[Table 6 goes about here]
Table 7 reports regressions in which the sample is restricted to those corporations that are
group-affiliated or to those that are non-affiliated; in each case, both the 20 percent and the 10
percent levels of control are considered. These regressions confirm that the 20 percent level of
control in groups is a significant threshhold for insider expropriation. For corporations affiliated
to a group at the 20 percent level, there is a significant negative relationship between O/C and
dividends as a ratio of cash flows and also as a ratio of earnings. This reinforces the indications in
Table 6A that, within groups that are tightly controlled at the 20 percent level, corporate
managers must pay higher dividends to offset greater investor concerns about expropriation when
the O/C ratio is lower. By contrast, for corporations not affiliated to a group at the 20 percent
level, Table 7 shows that there is a significantly positive relationship between O/C and dividends
as a ratio of market capitalization and also as a ratio of sales. Thus, investors seem less alert to
expropriation in such corporations, giving insiders latitude to pay lower dividends when there is
greater discrepancy between their ownership and control stakes. However, these significantly
20
positive relationships between O/C and dividends disappear if the sample is restricted to
corporations that are not affiliated to a group at the 10 percent level.
The findings reported in the last paragraph have an interesting implication. Partition the
set of corporations that are not affiliated at the 20 percent level into two subsets: (a) those that are
not affiliated at the 10 percent level; (b) those that are affiliated at the 10 percent level but not at
the 20 percent level. We saw that subsets (a) and (b) taken together exhibited a significantly
positive relationship between O/C and dividends as a ratio of market capitalization and also as a
ratio of sales. We also saw that subset (a) fails to exhibit any significantly positive relationship
between the O/C ratio and these dividend rates. It follows that the significantly positive
relationship between the O/C ratio and these dividend rates for corporations that are not affiliated
at the 20 percent level was due mainly to subset (b), i.e., to loosely-affiliated corporations. 19
To summarize: investors appear alert to expropriation within groups with tight control
linkages at the highly-visible 20 percent level, as evidenced by the higher dividends paid by
group-affiliated corporations with a greater discrepancy between ownership and control rights.
