you will learn how investment banking and corporate finance professionals model
mergers and acquisitions. We’ll start with a review of the current M&A
landscape, and key M&A concepts like accretion / dilution, pricing structures
(exchange ratios/collars/”walk-away” rights), acquisition accounting, and the
step-by-step allocation of purchase price. We will then transition to the role
of the investment banker in M&A. First by looking at real pitchbooks, OMs, and
fairness opinions, and then, using Apple and Disney as our case studies, you
will build a pull-no-punches M&A model that analyzes such a merger, correctly
incorporating pro forma balance sheet and income statement adjustments. More

ADJUSTED EBITDA

While EBITDA is a popular measure of profitability, companies increasingly use
"adjusted EBITDA" to present profit and show higher EBITDA by excluding
significant line items, most notably stock based compensation. We begin by
explaining why EBITDA has become more popular than straight cash flow or GAAP
profits. We'll build upon this to judge the appropriateness of the most common
adjustments that companies now make to EBITDA. We'll use real company filings to
examine the most common adjustments today's companies make to EBITDA to show:
When using EBITDA is preferable to net income or cash flows, and when it isn't;
The rationale for adding back stock based compensation, and how this can lead to
overvaluation; The appropriate and inappropriate use of other common adjustments
to EBITDA.

BUY-SIDE STOCK ANALYSIS

How do buy-side investors make investment decisions? How do they know where to
begin? How do they pick a company to analyze? Ultimately, how do they analyze
that company and arrive at an investment thesis? Here, we take the first step
toward understanding and analyzing a stock from the perspective of a buy-side
investor.We begin with a look at the due diligence and financial analysis
process investors use to examine investment opportunities and progress to
examine the variables buyside investors consider in real life when making the
final decision on whether to “pull the trigger.”

DECONSTRUCTING INTERCOMPANY INVESTMENTS

There are some line items on a company’s financial statements that consistently
pose challenges for analysts and associates. Here, we focus on the line items on
the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement that arise when
companies make investments in other companies. Using real-life examples, we
answer the following questions: What are “non-controlling interests,” “equity
investments” and “available for sale” securities? How do non-controlling

are deferred taxes accounted for in such investments? How should models be
adjusted when investments are made at higher than book value?

technically rigorous corporate finance career paths. FP&A professionals work

by discussing: Why FP&A is critical in today's competitive business
environment; How FP&A differs from traditional finance and accounting roles; The
skills a qualified FP&A professional should possess.

EXCEL BASICS (MAC)

Proficiency in Excel is a fundamental part of the finance job description. And
while the Windows version of Excel reigns supreme on the job, in our MBA and

You’re heading to a friend’s wedding and you’re about to board your plane when
you get a call from your office saying you’ve been staffed and need to come back
ASAP. What do you do? Becoming a successful banker is not just about modeling
and technical skills. In this course, we talk about the specific tactics and

time analyzing and interpreting O&G financial statements, footnotes, and
disclosures, and on performing O&G ratio analysis.

POWERPOINT SHORTCUTS FOR INVESTMENT BANKERS

One of the first things investment banking analysts hear when they get to their
desks is the importance of mastering shortcuts in Excel. But there’s another
Microsoft program junior bankers spend even more time in that gets a fraction of
the attention: PowerPoint. In this course, you’ll gain skills that will reduce

challenges exist when working with a private company? What's different when
analyzing a private vs public company?

PRIVATE EQUITY REAL ESTATE WATERFALLS

Part 1 of this 2-part course will show you how professionals structure and
calculate waterfalls — the method in which distributions are split between
sponsor and investor. It will will cover the basics of private equity real
estate waterfalls, including: The rationale behind why waterfalls exist; Whole
fund carry vs deal-by-deal carry; Multiple hurdle rates and a Catch-up; Common
calculation mistakes to avoid; A dynamic waterfall model illustrating the
distribution of cash flows.

SKILLS FOR NEGOTIATING TRANSACTIONS

Junior bankers who aspire for advancement often struggle with the challenge of
stepping out of their technically oriented analyst/associate role and into a
more customer- and relationship-oriented role of a senior banker. "Moving from
Junior to Senior Banker: Skills for Negotiating Transactions" covers: Power and
leverage in a negotiation; When should you make the opening bid; How to counter
hardball tactics; How to deal with liars or unethical negotiators; How to break
the zero sum model and create value for your clients; The importance of framing;
How the nature of the relationship drives the negotiating style.

UNDERSTANDING ASSET V STOCK SALES

There's probably no area of M&A more challenging than understanding the
differences between deals structured as stock sales or asset sales/338
elections. We begin with an explanation of how the decision to structure a deal
as either a stock sale or an asset sale/338 election creates significant tax and
accounting implications for both buyer and seller. Next we examine the
buyer/seller benefits and drawbacks of each deal structure before showing how a
negotiation can resolve buyer/seller benefits and drawbacks. We'll conclude with
a look at the deal structure's impact on financial models.

UNDERSTANDING CORPORATE FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING

This course is meant to introduce newbies to a high level overview of financial
restructuring and set the stage for further more advanced analysis. The first
few lessons demonstrate using simple examples how companies find themselves in
distress. The next several lessons illustrate how financial restructuring can be
used to cure the distress. The last several lessons dive deeper into priorities,
valuation of firms under distress, and considerations for distressed debt
investors.

UNDERSTANDING DIVESTITURES

While mergers and acquisitions capture headlines, global spin-off transactions
quietly reached a record high of over $250 billion last year. So why would a
company want to spin off or divest a subsidiary? And how exactly is it done?
With a specific look at eBay's 2015 spin-off of PayPal, here we will examine the
value proposition of spin-offs and other popular divestiture mechanisms to
answer the following: When does a divestiture make strategic sense? How exactly
does a company carry out the separation? How do divestitures impact financial
statements? What are the tax consequences of divestitures?

UNDERSTANDING E&P HEDGING TECHNIQUES AND HOW TO MODEL THEM

Commodity prices are volatile. For companies in the business of producing or
selling commodities, revenue and cash flow forecasts rely heavily on the price
at which they can sell their commodities in the future. So heavily, in fact,
that firms aggressively use hedging strategies to protect against changes in
commodity prices. In this course designed for Oil and Gas investment banking,
private equity, and research professionals, we'll demystify how oil and gas
producers use hedges and how to adjust financial models to correctly reflect
them.

UNDERSTANDING MLPS

The rapid growth as an asset class of publicly traded partnerships known as
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) was a financial success story of the last
decade. However, given the current commodity price environment, the premise of
the MLP model has come under review. This course begins with an overview of the
MLP asset class including a look at its many sub-sectors and risks. It
progresses with a look at MLP valuation, including modeling the
accretion/dilution of an acquisition or project and understanding the tax
implications of investing in MLPs.

UNDERSTANDING PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

M&A accounting and purchase price allocation in particular are challenging
concepts for practitioners to understand and correctly implement into models. In
this webinar, we'll take the first step towards understanding the general PPA
process and procedures to answer the following: What is purchase price
allocation and how is it performed? What is the PPA impact on financial
statements? What are the key differences between PPA requirements for public
companies vs. privately-held businesses? How do we handle complexities around
various purchase considerations?

PREMIUM PACKAGE HIGHLIGHTS

INTUITIVE, SELF-PACED AND COMPREHENSIVE

Wall Street Prep's Premium Package is intuitive and self-paced. You should
expect to spend approximately 70-90 hours to complete it. Using a combination of
videos, Excel model templates and financial reports, this course teaches
students and professionals how to build, analyze, and interpret financial models
in a step-by-step fashion at their own pace. The program utilizes a case study
format, as students follow their tutorial guide alongside the Excel model
templates, and are directed to the appropriate external documents (SEC filings,
research reports, etc.) in order to build comprehensive models the way they
would on the job.

REAL WORLD "ON THE JOB" INVESTMENT BANKING TRAINING

The Premium Package bridges the gap between academics and the real world to
equip students with the practical financial skill set that they will need on the
job. Our program will give you the confidence you need to ace your interviews
and to get ahead in your IB career.

SUPPORT CENTER

Upon enrollment, students gain free and unlimited access to Wall Street Prep's
Online Support Center, where they receive answers to questions, free downloads,
and important updates from a support staff comprised entirely of experienced
former investment bankers.

PRIVATE ONLINE TUTORING (ADDITIONAL FEE APPLIES)

Want a little extra attention? Live video-chat tutoring is available with
experienced investment bankers for a fee of $800/hour. In addition, your
tutoring sessions enable you and your tutor to share models, a virtual
blackboard and any other files via an integrated web and phone platform that
enhances the learning experience.

RESUME INCLUSION

In light of the challenges facing prospective job candidates, Wall Street Prep
recently launched a free, voluntary opt-in service to all its alumni and new
students. Upon enrolling in the Premium Package, you will be given the option to
upload your resume and cover letter to WSP.


PREREQUISITES

The program assumes a basic introductory knowledge of accounting (e.g.
interaction of balance sheet, cash flow, and income statement) and proficiency
in Excel. Students with no prior background in Accounting should enroll in the
Accounting Crash Course. Students with limited experience using Excel should
enroll in the Excel Crash Course.


TRAINEE SPOTLIGHT

We use your Premium Package program to train incoming analysts and we couldn’t
be happier with the results. The learning experience of having videos
synchronized with step-by-step manuals is preferable even to a live class. We
looked at a number of options in the space and found WSP to have the most
complete offering.


— Alex Tsukernik, Managing Director, Syntella Partners

Wall Street Prep picks up where MBA programs leave off. While MBA programs focus
on theory and strategy, WSP focuses on tactics and how-to. WSP and an MBA work
very well together. I highly recommend to students that they augment their
classroom studies with a Wall Street Prep course.


— David Cass, MBA Assistant Director, Leeds School of Business

I'm a sophomore finance student at the University of London. I have only good
things to say about the course! The pace is perfect and the model templates help
a ton in facilitating and accentuating the lessons. Being a college student, I
dare even say this course is better than the lecturers at my school.


— Shaun Chia
