Recent Delaware Law Updates Affecting M&A Transactions

This program will cover recent opinions of the Delaware courts on important aspects of M&A agreements, including remedies for damages based on “lost premiums” available to sellers and the parties capable of brining those claims and equitable limits on specific performance, as well as equitable and process considerations, including the standard of review applicable in controller buyouts as well as claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty on the part of buyers.  

 

The program will address, among others, the Court of Chancery’s opinion in Crispo v. Musk finally resolving Delaware’s take on so-called “Con Ed provisions” as well as the opinions in Smart Local Unions and Councils Pension Fund v. BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., In re Columbia Pipeline Group, and 26 Capital Acquisition Corp. v. Tiger Resort Asia Ltd.  Materials summarizing these and other opinions will be available.
