarding compensation. You can also contact ERI. They perform studies for this very thing, by region.
Typically I include a PTE benefit, but for a merger you'll have to compare apples to apples. I would make normalizations and then tax effect the earnings unless their is a specific tax play that they're aiming for. Make sure you don't leave money on the table.
