The article’s main objective is to identify the factors influencing the financing structure and capital changes in the pre-merger periods in the acquiring companies. The authors examined the relations between various industries and different size companies. Based on the analyses, it can be concluded that in small companies, the explanatory variables identified based on the literature review were statistically insignificant in many periods (in fact almost all). Completely different behaviour was observed in the group of large companies, where the same set of explanatory variables was statistically significant. The result of the research on the existence of non-linear relationships between company parameters is that in the case of some variables, there is no question of a linear nature of dependence. The study analysed the five years preceding the mergers of 307 business entities. The source of the survey data was the database prepared by the company InfoCredit SA for the Accountants Association in Poland. The authors used Statistica software and inductive reasoning for the study – supported by Spearman’s rank correlation analysis, linear and polynomial regression analysis, and variable scatter analysis.

The purpose of the article is to present the specifics of the areas of due diligence that should be carried out in relation to mining assets, with particular reference to the copper ore mining sector. Due diligence is an important element of the investment decision making process as part of mergers and acquisitions transactions, as well as in joint ventures or the process of selection of a strategic partner. It allows the acquisition and selection of information to determine the risk and potential benefits of accompanying transactions. Due diligence is one of the key factors influencing the further success of M&A transactions, also in the mining sector.

Purpose: This study identifies and analyzes the factors that impact the financial performance of companies after a merger and acquisition transaction. Methodology: As many as 130 Polish market observations were analyzed with an OLS regression model to verify the research hypotheses. Results: The results reveal that the company’s size, performance before the transaction, and its international nature translated into improvement of post-transaction financial performance. Moreover, industry diversification transactions and CEO changes in acquiring a company had a negative impact on the company’s financial performance after the transaction. Originality: This investigation is the first study devoted to the Polish market in the research field of M&A determinants with the use of such a large sample.

The paper analyzes the mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector in Poland, and determined their impact on the structure of the sector and its effectiveness. The analysis was conducted between 2008 and 2013. In the analyzed sector was found growing concentration of capital in the form of mergers and acquisitions. All indications are that this trend will be maintained in subsequent years. Dominant share in the Polish banking sector are entities controlled by foreign investors, but in the period has been a slight decrease in this regard. In the analyzed period made as a result of mergers and acquisitions, we can observe an increase of concentration of the banking sector. In the period 2008-2013 there was a decrease in effectiveness of commercial banks; operation, which was caused by deteriorating macroeconomic situation. It can be said that the continuous consolidation processes in the period 2008-2013 have not influenced an improvement of financial results in the analysed sector, but the effects of these processes can be seen only in the long term.

This study investigates the influence of M&A on the performance of banks operating in Poland. We use a sample of 14 transactions that occurred in the Polish banking sector from 2001 to 2015. Our data set includes pre and post-merger accounting information covering a period of two years before and after the merger. We follow Pilloff’s [1996] approach to determine the average performance changes measured with ROAA and ROAE. According to the research results, M&As transactions seem to affect profitability as both ROAA and ROAE means change. However, these changes do not follow the same trend. The correlations between the acquirer’s pre-merger weighted performance measured with ROAA and ROAE and merger-related changes in performance are significant and negative. The same situation is observed as regards the target pre-merger weighted performance measured with ROAE and merger-related changes in performance. The results also suggest that large acquirers are associated with less successful M&A.

Sektor bankowy jest największym i najbardziej rozwiniętym segmentem rynku finansowego w Polsce. Główną przyczyną łączenia się podmiotów działających w tym sektorze jest dążenie do osiągnięcia korzyści, dzięki zwiększeniu rozmiarów i zakresu prowadzonej działalności. Łączenie banków umożliwia również rozszerzenie asortymentu oferowanych produktów, zmniejszenie kosztów stałych działalności banku, zwiększenie liczby posiadanych placówek, co prowadzi do zwiększenia ilości klientów i obrotów banku, skoncentrowanie funduszy własnych łączących się banków czy poprawienie jakości oferowanych produktów kredytowych. Konsolidacja w sektorze bankowym w Polsce i w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej miała inny charakter, niż w innych krajach kontynentu. Fakt ten wynikał przede wszystkim z innych warunków wyjściowych fuzji i przejęć banków, innego stopnia umiędzynarodowienia regionu oraz innych potrzeb w zakresie rozwoju systemów finansowych.

The banking sector is the largest and most developed segment of financial market in Poland. The main reason for doing mergers and/or acquisitions in this sector is increasing the size and scope of market operation. It also allows banks to extend the range of banking products, reducing the fixed costs of bank, increasing the number of owned facilities, as well as it leads to increasing number of customers or improvement the quality of banking products. M&As in the banking sector in Poland, as well as in the Central and Eastern Europe had a different character than in the rest of Europe because of a different way of internationalization of the region and different reasons of the development of financial systems.

Purpose – The research focuses on examining which characteristics can raise or diminish board effectiveness in the context of M&A activities of companies.Design/methodology/approach – The nature of the research was quantitative, and the sample was selected purposefully. The data was retrieved from four databases: ThomsonOne, Eventus, Institutional Shareholder Platform (ISS) and Compustat. The final sample consisted of 2613 mergers and acquisitions and was selected by applying the following criteria: both the bidder and the target were US-based companies, the acquirer was a listed company, the acquisition announcement took place over the period 2008 – 2017, the deal value exceeded USD 1 million, the transaction resulted in a control gain over the target company. M&A performance was assessed using cumulative abnormal return (CAR) method, while the board influence was examined using ordinary least square (OLS) regression. Five hypotheses regarding the influence of board independence, gender diversity, board size, CEO duality and type of elections were tested in the research.Findings – Two out of five hypotheses were confirmed in the study. Board independence and board classification increase bidders’ CARs over the deal announcement period.Research limitations/implications: The main limitation is related to the measurement of M&A performance, which is relatively difficult to quantify. Moreover, the method of selection of the sample, especially a higher proportion of companies from certain industries could affect the outcomes and underestimate the impact of gender diversity. Further research could investigate the deals in the long-term perspective and apply different criteria in the sample selection process.Practical implications: The outcome of this study is of importance to acquisitive and non-acquisitive companies by aiding them in finding an optimal board structure, which can effectively monitor and motivate the CEO, leading to profitable decisions concerning not only M&A but all major investments.Originality/value: The study investigates the topic of board effectiveness in the M&A context, which the research coverage is still very limited. The study covers five board characteristics and several control variables to increase the robustness of the results and ensure their correct interpretation. Finally, the sample consists of the most recent data, which enables to draw up-to-date conclusions that consider constantly developing corporate governance law and trends regarding the board structure and composition.
