    Abstract:

    Considering concentrated ownership,the unique tunneling behavior of controlling shareholders in China is studied. This study combines the“Entrenchment Effect”and“Bargaining Effect”to create a theoretical model on how anti-takeover provisions have affected the decision making of controlling shareholders and acquiring firms. From the minority shareholders'viewpoint,the mechanism and effect of anti-takeover provisions on shareholders'wealth,as well as the market for corporate control is explored. Subsequently,the numerical analysis supports our hypothesis. Results indicate the following: Firstly,due to the“Entrenchment Effect”,the controlling shareholder' s tunneling increases with the enhancement of anti-takeover defenses; Secondly,for acquiring firms with only one best bid price,bid prices typically increase with the degree of antitakeover defenses; Thirdly,increasing anti-takeover defenses usually result in a noticeable drop of the probability of takeover; Lastly,when takeover bargaining premiums are insufficient to offset the controlling shareholders’tunneling, enhancements to a company's anti-takeover defenses typically result in a decrease in minority shareholders'wealth.
