Abstract

Corporate restructuring always plays an essential role to restore the financial health of many companies worldwide. In Indian context, open offer is a prominent tool in takeovers to safeguard the rights of minority shareholders. This study focuses on 'change in control' objective of open offer and its effects on the wealth of objective firm's shareholders. The present study used a sample of 96 offers which were based on 'change in control' objective during 2015-2017. The research is based on event study approach, ARs, and CAARs were used to analyse the effects of open offer on sample firms within the event window of 41 days. The results reflected that 'change in control' motive has significant positive impact on majority of companies in India with 22.38% cumulative estimation errors. The study concluded that if such an objective of an open offer can be anticipated well, then the investors can have a jackpot bonanza.
