This study investigates the effects of venture capital (VC) investment on newly listed firms' merger and acquisition activities and takes the lock-up period into consideration. We find that venture capitalists (VCs) tend to postpone M&A activities during a lock-up period, whereas the inhibition role recedes when the lock-up period expires. VCs with a longer investment period dominate this influence. We also illustrate how the market responds to the M&A announcements of VC-backed firms, with the response varying with VCs' investment period. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
