Problem
You are conducting diligence for the acquisition of a portfolio of renewable projects. The deal is very attractive and offers high returns. After completing the diligence, you believe there are certain risk areas, probability for which is not ascertainable at this stage, however if realized, could result in a loss of 5-10% of the value of the asset. The outcome of these risk areas will be fully known in the next 24 months. The seller recognizes that these risk areas exist but is not willing to reduce the price of the asset as these are not specific identified risks in the diligence and there is a chance that they may never materialize. Seller has instead requested you to offer other potential solutions without reducing the price of the asset. How will you move forward? Identify various potential solutions which can satisfy both parties and explain your order of preference.
