“…Gorton and Kahl (1999) In studying the adoption of antitakeover amendments Borokhovich, Brunarski, and Parrino (2000) provide evidence consistent with the hypotheses of Gorton and Kahl (1999) and Brickley, Lease and Smith (1988).

Moreover, if a bank holding equity is primarily interested in ensuring the service of its outstanding debt, this would con ‡ict with shareholders'interests (Brickley et al (1988), Almazan et al (1995)). …”
