Addresses the principal business and legal issues in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, including forms and techniques of combining two businesses, negotiation, pricing and other economic terms, due diligence, issuance of securities, antitrust, duties of managers, and the resolution of employee and other social issues. The graded work is a written proposal for an M&A transaction between two existing companies in different countries prepared by small teams. Proposals are based on publicly available financial, business, legal, and other documents and data and any other information obtained. The goal of the written work is to simulate the process in which business people, investment bankers, and lawyers work together to structure transactions across national borders. The reading covers the basic business and legal issues most frequently encountered in international mergers and acquisitions. Class discussion occasionally refers to the reading but generally covers other issues.
