Overview
Management projections are typically a key factor in how a board of directors evaluates a potential M&A transaction and are also a key input in the financial analyses performed by financial advisors. Furthermore, the Delaware Courts have recognized that management’s best estimate of a target company’s future financial performance is among the most important pieces of information sought by stockholders in determining how to vote. Given their importance in the M&A process, projections can give rise to a variety of significant legal and other issues of which in-house and external counsel should be aware.
Our expert faculty of Kevin Miller of Alston & Bird LLP, Steven M. Haas of Hunton & Williams LLP, and Blake Rohrbacher of Richards Layton & Finger, PA will discuss these issues, including:
- Differences under Delaware and the federal securities laws regarding the disclosure of projections;
- When there are multiple sets of projections, which projections should be disclosed;
- Issues relating to preparing and providing projections for use by potential purchasers;
- Issues relating to projections provided for use by financial advisors; and
- Potential pitfalls when projections are revised during a sale process.
