Why is identifiable intangibles calculated with book value of equity and not tangible book value?

Question says it all. Why is identifiable intangibles calculated as:

>Equity purchase price - book value of equity * % identifiable intangibles

And not

>Equity purchase price - tangible book value * % identifiable intangibles

Thank you!
