Shareholder Concerns in Mergers and Acquisitions
Shareholder concerns play a significant role in the success or failure of mergers and acquisitions. When companies announce a potential sale or acquisition, shareholders closely scrutinize the terms and conditions of the deal, particularly the offered price per share. In the case of Chuy’s Holdings Inc., the announcement of its sale to Darden Restaurants Inc. at $37.50 per share sparked dissent among shareholders, leading to demand letters and complaints.
