Abstract

In recent years, the speed of firms going private in the UK has slowed down. This paper examines whether undervaluation, hostile takeover and lower growth prospects will affect the public to private transaction based on the uncertain economic environment after financial crisis. It supports the management undervaluation and short term actual undervaluation hypothesis by analyzing the data of United Kingdom from 2009 to 2017.
