The transaction values the company at a $1.2bn enterprise value based on the numbers at the end of February. We believe HP may end up paying $1.4bn in equity value based on our projected cash balance for Palm of approximately $350mm by the expected close of the transaction, HP's F3Q10 ending July 31, 2010."
