Explanation / Answer

a) # of Shares Outstanding 4,000,000.00 Shares # of Shares bought if Iyou trigger the poison pill = 21% x 4,000,000 840,000.00 Shares # of shares issued = 4,000,000 - 840,000 3,160,000.00 Shares Shares will be issued at $20 x 75% $15.00 Per share b) # of Shares Outstanding after new issue = 4,000,000 + 3,160,000 7,160,000.00 % of Ownership = 840,000/7,160,000 11.73% c) Market Value of Shares = (4,000,000 x $20) + (3,160,000 x $15) $127,400,000.00 Market price per share = $127,400,000/7,160,000 $17.79 Per share d) Loss = $17.79 - $20 -$2.21 Loss go to every other shareholder in the target firm Every other shareholder in the target firm gains = ($17.79 x 2) - ($20 +15) $0.59 Per share
