DIVIDEND DECISION
The IPO prospectus of a telecom company in 2002:
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our
equity shares since inception and do not expect to pay any
cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking
cash dividends should not purchase our shares.
Would it adversely affect investors interest in the IPO?
MM POSITION: Irrelevance of dividend policy
Value of a firm depends solely on its earnings power and is
not influenced by the manner in which its earnings are splitbetween dividends and retained earnings. Do you agree?

Assumptions: MM constructed their argument on thefollowing assumptions.
Capital markets are perfect and investors are rational
Information is freely available, securities are divisible,
and no investor can influence market prices.
Floatation and transaction costs are nil.
There are no taxes.
Investment opportunities and future profits of firms are knownwith certainty (MM drop this assumption later).
Investment and dividend decisions are independent.
Implications: Dividend decision can be treated as a residual decision.
Arguments in favour of the relevance of dividend decision:
Resolution of uncertainty (for investors).
Shareholders need for current income.
Transactions cost if investors have to sell a part of their
shareholding to meet current expenditure.
Possible future unwise investments by the company
Impact of taxes.

BUYBACK OF SHARES
PROF NL AHUJA

WHY: Objectives of Buy Back
Distribute surplus cash
Increase earnings per share Increase promoters holding
Support share prices in a bear-phase of the stockmarket
Prevent takeover bids
JK Lakshmi cement (Feb 2012): buy-backs more taxeffective as compared to payment of dividend
Funding of Buy BacksA Company can purchase its own shares out of:
Retained profits and free reserves,
Share premium account; or
Proceeds of any shares or other specifiedsecurities (except the proceeds of an earlier issueof the same kind of shares or specified securities).
When can a company buy-back: Conditions for beingeligible to Buy Back shares:
Authorised by the Articles of association of theCompany;
A special resolution should be passed

The buy-back of equity shares in any financial yearshall not exceed twenty-five per cent of its total paid-upequity capital in that financial year;
The buy-back can be made by a Board resolution If thequantity of buyback is or less than ten percent of thepaid up capital and free reserves;
The ratio of the debt owed by the company is not morethan twice the capital and its free reserves after suchbuy-back;
There has been no default in servicing debt orpreference shares.
Repurchase price
Assuming no income taxes and nil transaction costs, the two options
of dividends and repurchase of shares should theoretically not make a
difference to the shareholders wealth.
After a company has repurchased a part of its shares, lesser number
of shares would remain outstanding which would lead to higher
earnings per share and dividends. This would result in higher market
price of shares providing greater returns to investors by capital gains.
The company would like to offer such a price to buy-back its shares
that would leave investors not offering shares for sale no poorer than
the ones who render shares in a buy-back exercise. Such an
equilibrium price is determined as follows:
P* S x Po / (S -N)
Where P* is the share repurchase price, Po is the current market price of shares, S is the
number of shares outstanding prior to the buy-back, and N is the number of shares to be
purchased.

the number of rights required to subscribe for an additional
share, the subscription price per share, and the expiration date
of the offering.
The holder of rights has three choices: (1) exercise them and
subscribe for additional shares, (2) sell the right to subscribe
because these rights are transferable, or (3) do nothing and let
them expire.
Wealth of Shareholders The wealth of existing shareholders,
per se, is not affected by the rights offering, provided, of

BASMATI RICE IN LATE APRIL. IN MID MARCH, THE
PRICE OF BASMATI RICE IS RS. 4000 PER QUINTAL, BUT
THE FARMER IS AFRAID THE PRICE MIGHT FALL BEFORE
HIS SUPPLIES BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE APRIL. THE
APRIL BASMATI RICE FUTURES PRICE IS RS. 3900 PER
QUINTAL. IN ORDER TO HEDGE HIS POSITION, THE
FARMER ENTERS INTO APRIL FUTURES CONTRACT TOSELL 500 QUINTALS OF BASMATI RICE.
BY LATE APRIL, THE SPOT PRICE OF BASMATI RICE FELL
TO RS. 3500 PER QUINTAL. ASSUMING THE FUTURES

SWAPS
A SWAP IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO COMPANIES TO
EXCHANGE CASH FLOWS IN THE FUTURE. THE AGREEMENT
DEFINES THE DATES WHEN THE CASH FLOWS ARE TO BE PAID
AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE TO BE CALCULATED.
MECHANICS OF INTEREST RATE SWAPS:
INTEREST RATE SWAPS ARE OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC)
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE IN THE CURRENCY
MARKET.
THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF INTEREST RATE SWAP IS A
PLAIN VANILA INTEREST RATE SWAP. IN THIS SWAP, A
COMPANY AGREES TO PAY CASH FLOWS EQUAL TO INTERESTAT A PREDETERMINED FIXED RATE ON A NOTIONAL
PRINCIPAL FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IN RETURN, IT RECEIVES
-

16/27
CORPORATE FINANCE II NOTES [PART 2] BY DR NL AHUJA . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
INTEREST AT A FLOATING RATE ON THE SAME NOTIONAL
PRINCIPAL FOR THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME.
EXAMPLE: SUPPOSE MICROSOFT AND INTEL AGREED ON ATHREE YEAR SWAP INITIATED ON 1st MARCH 2012, IN WHICH
MICROSOFT AGREED TO PAY TO INTEL AN INTEREST RATE OF
5% PER ANNUM ON A NOTIONAL PRINCIPAL OF $100
MILLION, AND IN RETURN INTEL AGREED TO PAY MICROSOFT
THE SIX-MONTH LIBOR RATE ON THE SAME NOTIONAL
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT. THE PAYMENTS ARE TO BE EXCHANGEDEVERY SIX MONTHS.
THE SIX-MONTH LIBOR RATE ON 1st MARCH 2012 IS 4.2%, SO
THAT THERE IS NO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FIRST
EXCHNAGE OF PAYMENTS. INTEL PAYS MICROSOFT 0.5 * 0.042
* $100 = $2.1 MILLION ON 1ST SEPT. 2012. MICROSOFT WOULD
PAY INTEL $2.5 MILLION ON EACH 1st SEPT AND 1st MARCH.
NOTE THAT THE FLOATING RATE PAYMENTS ON A PAYMENT
DATE ARE CALCULATED USING THE 6-MONTH LIBOR RATE
PREVAILING SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE PAYMENT DATE. ON
EACH PAYMENT DATE, ONE SIDE WOULD REMIT THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PAYMENTS TO THE OTHER
SIDE.
