Explanation / Answer

a. 25% of 12 million shares = 3,000,000 or 3 million

Thus number of new shares issued = 12 million - 3 million = 9 million or 9,000,000 shares

The new shares will be issued at a 60% discount. Thus price = (1-60%)*$25 = $10

b. Total no. of shares now = 12 million+9 million = 21 million

You will own 3 million of them and so your percentage ownership = 3/21 = 14.29%

c. When poison pill is triggered then market value will be = $25*12 million + $10*9 million = $390 million

New stock price = $390 million/21 million shares = $18.57 per share

d. You lose from triggering the poison pill as your shares that were worth $25 are now worth $18.57 per share. Everyother shareholder in the target firm gains as they paid only (25+(1-0.6)*25) = $30 for shares that are worth more.
