Complex Securities & Derivatives

Valuation of instruments whose payoffs depend on future events, prices or decisions: warrants, convertible instruments, earnouts and embedded features. We select option-pricing, lattice or Monte Carlo methods based on each instrument's terms, and document every input for audit review.

What we value
  • Warrants and other equity-linked instruments, equity- or liability-classified

  • Awards and instruments with complex market-based vesting conditions

  • Convertible notes, SAFEs and preferred stock; debt modifications and extinguishments

  • Embedded derivatives and bifurcated features

  • Earnouts and contingent consideration, at the deal date and each remeasurement

  • SPAC and de-SPAC instruments: warrants, earnout shares, forward purchase and non-redemption agreements
