Debt holders receive a fixed amount
Equity holders have a claim on firm value which exceeds
liabilities to debt holders

Overview of Financial Markets
Some background: What is a Poison Pill?
“In connection with the adoption of the
Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board of Directors
declared a dividend distribution of one
Marty Lipton
preferred stock purchase right for each
outstanding share of Tegal’s common stock to
shareholders of record as of the close of
business… Under the Plan, the rights generally
will become exercisable if a person becomes
an `acquiring person’ by acquiring 15% or more
of the common stock of Tegal… If a person
becomes an ‘acquiring person,’ each holder of
a right (other than the acquiring person) would
be entitled to purchase, at the then-current
exercise price, such number of shares of
preferred stock which are equivalent to shares
of Tegal’s common stock having a value of
twice the exercise price of the right.”

2011

Hostile take-over triggers the right to exercise
the option
2-for-1 exchange means any shares not
exercised have been diluted to half their value
Acquirer cannot exercise
Is this “rights plan” actually good for

Up to now: annual compounding
Suppose you can invest $100 in an account that
compounds every six months (pays 5% every six
months)
How much do you have in six months? In one
year?
Is this the same as 10% compounded annually?
Is this the same as 10.25% compounded annually?
This rate is quoted as “10% per year with semiannual compounding” (this is the convention)
Overview of Financial Markets
Quoted Interest Rates and EAR

FORMULA: Quoted interest rates are in the
following format:
“[quoted rate] compounded [period]”
• For example: “10% compounded semi annually”
means that the investment is compounded twice a
year at a periodic rate of 5%.

99
RESULT OF FORMULA: Effective Annual Rate
(EAR) in this case is 10.25% year

Continuous Compounding





Consider increasingly frequent compounding:
annually, quarterly, daily, every second,…
What happens to the EAR?
When Compounding happens “all the time”, it is
called continuous compounding
Quoted Rate = 10%
EAR = exp(quoted rate) – 1
In our example: EAR = 10.52

APR




104
Lenders are required by law to report the Annual
Percentage Rate, APR.
APR is the Quoted Rate we discussed: APR =
periodic rate * #periods per year
The APR represents simple interest and therefore
is the incorrect way to measure annual returns
Nonetheless, credit cards and others making loans
to consumers are often required to report it
Overview of Financial Markets
Example - APR

Your credit card has the following terms:




Quoted Rate = 18%, compounded monthly
Periodic Rate = 1.5% per month
APR = 12*1.5% = 18% per year
You missed a payment of $1 today, how
much will the credit card company charge
you in a year?
