In this study, we set out to examine whether there are short-run and long-run abnormal returns following public announcements of 319 private equity placements Taiwan during the 2005-2015 period. We analyzed the relationships among the abnormal return, corporate governance and the discount of private equity placements. We found positive abnormal returns in the short-run period around the announcement of a private placement but negative abnormal returns in the relatively long-run period following the announcement of a private placement. A higher average of monthly abnormal returns over the six months prior to the announcement of a private placement is related to a smaller price discount. When controlling for 6-month abnormal return prior to the private placement and corporate governance variables, a higher collateralized ratio by block shareholders would have a larger discount of the equity. A higher ratio of external supervisor seats over all supervisor seats resulted in a smaller price discount (the 5-th day before the shareholders' meeting date). Finally, a higher ratio of institutional ownership was related to a smaller discount (closing price on the 5-th and 10-day after the pricing date). |
