1 Syndicated loans in the United States ( ): Announcement Effects, Long-Term Performance and Capital Structure Issues from a Borrower Perspective. Kim-Song Le (B.Ec, M.Ec, MBA, GDip.Sc) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2007

2 Declaration and list of papers published I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Kim-Song Le The following journal and conference papers have been published from this thesis: Syndicated Loan Announcements and Borrower Value. Journal of Financial Research 27: Revolving Credit Loans, Financial Slack and Market Timing The 19 th Finance and Banking Conference. Sydney. December, Australasian The Impact of Syndication Announcements on Borrower Share Prices The 15 th Australasian Finance and Banking Conference. Sydney. December ii

3 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the impact of announcements of syndicated loans on the share prices of borrowing firms. I use a sample of 5,465 loan observations reported in the International Financing Review Platinum database to study this impact. Event study methodology is used. My overall results show significantly positive wealth effects on the borrowing firms. However, when I partition my data set into revolving credit agreements, term loans and hybrid loans, I find that the results are driven primarily by revolving credit agreements. I also observe that the size of the event window plays an important role in identifying the wealth effects for the borrowers. A five-day event window (-2, +2) shows share price response to revolving credit announcements to be significantly positive. A three-day event window (-1, +1) reveals that announcements are statistically positive for revolving credit agreements and statistically negative for term loan announcements. My results are consistent with previous studies in this area. I also distinguish between financial press announcements and information provider (IFR) announcements to cater for the potential for reporting bias. I find that both the IFR and financial press announcements are significant for the five-day window, but only the financial press results are significant for the three-day window. My study is unique in that I differentiate the impact of different sources of information on the market reaction to borrower share price. iii

4 In addition to the examination of the wealth effect, I also use the structure of the loans to examine the uniqueness of bank loans and their ability to provide financial slack. Specifically, I examine whether revolving credit loans or term loans or hybrid loans make bank loans unique and their ability to provide financial slack. I observe that out of the three structures of bank loan, only revolving credit loans allow the borrower to more precisely match the funds acquired with the firm s investment needs and to market time by borrowing at times when financing costs are attractive. Revolving credit loans are positively valued by the market both initially and over the longer term. Bank loans reduce information asymmetry, but the renegotiation characteristics of revolving credit loans allow borrowers to exploit changes in the interest rate environment, thus providing support for the market timing theory of capital structure. In contrast to puzzling results of previous studies, I present evidence of long-term positive performance following bank loans. iv

5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisors - Associate Professor Domenico Gasbarro and Professor Kent Zumwalt. Without their understanding, patience and useful supervision, it would be more challenging for me to complete this thesis. I am also very thankful to Associate Professor Ray Petridis for his valuable comments. I would also like to thank my wife Thi Nam Vuong and my son Vu Chan Le for their tireless support and understanding throughout my whole period of study. Needless to say, I also owe a great deal to finance staff of Murdoch Business School, in particular, Dr. Grant Cullen, Dr. Kaylene Zaretzky, Mrs. Marion Griffiths and of course, my supervisor Associate Professor Domenico Gasbarro for their continued support in terms of training and teaching relief. Finally, I would like to thank administrative staff of Murdoch Business School for their cheerful support during my time at Murdoch University. v
