We \fnd that spreads from CDS which are written on acquirers increase\r\nby 310 bps during a symmetric \fve-day event window suggesting that investors\r\nexpect an increase in the acquirers credit risk exposure due to M&As. Next to\r\nthis baseline \fnding, we conduct a large variety of sensitivity analyses to gain more\r\ninsight into the driving factors of the rising risk perception of CDS investors due to\r\nM&A announcements."}],"type":"working_paper","date_updated":"2024-04-17T13:35:41Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}
