| Tiivistelmä: | A wealth transfer from bondholders is one of several hypotheses used to explain stockholder gains on the announcement of a spin-off. Using a larger sample with comprehensive bond data, the authors find evidence consistent with wealth expropriation. Bondholders, on average, suffer a significant negative abnormal return during the month of the spin-off announcement. In explaining the magnitude of the losses to bondholders, the authors find they are a function of the loss in collateral in the spun-off subsiduary and the level of financial risk of the parent firm. Lossess to bondholders tend to be more severe, the larger the gains to shareholders. |
