Description本文对中国制药企业并购溢价影响因素进行了研究,提出了对制药企业并购非常重要的两个新的影响因素:可生产药品批文和在研新药批文。本文以2011年1月—2019年12月间我国制药行业上市公司并购事件为样本,对在研新药和可生产药品批文的价值从四个维度度量:是否有在研新药和可生产药品批文;在研新药数量及可生产药品批文数量;根据创新药和仿制药两个类别进行细分;标的企业所拥有的在研新药和可生产药品批文的市场价值。论文发现药品批文对企业并购溢价的影响不是很显著。进一步的,本文探究了药品批文对主并企业的对被并购公司的估值的影响。实证结果表明,我国制药企业在并购估值时确实会考虑到在研新药和可生产药品批文的价值。本文还发现对于可生产药品来说,相对创新药,被并购公司持有的仿制药批文影响更显著。而对于在研新药来说,主并企业更看重在研的创新药,在研仿制药对并购估值的影响不大。最后,本文选取了两个代表性案例进一步分析和探讨药品批文对企业并购的影响。

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have been playing a very significant role in the capital market. Many companies regard mergers and acquisitions as an important way for their business expansion and transformation. This paper begins with a review of literature on firm’s motivations of and outcomes in M&A, and followed by a critical examination of three case studies of actual M&A transactions based on the insights provided from the literature review. For each case study, a firm’s motivations and related managerial initiatives for M&A activities were examined, followed by an assessment of the firm’s post M&A performance results. This allows the study to discerns the insights of why and how a firm proceed in its M&A transactions from its strategic intent to its post M&A managerial actions. Collectively, the results show that the key drivers for a firm’s M&A successes rest on a firm’s abilities to manage the M&A activities consistent with its strategic intent (e.g., creating synergies or transformation through diversification) and followed by its post M&A integration efforts in achieving its strategic intent.

Description本文基于我国2006-2020年间IPO的上市公司上市当年的样本数据,研究了IPO视角下大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性的影响效应及影响机制。首先从机理上探讨了大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性的影响效应、中介机制和调节机制,并相应地构建了本文的三个研究假说。接下来,本文构建了证研究框架,具体包括模型构建、变量选择与数据选取三方面。最后,进行实证分析以验证本文的三个研究假说。通过实证研究,本文发现:首先,大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性存在显著影响,具体表现为大股东控制权中直接持股比重越高,上市公司盈利成长性则越低;第二,在大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的负影响中,存在着来自公司主营业务投入的负向中介效应,约占总影响效应的0.162;第三,在大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的负影响中,还存在着来自公司主营业务利润的负向调节作用,并且在考虑调节作用后,大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的直接影响不再显著;第四,大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的影响效应及其具体作用机制主要存在于制造业公司中,而在非制造业公司中并不明显。 最后,基于研究结论,本文从上市公司治理的角度提出两点提升公司盈利成长性的对策建议:一是上市公司尤其是制造业上市公司,在经营管理中应适度引入外部投资机构;二是上市公司在经营管理过程中应注重于主营业务的发展。

Description并购重组一直是提升企业经营效率、增强市场活力的重要力量。我国政府也一直积极鼓励企业间的并购重组以推动资源的优化配置,使得我国并购重组市场一直较为活跃,交易数量和规模屡创新高。然而交易双方的信息不对称可能导致并购方支付过高的并购溢价,损害并购方价值。针对这一问题,证监会于 2008 年开始实施《上市公司重大资产重组管理办法》,要求当标的资产估值是基于未来预期收益时,如果标的资产未来三年的实际盈利低于承诺利润,交易对方需以现金或股份形式对并购方进行补偿。因此,业绩承诺的政策初衷是防止被并购方操纵资产价格、保护并购方和外部投资者的利益。但近年来,部分公司与标的方合谋制定高业绩承诺以换取高估值溢价,继而引发财务造假、减持套现、利益输送、股价崩盘等一系列问题,比如曾被称为“游戏第一股”的掌趣科技从 2013 年开始疯狂并购多家公司并签订相应业绩承诺,公司股价随之飙升,华谊兄弟等大股东和管理层趁机大规模减持,累计套现近60亿,导致中小股东利益严重受损,资本市场对业绩承诺的质疑也日益增加。因此并购重组业绩承诺实现的影响因素及其作用机制成为近年来学术界的研究热点。上市公司进行并购交易时,通常会根据自身财务状况、股权结构、融资成本等因素设计并购支付方式。根据中国证监会 2014 年发布的 《关于修改<上市公司收购管理办法>的决定》 的规定,上市公司收购可采用现金、证券、现金与证券相结合等合法方式支付收购价款。收购方无论采取何种支付方式,都是期望通过优化配置资源、改善经营绩效和增加股东财富。自股权分置改革以来,我国的资本市场正不断完善,并购支付方式也逐渐走向多元化。但是由于信息不对称等问题的存在,业绩承诺协议中的支付方式选择和补偿方式选择也可能会滋生并购双方进行利益输送的温床。因此,在该背景下,研究支付方式对业绩承诺的影响机制具有重要的理论和现实意义。 本文以2014-2018年我国A股主板上市公司为研究样本,以“提出问题-理论分析-实证分析-研究结论”为基本思路,运用委托代理理论、信息不对称理论、信号传递理论以及控制权等理论,分析企业并购支付方式的影响因素和支付方式对业绩承诺影响的作用机制,并提出本文的研究假设,通过描述性统计分析、二元逻辑回归和多元线性回归分析等研究方法对研究假设进行实证检验,得出本文的研究结论。 本文主要的研究工作和内容如下: 根据本文的研究主题,梳理了并购、支付方式、业绩承诺等方面已有研究文献,指出已有研究文献的贡献和不足,进而提出本文的研究问题。 在理论分析和作用机理方面,本文运用代理理论、信息不对称理论、融资优序理论、控制权理论等针对支付方式的影响因素以及支付方式对业绩承诺影响的机理进行分析,据此提出本文的研究假设。 在实证研究方面,运用描述性统计分析、二元逻辑回归和多元线性回归分析等方法检验了股权集中度、现金持有量和市场估值对支付方式选择的影响,利用中介效应检验验证了资本结构、股权制衡以及税负协同在支付方式与业绩承诺之间的作用路径,得出本文的实证结论,最后采用更换实证模型方法和主要研究变量的方法进行了相应的稳健性检验。 最后给出本文的主要研究结论,指出本文的研究局限和未来研究方向。 本文的主要研究结论如下: (1)股票支付方式更有利于实现业绩承诺。通过多元统计回归分析和中介效应检验,以及现金支付和股权支付下的业绩承诺兑现进行均值差异检验,均发现两种不同支付方式下的业绩承诺兑现效果是显著存在差异的。(2)在理论上解释了支付方式影响业绩承诺的机理。运用信息不对称下的信号理论、资本结构理论、公司控制权以及协同理论,阐述了支付方式影响业绩承诺的机理,业绩承诺的兑现是支付方式、资本结构、公司控制权结构等多种因素综合作用的结果。选择不同的支付方式来源于企业不同的融资方式,差异化的融资方式就会导致企业在并购完成后形成不同的资本结构和股权结构,从而给企业带来财务协同和管理协同效应,同时,由于我国税收制度的改革,对不同的支付方式均能够影响并购参与方的税收变化,能够产生税收协同效应,从而有利于实现企业的业绩承诺。 (3)在并购支付方式影响因素的研究中,运用多元回归统计回归的方法分析方法验证了现金持有量、股权集中度和市场估值是影响企业并购支付方式的重要因素。其中,股权集中度与支付方式的回归系数为负数,说明股权集中度越高,企业越倾向于选择现金支付;现金持有量与股份支付之间存在负相关的关系,即公司现金持有水平越高,企业越偏好选择现金支付;市场估值与股份支付的回归系数为正,说明企业并购支付方式具有择时效应,当上市公司股价较高时,上市公司会利用股票溢价来减少实际支付的金额。 (4)在支付方式对业绩承诺的兑现的研究中,运用逻辑回归和中介效应检验的方法,证实了支付方式能够对业绩承诺直接产生影响外,还发现资本结构、股权制衡和税负在其中发挥了中介的作用,其中相比现金支付,股权支付会引起股权结构和债务结构的变化,通过风险共担以及股权结构的优化,在一定程度上能够一直股权制衡带来的寻租成本,从而有利于业绩承诺的兑现。股权支付能够获得递延交纳资本利得税、应计折日和资产增加等税收协同,也助力了业绩承诺的实现。与此同时,发现并购企业自身规模、被并购企业的规模、并购的类型以及是否是关联并购也起到了一定的影响,这为企业如何实现业绩承诺提供了参考。 本文的创新之处体现在: (1)研究视角的创新。以往关于并购支付方式的研究主要关注支付方式的选择对并购绩效的影响,鲜少考虑业绩承诺这一前提下二者之间的关系。本文综合考量当并购双方签订业绩承诺的情况下,企业的并购目标不同于简单追求控制权的转移,增加了对并购长期战略目标的关注,分析支付方式对业绩承诺的影响及其作用机制。本文基于业绩承诺视角研究支付方式对并购绩效的影响,进一步扩展了并购领域的研究视角。 (2)研究方法的创新。利用中介效应检验模型验证支付方式对业绩承诺的影响。支付方式作为并购战略的重要组成部分,对于能否顺利实施并购战略具有重要的意义,以往的研究大多选择结构方程进行因素检验,本文采用中介效应的三步法进行验证,发现支付方式既有直接效应,同时还验证了资本结构、股权制衡和税收协同的部分中介作用,本研究有助于丰富和完善支付方式对业绩承诺影响的研究内容。 (3)研究方向和内容的创新。本文采用本文改变现有文献通过设置虚拟变量的方式将股份支付和现金支付截然分开,把并购案例中股份支付对价与并购支付总对价之间的比率作为并购支付变量,并购支付变量设计成连续变量;同时,本文以并购完成后样本公司的资本结构、股权制衡和税负变化衡量并购带来的协同效应为中介变量,详细分析支付方式对业绩承诺影响的作用机制,完善并丰富了并购领域的研究。

This study investigates the performance effects of cross-industry mergers and acquisitions (M&A) using a sample of firms listed in China’s Growth Entrepreses Market (GEM). Compared to firms listed in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, firms listed in the GEM are much smaller and tend to derive the majority of their revenues from a single industry. I first analyze the motives for firms listed in the GEM to engage in M&As and propose a set of factors that may influence their likelihood of M&A activities. Using data on 55 cross-industry M&As between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016, I find that investor generally responded positively in short-term, as indicated by the positive accumulated abonormal returns over the first five trading days following the announcements. Meanwhile, I found no evidence that investors benefited from cross-industry M&As in long-term over three years after the event. Further analysis suggests that the short-term effects of cross-industry M&As by GEM listed firms were influenced by the target firm’s market valuation, whether the M&A was paid by cash, the amount of the payment, and the degree of difference between the acquiring firm’s and the target firm’s industries. These findings have important implications for the investors and senior executives of firms listed in the GEM.

On January 30, 2019, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the Implementation Opinions on the Establishment of the Science and Technology Innovation Board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Pilot Registration-based System, announcing the establishment of a new Science and Technology Innovation Board(STAR). The STAR Market is an important measure in China's capital market reform, aiming to promote the transformation of China's economy from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. The companies listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board are mainly scientific and technological innovation enterprises that are at the forefront of the world's science and technology, the main battlefield of the economy, and the major needs of the country, in line with the national strategy, breaking through key core technologies, and with high market recognition. Since its launch on July 22, 2019, to May, 15, 2023, there are 522 companies have been listed on the STAR Market, with a total market capitalization of more than RMB 7 trillion. The successful listing of these enterprises will provide strong support for the deep integration of China's high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries.This paper analyzes the influencing factors of IPO listing pricing on the STAR Market, and studies 1478 companies listed on the three listing platforms of the STAR Market, ChiNext and Hong Kong stocks. Through descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate regression model, the influencing factors of the 1st day and the 20th day were empirically studied. The results of the study will provide a pricing reference for ii listed companies in the future, and provide a reference for policymakers to meet the expectations of the new regulatory reforms. Through analysis of multiple factors includes but not limited as the NR,IPE, LEAD, ISCA, T10, AOL, BC, STL, RDI, CAGR, DTOR, these influencing factors have an important impact on the IPO of the STAR Market.
