Given: | |||||||
Stock price = $41 per share | |||||||
Share outstanding = 850k | |||||||
EPS = $1.41 | |||||||
Shares acquired by purchasing firm = 50k + 50k = 100k | |||||||
Shares acquired by the board members = 175k. | |||||||
Scenario # 1 | |||||||
Takeover firm acquires ( 50% of 850k + 1 share) = 425,001 shares | |||||||
Cost of acquisition = (425,001 * $41) = $17,425,041 | |||||||
Cost of Purchase of first 50k shares =( 50,000 * $41) = $2,050,000 | |||||||
Cost of Purchase of Second 50k shares =( 50,000 * $41) = $2,050,000 | |||||||
Total Cost = ($17,425,041 + $2,050,000 + $2,050,000) = $21,525,041 | |||||||
Scenario # 2 | |||||||
In this case, Takeover firm acquires 625,000 shares | |||||||
= (625,000 * $41) = $25,625,000 | |||||||
Shares acquired by Present shareholders = (850k - 625k - 175k) = 50k | |||||||
= [50,000 * ($41 *84.81% )] = (50,000 * $34.77) = $1,738,500 | |||||||
Total Cost = ( $25,625,000 + $1,738,500) = $27,363,500 | |||||||
The Poison pill strategy makes the purchase expensive forTakeover firm by 20.45% | |||||||
working Note: | |||||||
= [ 25,625,000 + $311,500 - $21,525,041] = $4,411,459 | |||||||
where, [$311,500 = 50,000 shares * ($41-$34.77) ] | |||||||
= $4,411,459 / $21,575,041 *100 = 20.45% | |||||||
