The Effects of Management Involvement on Takeover Competition and Shareholder ReturnsJohn PuthenpurackalUniversity of Nevada, Las Vegas - Department of Finance Sridhar GogineniUniversity of Wyoming - College of Business - Department of Economics and Finance March 25, 2011 Abstract: Using a sample of going-private buyouts, we examine how target management involvement on the bidding side impacts takeover competition and target shareholder returns. We find that when target management are involved, fewer potential bidders are contacted and fewer private bids are received in the pre-public takeover phase. Management involvement however does not appear to adversely affect target announcement period returns for both auction and negotiated deals. This is consistent with an optimal selling strategy by targets even when management is involved. We show that the likelihood of shareholder lawsuits is higher when management is involved and this appears to play an important role in ensuring fair target premiums.
