&gt;The deal values the equity at as much as $13 billion. Add assumed net debt, the cost of opioid settlements and certain other financial obligations and the total transaction value hits some $24 billion, says Walgreens.<p>Why isnt the net debt and liabilities priced into the value of the equity? Is Sycamore somehow spinning these off in the deal? If so, who is being paid to take them on?
