Answer

  • A Market capitalisation plus net debt

Explanation

Enterprise value values the whole company, including the part financed with debt. Net debt is added to market capitalisation; more precise calculations also take into account minority interests and pension provisions, for example. A buyer would have to take over the debt as well as the shares.
