Discussion

Financial Findings

The financial findings of the merger between CMI and CTS show that CMI has a budget approved which is more than what CTS' owners are asking for. Whereas, Randall is striving enthusiastically to give the lowest possible price so as to purchase CTS. In order to, completely acquire CTS at a reasonable price; CMI does not want to spend more than $600,000 along with the book value of CTS. As per Randall CTS's worth is around $625,000. Though CMI's parent company has approved a budget of nine million for the acquisition.

Resistance points from CTS

The resistance points that CTS have are that the offer of CMI is very low, and CTS is demanding more than its actual worth. As CTS are striving in order to get a favourable offer from Randall's side. Secondly, of CTS has to satisfy their concerns regarding their ownership stake after the complete acquisition. As they want to ensure their returns, which can only be possible, if they have a partial ownership in the new company. Another resistance point is that CTS' owners do not want to sell at a lower price or to a company that cannot give decent return; this is due to the owner's investment in the company.

    Worldcom Case: Bankruptcy Protection

    The dominant value creating function is the main reason for the firm engagement in inorganic growth. Through this mode of growth, the firm improved the value of shareholders since the power and efficiency of the merged companies are better than the individual companies working separately. As a result, the value was captured in the anticipated synergies where the results of these mergers were evident based on the accelerated growth in revenues, profits, and assets. In addition, the mergers, especially the merger between world com and MCI, brought together two firms that have complementary strengths and assets (Hitt & Harrison, 2001). Through these mergers, the shareholders’ value was improved through operational cost reduction including, the reduction in reduced leased lined costs, and elimination of expensive terminal charges both locally and internationally. Also, the mergers eliminated duplication of activities and investments, adoption of best practices while sales and marketing forces have meshed thus making the established market channel to be better established.

    Case Study: AT&T and McCaw Merger

    With multiple valuation numbers being arrived at ranging from 5.4 billion dollars to 173 billion, we believe that the most appropriate value for the organization is 12 billion dollars. It has been arrived at, by maintaining the industry standard of pricing a potential customer at a 173 dollars. The highest valuation we arrived at was by the DCF method (193 billion), this number is only plausible when we assume that the organization will grow at 7% indefinitely. On the other hand the organization was valued the lowest at 5.4 billion dollars. This number makes sense only when we extend the industry average for market to book valuation to be a fair way to assess the potential of Mccaw.…

    The Timken Company 2

    In this case we analyst whether Timken should acquire Torrington company from Ingersoll-Rand by cash, issuing share to public or issuing share directly to IR. IR wanted to divest Torrington and Timken aim to acquire it. After merging with Torrington Timken will be world third largest company in bearing industry and Timken would gain more sales as Timken and Torrington has about 80% of overlapped customer. Moreover after the synergy they can reduces cost, increase market shares and have more production lines. As Timken leverage ratio is not good, so they couldn’t raise cash that needed to be paid for the acquiring because if they did so the investment-grade rating will be deceased. Timken rating now is BBB so they couldn’t risk it to go lower. As Timken stock price is 19$/share they would have to require a lot of shares for the public to gain enough money for the acquisition and there is a risk that Timken couldn’t sell all of shares. For the last option is by issuing share directly to IR would benefit Timken as it will change capital structure reduce debt more equity. But it wouldn’t happen either because this option will make IR take the risk for holding to Timken stocks while they already have plan to invest in other segment. Our group suggests that Timken should acquire Torrington by issuing share directly to IR and pay cash by doing this will cause a win-win situation.…

    Conrail Case

    Conrail Case

    1. CSX wanted to merge with Conrail, because the consolidated company would have more than $8.5 billion in rail revenue and almost 70 % of the Eastern market. Gain in Operating Income from Cost Reduction would bring additional $370 million by the year 2000. Total gain from revenue increase would result in additional $180 million. And from the operating income would reach $550 million. Another important point in CSX-Conrail merger is the better competitive position in both long-haul and short-haul routes through cost reduction. The last reason for buying the Conrail was the fear of CSX Company to lose competitive advantage and as a result to lose a lot of revenue, if Conrail merge with another company. CSX should be willing to pay not less than $8.3 billion. 2. CSX is offering a two-tiered offer. The first stage is a Cash-offer of $92.50 per share for 40 % of the common stocks. The second stage is share change for the remaining 60 % of Conrail’s shareholders; Conrail’s old shareholders should get 1.85619:1.0 new CSX shares per Conrail share which is based on CSX’s share price value of $89.07. According to Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law bidders that hold more than 20% of the company’s stock are forced to offer all shareholders the same price unless the shareholder of the target company nullified this provision (“fair value” statute). Additionally the bidder’s voting right was capped to 20 % unless the management or the shareholders approved voting rights for the shares the bidder holds. The first stage is also split into two parts, as in the first step 19.7 % of Conrail shares shall be acquired via a tender offer. Additionally to the CSX was supported by the management that owned 1.3 million shares and the employee trust which controlled 13.0 million shares. Consequently 35.5 % of the shareholders were in favor of the merger and only the support 14.6 % was necessary. The remaining 20.3% shall be bought…

    Computech Case Summary

    Computer Concepts Inc. is a good potential acquisition candidate, since the company specializes in financial spreadsheet. CCI’s last trade was at a price of $1.50, but the price would probably go up if a large buy order were placed. CCI’s management team owns about 30 percent of the stock, which is substantial but not enough to completely block a merger. They might fight to keep the company independent or appreciate being acquired by CompuTech which would provide them with greater product diversity.…
