Under the terms of the agreement, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own for a total transaction value of approximately $4 billion. The transaction values Marvel shares at approximately $50 per share, based on the $26.84 closing price of Walt Disney stock the day prior to the announcement. The average closing price of Walt Disney stock for the six month period prior to the announcement is approximately $2260… per share.
