The Congressional Oversight Panel's Valuation of the TARP Warrants (A)
Posted: 21 Mar 2010

Abstract
The Congressional Oversight Panel wants to value the warrants issued to the government in connection with the TARP investments of 2008, in order to increase the transparency of options repurchases. The case describes the methodology used to value the warrants. Students have the opportunity to value warrants issued by ten of the largest banks, and to evaluate whether the Black-Scholes model can be used to value these very long-lived (ten-year) options. Can be used to teach basic option valuation using Black-Scholes, but also raise dynamic hedging issues of interest to advanced students.
