Das Vorerwerbsrecht der Mutteraktionäre beim Börsengang einer Tochtergesellschaft

Beschreibung

In Germany, it has been controversially discussed whether equity carve-outs, in which the parent firm sells a portion of its ownership in a subsidiary via an IPO, do require any coercive preemptive rights in favor of the parent's shareholders. Jörn Kowalewski examines the scope of legal investor protection in such cases from the perspective of comparative law as well as by means of a comprehensive economic analysis.
It is now broadly accepted that equity carve-outs, in which the parent firm sells a portion of its ownership in a subsidiary via an IPO, do not require any coercive preemptive rights in favor of the parent's shareholders. Jörn Kowalewski examines the scope of legal investor protection in such cases from the perspective of comparative law as well as by means of a comprehensive economic analysis including neoclassical economics, neo-institutional economics and the behavioural finance approach of the capital market theory. He distinguishes between various market situations and different types of equity carve-outs and argues that, contrary to the prevailing opinion, in the particular constellation of hot markets, preemption rights are both economically efficient and legally binding.
