Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Takeovers of privately-held targets have outnumbered takeovers of publicly-traded targets over the years. This dissertation focuses on takeover activities of privately-held targets and examines several important issues which have never been touched on in the literature. The first essay examines the factors that determine the choice between a privately-held target and a publicly-traded target. After the size of the target and the prevalence of private firms in each industry in each year are controlled for, I find that the stock bidder tends to target a privately-held firm and the cash bidder tends to target a publicly-traded firm when pursuing a high-tech target. When acquiring a firm in the same industry and being inexperienced in takeover activities, the bidder is more likely to target a publicly-traded firm as opposed to a privately-held firm. The passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) also has an affect on the choice of a privately-held target or a publicly-traded target; everything else being equal, the cash bidder is more likely choose to acquire a private firm while the stock bidder is less likely to choose a private firm upon the introduction of SOX. The second essay examines the factors that influence the choice of stock versus cash payment in takeovers of privately-held targets. Stock is found to be more frequently used among takeovers in which the bidding firm has more debt and less free cash flow prior to the deal, the target is a high-tech firm, and the target management is retained in the combined entity. In addition, since the adoption of SOX, cash has been used more frequently and to greater extent among the sample of takeovers of privately-held targets. The third essay examines the effects of restrictions on resale of stock issued in takeovers on the bidder's wealth effect and long-run stock price performance. I find that restrictions on resale of stock are more popular among takeovers of privately-held targets as compared to takeovers of publicly-traded targets. Restrictions on resale are found to be positively related to the bidder's announcement abnormal return and negatively related to the bidder's long-run stock price performance.

Abstract: This thesis consists of two essays in corporate finance, one on newly listed firms' post-IPO activities as acquisition targets and the other on corporate executive compensation. In the first essay, I examine a large sample of U.S. newly listed firms to analyze their likelihood of becoming a takeover target. I find that 27 percent of newly listed firms are acquired within five years after the IPO, which is compared with the seasoned-firm counterpart of 17 percent. This difference is economically large, statistically significant, and robust to various firm and market characteristics controls. Several recent studies have reported newly listed firms' active activities as an acquirer. Contributing to this literature, my finding further identifies an active role of IPO firms as a takeover target. My finding is consistent with the presumed motivation of firms' going public for a "double-exit" strategy: To sell the shares through a takeover after the company goes public. Economic rationales for this strategy include advantages from auctioning off a minority stake to dispersed shareholders and more efficient bargaining in takeover negotiations due to increased share liquidity and reduced uncertainty after the IPO. Therefore, going public can be an optimal first step in the process of selling a company. In further support of this motivation, I find that IPO firms, as an acquisition target, receive higher takeover premiums than do comparable privately held targets and seasoned target firms. In conclusion, my findings are consistent with the double-exit strategy predicted by theory, suggesting that IPOs facilitate subsequent sales of the companies and that the strategy is economically justified. In the second essay, I study executive compensation under the Japanese corporate governance system. In March 2010, the Japanese regulator enacted the first legislation regarding the disclosure of director compensation to named individuals. With access to the first publicly available data for Japanese executives, I document comprehensive evidence on the level, structure, and mechanisms of CEO compensation. My findings reveal Japanese practices in CEO pay that differ from the well-known Anglo-American model in significant ways. Its distinct features include base salary dominance and unusually low levels of pay and pay variation. I also identify significant impacts on the compensation system of corporate governance and U.S. influence factors, such as keiretsu groups, financial institutions, US-style compensation committees, and cross-listing on US stock exchanges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judging by the sheer number of papers reviewed in this Handbook, the empirical analysis of firms’ financing and investment decisions—empirical corporate finance—has become a dominant field in financial economics. The growing interest in everything “corporate is fueled by a healthy combination of fundamental theoretical developments and recent widespread access to large transactional data bases. A less scientific—but nevertheless important—source of inspiration is a growing awareness of the important social implications of corporate behavior and governance. This Handbook takes stock of the main empirical findings to date across an unprecedented spectrum of corporate finance issues, ranging from econometric methodology, to raising capital and capital structure choice, and to managerial incentives and corporate investment behavior. The surveys are written by leading empirical researchers that remain active in their respective areas of interest. With few exceptions, the writing style makes the chapters accessible to industry practitioners. For doctoral students and seasoned academics, the surveys offer dense roadmaps into the empirical research landscape and provide suggestions for future work. *The Handbooks in Finance series offers a broad group of outstanding volumes in various areas of finance *Each individual volume in the series should present an accurate self-contained survey of a sub-field of finance *The series is international in scope with contributions from field leaders the world over

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family firms are of particular importance for many economies. We know little about family firm buyouts and how they are different from non-family firm buyouts. Oliver Ahlers investigates this under-researched topic. After a comprehensive literature review on family firm buyouts, the focus of his book is on the key steps of the investment process such as family firm valuation and negotiations between PE investors and family sellers. Additionally, it is investigated how “soft factors” such as trust, reputation or commitment could play an important role when PE and family firms interact. Throughout the book, differences between family and non-family firm buyouts are highlighted.
