Brief Financial Management excursion for Share holders (1)
Mergers & Take-Overs can take place in several ways. If “A-plc” (investor) has decided that its business can profitably be combined with that of “B-plc”, it can:
(a)§buy the assets of B for cash. B would then be wound up and its shareholders would receive the proceeds.
(b)§Buy the shares of B for cash. This has much the same implications as (a) for the existing shareholders of B but B retains its legal identity which, if it has a well-known name, may be valuable.
(c)§acquire the shares of B, by exchanging for them, on an agreed basis, new shares of its own. The previous shareholders of B then become shareholder in A.
(d)§form a holding company, e.g. C, to issue its own shares in exchange for the shares of both A and B. All existing shareholders of both companies then become shareholders in C.
Some mixture of methods might be used, e.g. acquisition of shares partly on an exchange basis for cash. However, probably (c) is the most common form of a merger.
There are various ways for the “Financial Basis for the Merge or Take-Over”:
1.§Net asset value = Value attributed to equity / Number of ordinary shares
2.§Earnings per share = Total earnings attributed to equity / Number of shares
3.§Market value = the current market price of “A’s shares” and “B’s shares” in relation in order to maintain market value of any individual’s holding.
4.§Financial Analysis = Earnings of B / Cost of Capital

The new investor A does, of course, have an interest to keep B share value as low as possible in order to “pay” as little as possible for B.
