MANAGEMENT BUYOUT

113. Personal Computer Division of Distress Ltd., a computer hardware


manufacturing company has started facing financial difficulties for the last
2 to 3 years. The management of the division headed by Mr. Smith is
interested in a buyout on 1 April 2013. However, to make this buy-out
successful there is an urgent need to attract substantial funds from venture
capitalists.
Ven Cap, a European venture capitalist firm has shown its interest to
finance the proposed buy-out. Distress Ltd. is interested to sell the division for `
180 crore and Mr. Smith is of opinion that an additional amount of ` 85 crore
shall be required to make this division viable. The expected financing pattern
shall be as follows:
Source Mode Amount
(` crore)
Management Equity Shares of ` 10 each 60.00
VenCap VC Equity Shares of ` 10 each 22.50
9% Debentures with attached warrant of ` 100 each 22.50
8% Loan 160.00
Total
265.00

The warrants can be exercised any time after 4 years from now for 10 equity
shares @ ` 120 per share.
The loan is repayable in one go at the end of 8th year. The debentures are
repayable in equal annual installment consisting of both principal and interest
amount over a period of 6 years.
Mr. Smith is of view that the proposed dividend shall not be kept more
than 12.5% of distributable profit for the first 4 years. The forecasted EBIT
after the proposed buyout is as follows:
Year 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17
EBIT (` crore) 48 57 68 82

Applicable tax rate is 35% and it is expected that it shall remain unchanged at
least for 5-6 years. In order to attract VenCap, Mr. Smith stated that book
Sanjay Saraf Educational Institute Pvt. Ltd. Page 1

value of equity shall increase by 20% during above 4 years. Although,


VenCap has shown their interest in investment but are doubtful about the
projections of growth in the value as per projections of Mr. Smith. Further
VenCap also demanded that warrants should be convertible in 18 shares
instead of 10 as proposed by Mr. Smith.
You are required to determine whether or not the book value of equity is
expected to grow by 20% per year. Further if you have been appointed by Mr.
Smith as advisor then whether you would suggest to accept the demand of
VenCap of 18 shares instead of 10 or not.

*Figures have been rounded off.


In the beginning of 2013-14 equity was ` 82.5000 crore which has been grown to
` 194.7795 over a period of 4 years. In such case the compounded growth rate shall
be as follows:
(194.7795/82.5000)¼ - 1 = 23.96%
This growth rate is slightly higher than 20% as projected by Mr. Smith.
If the condition of VenCap for 18 shares is accepted the expected share holding
after 4 years shall be as follows:

No. of shares held by Management 6.00 crore


No. of shares held by VenCap at the starting stage 2.25 crore
No. of shares held by VenCap after 4 years 4.05 crore
Total holding 6.30 crore
Thus, it is likely that Mr. Smith may not accept this condition of VenCap as this
may result in losing their majority ownership and control to VenCap. Mr. Smith
may accept their condition if management has further opportunity to increase
their ownership through other forms.

Since the Company has limited liability the value of equity cannot be negative
therefore the value of equity under slow growth will be taken as zero
because of insolvency risk and the value of debt is taken at 410 lacs. The
expected value of debt and equity can then be calculated as:

117. The CEO of a company thinks that shareholders always look for EPS. Therefore
he considers maximization of EPS as his company's objective. His
company's current Net Profits are ` 80.00 lakhs and P/E multiple is 10.5. He
wants to buy another firm which has current income of ` 15.75 lakhs & P/E
multiple of 10.
What is the maximum exchange ratio which the CEO should offer so that he
could keep EPS at the current level, given that the current market price of
both the acquirer and the target company are ` 42 and ` 105 respectively?
If the CEO borrows funds at 15% and buys out Target Company by paying
cash, how much should he offer to maintain his EPS? Assume tax rate of 30%.

Merger & Acquisition

Answer :

(i)
Acquirer Company Target Company
Net Profit ` 80 lakhs ` 15.75 lakhs
PE Multiple 10.50 10.00
Market Capitalization ` 840 lakhs ` 157.50 lakhs
Market Price ` 42 ` 105
No. of Shares 20 lakhs 1.50 lakhs
EPS `4 ` 10.50
Maximum Exchange Ratio 4 : 10.50 or 1 : 2.625
Thus, for every one share of Target Company 2.625 shares of Acquirer
Company.

(ii) Let x lakhs be the amount paid by Acquirer company to Target


Company. Then to maintain same EPS i.e. ` 4 the number of shares to be
issued will be:

Book Value per share ` 40 ` 32

(ii) Calculation of Swap Ratio


EPS 1 : 4 i.e. 1.0× 40% 1.6
Book value 1 : 0.8 i.e 0.8 × 25% 0.2
Market price 1 : 2 i.e. 2.0 × 35% 0.7
Total 2.5
Swap ratio is for every one share of H Ltd., to issue 2.5 shares of
E Ltd. Hence, total no. of shares to be issued 15 lakh × 2.5 = 37.50 lakh
shares
(iii) Promoter’s holding = 9.50 lakh shares + (10× 2.5 = 25 lakh
shares) = 34.50 lakh i.e. Promoter’s holding % is (34.50 lakh/57.50
lakh) × 100 = 60%.

Answer :

(a) Swap Ratio


Abhiman Ltd. Abhishek Ltd.
Share Capital 200 Lakh 100 Lakh
Free Reserves 800 Lakh 500 Lakh
Total 1000 Lakh 600 Lakh
No. of Shares 2 Lakh 10 Lakh
Book Value per share ` 500 ` 60
Promoter’s holding 50% 60%
Non promoter’s holding 50% 40%
Free Float Market Cap. i.e. 400 Lakh 128 Lakh
relating to Public’s holding 320 Lakh
Hence Total market Cap 800 Lakh 10 Lakh
No. of Shares 2 Lakh ` 32
Market Price ` 400 4
P/E Ratio 10 8
EPS 40 -
Profits (` 2 X 40 lakh) ` 80 lakh
(` 8 X 10 lakh) - ` 80 lakh

Calculation of Swap Ratio


Book Value 1 : 0.12 i.e. 0.12 x 25% 0.03
EPS 1 : 0.2 0.20 x 50% 0.10
Market Price 1 : 0.08 0.08 x 25% 0.02
Total 0.15
Swap ratio is for every one share of Abhishek Ltd., to issue 0.15 shares of
Abhiman Ltd.
Hence total no. of shares to be issued.
10 Lakh x 0.15 = 1.50 lakh shares

(b) Book Value, EPS & Market Price


Total No of Shares 2 Lakh + 1.5 Lakh = 3.5 Lakh
Total Capital ` 200 Lakh + ` 150 Lakh = ` 350 Lakh
Reserves ` 800 Lakh + ` 450 Lakh = ` 1,250 Lakh

Expected Market Price EPS (` 45.71) x P/E Ratio (10) = ` 457.10

(c)
(1) Promoter’s holding
Promoter’s Revised Abhiman 50% i.e. 1.00 Lakh shares
Holding Abhishek 60% i.e. 0.90 Lakh shares
Total 1.90 Lakh shares
Promoter’s % = 1.90/3.50 x 100 = 54.29%

(2) Free Float Market Capitalisation


Free Float Market = (3.5 Lakh – 1.9 Lakh) x ` 457.10
Capitalisation = ` 731.36 Lakh

(3) (i) & (ii)


Revised Capital ` 350 Lakh + ` 175 Lakh = ` 525 Lakh
No. of shares before Split (F.V ` 100) 5.25 Lakh
No. of Shares after Split (F.V. ` 5 ) 5.25 × 20 = 105 Lakh

EPS 160 Lakh / 105 Lakh = 1.523


Book Value Cap. ` 525 Lakh + ` 1075 Lakh
No. of Shares = 105 Lakh
= ` 15.238 per share

Assume that both companies 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 price of both the companies into EPS and P/E
components; and also segregate their EPS figures into Return on Equity
(ROE) and book value/intrinsic value per share components.
(ii) Estimate future EPS growth rates for each company.
(iii) Based on expected operating synergies BA Ltd. estimates that the intrinsic
value of DA’s equity share would be `20 per share on its acquisition.
You are required to develop a range of justifiable equity share exchange
ratios that can be offered by BA Ltd. to the shareholders of DA Ltd.
Based on your analysis in part (i) and (ii), would you expect the negotiated
terms to be closer to the upper, or the lower exchange ratio limits and why?
(iv) Calculate the post-merger EPS based on an exchange ratio of 0.4: 1 being
offered by BA Ltd. and 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 BA Ltd.’s pre-merger P/E
ratio will continue after the merger, estimate the post-merger market price.
Also show the resulting accretion or dilution in pre-merger market prices.

Answer :

Market price per share (MPS) = EPS X P/E ratio or P/E ratio = MPS/EPS

(i) Determination of EPS, P/E ratio, ROE and BVPS of BA Ltd. and DA Ltd.
BA Ltd. DA Ltd.
Earnings After Tax (EAT) ` 2,10,000 ` 99,000
No. of Shares (N) 100000 80000
EPS (EAT/N) ` 2.10 ` 1.2375
Market price per share (MPS) 40 15
P/E Ratio (MPS/EPS) 19.05 12.12
Equity Funds (EF) ` 12,00,000 ` 8,00,000
BVPS (EF/N) 12 10
ROE (EAT/EF) × 100 17.50% 12.37%

(ii) Estimation of growth rates in EPS for BA Ltd. and DA Ltd.


Retention Ratio (1-D/P ratio) 0.6 0.4
Growth Rate (ROE × Retention Ratio) 10.50% 4.95%

(iii) Justifiable equity shares exchange ratio


Intrinsic value based = `20 / `40 = 0.5:1 (upper limit)
Market price based = `15 / ` 40 = 0.375:1
= MPSDA/MPSBA (lower limit)
Since, BA Ltd. has a higher EPS, ROE, P/E ratio and even higher EPS
growth expectations, the negotiable terms would be expected to be closer
to the lower limit, based on the existing share prices.

(iv) Calculation of post merger EPS and its effects


Particulars BA Ltd. DA Ltd. Combined

Sanjay Saraf Educational Institute Pvt. Ltd. Page 25


Merger & Acquisition

(i) Find the earning per share for company MK Ltd. after merger, and
(ii) Find the exchange ratio so that shareholders of NN Ltd. would not be at a
loss.

Answer :

(i) Earning per share of company MK Ltd after merger:-


Exchange ratio 160 : 200 = 4 : 5.
that is 4 shares of MK Ltd. for every 5 shares of NN Ltd.
∴ Total number of shares to be issued = 4/5 × 3,00,000 = 2,40,000 Shares.
∴Total number of shares of MK Ltd. and NN Ltd.=12,00,000 (MK
Ltd.)+2,40,000 (NN Ltd.)
= 14,40,000 Shares
Total profit after tax = ` 60,00,000 MK Ltd.
= ` 18,00,000 NN Ltd.
= ` 78,00,000
∴ EPS. (Earning Per Share) of MK Ltd. after merger
` 78,00,000/14,40,000 = ` 5.42 per share
(ii)To find the exchange ratio so that shareholders of NN Ltd. would not be at a
Loss:
Present earning per share for company MK Ltd.
= ` 60,00,000/12,00,000 = ` 5.00
Present earning per share for company NN Ltd.
= ` 18,00,000/3,00,000 = ` 6.00
∴ Exchange ratio should be 6 shares of MK Ltd. for every 5 shares of NN Ltd.
∴ Shares to be issued to NN Ltd. = 3,00,000 × 6/5 = 3,60,000 shares
Now, total No. of shares of MK Ltd. and NN Ltd. =12,00,000 (MK
Ltd.)+3,60,000 (NN Ltd.)
= 15,60,000 shares
∴ EPS after merger = ` 78,00,000/15,60,000 = ` 5.00 per share
Total earnings available to shareholders of NN Ltd. after merger
= 3,60,000 shares × ` 5.00 = ` 18,00,000
This is equal to earnings prior merger for NN Ltd.
∴ Exchange ratio on the basis of earnings per share is recommended.
