What exactly is being valued, and at what

What it is being valued atSEC-primary — the filed capitalisation table

What the filings actually value

They are not the same fact, and only the last one is what a valuation multiple may be struck on.

Pre-money equity value of the target$800M

What Trasteel Holding S.A. on its own is valued at, before a dollar of the SPAC's trust or the PIPE reaches it. This is the price agreed for the business itself.

Pro-forma enterprise value$1,300M

The combined company net of that cash — what the buyers are paying for the BUSINESS. Every multiple below is struck on this figure and on nothing else.

What that price is, per dollar of sales

Enterprise value ÷ EBITDA — not shown

No EBITDA figure for Trasteel Holding S.A. appears in any filing we hold, so no EV/EBITDA multiple is shown. We have not inferred one from a margin assumption — a multiple built on an assumed margin measures the assumption, not the company.

All figures above are stated in EX-99 press release0001213900-26-043006opens on sec.gov in a new tab

EX-99 press release, 0001213900-26-043006: preMoneyEquityM "$800 million"; proFormaEnterpriseValueM "approximately $1.3 billion" — the sponsor rounding its own figure. A press release is a party's own claim, not a filed table: any stated capitalisation table supersedes it.

Was this deal done at an expensive or a cheap valuation?

SpacBrain’s read on the price

No multiple can be computed

We hold no revenue figure in US dollars for Trasteel Holding S.A., so there is nothing to divide the price by and no multiple can be struck. It is not recorded as pre-revenue either — this is a gap in our record, not a finding that the company has no sales. The deal values it at $1.3bn regardless.

We have not extracted a revenue figure for this company from its filings yet. That is our gap, not a statement about the business.
