Abstract

The opposition of some shareholders to the proposed merger of stockbrokers GK Goh and Vickers Ballas in Singapore highlights a number of interesting issues pertaining to the valuation of companies in mergers and acquisitions. In particular, what are rationalisations for market capitalisation versus book value? The case also discusses the appropriateness of schemes of arrangement as a means to effect a merger and the judiciousness of appointing independent financial advisors to advise minority shareholders.
