Abstract

We empirically examine the initial loan announcement period of 96 zero-leverage firms listed on the FTSE 350 index. Our research demonstrates that there is a clear tendency that trades are executed at the ask price during the initial loan announcement period, which are regarded as favorable firm-level news. Similar results are observed for subsamples formed on the basis of trade size. Order flow disruption causes a bias in the calculation of returns around the company event announcement.
