				<title>Golden Parachutes Encourage CEOs to Abandon Shareholder Interests During Takeovers, New Study Finds</title>
				<link>http://www.lebow.drexel.edu/Newsroom/PressRoom/PressReleases.php?storyID=868&amp;utm_source=868&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=PressReleases</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Golden parachutes &amp;acirc; the typically lucrative payments made to CEOs when their company is acquired or their employment is terminated &amp;acirc; encourage CEOs to put personal gain before shareholder interests, say scholars in Philadelphia and London.  Their research shows that CEOs who have these generous severance deals are more likely to settle for lower acquisition premiums &amp;acirc; typically selling their firms for $249 million (&amp;Acirc;&amp;pound;158m) less, on average. 

The study was conducted by Ralph Walkling, a finance professor and executive director of the Center for Corporate Governance in the LeBow College of Business at Drexel University; Eliezer Fich, an associate professor of finance at Drexel LeBow and a Center fellow;  and Anh Tran of the Cass Business School, which is part of City University London; he recently earned his Ph.D. at Drexel LeBow.

				<description><![CDATA[There has been a resurgence of hostile takeovers in the aftermath of the financial crisis, such as the deal between Kraft and Cadbury.  From the acquirer&amp;acirc;s perspective, the current environment provides a good time to acquire weaker rivals, and mergers are seen as reward for maintaining liquidity and exercising capital prudence, says David Becher, Ph.D., associate professor of finance at Drexel University&amp;acirc;s LeBow College of Business.
