Abstract
Stock Repurchase, Capital Dilution and the Importance of Transferable Put Rights
We examine Transferable Put Rights (TPRs) which can be issued as part of a fixed price tender offer to repurchase shares. In general, TPRs are the mirror image of the rights issue in a seasoned equity offering. We start our analysis by showing how to value TPRs and what impact they have on shareholders' wealth in a very general framework, highlighting the analogy to a rights issue. Moreover we show that under the German tax code repurchasing shares by an issue of TPRs always leads to a Pareto improvement. At least some shareholders gain, compared to repurchasing shares by a fixed price tender offer without TPRs. Therefore, companies planning a share repurchase by means of a fixed price tender offer should seriously consider the usage of TPRs for the repurchase.
