摘要
本文证明了声誉较好的顶级财务顾问会根据不同的客户目标,因事制宜地发挥其专业能力。具体的,本文发现当机会主义客户追求完成并购计划以实施买壳上市,获得增发资格或保壳时,顶级财务顾问的作用主要体现在提升并购完成率方面;而当非机会主义客户追求更优的并购绩效时,顶级财务顾问的作用主要体现在提升并购绩效方面。本文的证据倾向于支持顶级财务顾问具有更为出色的专业能力,并发现客户目标会显著影响顶级财务顾问专业能力优势的发挥方向,从而为并购市场财务顾问能力问题的争论,提供一个统一性的解释可能。然而,站在社会福利的角度,顶级财务顾问帮助提高了机会主义并购的成功率,这会对社会资源的有效配置造成负面的影响。
This paper provides empirical evidence to demonstrate that top M&A financial advisors are very good at helping clients either perform better after M&A or enhance the certainty of completing a M&A transaction,depending on each client's specific requirement.We divide financial advisor's clients into opportunists and non-opportunists. The former seeks to get listed through reverse merger,obtain refinancing qualification or protect listed shell and they pay more attention to the certainty of completing a M&A transaction than to the post-M&A performance,while the latter prefers better post-M&A performance to higher certainty of completing a M&A transaction.Our evidence implies that top financial advisors of non-opportunists are more able to help clients perform better after M&A and help opportunist clients enhance the certainty of completing a M&A transaction. Therefore,we unify the existing debatable literature on the role of top financial advisors by introducing clients' requirement as a variable.

(1)这里的非机会主义并购还包括了大股东通过并购掏空中小股东的可能[8]。但在掏空情况下,并购方也会看重并购的短期绩效。所以即使考虑掏空的情况也不影响我们对机会主义和非机会主义并购的分类。
(2)2014年10月24日证监会令[109号]发布的《上市公司重大资产重组管理办法》提出自2014年11月23日起除借壳上市和发行股份之外,上市公司的重大资产重组不再需要经过证监会的行政许可,结束了长期以来所有重大资产重组均需要得到证监会的审批才能得以实施的状况。
(3)本文仅关注资本市场管制下的机会主义并购动机对财务顾问作用的影响。
(4)2006年证监会发布的《上市公司证券管理办法》规定增发新股的公司最近三年净资产收益率不得低于6%。根据我国上市公司特别处理与退市制度,如果上市公司经营连续两年亏损,将被特别处理(被ST),如果连续三年亏损则被暂停上市(被PT)。
(5)根据CSMAR数据库披露的2008-2014年重大资产重组数据,约32%的重组发生在上市公司与同一控股的非上市公司之间,涉及关联方的并购占52%。
(6)重大资产重组是指上市公司及其控股或者控制的公司在日常经营活动之外购买、出售资产或者通过其他方式进行资产交易达到规定的比例,导致上市公司的主营业务、资产、收入发生重大变化的资产交易行为。
(7)本文也分别以预案宣告前后一天的CAR(-1,+1)与BHAR(-1,+1),以及前后五天的CAR(-5,+5与BHAR(-5,+5),代替CAR(-2,+2)与BHAR(-2,+2)进行回归,发现结果没有发生实质性的改变。
(8)阅读每个重组样本的并购审核结果公告,如果通过审核Pass=1,如果被否决则Pass=0。
