Calculation Exchange Ratio

This document provides a framework for analyzing mergers and acquisitions to determine a "win-win" exchange ratio for both the buyer and target company. It discusses evaluating the maximum and minimum acceptable exchange ratios for stock-for-stock and cash deals using discounted cash flow valuation and price-to-earnings valuation. The exchange ratio is the number of buyer shares or amount of cash offered per target share. Finding a ratio in the "win-win zone" where both companies benefit requires estimating the combined company value and negotiating based on factors like relative company size and bargaining power.

Finding the Win-Win Deal

P.V. Viswanath

Class Notes for FIN 648: Mergers and Acquisitions

Framework
In a stock-for-stock deal, the exchange ratio is the number of buyer
shares per target share.
In a cash deal, the cash exchange ratio is the number of dollars
exchanged per target share.
To determine the correct ratio in a cash deal, compare the cash
payment to the intrinsic value of the asset.
In principle, the rule is the same in the stock deal as well; however, in
this case, both buyer and target shares have to be valued.
The greater the synergy, the greater the possibility for a win-win deal.
This analysis provides the data needed for negotation between buyer
and target.

Terms
ER= exchange ratio: buyer shares per target share.
ER1= max acceptable exchange ratio for buyer.
ER2= max acceptable exchange ratio for seller.
P1= buyers price before transaction
P2= targets price before transaction
P1= buyers shares outstanding before transaction
P2= targets shares outstanding before transaction
P12= price of combined company
DCF12= discounted cashflow value of combined company

Choosing a ratio in the Win-Win Zone


Bargaining Power
Control Premium in comparable transactions
Focal points based on relative contribution of the
two firms.

Keep relative pre-merger share prices of target and buyer

ER = Ptarget/Pbuyer

Some contribution indicators are:


Operating profits, assets, unit sales, revenues, no. of employees
If C = contribution % of buyer:
S Buyer
