The firm Amble is entirely financed by equity. It has 4 million shares and a current share price of $8. It is public knowledge that the firm's current management is inefficient and the firm's share price would be $11 if well managed. Amble's shares are owned entirely by small shareholders. The administrative costs to acquire Amble would be $0.14 million. An acquirer can gain control of the firm and manage it efficiently if they can purchase at least 51% of its shares. Assume the market is semi-strong form efficient. (a) Lawson, an entrepreneur, can secretly buy 5% of Amble's shares at the current market price, then make a public bid for a further 46% of the total number of shares at $11 each. What is Lawson's profit? Will the takeover go ahead? Explain. (b) Assume that Lawson implements the strategy described in part (a). Amble has made a provision that when a potential acquirer reaches a holding of 16% of its shares, all shareholders except the acquirer will be able to buy one new…
Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell currently has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its current beta is 1.60 (i.e., based on its target capital structure). Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.8%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the market risk premium is 8%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 35% tax rate. Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell's free cash flows to be $2.5 million, $3.0 million, $3.5 million, and $3.85 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a constant 5% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell's $10.31 million in debt (which has a 7.8% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments will be $1.5 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After Year 3, a target capital structure of…

McNabb Enterprises is considering going private through a leveraged buyout by management. Management currently owns 21 percent of the 5 million shares outstanding. Market price per share is $20, and it is felt that a 40 percent premium over the present price will be necessary to entice public shareholders to tender their shares in a cash offer. Management intends to keep its shares and to obtain senior debt equal to 80 percent of the funds necessary to consummate the buyout. The remaining 20 percent will come from junior subordinated debentures. Terms on the senior debt are 2 percent above the prime rate with principal reductions of 20 percent of the initial loan at the end of each of the next five years. The junior subordinated debentures bear a 13 percent interest rate and must be retired at the end of six years with a single balloon payment. The debentures have warrants attached that enable the holders to purchase 30 percent of the stock at the end of the sixth year. Management…
Galaxy Corporation is proposing a recapitalization that would increase its debt level and interest cost. The company will sell new bonds and repurchase shares of its common stock with the proceeds. According to the company's CFO, the initiative will not affect net assets or operating profits, but it will raise earnings per share (EPS). Which of the following statements is CORRECT, assuming the CFO's calculations are correct? * Since the proposed plan raises Galaxy's financial risk, the company's stock price can fall even if EPS rises. More bonds will be issued under the plan, increasing their liquidity and, as a result, lowering the interest rate on the bonds that are currently outstanding. Since the plan is expected to raise EPS, net income is also expected to grow. If the strategy succeeds in increasing EPS, the stock price would rise at the same rate. If the plan decreases the WACC, the stock price is likely to fall as well.
Systems has 6.45 billion shares outstanding and a share price of $17.25. Quisco is considering developing a new networking product in-house at a cost of $497 million. Alternatively, Quisco can acquire a firm that already has the technology for $899 million worth (at the current price) of Quisco stock. Suppose that absent the expense of the new technology, Quisco will have EPS of $0.828. a. Suppose Quisco develops the product in-house. What impact would the development cost have onQuisco's EPS? Assume all costs are incurred this year and are treated as an R&D expense, Quisco's tax rate is 40 %, and the number of shares outstanding is unchanged. b. Suppose Quisco does not develop the product in-house but instead acquires the technology. What effect would the acquisition have on Quisco's EPS this year? (Note that acquisition expenses do not appear directly on the income statement. Assume the firm was acquired at the start of the year and has no revenues or expenses of its own, so that the…
