Appraisal Rights

JUNE 25, 2019

Valuation litigation plays out in a number of different business contexts. Readers of this blog will be well familiar with one of them: appraisal rights (a/k/a/ dissenters rights) actions brought when a public company is being acquired by another entity. But valuation disputes requiring the determination of fair value come up in many other contexts often not involving public companies, but instead private businesses.

For public company shareholders, a cashout merger offer (even one at a too-low price) tells you that someone wants your shares and intends to pay you cash for them. And, at least in US actions, it is the rare public-company focused appraisal case that concerns collections.

Is the “go shop” still an effective tool for ensuring the maximization of business value? Maybe not – according to recent research by Prof. Guhan Subramanian of Harvard Business School. A “go shop” provision, in short, is when a seller comes to agreement with a buyer, but then there is a post-agreement process where the seller seeks out alternative, better, deals (or ‘shops’ the company).

Appraisal Rights

JUNE 26, 2019

Appraisal is a remedy for shareholders who believe a merger is being consummated at below fair value. Appraisal is also a check on management and boards of directors – specifically, providing a ‘backcheck’ on whether the shareholder fiduciaries are achieving fair value for the company. Management buyouts are an acute case of mixed incentives for company insiders, and accordingly are a place where the appraisal remedy is particularly critical.
