In the case of Moog Inc.(Figure Ic), the change in the distribution of ownership was triggered by the decision of William C. Moog, founder, chairman, and president of the company, to swap his stock holdings for some assets of the company. The stated reason is "difference of opinion with the board" [New York Times, February 3, 1988]. Before this decision Moog owned about 30 percent of the superior voting stock and was part of a voting agreement inside the Moog family. After his departure the company's largest shareholder became the Moog Inc. Retirement Trust Plan, which owned 13 percent of the superior voting stock. In the two days around the announcement (February 2, 1988), the voting premium jumped from 5 percent to 22 percent, an increase significant at the 99 percent level. After the event the voting premium remained significantly higher. The swap made a change in control likely, and the voting premium reflects this.
