As the M&A transaction volume increased rapidly in Asia-Pacific markets in these decades, it begs the question of whether the results found in the western developed markets are still applicable to the Asia-Pacific markets.

The acquiring shareholders enable to obtain a significant positive return around the announcement date in Asia-Pacific markets. However, in contrast with majority previous researches, equity-involved offer could earn a higher abnormal return than cash deal in Asia-Pacific markets. Moreover, by employing Logit regression and Ordered Probit regression, the evidences show that acquirer’s choice of payments are depend on some particular factors.
