Task prompt
What the agent was asked to do
Use the LBO model. I want some new analyses: - Decrease the “Premium” from 35.0% to 25.0% on the "LBO" tab - Decrease the “Adj. EBITDA Multiple” from 40.0x to 25.0x on the "LBO" tab - Update revenue growth constant at 15.0% per year from Year 2 through Year 5. Write out to me here: 1. Sponsor Equity Value in Year 5. 2. IRR in Year 5. Round it to the nearest million (e.g., $1,000). Report the IRR as % rounded to one decimal place.
