This model simulates the gain/loss when company A issues new shares to fully acquire another company B. This is also called a full stock swap, and the Swap Ratio is the number of new shares issued in company A divided by the current number of shares in company B.

Whether this results in a gain or loss to the shareholders of the two companies, depends on how many new shares of company A that are issued to pay for company B, compared to the intrinsic values of the two companies, as well as the earnings synergies that arise from the merger. This is only a "zero-sum game" when the synergies equal the fees.

You should NOT adjust the intrinsic value for tax on dividends and capital gains, because that would distort the calculations. You also cannot specify the dividend tax in this model, because it cancels out in the formulas.

The top plots show the Intrinsic Values of the companies A and B to their current shareholders before the stock swap. Their current Market-Caps are shown as dashed blue lines, so you can easily see how they compare to the Intrinsic Values.
The bottom plot shows the earnings synergies that arise from the merger of the two companies.
