4 Appendix III: Control Mechanisms to Divergent Voting Right From Capital Right of the Shareholder There are three mechanisms in diverging voting right from capital right: crossholding, pyramiding and dual-class equity. Crossholding defines the ownership situation where the firm A is controlled by another firm, which is controlled by A (Faccio, 2002). So the firm controls its own stocks directly and indirectly. According to Bebchuk & Morck (2000), companies in crossholding structures are horizontally connected by the cross-holding of shares. The power of the central controller is reinforced and entrenches by this connection. Pyramiding is a sub form of control chains, where a shareholder control a second-tier holding company that in turn controls that operating company, thus, the shareholder could control the operating company through the control chain (Bebchuk & Morck, 2000). Pyramids are the vertical control chain comparing with the crossholding which is more resembles the horizontal control chain. Pyramids are found to be the most popular mechanism for concentrating control at low equity involvement (La Porta et al, 1997). Dual class equity allows managers to sell the stocks in the market while still retaining a large portion of voting right by issuing different classes of shares with differential voting rights to different investors (Bebchuk & Morck, 2000). The classes of the equity are onevote-one-share and shares with less or even no voting right. Dual-class equity is used to retain the voting right after a private company goes public. According to Faccio (2002), the dual class equity is not common in countries such as Belgium, Portugal and Spain, but it is widely used in countries such as Sweden, Switzerland, Italy and South. Shareholders also combined several kinds of control mechanisms to maintain the controlling statue; this is defined as multiple control chain (Bertrand & Mullainathan,).

5 Appendix IV: Owner Identity Analysis From La Porta. (1999) Table 1 20 Largest Firms in 27 Countries Allocation to Different Owner Identities Note: cutoff at 10% Source: La Porta et al. 1999, p. 493

6 Appendix V: Measurement Process of Valuation Tobin s Q There are two approaches for calculating Tobin s q: by Lindenberg & Ross (1981) and Chung & Pruitt (1994), respectively. Lindenberg & Ross (1981) use the formula: Where = Tobin s Q by Lindenberg = year-end market value of outstanding financial claims, = year-end replacement costs of production capacity, = year-end market value of outstanding debt, = year-end market value of outstanding common stock, = year-end market value of outstanding preferred stock, = year-end book value of total assets, = year-end replacement costs of net plant, = year-end historical value of net plant, = year-end replacement costs of inventories, and = year-end historical value of inventories. This formula uses the sum of market value of outstanding debt, common stock and preferred stock to represent the market value of the firm and uses the sum of replacement values of the fixed assets and inventories and the book values of the rest of the assets to represent the total replacement costs of the production capacity. Other researchers further developed or modified this approach with enhancements in data processing (Perfect & Wiles 1995, Lewellen & Badrinath 1997, Lee & Tompkins 1999). The other approach was based on the formula supported by. They estimated the Tobin s Q as the following formula:

7 Where = Tobin s Q estimated by Chung = year-end market value of common stock = liquidation value of preferred stock = year-end book value of the firm s long-term assets = year-end book value of the short term liabilities = year-end book value of the short term assets = year-end book value of the total assets of the firm This Tobin s Q calculation assumes that the replacement costs of the plant, equipment and inventories are equal with their book values. And it proxy the market value of the debt as the book value of long term debt plus the book value of the short term liabilities net the book value of the short term assets. Marginal Q The assumption of the marginal q is that any investment should be estimated of its net present value (NPV) before the implementation. The firm should only invest when the NPV is positive, which means that the investment is value creating; otherwise, the firm is should reject the investment because it will subtract value from the shareholders. The present value of the investment and the return on a marginal investment (the approximation of marginal q) could be expressed in the following formula: Where, = the present value of the cash flows generated by the investment at time t

8 = the investment cost at time t = the discount rate at time t, it is also the opportunity cost of capital. = the quasi-permanent rate of return.

9 Appendix VI: Study of Faccio & Lang (2002) Faccio & Lang (2002) investigates the popularity of the control mechanisms and finds the divergence level of 13 European countries. Table 2 Percentage of Firms Using Different Control Mechanisms Country Number of firms Pyramids Holdings through multiple control chains Crossholdings Controlling owner alone Management Austria Belgium Finland France Germany Ireland Italy Norway Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland UK Total Source: Faccio & Lang (2002), p.389 Faccio & Lang only include the 3,300 firms with controlling shareholders at the 20% level. Pyramids report the percentage of firms whose largest controlling shareholder adopts pyramids as control devices. Holdings through multiple control chains report the percentage of firms whose largest controlling shareholder adopts at least 5% of holdings through multiple control chains as control devices. Cross-holdings report the percentage of firms whose largest controlling shareholder adopts cross-holdings as control devices. Controlling owner alone reports the percentage of firms that have single controlling owners. Management reports the percentage of firms whose top managers come from the largest shareholder s family. The table presents the percentage of firms controlled by different controlling owners at the 20% threshold.
