Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled The Effect of Mergers and Tender Offers on Stockholder Returns: The Case of Hong Kong submitted by XIE Fenying for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in February 2002 Despite the constant growth of corporate takeovers in Hong Kong during the past few years, little research has been carried out on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the region. This study explores M&As in the Hong Kong market with particular emphasis on the examination of abnormal returns around merger and tender offer announcements from 1986 to 1998. In addition to qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis with event study and cross-sectional regression techniques is included. Compared with takeovers in other developed equity markets such as the U.S., mergers and tender offers in Hong Kong exhibit some peculiar differences. The market resistance of takeovers is strong and hostile bids are rare. Ownership of most companies is highly concentrated, often within a family group, and it is closely tied with corporate control power. Capital gains in Hong Kong are not taxed. The regulatory framework for takeovers is also different, e.g. the takeover trigger point is relatively high with 35 percent in the examination period. Under this specific market background, it is found that stockholders of target firms benefit from mergers and tender offers, while stockholders of bidding firms lose. Using market model estimation, on announcement day, merger and tender offer targets both earn statistically significant positive abnormal returns of more than 3%; tender offer bidders show a significant negative abnormal return of -2.18%, whilst merger bidders obtain a positive but insignificant abnormal return of 2.15%. The cumulative average abnormal return over the entire event window, i.e. twenty days before to twenty days after the announcement date, is 8.58% for merger targets (Z statistic = 1.57), 13.75% (Z statistic = 4.97) for tender offer targets, 12.95% for total targets (Z statistic = 5.19), -5.78% (Z statistic = -1.01) for merger bidders, -8.12% (Z statistic = -2.20) for tender offer bidders, and -6.84% (Z statistic = -2.22) for total bidders. The results of market-adjusted-return models are similar. Cross-sectional analysis of the effects of various factors on cumulative abnormal returns over day -1 and day 0 is conducted for targets and bidders respectively. The results indicate that the abnormal performances of targets and bidders are independent of firm size and the mode of acquisition (i.e. merger or tender offer). The cumulative abnormal returns of targets display a strong negative association with pure cash payment and a strong positive relation with their bidders' pretakeover toehold investment. However, there is no evidence that method of financing and toehold explain variation in abnormal performance of bidding firms. Vertical acquisitions are positively related to the two-day cumulative abnormal returns at a less significant level for both target and bidding firms.

Download or read book Applied Mergers and Acquisitions written by Robert F. Bruner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 1056 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the world of mergers and acquisitions Why do so many M&A transactions fail? And what drives the success of those deals that are consummated? Robert Bruner explains that M&A can be understood as a response by managers to forces of turbulence in their environment. Despite the material failure rates of mergers and acquisitions, those pulling the trigger on key strategic decisions can make them work if they spend great care and rigor in the development of their M&A deals. By addressing the key factors of M&A success and failure, Applied Mergers and Acquisitions can help readers do this. Written by one of the foremost thinkers and educators in the field, this invaluable resource teaches readers the art and science of M&A valuation, deal negotiation, and bargaining, and provides a framework for considering tradeoffs in an effort to optimize the value of any M&A deal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With acquisition activity running into the trillions of dollars, it continues to be a favorite for corporate growth strategy, but creating shareholder value remains the most elusive outcome of these corporate strategies—after decades of research and billions of dollars paid in advisory fees, why do these major decisions continue to destroy value? Building on his groundbreaking research first cited in Business Week, Mark L. Sirower explains how companies often pay too much—and predictably never realize the promises of increased performance and competitiveness—in their quest to acquire other companies. Armed with extensive evidence, Sirower destroys the popular notion that the acquisition premium represents potential value. He provides the first formal and functional definition for synergy -- the specific increases in performance beyond those already expected for companies to achieve independently. Sirower's refreshing nuts-and-bolts analysis of the fundamentals behind acquisition performance cuts sharply through the existing folklore surrounding failed acquisitions, such as lack of "strategic fit" or corporate culture problems, and gives managers the tools to avoid predictable losses in acquisition decisions. Using several detailed examples of recent major acquisitions and through his masterful integration and extension of techniques from finance and business strategy, Sirower reveals: -The unique business gamble that acquisitions represent -The managerial challenges already embedded in current stock prices -The competitive conditions that must be met and the organizational cornerstones that must be in place for any possibility of synergy -The precise Required Performance Improvements (RPIs) implicitly embedded in acquisition premiums and the reasons why these RPIs normally dwarf realistic performance gains -The seductiveness and danger of sophisticated valuation models so often used by advisers The Synergy Trap is the first exposé of its kind to prove that the tendency of managers to succumb to the "up the ante" philosophy in acquisitions often leads to disastrous ends for their shareholders. Sirower shows that companies must meticulously plan—and account for huge uncertainties—before deciding to enter the acquisition game. To date, Sirower's work is the most comprehensive and rigorous, yet practical, analysis of the drivers of acquisition performance. This definitive book will become required reading for managers, corporate directors, consultants, investors, bankers, and academics involved in the mergers and acquisitions arena.
