Abstract

This article explores the impact of the repurchase liability that arises as a result of implementing an ESOP and suggests how appraisers can handle the repurchase liability when a repurchase liability study has not been conducted. The impact on a sponsoring company's value due solely to the repurchase obligation ranged from 12% to 35% in our study.
