Abstract: | This paper examines the shareholders' perceptions of the costs and benefits associated with the use of pooling-of-interests (hereafter as: p-of-i). The paper's focus is on the market's reaction to the SEC's adoption of SAB 96. This regulation forced firms to choose btw. using p-of-i. and maintaining their share repurchase programs. Overall, the results suggest shareholders perceive their to be a net cost when managers choose to use p-of-i. These findings should be of particular interest to regulators, practitioners and researchers. |
