Yatra merges into TRTL for $218 million valuation! OR is it $87 million?

Just read this new (link to full story on ET below) – Yatra Online, Inc., an India-based online travel agent, and Terrapin 3 Acquisition Corporation (TRTL), announced on Thursday that they have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in a transaction that values Yatra at an enterprise value of $218 million.

Correct me if I’m wrong – Wasn’t TRTL smart to get Yatra merged for just $87 million?

Yatra shareholders get $80 million MAX in cash; Plus $7 million [35% of $20 million which goes into combined company]
Plus $35 million ‘in air’ [based on 18 month targets – consider it vapour?]

In effect, Yatra with $900 million txn value annually went for a song!

Am I missing something? Alok, your help needed 🙂

Best regards,
