As far as I remember, there was debate around that valuation. "Early investors filed suit in New York against FanDuel's board for breach of fiduciary duty in allegedly undervaluing FanDuel to enrich themselves." ( FanDuel Wikipedia ) There was some unusual relationships in the deal, and the valuation of the company post-purchase was dramatically larger. Not sure if suit is public, but article: "The new lawsuit claims that the board – which allegedly included only one independent director and six directors tied to KKR and Shamrock – priced the value of FanDuel’s stake in the merged company at about $559 million. That number, the suit alleges, was no coincidence. Under FanDuel’s operative bylaws, preferred shareholders were due to receive all of the first $559 million from any merger."[1] [1] https://www.reuters.com/article/us-otc-fanduel/fanduel-founders-spin-juicy-tale-in-suit-against-kkr-shamrock-the-funds-have-a-different-story-idUSKCN20K38Z https://www.reuters.com/article/us-otc-fanduel/fanduel-found...
