The VF from both sides IMO will be close and NCM to some extent hold the aces.
Some have said there could be a royalty type agreement included for future growth.
Wrong - as that would only happen if both sides sat down , negotiated and came to an agreed FV / plus.
Perhaps they did and are way out , hence the formal process which now favours NCM .
If for example NCM base then FV on what’s known and very little else ( low bid call it ) and GGP include much of what is likely to be confirmed in years ahead, the big risk is the independent a juror may easily go on the side of NCM.
I cannot believe NCM would not have already discussed/ tried to negotiate a FV with GGP even just for the opportunity to let GGP know the ball park figure that NCM will go for ( and not budge from).
Ball now in GGPs park
