Assume that the two firms are in the process of negotiating a merger through an exchange of equity shares. You have been asked to assist in establishing equitable exchange terms, and are required to:
(i) Decompose the share prices of both the companies into EPS and P/E components, and also segregate
their EPS figures into return on equity (ROE) and book value of intrinsic value per share (BVPS)
components.
(ii) Estimate future EPS growth rates for each firm.
(iii) Based on expected operating synergies, A Ltd estimates that the intrinsic value of T’s equity share would be Rs 20 per share on its acquisition. You are required to develop a range of justifiable equity
share exchange ratios that can be offered by A Ltd’s shareholders. Based on your analysis in parts (i)
and (ii), would you expect the negotiated terms to be closer to the upper, or the lower exchange ratio limits? Why?
(iv) Calculate the post-merger EPS based on an exchange ratio of 0.4 : 1 being offered by A Ltd. Indicate
the immediate EPS accretion or dilution, if any, that will occur for each group of shareholders.
(v) Based on a 0.4 :1 exchange ratio, and assuming that A’s pre-merger P/E ratio will continue after the merger, estimate the post-merger market price. Show the resulting accretion or dilution in pre-merger market prices.
