M&A markets and practice in Canada and the United States are continually evolving. While similar issues frequently arise on both sides of the border, they often manifest themselves in different ways – some subtle and some not-so-subtle. These differences can have important consequences for the deal making process and, because of the relative absence of borders in North American capital markets, should be understood by M&A professionals whether or not they are involved in cross-border transactions. It is in this context that our panellists will discuss a number of current topics of interest in the M&A market from both the Canadian and U.S. perspective, including:
-
Take-over Bid Defences
-
Reverse Break Fees, Deal Protection and Other Trends in Deal Terms
-
The Role of MAC Clauses
-
13D/Early Warning/Insider Reporting Considerations
-
Proxy Fights and Shareholder Activism
-
Merger Review and Investment Canada Processes
