| Abstrakt: | The proposed merger between MONETA Money Bank and the subsidiaries of PPF AirBank and the Czech and Slovak parts of Home Credit was to create the ffth largest bank in the Czech Republic. In this bachelor thesis, we conducted an empirical investigation of MONETA’s shareholder value creation associated with announcements related to the merger proposals. Using an event study methodology, we found that MONETA’s shareholders benefted from the proposals both when MONETA was in the position of the acquirer and when it was in the position of the target company. Since the merger ultimately did not go through and PPF’s nearly 30% stake in MONETA remained intact, we further explored possible legal remedies against an unjustifed decision not to declare dividends resulting from the oppression of the majority shareholder. We suggested a method by which a minority shareholder may exercise its fundamental right to a dividend. |
