,MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
The past lectures have provided insights into how firms
finance themselves
The follow up question is: what do they do with the money
An important reason why firms need financing is to
participate in mergers and acquisitions.
How are M&As financed?
Cash Mostly done with cash and stock
Stock
Debt? Eg. LBO’s
What affects using cash/stock (depends on the height of stock price)
Relates to capital structure theory (high stock price want to pay with shares instead of cash)
Market timing or adverse selection (stock price high, more likely to pay with equity)
