Mergers, Acquisitions & Restructuring - CA Final SFM

Acquisition: - An acquisition is when both the acquiring and acquired companies are still left standing as separate entities at the end of the transaction.
Merger: - A merger results in the legal dissolution of one of the companies.
Consolidation: - A consolidation dissolves both the parties and creates a new one into which the previous entities are merged.

Types of Merger
Horizontal Merger: - The two companies which have merged are in the same the Industries.
Vertical Merger: - This happens when two companies that have ‘buyer – seller’ relationship (or potential buyer – seller relationship) come together.
Conglomerate Merger: - Such merger involves firms engaged in unrelated type of business operation.
Congeneric Merger: - In these mergers, the acquired and the target companies are related through basic technologies, production process or market.
Reverse Merger: - Such merger involves acquisition of a public (Shell Company) by a private company.

Reasons for Mergers and Acquisitions
Synergistic operating economic: - synergy may be defined as
V(AB) > V(A) + V(B)
The difference between the combined value and the stand value of target and Acquire is attributable to synergy.
Net gain is the value of synergy – premium paid
Premium Paid = Price paid over the market value + other costs of integration.
Diversification: - In case of merger between two unrelated companies would lead to reduction in business risk.
Taxation: - The provision of set off and carry forward of losses as per Income Tax Act may be another strong reason for merger and acquisition.
Growth: - The Acquiring Company avoids delays such attached with purchasing of building, site, and setting up of the plant and hiring personal etc.
Consolidation of Production Capacities and increasing market power: - Due to reduced competition marketing power increases and also the production capacities are increased by combined of two or more plants.

Exchange/Swap Ratio
If Deals is based on EPS then,
Swap Ratio = (EPS of Target) / (EPS of Acquirer)
If Deals is based on MPS then,
Swap Ratio = (MPS of Target) / (MPS of Target)

If Deal is based on Book Value per Share (BVPS) then,
Swap Ratio = (BVPS of Target) / (BVPS of Acquirer)

Note: -
If Deal is based on EPS then there would be no Gain/Loss to shareholders of both companies in earning them. It means if Deal happens in any other ration other than EPS then one party would gain and another party will lose in term. The above concept is applicable only when there 100% stocks deal. Both parties can gain in terms of market value terms.


Minimum and Maximum Exchange Ratio
Minimum Exchange Ratio is the minimum Expectation of Target to get amount or share so that there would be no loss to target in terms of EPS or MPS.

Maximum Exchange Ratio is the ability of acquirer to pay to target company that amount which would do not results to lose in the value of EPS or MPS term.

S. No.
Formula
1.
Maximum Exchange Ratio in Terms of EPS
EPSold =
Earning of Acquirer + Earning of Target + Synergy Gain
No. of Share Outstanding of Acquirer + (No. of Share Outstanding of Target X ER)
2.
Maximum Exchange Ratio in Terms of MPS
MPSold =
Market Value of Acquirer + Market Value of Target + Synergy  Gain
No. of Share Outstanding of Acquirer + (No. of Share Outstanding of Target X ER)  
3.
Minimum Exchange Ratio in Terms of EPS
EPSold =
(Earning of Acquirer + Earning of Target + Synergy Gain)  x ER
No. of Share Outstanding of Acquirer + (No. of Share Outstanding of Target X ER)
4.
Minimum Exchange Ratio in Terms of MPS
MPSold =
(Market Value of Acquirer + Market Value of Target + Synergy  Gain)  x ER
No. of Share Outstanding of Acquirer + (No. of Share Outstanding of Target X ER)  

Free Float Capital
Shares Held by Public is known as free float shares.

Free Float Market Capitalization = Free Float Shares X Share Price

Non – Free Float Capital
Shares held by promoter are known as non- free float shares.

Non- free Float Market Capitalization = Share Held by Promoters X Share Price

Total Market Capitalization = Free Float Market Capitalization + Non Free Float Market Capitalization


Accretion – Dilution Analysis
If Post Acquisition EPS increase we call deal is Accretive.
If Post Acquisition EPS decrease we call deal is dilutive.
If a high P/E Ratio Acquires a low P/E Ratio by issue of shares then Deal would be Accretive (increase in EPS) for Acquirer and dilutive (decrease in EPS) for target.


Value of Acquisition = Post Acquisition – Pre Acquisition Value of Merged Entity

  1. JCF capital advisors California, JCF capital advisors services If your company has been through an acquisition or merger, you already know that the different cultures of the companies involved always make the situation challenging. In hostile takeovers, it can prove devastating. Employees often find that the behaviors previously rewarded by their company can sometimes result in demotion or dismissal. Performance criteria change, as do the people measuring the performance.
