Cash Free Debt Free Question

Hey all - I haven't found great resources on this so wanted to see if folks here had any thoughts. 

I am prepping for recruiting and was wondering how the sources, uses, and pro-forma balance sheet adjustments would be for a cash-free debt-free deal with a revolver balance at close and a revolver commitment fee.

Would appreciate any insights - I seem to be tripping up with this.

Source: debt and equity / use: enterprise purchase price, fees, min cash - notice no cash from BS as a source and no debt refi as a use, hence cash free debt free. Revolver commit fee would be included in projected interest expense, but not in the fees on uses, since those are underwriting and advisory fees, while commit fee is effectively interest on the unused line.

Sources: No change

Uses: There would be no refinancing from Net Debt

PFA: In order to get to Allocable Purchase Premium, you would need to bridge from Purchase EV to Purchase EqV before adding current book value of equity and deducting current interest. The bridge to PF Goodwill will be the same.

Feel free to ask follow up questions if anything unclear…
