Suppose IWT has decided to distribute $50 million, which it presently is holding in liquid short-term investments. IWT’s value of operations is estimated to be about $1,937.5 million; it has $387.5 million in debt and zero preferred stock. As mentioned previously, IWT has 100 million shares of stock outstanding. Assume that IWT has not yet made the distribution. What is IWT’s intrinsic value of equity? What is its intrinsic stock price per share? Now suppose that IWT has just made the $50 million distribution in the form of dividends. What is IWT’s intrinsic value of equity? What is its intrinsic stock price per share? Suppose instead that IWT has just made the $50 million distribution in the form of a stock repurchase. Now what is IWT’s intrinsic value of equity? How many shares did IWT repurchase? How many shares remained outstanding after the repurchase? What is its intrinsic stock price per share after the repurchase?
In the spring of 1984, Disney Productions stock was selling for about 3.125 per share. (All prices have been adjusted for 4-for-1 splits in 1986 and 1992.) Then Saul Steinberg, a New York financier, began acquiring it; after he had 12%, he announced a tender offer for another 37% of the stockwhich would bring his holdings up to 49%at a price of 4.22 per share. Disneys management then announced plans to buy Gibson Greeting Cards and Arvida Corporation, paying for them with stock. It also lined up bank credit and (according to Steinberg) was prepared to borrow up to 2 billion and use the funds to repurchase shares at a higher price than Steinberg was offering. All of these efforts were designed to keep Steinberg from taking control. In June, Disneys management agreed to pay Steinberg 4.84 per share, which gave him a gain of about 60 million on a 2-month investment of about 26.5 million. When Disneys buyback of Steinbergs shares was announced, the stock price fell almost instantly from 4.25 to 2.875. Many Disney stockholders were irate, and they sued to block the buyout Also, the Disney affair added fuel to the fire in a congressional committee that was holding hearings on proposed legislation that would (1) prohibit someone from acquiring more than 10% of a firms stock without making a tender offer for all the remaining shares, (2) prohibit poison pill tactics such as those Disneys management had used to fight off Steinberg, (3) prohibit buybacks, such as the deal eventually offered to Steinberg, (greenmail) unless there was an approving vote by stockholders, and (4) prohibit (or substantially curtail) the use of golden parachutes (the one thing Disneys management did not try). Set forth the arguments for and against this type of legislation. What provisions, if any, should it contain? Also, look up Disneys current stock price to see how its stockholders have fared. Note that Disneys stock was split 3-for-1 in July 1998 and 1,014-for-1,000 in June 2007.
