Contractual Remedies In Mergers: Lessons From Crispo V. Musk, Dhruv Aggarwal, Albert H. Choi, Geeyoung Min Jun 2024

Contractual Remedies In Mergers: Lessons From Crispo V. Musk, Dhruv Aggarwal, Albert H. Choi, Geeyoung Min

Law & Economics Working Papers

The Delaware Chancery Court recently restricted a merger target's ability to recover damages on behalf of its shareholders from a breaching buyer. This paper investigates the impact of the decision. First, we present a theoretical analysis to generate empirical predictions. Second, we show that the decision led to a decrease in the firm value of targets in mergers governed by Delaware law. Third, we hand-collect relevant provisions from merger agreements and find that the agreements governed by Delaware law increasingly include target-friendly non-price terms after the decision. We also present evidence suggesting deal price responds to the inclusion of novel …

Can Corporate Sustainability Performance (Csp) Overcome Indonesia's Corporate Debt Problems?, Johnson Ferry Febrian, Nora Sri Hendriyeni Jun 2024

Can Corporate Sustainability Performance (Csp) Overcome Indonesia's Corporate Debt Problems?, Johnson Ferry Febrian, Nora Sri Hendriyeni

Jurnal Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia

Based on IMF publications (2022), Indonesian companies have a risky debt level that may cause bankruptcy, so companies are required to make leverage adjustments to return the debt to its optimal level. In recent years, corporate sustainability performance (CSP) practices have been proven to improve performance and overcome financial problems such as debt by integrating sustainability aspects into business processes. Based on stakeholder theory and trade-off theory, this study aims to examine the effect of CSP on leverage adjustment and the role of competitive advantage, equity mispricing, profitability, and firm size in moderating this relationship. This study used a sample …

Image Reconstruction Method Based On Iterative Linear Back Projection And Logistic Forward Solver For Electrical Capacitance Tomography Measurement System, Alfred Mwambela, Josiah Nombo

Tanzania Journal of Science

Image reconstruction is one of the important tasks in the application of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) systems. Though numerous algorithms have been implemented, it is often challenging to obtain satisfactory images in all imaging regions by the use of a single algorithm due to the soft-field nature of ECT systems. The preferred iterative reconstruction algorithms are highly computationally inefficient. A new iterative reconstruction algorithm is proposed which combine iterative Linear Back Projection and Logistic Regression. In this method, the solution to the ECT forward problem is implemented using logistic regression, whereas the ECT inverse problem is solved using the algebraic …
