Mergers and Acquisitions

Corporate directors and officers have a legal obligation to maximize shareholder value in considering and negotiating the terms of a proposed merger or acquisition. When executives fail to appropriately protect the financial stake of investors in such a transaction, shareholders can bring a direct class action to make the terms more favorable and ensure the disclosure of material facts. 

Motley Rice litigates deal cases on behalf of investors seeking to:

• increase per-share consideration
• compel the disclosure of key facts to ensure a fair and informed shareholder vote 
• address coercive terms designed to discourage competing bids
