Abstract
This paper evaluates the wealth impact of take-over bids in France in the late 80s. It suggests that shareholders of both target and acquiring firms all realize a substantial gain, of which a much bigger proportion goes to target firms’ shareholders. The choice of security versus cash tender offers has a significant and negative impact on the acquiring shareholders’ wealth, which confirms the bad signal hypothesis.
