I think this is not a reasonable practice as for doing the valuation, there is no need to apply discounts and premiums for most items to the estimated value.

To value control, there is a need to re-value the firm with optimal management and the difference between this value and the status quo value should be the value of control.

Control premiums are popular during takeover bids, where large companies acquire a large number of shares in order to gain ownership control of the target.
