Market Capitalisation

The opposition of some shareholders to the proposed merger of stockbrokers GK Goh and Vickers Ballas in Singapore highlights a number of interesting issues pertaining to the valuation of companies in mergers and acquisitions. In particular, what are rationalisations for market capitalisation versus book value? The case also discusses the appropriateness of schemes of arrangement as a means to effect a merger and the judiciousness of appointing independent financial advisors to advise minority shareholders.

Monitoring Activities

This paper analyzes the role of independent financial advisors in the negotiated sale of tax-exempt securities. The empirical results indicate that the costs of contracting with financial advisors are not significantly offset by corresponding benefits in the form of lower borrowing costs. There is no evidence that advisor certification reduces reoffer yields; advisor monitoring activities are shown to reduce modestly the costs of underwriting.
