Capital adequacy, bank mergers, and the medium of payment
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to examine the impact of bank capital requirements on the financing of bank mergers and the response of the stock market to the merger announcement. One hundred bank mergers are analyzed in terms of the payment methods used and the change in the stock prices of the merging banks on the day of the announcement. The findings indicate that merger financing is affected by the relative sizes of both parties and the capital adequacy of the acquirer. The value of the acquiring bank's equity is found to decline after the merger announcement if the deal was paid in stock.

US evidence on bank takeover motives: a note
Article Abstract:
The relationships between target gains and total gains and between acquirer gains and target gains were investigated to differentiate the three competing motives for bank takeovers: synergy, agency and hubris. Empirical findings indicated that bank takeovers are mainly motivated by synergy, although there is also a strong indication of hubris. Hubris may account for the positive target gains and zero or negative acquirer gains.
