If someone would say to you: Give me 17 dollars to work with and I give you 4 dollars (EBITDA) at the end of the FY and so on. Would you do it?
You would need to agree to pay 5 dollars if performance targets are met over the subsequent years.

As an alternative, you would need to give the CBA banker 100 dollars to get 4 dollars back; and no performance targets. Would you prefer that?

The comparison is utterly crude, but it highlights how attractive the acquisition looks.

So far, most shareholders have given millions of cents and saw no profit (except for the last C4). Without the acquisition, there would be less growth and lower profit prospects for HLF.

As far as the figures are concerned, the strategy fit for HLF, the synergies, the branded product opportunities - this looks really good for HLF.

... of course all above assumptions need to stack up.
