Insider signaling and insider trading with repurchase tender offers

Article Abstract:

The author discusses the use of repurchase tender offers (RTOs) by corporations where corporations repurchase their own stock for cash. The author does not agree that the signaling theory, which concerns insider trading, explains the use of RTOs. A model is presented which would allow the use of RTOS, but limit their use for insider trading purposes.
