The Market Trends Subcommittee of the Mergers and Acquisitions
Committee of the Business Law Section of the American Bar
Association recently released its latest edition of (i) the
Strategic Buyer/Public Target M&A Deal Points Study which
analyses acquisitions of US publicly-traded targets announced in
2014 and (ii) the Canadian Public Target M&A Deal Points Study
which analyses acquisitions of Canadian publicly-traded targets
announced in 2013 and 2014. Our colleagues on
CanadianM&ALaw.com have highlighted key
findings of these studies with respect to material adverse changes,
dissent/appraisal rights, no-shop and go shop provisions and
superior proposal and match rights, among other types of provisions
in public M&A acquisition agreements.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
