Rotman School of Man agement\n University of Toronto\n\nPrivate merger negotiation responses to ongoing tax legislation\n\nDate: Friday\, April 19\, 2024\n Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM\n Location: Bronfman building\, Room 210\n\nAbstract\n\nTarget v aluation is the cornerstone of merger negotiations and hinges on expectati ons of future after-tax cash flows. But how do buyers and sellers adapt to expectation and incentive differences with respect to tax policies under development? Focusing on major corporate tax reform legislation in 2017 (i .e.\, TCJA) and using hand-collected data on private merger negotiations\, we examine the contemporaneous impact of tax policy developments on those negotiations. For deals negotiated during tax legislation\, the deal prem ium increases in the target’s expected gain from tax reform. Bidders and t argets meet soon after key legislation events\, especially when the target ’s expected gain from reform is high. The pre-announcement bid revision fo llowing a legislative event in-creases in the target’s expected gains from reform and is greater for a bidder that faces a higher cost of delaying n egotiations. Taken together\, legislative developments appear relevant to the par-ties negotiating an acquisition.\n\n\n\n\nWe are proud to announce that our event has been awarded a Gold Sustainable Event certification by the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Sustainable Events program run by the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Office of Sustain ability. \n\n \n\n\n\nNous sommes fiers d’annoncer que notre événement a é té certifié comme événement D’Or par le programme Événements durables McGi ll du Bureau du développement durable de l’Université 91ºÚÁÏÍø\n DTSTART:20240419T143000Z DTEND:20240419T160000Z LOCATION:Room 210\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Accounting Area Seminar Ernst & Young Speaker Series: Alexander Edw ards URL:/desautels/channels/event/accounting-area-seminar- ernst-young-speaker-series-alexander-edwards-356524 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
