Full textThe thesis offers a thorough description of the current merger review laws in both systems, and the proposed amendments under consideration in Canada and the EU. In the last chapter, the author compares both procedures and comes to the conclusion that, notwithstanding certain differences in objectives and perception, merger regulation in both systems seems to flow along the same lines. Canada does, however, hold a (lonely) special position as far as the 'efficiency defence' is concerned.

Full textCompared to domestic M&A, the literature of cross-border M&A is relatively fewer. Most of the current research is based on US studies. We also have much less knowledge about the cross-border M&A from developed countries to emerging countries. Motivated by the general research background, the thesis conducted three distinctive papers regarding cross-border M&As from European Union (EU) to emerging countries. We propose three research questions that are seldom addressed in previous literatures: 1) Does industrial diversification explain the cross-border M&A from the European Union to emerging countries? 2) Do market value industrial specialization or diversification in CBM&A with emerging countries? 3) Do acquiring managers take advantage of the market timing in payment decisions in CBM&A with emerging countries? In addition, we compared the CBM&As with those of domestic France as well as the CBM&As inside the European Union. Based on 2406 fusions-acquisitions in France, 7628 CBM&As inside the European Union, and 1857 CBM&As between European firms and the emerging markets during 1992-2012, we find the following results. First, consistent with what is observed in prior M&As literatures between companies in developed countries but contrary to what is suggested in the theoretical arguments in earlier literatures about emerging countries, we show CBM&As from the European Union to emerging countries are industrially specialized rather than industrially diversified. We find that there is a negative relationship between international diversification and industrial diversification. Second, we found that the announcement effects for CBM&As between the E.U.-15 and emerging market are positive, but compared to CBM&As conducted wholly inside the E.U.-15 and domestic M&As in France, they are significantly less positive due to the focus on industrial diversification versus specialization. Third, we found the market undervalues the acquiring firms in CBM&A from the European Union to emerging countries. The acquiring managers do not take the advantage of the market timing when making their payment decisions. Our results show the acquiring firms do not incline to pay cash in CBM&A to emerging countries but rather in CBM&A inside European Union. In the meanwhile, we find the premium paid by the acquiring firms are not different from CBM&As inside the European Union. Our analyses evidence that acquiring firms are reluctant to pay cash in CBM&As with emerging countries. The thesis contributes to the current M&A empirical literatures and it has provided important research implications. It highlights also that there are clear conflicts of interests between investors and managers in the cross-border from the European Union to emerging countries. The thesis also opens new perspectives for the future research. For example, we observed that industrial diversification has an increasing trend in recent years, and it is valued positively by the market. We believe the results may be attributable to either the financial crisis or the better integration of emerging markets into the world economy

The European Union (EU) is both a supranational and intergovernmental organization consisting of 28 Member States. Over the course of five decades, it has become more and more integrated economically, aiming to form an internal market that seeks to guarantee the free movements of goods, capital, service and labors between the EU member states. Against the backdrop of globalization today, the world has become borderless, in which cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become the norm. Being one of the major actors in international trade, the EU is by no means a stranger to this phenomenon. As mentioned above, the EU has created the internal market, and therefore the regulations must be made at the European level and observed by all the Member States to ensure faire competition among all the market players. After the entry into force of the Single European Act (SEA) in 1987, which set the objective of establishing a European Single Market by the end of 1992, the aviation industry underwent the process of liberalization. Under Single European Sky and EU-US Open Skies Agreement, the entry barrier of the airline industry has been removed. From then on, not only can flag carrier fly regular transatlantic flights, but also private sectors. The deregulation in European aviation market serves two purposes: preventing government interventions within the EU, and thus creating a dynamic and diverse investment environment. However, the deregulation has made the market more competitive. To make their business more profitable, many airline companies will seek a merger with their competitors. In view of this phenomenon, the competition law is needed to ensure the open competition. The thesis aims to analysis the origin and the development of the EU Competition law and its application to cross-border airlines merger cases.

In recent years, media mergers have become a worldwide phenomenon. As media mergers have special benefits on news freedom and free expression of opinion, it will create public concerns which differ from common mergers in competitive concerns only. Therefore it will be difficult to apply the law for the purposes of developing competitive market and maintaining media plurality. Moreover, the current regime in Taiwan faces difficulties of “new media” and cross-media mergers. As a result, this research makes a comparative study on the competition law regimes, taking into consideration of media plurality issues and media merger cases in European Union, United Kingdom, and Taiwan. Also it will offer suggestions on regime and how the authority could carry out proper analysis with competition.

Before opening up its economy in 1979, China had virtually no enterprises as we know them today, let alone firm’s competitiveness, which is knowingly a condicio sine qua non for companies to engage in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).A few yars after the start of the reform process however, a limited number of state-owned Chinese companies started to carry out overseas investment. This type of FDI was nevertheless undistinguishable from government policy, and was therefore directed at securing energy resources needed by the nascent economic development and, to a lesser extent, to facilitate Chinese exports. When in 2001 China joined the WTO, the government started to carry out a cautious but constant liberalization of industries once shielded from international competition. Against this new background, the Chinese government realized that Chinese companies needed to become internationally competitive in order to survive both at home and abroad and accordingly started to ease restrictions with regard to the use of foreign exchange, also simplifying and making clearer the administrative approval procedure for outward investment. Meanwhile, the relevant bodies in the government launched several policies aiming at regulating, encouraging and supporting the new outward investment strategy announced by the top leadership in 2001,viz. the “go global” (“zou chu qu”) strategy. Following these policy changes, Chinese outward investment started to rise at an unprecedented level. Even though Asia and the developing countries receive the bulk of Chinese OFDI, a considerable and rising share of this new wealth is flowing to the European Union.We will see in the next paragraphs how Western Europe receives the lion’s share of Chinese OFDI in the EU, and how more than 2/3 of it is invested through cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A). M&A is a riskful but rapid way for companies to obtain the advanced technology, managerial and organizational capabilities as well as market share and distribution channel, tasks the normally would take several years to be achieved. Developing countries’ MNEs generally lack core competitiveness vis-a-vis firms from developed countries, and they can speed up the catch-up process through acquiring and absorbing firms (often from developed countries) which possess some sort of ownership advantage. Evidently, Chinese companies are heavily relying on M&As to increase their core competences and thus be able to compete both in the domestic and the international markets. The present dissertation will analyze the industrial and geographical distribution of Chinese M&As in the European Union, attempting to find out its patterns and trends, as well as trying to determine the role that the government’s policies on one side, and the Euro Zone crisis on the other side played in shaping Chinese firms’s M&As in the EU.

Full textThe educational reforms implemented by the Department of Education during the last decade have resulted in a number of high profile public university mergers taking place in South Africa. The private higher education sector has simultaneously been significantly restructured by new educational legislation, to such an extent that a numerous private providers have been forced to cease operations due to the onerous requirements of the new laws. In this context, private higher education institutions are increasingly being compelled to consider alternative strategic options in order to continue to operate as viable entities. This study examined two private theological higher education institutions operating in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, and considered whether a merger of the two organisations would be advantageous in light of the pressures being faced by the institutions. The objectives of the study were to assess first, whether a merger of the two institutions would be feasible and second, whether it would be desirable. The study reviewed the literature relating to various forms of organisational co-operation , focusing particularly on mergers. The benefits associated with mergers were highlighted as well as the major causes of the extraordinarily high merger failure rate experienced in practice. The tendency of leaders of merging entities to overlook cultural and people issues when planning and implementing a merger was noted. Attention was given to the managerial approaches necessary to reduce the risk of merger failure. Factors specific to mergers within the non-profit and educational sectors were considered, focusing on structural options for multi-campus educational institutions in particular. The methodology used to address the research objectives called for the conducting of structured interviews with a sample of employees and Board or Council members from both institutions, as well as an examination of various institutional records. Employees of both institutions completed a simple questionnaire designed to provide data for an analysis of the respective organisational cultures of the two institutions. The findings of the study suggested that a merger between the institutions would be feasible, but that employees of the two organisations are not generally of the view that a merger would be desirable in the short term. There was however more support in principle for a merger in the medium to long term and the study consequently recommends that a joint task team be established to prepare a roadmap for the ultimate merger of the two institutions. In the short term it is recommended that a joint venture or strategic alliance be entered into by the two organisations primarily in order to test the compatibility of the two organisational cultures. Further recommendations cover issues such as the ideal structure for the merged entity and the process necessary to successfully manage the integration of two separate organisational cultures.

Full textThis study examines the short-term stock price reaction to an acquisition announcement and the long-term post-performance in order to test the existence of a momentum effect in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The stock price reaction to the announcement of an acquisition is measured by the cumulative abnormal announcement returns (CAARs), while the long-run performance is estimated using the buy-and-hold abnormal returns (BHARs). Using a sample of 3,496 European Union (EU) completed acquisitions between 2002 and 2012, I find evidence of merger momentum by showing that (1) acquirers are more likely to obtain higher CAARs in period of “hot merger markets” (i.e., when previous recent acquirers have also earned higher announcement returns) and (2) the higher abnormal announcement returns tend to revert in the long-run, with acquirers exhibiting lower BHARs. These results are in line with the investor sentiment (optimism) hypothesis in hot merger markets. Further, the findings hold after several robustness tests, including industry fixed effects and the elimination of consecutive acquisitions by the same acquirer that occur in a small time window.
Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a existência de momentum em fusões e aquisições (F&A). Consistente com a literatura, este fenómeno é analisado através da comparação das rendibilidades anormais acumuladas com as rendibilidades a 3 anos das empresas envolventes na compra da aquisição. Usando uma amostra de 3496 F&A efetuadas por empresas pertencentes à União Europeia entre 2002 e 2012, encontra-se evidência de momentum, observando-se que (1) acquirers obtêm rendibilidades positivas e elevadas na presença de hot merger markets (isto é, quando recentes aquisições tem sido bem sucedidas) e (2) as elevadas rendibilidades tendem a reverter no longo prazo, com as empresas adquirentes reportando rendibilidades negativas a 3 anos. Os resultados são consistentes com a teoria do sentimento do investidor (otimismo). Após vários testes de robustez, incluindo efeitos fixos por indústria e a eliminação de aquisições consecutivas realizadas pela mesma empresa num pequeno espaço de tempo, os resultados mantêm-se consistentes.

Full textCross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) in the European Union (EU) are rather frequent and represent around one third of the overall number of deals. Acquirers of targets located in the EU must comply with takeover rules set individually by member states, but also with European Council Directives. The most significant of these Directives in the context of M&As, and the one that will be further discussed in my research work, is the Takeover Bids Directive (TBD). The intent of the Directive is to ensure equal treatment for all companies launching takeover bids or that are subject to a change in control, providing minimum harmonization rules in view of creating a transparent environment for cross-border takeovers. This study examines the short-term stock price reaction to M&A announcements and the long-term post-announcement returns of firms involved in M&As in the EU to test if there are differences in the performance of domestic and international deals. Then, I study the impact of the enactment of the TBD on announcement returns of cross-border M&As. I also examine other determinants of cross-border deals. To test my hypotheses, I use the event study methodology, buy-and-hold abnormal returns, difference-in-differences techniques and probabilistic models. Using a sample of 2197 M&As conducted between 2000 and 2015, I do not find evidence that there are significant differences among domestic and international M&As in the short- or in the long-term. Furthermore, I conclude that the TBD did not have any significant impact on the short-term performance of M&As and that it also failed in the attempt to foster cross-border deals in the EU. Nevertheless, and consistent with previous literature, I do find that firms located in member states with lower investor protection and civil law origin are more likely to be targeted in cross-border deals.
Na União Europeia, as Fusões e Aquisições internacionais são bastante frequentes e representam cerca de um terço do número total de Fusões e Aquisições. Os adquirentes de empresas localizadas na União Europeia necessitam cumprir com a legislação referente à reestruturação de empresas de cada país, assim como com Diretivas do Conselho Europeu. A Diretiva mais relevante no que concerne ao controlo societário, e que será estudada ao longo desta Dissertação, é a Diretiva relativa às Ofertas Públicas de Aquisição. O objetivo desta é garantir tratamento igualitário a todas as empresas envolvidas em ofertas públicas de aquisição, fornecendo orientações mínimas de harmonização, de modo a fomentar as atividades de reestruturação. Neste estudo é analisada a reação de curto prazo dos preços das ações das empresas envolvidas em Fusões e Aquisições na União Europeia, assim como a reação de longo prazo, de forma a avaliar se existem diferenças no desempenho de Fusões e Aquisições domésticas e internacionais. Seguidamente, é avaliado o impacto da transposição da Diretiva relativa às Ofertas Públicas de Aquisição no desempenho de curto prazo. São também analisados outros determinantes destas atividades de reestruturação na União Europeia. De forma a testar as hipóteses formuladas, são usadas as metodologias event study, buy-and-hold abnormal returns, difference-in-differences, assim como modelos probabilísticos. Recorrendo a uma amostra de 2197 Fusões e Aquisições realizadas entre 2000 e 2015, não são encontradas diferenças significativas no que concerne ao desempenho de curto e longoprazo entre Fusões e Aquisições domésticas e internacionais. Conclui-se também que a Diretiva relativa às Ofertas Públicas de Aquisição não teve um impacto significativo no desempenho de curto prazo, nem no fomento de um mercado de controlo societário na União Europeia. Todavia, conclui-se que empresas localizadas em países com menos proteção de investidores e com origem civil law são mais propensas a serem alvo de Aquisições internacionais.
