| Abstract: | The relation between the use of takeover defences and IPO company value is the central theme of this study. It is reported that management frequently uses takeover defences before taking the company public. The use of takeover defences is primarily motivated by managerial entrenchment. IPO investors anticipate potential conflict of interests with management and reduce the price they pay for the IPO shares if takeover defences are adopted. |
