Shareholder information and partial tender offers

Author

Listed:
  • Dalkır, Elif

Abstract

The raider faces a winners’ curse problem, when the target shareholders have private information about the post takeover value. Using Marquez and Yılmaz (2008) framework, we show that this problem can be partly mitigated by using partial tender offers.
