Abstract
There is uncertainty about how best to determine the final payoff at maturity of various BEE transactions entered into by a number of South African companies. This thesis attempts to develop a method which will price these transactions accurately based on a sample of transactions entered into between 2004 and 2011. The primary valuation methods which will be used are Real Options Valuations, Risk–Neutral Valuations, Implied Trinomial Tree Valuations and valuations performed using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. Various amendments to each of these methods are introduced in order to correct for pricing biases inherent in each valuation model.
