A new Chief Executive Officer, Jo Duwitt has been appointed to the board of Complex Solutions plc., a large public corporation.
You are the assistant to Jo who has requested a 2000 word report on issues that are on the agenda for the next board meeting.
The appropriate dividend to be set for the year.
The appropriate level of debt for Complex Solutions
Consideration of a report from an investment bank giving several different measures
of valuation for Complex Solutions, some of which are above and others below the current share price. This is in relation to a bid that has been made by BigBets plc for Complex Solutions that offers a premium on the current share price.
Write a concise, clearly worded and structured advisory report in three roughly equal parts offering sufficient background on each of these questions for Jo to be able to understand the issues and comment on them. The intention is to prepare Jo to make an intelligent contribution to the board’s discussions. You may also suggest (within the word limit) a short set of questions and data that would be useful for giving more definite advice. In addition, you may, if you wish, recommend and very briefly summarise ONE useful SHORT article to increase understanding of one of the four issues; if so please embed the link in your report.
