Kohler’s initial offer price of $55,400 per share may have been too low. This

price is based on the presumption that Kohler will remain a private company with the

same growth strategy and basic ownership and control structure.

before the recapitalization, a Kohler family member traded shares and received $103,600 per share.

the book value per share in

1998 was $103,629. The book value per share represents the amount of money each

shareholder would get per share if the company went under and had to liquidate.

the main reason the group of dissenters wants a higher price is for the shear

belief that the company is going to go public soon and they want their share prices to be

as high as possible so they are bought out when the company goes public. If the share

price is high when the company goes public, then they would reap a huge profit on the

value of the shares that they hold. The less the share price, the less they earn when the

company buys back from private shareholders to make an IPO offer on the free public

market.
