    This case study examines the proposed merger of Vulcan Materials and Martin Marietta both providers of construction aggregates. A stock-for-stock merger had the potential of making the company a global leader in construction materials, but was marred by disagreements over executive succession, location of new headquarters and the stock exchange proposed by Martin Marietta. Furthermore, as negotiations deteriorated Martin Marietta attempted a hostile takeover of Vulcan and also tried to get its directors appointed to Vulcan’s board. However, a court ruling determined that Martin Marietta was in breach of its NDA by using numbers determined from its merger valuation to determine the latest bid. In addition to this the court placed an injunction that prevented Martin Marietta from participating in the upcoming board elections. While the merger was unsuccessful, we use this case to study the market reaction to the merger announcement, valuation of the offer and the associated abnormal returns. We conclude with our interpretation of the proposed merger.…
