It is evident that the Ferrovial shareholders did not view the takeover in a positive light. This was because the takeover deal was satisfied with a large amount of borrowing which caused a humongous change in the firm’s leverage. Following the takeover, there was a continuous declining trend in the share price of Ferrovial following the takeover. The price went from €60.57 on 31 May 2006, hitting a low of €50.76 on 16 June 2006, to a €58.56 at the close of the month. Though Ferrovial had made cash payment for BAA and the takeover did not dilute the ownership of Ferrovial, the stock prices continued to decline in the following years. The current share price of Ferrovial is down to a €19.38.BAA employees:Ferrovial had indicated that it would ‘sell its 50% interest in Bristol airport to co-owner Macquarie’. In addition, the Spanish company also expressed intentions for cutting costs at BAA to make it even more profitable (Lea, Robert, 2006). This obviously aroused great fear in the employees of BAA. Employees also believed that Ferrovial was unfamiliar with the industry and would, therefore, be unable to bring much improvement to BAA.
