Interesting comment. KKR would had done a financial model of Vocus to determine the return of assets and the internal rate of return for purchasing Vocus at X price. This is basically an intrinsic valuation model. You statement appears a little counter intuitive. This would had been a similar model that Credit Suisse provided.
Yes everyone has an agenda. However, at the end of the day the engine which drives enterprise is not thrift but profits.
