Tiivistelmä: | Antitakeover amendments restrict the transfer of corporate control.On average, the public announcement of antitakeover amendments by 600 firms in the period 1979-1985 has an insignificant effect on the value of announcing firms' shares. However, different types of amendments have varying effects. Non-far-price amendments have an average significant negative effect of 2.95% on share prices, while fair-price amendments have insignificant effect. The more harmful amendments have larger insider holdings and lower institutional holdings, suggesting a partial explanation of why shareholders approve these amendments. |
