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?

Your company has earnings per share of $4. It has 1 million shares outstanding, each of which has a price of $60. You are
thinking of buying TargetCo, which has earnings per share of $2, 1 million shares outstanding, and a price per share of
$45. You will pay for TargetCo by issuing new shares. There are no expected synergies from the transaction. Complete
parts a through d below.
a. If you pay no premium to buy TargetCo, what will your earnings per share be after the merger?
Your new earnings per share will be $ ☐ .

Your company has earnings per share of $4.20. It has 1.3 million shares outstanding, each of which has
a price of $38.80. You are thinking of buying TargetCo, which has earnings per share of $2.10, 1.4
million shares, and a price per share of $25.60. You will pay for TargetCo by issuing new shares. There
are no expected synergies from the transaction. If you pay no premium to buy TargetCo, what will be
your earnings per share after the merger?

pay for TargetCo by issuing new shares. There are no expected synergies from the transaction. Suppose you offered an exchange ratio such that, at current pre-announcement share prices for both firms, the offer represents a 15% premium to buy
TargetCo. However, the actual premium that your company will pay for TargetCo when it completes the transaction will not be 15%, because on the announcement the target price will go up and your price will go down to reflect the fact that you are willing
to pay a premium for TargetCo without any synergies. Assume that the takeover will occur with certainty and all market participants know this on the announcement of the takeover (ignore time value of money).
