Dividend Policy: Theory and Practice Why do corporations pay dividends? Does paying dividends  S/H wealth?

Chhachhi/BA 519/Ch. 182 Mechanics of dividend payment Decl. date Ex-div. Record Pmt. 3/4/03 4/17 (Th.) 4/21 (M) 5/9 Last day you can buy stock and get dividend:4/16/02 S.P.  by the $ amount of dividend on the ex-dividend date (theoretically)

3 Miller-Modigliani (MM)’s Dividend Irrelevance Theorem Ass.: taxes=transaction costs=0 and Firm’s investment policy is unaffected by dividend policy Firm value (0 div.) = Firm value (  div.) HOW? S/Hs receive returns in 2 forms: Dividends & Stock Price appreciation (CGs)  dividends,  the CG and vice-versa Overall S/H’s returns are identical Indifferent to dividend policy

Chhachhi/BA 519/Ch. 184 Homemade Dividends S/Hs through their actions can alter the corporate dividend policy to suit their needs thus, corporation can’t do anything for the S/Hs that they can’t do for themselves

5 If Taxes & Trans. costs  0, What should be firm’s div. policy? T div. > T capital gains Investors are not indifferent to level of dividends prefer smaller or no dividends at all Firm with a # of +NPV projects not enough $ to fund the projects & to pay dividends paying dividends  will have to raise funds in the market-- stock/bond issue investors have to pay taxes and firm has to pay issuance costs.lose-lose proposition

Chhachhi/BA 519/Ch. 186 Dividend Policy in the Real World-- Continued Managers with excess cash Should pay dividends; Otherwise they would be tempted to spend the extra money on negative NPV projects e.g., “bad” acquisitions Dividends serve as signal about firm’s future performance Clientele Effect

Chhachhi/BA 519/Ch. 187 Repurchases Repurchases can be used as a substitute (for dividends) mechanism for distributing cash Taxes make repurchases more attractive H.W. 2, 5, 7, 20
