Secondary title: | Mergers and acquisitions with a case study of two banks |
Secondary abstract: | In this master thesis we have analyzed the merger of Wachovia and Wells Fargo banks, which was finalized at the end of the year 2008. With the help of the literature review we have learned about the main legal and economic sources in this field, which has helped us with the definition of our case. The main purpose of this research was ex-post interpretation of the merged bank’s performance in comparison with the ex-ante operation beforehand. The analyzed period was between the years 2004 and 2012. We have tried to define the successfulness of the merger through three aspects. Those were banking operating performance, capital adequacy and liquidity as well as shareholders perspective. Based on these factors we have tested three hypotheses. Throughout the analysis we have found out that the biggest advantage of this merger was a higher capital adequacy and liquidity. To a certain extent the efficiency was improved as well. Higher financial stability and lower financial leverage affected the business performance and dividend policy in a negative way. After the merger Wells Fargo nonetheless became the fourth largest bank in United States in terms of revenue. |
