Introduction
Impact Of Restructuring On Corporate Performance
• A study that covers some data from 5000 firms over the 1980s has
attempted to investigate restructuring impact on market & economic
performance.
• The study reveals that LBOs result in greatest performance
improvement
• Spin off has a high probability of improving performance, but likely to be
much more modest than LBO
• Aggressive M&A activities, yielded returns slightly below the returns
realized from no transactions

Mergers & Acquisitions
Merger Motivations
• Synergy
• Tax considerations
• Purchase of assets below their replacement cost
• Diversification
• Managers’ personal incentives
Types Of Mergers
• Horizontal
• Vertical

Hostile Vs. Friendly Takeover
• Acquiring company identifies a possible target
• Acquiring firm’s managers decide how to approach the target firm:
• Friendly takeover: management of target firm accepts merger
• Hostile takeover: management of target firm does not accept
merger
• In friendly takeover, the target firm’s management recommends the
merger to its stockholders
• In hostile takeover, the acquiring firm makes a direct appeal to the
target firm’s stockholders
• In both cases, the stockholders are asked to tender their shares to a
designated financial institution that transfers ownership of the shares to
the acquiring firm

• Market multiple analysis
• Corporate valuation model

Merger Analysis: Setting The Bid Price
• The ceiling price is the target firm’s post merger value as estimated
earlier
• The minimum price is the target firm’s pre-merger value of equity as an
independent operating company
• The gap between the post merger value and the value of equity
represents the synergistic benefits expected from the merger
• The actual price will be set somewhere in the gap, depending on many
factors

Divestiture
• Divestiture is the distribution of a company's assets or a
business segment by sale, liquidation or other acquisition
arrangement .
• Asset sale
– The sale of an entire division or unit.
• Spin-off
– Existing stockholders are given new stock representing
separate ownership rights in the division that was divested.
• Crave-out
– Minority interest in a corporate subsidiary is sold to new
shareholders .
• Liquidation
– Assets of a division are sold off piecemeal, rather than as an
operating entity.

Reasons for Divestiture
• Dismantling segments which had higher values as independent
operations .
• Sale of original business due to changing opportunities.
• Divestiture to finance major acquisitions .
• Divestiture of unrelated divisions to focus on core businesses.
• Discarding unwanted businesses from prior acquisitions.
• Divestiture used as a takeover defence.
• Divestiture of low margin product lines to improve margins and
profitability .

Examples of Divestitures
• PEPSI
– Spinning-off its fast-food business, which included Pizza
Hut, Taco Bell, and Kentucky fried chicken.
– To focus on its core business.
– Signing long-term contracts that ensure that Pepsi products
will be sold exclusively in each of the three spun-off chains.
• United Airlines
– Selling Hilton international hotels subsidiary and Hertz rental
car unit .
– To maintain the company’s focus in the highly competitive
airline industry .

Financial Restructure
• Financial restructuring relates to improvements in the capital
structure of the firm. An example of financial restructuring would be
to add debt to lower the corporation's overall cost of capital.
• Leveraged Recapitalizations
– Additional debt to pay a large dividend or repurchasing shares .
• Dual-class recapitalization
– A second class of common stock that has limited voting rights in
the form of a higher dividend.
– Securing liquidity without sacrificing control.
• Exchange offers
– Giving one or more classes of claimholders the option to trade
their holdings for a different class of securities of the firm .

Bankruptcy
• Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of
an individual or organization to pay their creditors.
• Financial distress:
– Temporary and permanent cash problem.
– Agreement with creditors to recover.
– Is the company “worth more dead than alive”?
– Should the firm file for protection under chapter 11 of the
bankruptcy.
– should it try to use informal procedures?
– Who should control the firm while it is being liquidated or
rehabilitated?

Bankruptcy
• Informal reorganization
– For temporary financial difficulties.
– Workouts to restructure the firm the debt.
– Extension, creditors postpone the date of required interest or
principal payments.
– Composition, creditors voluntarily reduce their fixed claims on
the debtor or equity in exchange for debt.
– Simple, and also relatively inexpensive because legal and
administrative expenses are held at minimum.
– Result in the largest return to creditors.

Bankruptcy
• Informal Liquidation
– Firm is more valuable dead than alive.
– Assignment, an informal procedure for liquidating a firm .
– An assignment calls for title to the debtor’s assets to be
transferred to a third party, known as an assignee.
– The assignee is instructed to liquidate the assets through a
private sale or public auction and then to distribute the proceeds
among the creditors on a pro rata basis.
– Assignments are feasible only if the firm is small.

Bankruptcy
• Federal Bankruptcy
– Company to be filed for court protection under chapter 11.
– Attempting to reorganize under the supervision of a bankruptcy
court.
– Formal bankruptcy proceedings are designed to protect both the
firm and its creditors .
– Creditors can use bankruptcy procedures to stop the firms’
managers from continuing to operate & loose more money.
– A trustee will be appointed to take over the company.
– If no feasible reorganization can be worked out, the bankruptcy
judge will order that the firm be liquidated under procedures
spelled out in chapter 7 .
– Fraud and holdout problem.

Bankruptcy
• Criticisms of Bankruptcy laws
– Large public corporations with the ability to hire high-priced legal
help can avoid, or at least delay, liquidation, often at the
expense of creditors and shareholders.
– Critics believe that bankruptcy is great especially for consultants,
lawyers, and investment bankers, who gain fees during
bankruptcy proceedings, and for managers, who continue to
collect their salaries and bonuses as long as the business is kept
alive.
– Companies operating under the protection of chapter 11 can
damage or even bankrupt their otherwise healthy competitors.

Leveraged Buyouts (LBO)
• It is the takeover of a company, financed by borrowed funds.
• The investors group usually include current management.
• The target company's assets are used as security for the loans
acquired to finance the purchase.
• The acquiring company or group then repays the loans from the target
company's profits or by selling its assets.
• Generally the acquiring group plans to run the acquired company for a
number of years, boost its sales and profit, and then take it public
again as a stronger company.

Leveraged Buyouts (LBO)
• In a LBO, there is usually a ratio of 90% debt to 10% equity.
• Due to this high debt/equity ratio, the bonds are usually not
investment grade and are referred to as junk bonds.
• Leveraged buyouts have had a notorious history, especially in the
1980's when several buyouts led to the eventual bankruptcy of an
acquired company.
• This was mainly due to the fact that the leverage ratio was nearly
100% and the interest payments were so large that the company's
operating cash flows were unable to meet the obligation.
• As of 2005, the largest LBO to date was the acquisition of RJR
Nabisco in 1989 by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR).
• Depending on the source cited, KKR paid between $25 billion
and $31 billion for the acquisition.
• LBOs activities increased from 99 transactions worth $3 billion in
1981 to peak 338 transactions worth over $61 billion in 1989.

Role of Equity in LBOs

Valuing Corporate Restructuring
Process
We have Three methods for valuing the process
• Comparables Approaches
 Comparable companies analysis
 Comparable transactions analysis
• The DCF Spreadsheet Approach
• Formula Approach

Summary of the valuation process
• All valuation methods have strengths and weaknesses
• Valuation uses historical data as starting point
• Valuation depends on forecasts
• Reliability of forecasts depends on
 Analysis of changes in world and national economies.
 Understanding of business economics and financial
characteristics of the industry
 Analysis of competitive strategies and tactics.
• Ultimately valuation judgments must be made
 Precision is not possible.
 Valuations require periodic reassessments.

Summary of the valuation process
• Role of valuation
 Valuable planning framework for sound strategies and
improved efficiencies.
 Valuable framework to help identify value drivers important
to the future value of the firm.
 Sensitivity studies identify critical factors for the future.
 Valuable as a tool to develop a business model with
effective information feedback system.
 Valuable tool for flexible long range planning processes.
 Critical in M&As — major cause of acquisition failure is that
bidder overpays .

Industry Characteristics & Merger Motivations
Case Study: Exxon-Mobil Merger
• Impact of OPEC
• Oil price instability
• Early Restructuring Activities in the U.S. Oil industry
• The combined company would be in a stronger position to invest in
programs involving large outlays with high prospective risks and returns
• Exxon’s experience in deepwater exploration in West Africa would
combine with Mobil’s production and exploration acreage in Nigeria and
Equatorial Guinea
• Exxon’s strong presence in Azerbaijan would combine with Mobil’s
similar position in Kazakhstan
• Near term operating synergies of $2.8 billion were predicted. Two-thirds
of the benefits would come from eliminating duplicate facilities and
excess capacity

Anti-Trust Considerations
• Antitrust agencies place great emphasis on market concentration effects using
the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI or H index) Oil price instability
• The H index is measured by the sum of the squares of the market shares of all
of the firms in the industry
• The critical H index specified in the Guidelines is 1,000
• Below 1,000 concentration is considered sufficiently low, so that no further
investigation is required
• If a post-merger H index is between 1,000 and 1,800 and the index was
increased by 100 or more, the merger would be investigated
• If the industry H index is more than 1,800 and it was increased by at least 50,
the merger is likely to be challenged.
• With 9 mergers among the largest petroleum companies during 1998-2001, the
HHI for the petroleum industry rose from 389 points to 583 points
