Corporate Partner Risë Norman spoke on a panel at the New York City Bar Association's “Private Equity Structuring: The Basics” program on September 12, 2014. The panel titled “M&A and Liquidity Events for Private Equity Firms and their Portfolio Companies” included an in-depth discussion about the differences in the deal terms for financial vs. strategic buyers and sellers; due diligence liquidity events; controlling interests in investments; purchases through a Section 363 bankruptcy sale (including a discussion of converting debt to equity and credit bidding and the recent U.S. Supreme Court case); and key M&A strategies and how they work, including: deal protection terms, tender offers, going private transactions, registration rights and “drag along, tag along” rights.
