Your company has earnings per share of $4.49. It has 1.621 million shares outstanding, each of which has a price of $45.00. You are thinking of buying TargetCo, which has earnings per share of $1.50, 1.335 million shares outstanding, and a price per share of $21.00. You will pay for TargetCo by issuing new shares. There are no expected synergies from the transaction. a. If you pay no premium to buy TargetCo, what will your earnings per share be after the merger? b. Suppose you offer an exchange ratio such that, at current pre-announcement share prices for both firms, the offer represents a 15% premium to buy TargetCo. What will your earnings per share be after the merger? c. What explains the change in earnings per share in part (a)? Are your shareholders any better or worse off? d. What will your price-earnings ratio be after the merger (if you pay no premium)? How does this compare to your P/E ratio before the merger? How does this compare

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?
