FM – Nov 2021 – L3 – Q4 – Corporate Governance and Financial Strategy

Assess LL's corporate objectives, the finance director's view, and treasury strategies within a low-interest economic environment.

Question

Leye Limited (LL) is a privately-owned toy manufacturer in Nigeria, operating internationally as both a supplier and a customer. While privately owned, LL’s revenue and asset base are comparable to some publicly listed companies. It has numerous shareholders but has no plans for public listing. Major shareholders have expressed an interest in buying out smaller investors.

LL has a strong history of profitability, which satisfies both directors and shareholders. They avoid strategies that increase risk significantly, such as acquisitions or overseas manufacturing setups, accepting a comparatively lower growth rate than competitors.

The company’s capital structure is composed of 70% equity and 30% debt (based on book values), with debt comprising secured and unsecured bonds carrying interest rates between 7% and 8.5%, maturing in 5 to 10 years. In a low-inflation and potentially declining interest rate environment, the company treasurer is exploring refinancing options.

LL’s primary financial objective is annual dividend growth, with a non-financial objective of treating all stakeholders with fairness and equality. The Board is currently reassessing these objectives. While the new Finance Director advocates for shareholder wealth maximization as the sole objective, other directors favor a balanced approach, including goals such as profit after tax, return on investment, and operational performance improvements.

Required:

a. Evaluate the appropriateness of LL’s current objectives and the Finance Director’s suggestion. Discuss the issues the Board should consider in setting new corporate objectives, concluding with a recommendation. (10 Marks)

b. Discuss factors the treasury department should consider when formulating financing or refinancing strategies in the given economic context. Explain how these factors might influence the determination of corporate objectives. (10 Marks)

FM – Nov 2022 – L3 – Q7 – Corporate Governance and Financial Strategy

Analyze the Chairman's proposals to improve EPS and discuss methods to align stakeholder objectives.

Question

The Chairman of Opeyemi plc, a company listed on the Alternative Investment Market, has circulated a memorandum to the company’s directors and senior managers which contains the following statements:

“Looking to the year ahead, there are a number of measures which I propose to increase the company’s earnings per share (EPS).

Payments to trade creditors should be made as late as possible, even if this means extending our credit beyond the terms allowed by our suppliers. The company currently runs a substantial overdraft, and this measure will cut the level of bank interest and charges.

Relatively high capital expenditure in recent years has resulted in substantial depreciation charges in the profit or loss account. All capital spending, including that on the Oloro II project – designed to reduce toxic emissions from the manufacturing plant – should be postponed except where such spending can be shown to be essential to current operations.

Staff pay should be frozen at this year’s level for the forthcoming year. The company’s sponsorship of the local charity events run by the Staff Social Club should also, regrettably, be ended.

By boosting profits and therefore EPS, these measures will help us to achieve the highest possible stock market capitalisation.”

Required:

a. Prepare a response to the Chairman’s proposals which examines the possible consequences of the proposals for the price of the company’s shares and for the company’s stakeholders. (9 Marks)

b. Discuss FOUR ways that encourage managers to achieve stakeholder objectives. (6 Marks)
