This paper deals with the question of which factors have to be given for
successful share repurchases that create long-term shareholder value. Center of
the thesis is the agency theory and its influence on share repurchases. Based on
theoretical findings success factors for share repurchases are derived and then
verified by case studies.
The main drivers for a successful share repurchase elaborated by this paper are a
suitable long-term executive compensation, an independent board of directors and
a shareholder structure without a majority shareholder. Additionally the findings
show that tying repurchases to certain share price thresholds improves the quality
of share repurchases.
