Bull (10%)0%

This scenario assumes a fundamental misunderstanding, where the job seeker discovers the 'IAG Research, Inc.' offer is actually for a viable, independent company that has somehow re-emerged or is a new entity using the name. However, based on available information, IAG Research, Inc. was acquired by Nielsen in April 2008 for $225M and ceased independent operations. Therefore, equity in the original IAG Research, Inc. would have 0% upside.

Base (55%)-100%

The most likely scenario is that IAG Research, Inc. was acquired by Nielsen in April 2008 and is now fully integrated into Nielsen's operations. Any equity offer for 'IAG Research, Inc.' as an independent entity today would be invalid, resulting in a -100% outcome as the shares are effectively worthless.

Bear (35%)-100%

In the bear case, the job seeker accepts an equity offer for IAG Research, Inc. without realizing the company was acquired 18 years ago. This would lead to a complete loss of any expected equity value, representing a -100% downside, as the shares would be worthless.
