Summary
This paper identifies two different theories of control premiums: One theory supposes control only benefits controlling shareholders; the other supposes control benefits all shareholders. We first examine the logical implications of each theory. We then examine the implications of each theory on the relationship between the magnitude of a control premium percentage and the percentage of controlling ownership. We analyze a database that is commonly used to quantify control premium percentages and do not find evidence to support either theory on the basis of this relationship.
