Description

In a cash deal, the roles of the parties are distinct, but in a share for share deal it is not so clear who is the seller and who is the buyer. Also, a company that pays for an acquisition with its own stock shares both the risks and the value of the transaction with the shareholders of the company it acquires. This raises a number of issues, in particular also the question of reciprocal representations and warranties and the appropriate remedies in case of a breach. The panel will identify these issues and discuss approaches on how to handle them.
