Abstract: | A bargaining model of a merger involving share exchange is examined in which directors of the bidder may dissimulate. It is shown that there is an incentive for them to over or understate synergy, depending on their perceptions of relative bargaining power. The ambiguity of the offer has implications for merger policy and the regulation of information. |
