ABSTRACT

The dissenter's right is the ability of shareholders to disagree with structural corporate changes such as M&A, transfer of business, and stock exchange and to sell their stocks at the appraised fair value. This paper studies empirically the determination of dissenter's right in Korea by using data on the exercise of dissenter's right from 1999 to 2005 in response to M&A of non-financial companies listed in Korea Securities Exchange. The main results of this paper are as follows. First, the exercise of dissenter's right has a significant positive relation with the appraised price and a significant negative relation with the efficiency of M&A which is measured by CAR. Second, the declaration of dissent has a significant positive relation with the appraised price but a insignificant negative relation with the efficiency of M&A. Third, shareholders of acquiring firms in mergers exercised dissenter's right more often than shareholders of target firms.
