“Valuation methodology and risks. We value Acer using a composite risk-adjusted net present value (rNPV) approach, which employs a 15% discount rate and 30% tax rate, while ascribing a 60% and 50% probability of success to ACER-001 in MSUD and UCDs, respectively. This yields a total rNPV of $170M. Assuming about 16.4M fully-diluted shares outstanding as of end-1Q 2020, this translates into a price objective of $10.00 per share.”
