Mergers, Acquisition and Corporate RestructuringProblems and Solutions on Exchange Ratio Exercise 1: Exchange Ratio Saviruchi Ltd (has 200000 shares outstanding) wants to acquire Durgabhavan Ltd(has 100000 shares outstanding), by exchanging its 1.6 shares for every share of Durgabhavan Ltd. Calculate the post-merger number of shares Solution: New Shares to be issued to Target = Exchange Ratio X Existing No. of shares of Target New shares to be issued to Durgabhavan = 1.6 X 100000 = 160000 Existing Shares of Saviruchi = 200000 Post-Merger Number of Shares = 200000 + 160000 = 360000 Exercise 2: Exchange Ratio Kelloggs Ltd is taking over Corn Flakes Ltd. The shareholders of Corn Flakes Ltd would receive 0.8 share of Kelloggs Ltd for each share held by them. No. of shares of Kelloggs Ltd before Merger is 250000 and No. of shares of Corn Flakes Ltd pre-merger is 175000. Calculate the post-merger no. of shares Solution: New shares to be issued to Corn Flakes = 0.8 X 175000 = 140000 Existing Shares of Kelloggs = 250000 Post-Merger Number of Shares = 250000 + 140000 = 390000 Exercise 3: Exchange Ratio Mylari Company is acquiring Harihara Company. Mylari will pay 0.5 of its shares to the shareholders of Harihara for each share held by them. Existing no. of Shares of Mylari is 500 Million and that of Harihara Co. is 250 Million. Calculate the post-merger number of shares Solution: New shares to be issued to Harihara = 0.5 X 250 = 125 Mn Existing Shares of Mylari = 500 Mn Post-Merger Number of Shares = 500 + 125 = 625 Mn Exercise 4: Exchange Ratio Rice Ltd acquires Wheat Ltd by exchanging one share for every two shares of Wheat Ltd.
