NOTE: The Management Options calculations here are not quite correct. We cannot "amend" or "update" YouTube videos, but the simplest way to fix this is to keep the "Cash from Management Options" formula the same but modify the Equity to Management Option Holders so that it is as follows: =IF(H95 Greater Than 0, -$D$11*H94, 0) With this change, the "Net Equity to Sponsor" number at the bottom is correct (the most important part), but the individual components are still slightly off. There are more accurate ways to do this if you look at our tutorial on management rollovers vs. management option pools, but this simple method is fine for a quick case study.
