Abstract

(VF)L’objectif de notre recherche est d’étudier le lien entre la structure de l’actionnariat et la maturité de la dette. L’étude est conduite sur un échantillon de sociétés françaises de l’indice Euronext sur la période 2011-2013. Nos résultats montrent que le contrôle par la dette à court terme peut, dans une certaine mesure, se substituer aux mécanismes traditionnels de gouvernance. Tout d’abord, la concentration de l’actionnariat mesurée par les deux premiers actionnaires est associée positivement à la maturité de la dette jusqu’au seuil de détention des droits de vote proche de 56 %, puis négativement au-delà de ce seuil (relation en forme de U inversé). Ensuite, la nature de l’actionnariat, à savoir l’actionnariat familial, ainsi que l’actionnariat dirigeant, sont également associées positivement à la maturité de la dette jusqu’au seuil respectif de détention des droits de vote proche de 44 %, et 15 %, puis négativement au-delà de ces seuils. L’actionnariat financier est associé positivement à la maturité de la dette.(VA)The aim of our research is to study the link between ownership structure and debt maturity. The study is performed on a sample of Euronext listed French companies over the 2011-2013 period. Our results show that the monitoring by short-term debt can, to a certain extent, be a substitute for traditional governance mechanisms. First, the ownership concentration measured by the two largest shareholders is positively associated with debt maturity until the threshold of voting rights close to 56%, and negatively over this threshold (inverted u-shape relationship). Then, the nature of ownership, i.e. family ownership and managerial ownership are also positively associated with debt maturity until the threshold of voting rights respectively close to 44%, and 15%, and negatively over this threshold. The institutional investor ownership is positively associated with debt maturity.
