Abstract

Control premium estimation is one of the main issues in Corporate Finance, strongly related to Corporate Governance principles and minority shareholders’ protection. Taking into account the fact that the literature mainstream within estimating control premium does not make references to the companies listed on Romanian capital market this study aims to bring more information on this issue. Control premium was estimated as the abnormal return at the moment of tender bid announcements, and the results revealed a mean around 80% and a median around 44%. Such larger control premium could be an evidence for a low minority shareholders’ protection.

Keywords: Corporate governance, Control premium, Minority shareholders’ protection, Capital markets, Romania
