Is it normal to have the clause about the shareholders turning the merger down? Seems like one helluva way to ram it down shareholders throats without much option to say no.
- pbarnes_1 10y agoThat's why it's done.
- wtbob 10y agoAs a shareholder I would find that kind of behaviour to have been the exact opposite of the kind of duty my mangers owe me. I'm surprised it's legal.
- JauntTrooper 10y agoUnfortunately yes, it's pretty common. It's less than 3% of deal value though, so they don't lose the option to say no.
