Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 9P
Your company has earnings per share of $4. It has 1 million shares outstanding, each of which has a price of $40. You are thinking of buying TargetCo, which has earnings per share of $2, 1 million shares outstanding, and a price per share of $25. 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 20% 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 to TargetCo‘s premerger P/E ratio?

Suppose you bought the maximum number of shares of Fleetwood as in (1).
Assume that immediately after your purchase, Fleetwood’s share price drops to $18.00 per share. Calculate your new margin. Will you receive a margin call?
