Using a sample of 2,640 M&amp;A agreements announced between 2003 and 2018, we conduct the first comprehensive analysis of the impact of matching rights provisions on initial and final target premiums, controlling for other merger provisions, deal and firm characteristics. We do not find evidence to suggest that the indiscriminate usage of matching rights in the 2011–2018 period has been detrimental to target shareholders. Moreover, for the 2003–2010 period, we find a positive association between matching rights and target premiums. We also find a positive or non-negative impact on target premiums for different subsamples of potential concern based on selling method, bidder type, termination fee size, and information asymmetry. Finally, we do not find evidence that matching rights deter competing bids. Overall, the usage of matching rights appears consistent with efficient contracting, assuaging concerns raised by Restrepo and Subramanian (2017).</p>","PeriodicalId":47584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Financial Research","volume":"48 3","pages":"1249-1277"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, given the size of typical quarterly dividends, the magnitude of the estimated 30% incomplete adjustment to the dividend does not represent a viable arbitrage opportunity. Examining a longer window, we find that roughly 70% of the acquirer dividend is incorporated into the target stock price in the period two days after the dividend announcement to the ex-day.
