Assume Firm A is the acquirer and Firm B is the target firm. Firm B has 10,000
outstanding shares and is trading at a current price of $17.30 and Firm A is willing
to pay a 25% takeover premium. This means the Offer Price for Firm B is $21.63.
Firm A is currently trading at $11.75 per share.
To calculate the exchange ratio, we take the offer price of $21.63 and divide it by
Firm A’s share price of $11.75.
The result is 1.84. This means Firm A has to issue 1.84 of its own shares for every
1 share of the Target it plans to acquire.
