Relationship with other countries Domestic country’s
? ? ? ? current economic conditions current capital market conditions balance of payment position foreign exchange reserve position

? (eg) In early 1990s, India’s Balance of Payments position was precarious and forex reserves were at the lowest. Reforms in capital markets and other areas were initiated around this time

?

At different points of time, different countries or regions are in favour
? reflection of
? economic conditions ? industrial climate ? Government policies

? (eg) After Lehman collapse and following global credit crisis, no demand for bonds and interest rates went up. In the last quarter of 2009, Indian papers were again in demand and rates came down to even LIBOR + 250 bps ? (eg) In 2004, investors shifted from over-exposure to Taiwanese papers to Indian FCCBs ? (eg) India and China are favoured destinations today back

?

At different times, different financial instruments or different markets are favoured
?
? ?

(eg) shift from Luxembourg Stock Exchange to NYSE and NASDAQ
? Primary reason : IT companies in India wanted exposure to U.S. markets

(eg) shift from American markets to LSE (AIM)
?

primary reason : AIM offered less stringent regulations

(eg) demand for FCCBs of Indian companies
? ? high demand during 2004 to 2006 when markets fell (2008-09), no inclination to convert to equity demand for FCCBs revived after September, 2009
? ? FCCBs were bought back at huge discounts during 2009 some FCCBs are swapped for new bonds with later maturities and lower yields ? nearly USD 15 billion worth issued, maturing in 2009-11

?

?

(eg) demand for ADRs / GDRs of Indian companies
? ? demand was high till 2007 and then dropped in 2008 demand is reviving in 2009
? TATAs and Vedanta Group have raised large amounts in mid-2009

?

In general, funds sourced in international markets is expected to lower the overall cost of capital for companies from illiquid and/or segmented capital market regions Primary reasons
? Sourcing of funds from illiquid markets is generally costlier than funds from liquid markets ? Using the CAPM model for cost of equity, the risk premium and expected rate of return are based on international markets and not local markets
? Risk premium in local markets is higher than that in international markets

?

Interest rate at which a corporate can raise funds
? after-tax interest rate is usually considered ? after-tax interest rate = interest rate X (1-tax rate)

?

Hindalco’s acquisition of Novelis was partly funded by internal accruals

Loans from local banks and financial institutions Loans from foreign sources Bridge loans from local or foreign sources Issue of bonds Locally or abroad
Hindalco’s acquisition of Novelis was partly funded by borrowings

? ? ?

Issue of equity
?

? ?

Stock swaps Leveraged Buy-outs (LBOs)
?

(eg) Tata Tea’s acquisition of British Tetley in 2000 and Tata Steel’s acquisition of Corus in 2007

?

Which currency to use ?
? Home currency, target country’s currency another currency like USD, Euro, GBP ? Will currency fluctuations between finalisation of deal and execution of deal affect cost of acquisition ? ? Can currency fluctuations influence timing of purchase ?
? (eg) in July, 2008 the takeover consideration of AnheuserBusch, an American company, by In-Bev, a Belgian-Brazilian company was influenced by the USD-EURO rates

? ? ? ? ?

Let’s take a hypothetical case Company X of India negotiated to buy Company Y in U.S.A. Price was fixed at USD 10,000 After fixing the price, before payment, USD depreciated against INR Now, Company X will have to pay a lower amount than what it would have paid earlier But, if the funding came out of borrowings in U.S.A. in USD, then it will not help the Indian company So, exchange rates also have a role in M & A cost back
? (eg) earlier it would have paid Rs. 45 X 10,000 ? now it has to pay only Rs. 40 X 10,000

? ?

? ?

Use of borrowed funds for acquiring a company Primarily used by a private equity firm
? To acquire a public company
? The public company becomes private ? The company is restructured ? Later the private company goes in for an IPO

? The private equity firm uses the assets of the target company as security for the borrowing ? The private equity firm uses the future cash flows of the target company for servicing the debt (dividend flows from target company) ? The debt is without recourse to the private equity firm

?

When management and employees of a company use borrowed funds to save a company from liquidation, it takes a form similar to LBO (known as Management buy out or MBO)

?

Example of TATA Tea acquisition of Tetley of U.K.
? Tate Tea set up a subsidiary in U.K. with around GBP 70 mn ? The SPV borrowed GBP 235 mn (3.36 times its capital of GBP 70 mn)
? This subsidiary was used as a SPV for the acquisition ? The Tetley acquisition price was GBP 271 mn ? Legal and other costs amounted to GBP 9 mn. ? Working capital requirements came to GBP 25 mn.

?

?

?

The borrowing was on the strength of Tetley brand and assets The entire debt was to be serviced out of Tetley’s operations Why LBO ?
? One reason is limitation on OFDI – not more than x% of networth of acquirer back

? ? ?

Most popular practices LBO route / SPVs in target countries / SPVs in tax havens Cash transaction
? Cash generated from internal accruals ? Cash generated from borrowings
? Overseas sources : ECBs, FCCBs

? Borrowings from Indian sources / overseas sources

?

Though other practices are allowed, not much utilised

?

Stock Swaps is a popular practice with other countries
? India does not resort to stock swaps much because
? Indian promoters not willing to dilute control ? Cost of equity being higher than cost of debt, Indian acquirers to borrow and pay cash rather than go for a stock swap ? Overseas sellers of target company are of the opinion that Indian companies are not managed professionally ? Also, Capital markets in India and markets for Indian shares overseas not as liquid and developed as investors wish ? Also, foreign investors do not understand Indian regulations and markets so well as do FIIs or other funds such as hedge funds or private equity funds ? Also, sellers are not sure of the valuations of the Indian company back
