Citigroup then calculated a range of terminal value of DouYu (after taking into account the effects of the Reassignment) at the conclusion of the projection period ending 2024 by applying a range of multiples from 10.0x to 12.2x to the projected EBITDA of DouYu (after taking into account the effects of the Reassignment) in the terminal year, based on financial projections prepared by DouYus management. The range of multiples was selected based on the 2021E Firm Value/Adjusted EBITDA multiples of the selected companies. The present value of such cash flows and terminal values were then calculated assuming a valuation date of September30, 2020, and using discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 12.8% based on Citigroups professional judgment and experience, to reflect the weighted average costs of capital, referred to as the WACC, of DouYu. The calculation of the present value of the projected unlevered, after tax free cash flows and the range of terminal values indicated an estimated firm value for DouYu of $3,885million to $4,784million. Based on this estimated firm value range, Citigroup estimated the range of implied adjusted equity value of DouYu to be $4,610million to $5,510million by adding the cash and cash equivalents and long-term investments of DouYu and subtracting non-controlling interests in companies consolidated by DouYu, the DouYu Closing Dividend and the consideration for the Reassignment. Based on the foregoing, the discounted cash flow analysis indicated an implied adjusted equity value reference range of $138.2 to $165.1 per DouYu Share (calculated on a fully diluted basis).
