  • Mergers & Acquisitions
    MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS INTRODUCTION Why merge? Why sell? 1. A division of a company might no longer fit into larger corp’s plans, so corp sells division 2. Infighting between owners of corp. Sell and split proceeds 3. Incompetent management or ownership 4. Need money 5. Business is declining 6. Industry-specific conditions 7. Economies of scale BASIC DEFINITIONS: MERGER: Owners of separate, roughly equal sized firms pool their interests in a single firm. Surviving firm takes on the assets and liabilities of the selling firm. PURCHASE: Purchasing firm pays for all the assets or all the stock of the selling firm. Distinction between a purchase and a merger depends on the final position of the shareholders of the constituent firms. TAKEOVER: A stock purchase offer in which the acquiring firm buys a controlling block of stock in the target. This enables purchasers to elect the board of directors. Both hostile and friendly takeovers exist. FREEZE-OUTS (also SQUEEZE-OUTS or CASH-OUTS): Transactions that eliminate minority SH interests. HORIZONTAL MERGERS: Mergers between competitors. This may create monopolies. Government responds by enacting Sherman Act and Clayton Act VERTICAL MERGERS: Mergers between companies which operate at different phases of production (e.g. GM merger with Fisher Auto Body.) Vertical mergers prevents a company from being held up by a supplier or consumer of goods. LEVERAGED BUYOUTS (LBOs): A private group of investors borrows heavily to finance the purchase control of an ongoing business. RECAPITALIZATIONS: Does not involve the combination of two separate entities. Here, a firm reshuffles its capital structure. In a SWAP, the corp takes back outstanding equity stocks in return for other types of securities (usually long term bonds or preferred stock) RESTRUCTURINGS: This term refers to a corporation’s changing form to downsize their operations.

  • Paper-18: Business Valuation Management
    Group-IV : Paper-18 : Business Valuation Management [ December ¯ 2011 ] 33 Q. 20. X Ltd. is considering the proposal to acquire Y Ltd. and their financial information is given below : Particulars X Ltd. Y Ltd. No. of Equity shares 10,00,000 6,00,000 Market price per share (Rs.) 30 18 Market Capitalization (Rs.) 3,00,00,000 1,08,00,000 X Ltd. intend to pay Rs. 1,40,00,000 in cash for Y Ltd., if Y Ltd.’s market price reflects only its value as a separate entity. Calculate the cost of merger: (i) When merger is financed by cash (ii) When merger is financed by stock. Answer 20. (i) Cost of Merger, when Merger is Financed by Cash = (Cash - MVY) + (MVY - PVY) Where, MVY = Market value of Y Ltd. PVY = True/intrinsic value of Y Ltd. Then, = (1,40,00,000 – 1,08,00,000) + (1,08,00,000 – 1,08,00,000) = Rs. 32,00,000 If cost of merger becomes negative then shareholders of X Ltd. will get benefited by acquiring Y Ltd. in terms of market value. (ii) Cost of Merger when Merger is Financed by Exchange of Shares in X Ltd. to the shareholders of Y Ltd. Cost of merger = PVXY - PVY Where, PVXY = Value in X Ltd. that Y Ltd.’s shareholders get. Suppose X Ltd. agrees to exchange 5,00,000 shares in exchange of shares in Y Ltd., instead of payment in cash of Rs. 1,40,00,000. Then the cost of merger is calculated as below : = (5,00,000 × Rs.

  • The Role of Stock Liquidity in Mergers and Acquisitions: Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment*
    The Role of Stock Liquidity in Mergers and Acquisitions: Evidence from a Quasi-natural Experiment* Nishant Dass Georgia Institute of Technology Email: [email protected] Sheng Huang Singapore Management University Email: [email protected] Johan Maharjan Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Email: [email protected] Vikram Nanda University of Texas at Dallas Email: [email protected] May 2016 *We thank Itay Goldstein, Todd Gormley, Jarrad Harford, and seminar participants at Singapore Management University and Tshinghua University for helpful comments. All remaining errors are our own. The Role of Stock Liquidity in Mergers and Acquisitions: Evidence from a Quasi-natural Experiment Abstract We examine how stock liquidity – of both acquirers and targets – affects acquisitions. We contend, relying on a simple model, that liquidity enhances acquirer stock value as an acquisition currency, especially when target stock is less liquid. Supportive of this acquisition-currency hypothesis: greater acquirer (lower target) liquidity increases acquisition likelihood and payment with stock, reduces acquisition premium, and improves acquirer announcement returns in equity deals. Our identification strategy relies on the exogenous variation in stock liquidity induced by changes in the composition of Russell-1000/2000 indices to establish causality. Consistent with the beneficial role of stock liquidity, firms take steps to improve stock liquidity prior to acquisitions. JEL classification: G30, G34 Keywords: Stock liquidity, mergers and acquisitions, Russell index reconstitution “The Covance board also discussed with Goldman Sachs [its financial advisor] the liquid market for LabCorp stock, which would allow Covance stockholders to either keep or trade the stock portion of the consideration.” From Board of Directors of Covance Inc.
