You structured the deal wrong.

If the new people own 25% of the company, then the previous owners own 75%. That means that the new people should get one-third as many shares as previously existed (which you did correctly). But it also means that they should have to put up one-third as much money as the company was worth previously; that is, 133M, rather than the 100M you had them pay.

Your loss is your cut of the 33M loss that your company took by getting underpaid.
