Due Diligence m&a
Hi,
I have a question to those involved in M&A-transactions:
The target-company has to open its books to the bidder during the due diligence process.
Does the bidder also have to open up his books to the target?
I mean, if the transaction is structured as a share-deal, the target-company might want to know more about the bidder and about possible risks.
Thanks!
If it's a friendly deal for shares the bidder will open their books to the target. It can often be contentious though in terms of how much they disclose. Typically things will go a bit back and forth and in the spirit of executing the transaction they'll work something out. Naturally PF ownership is also a consideration when determining how much reciprocal dilligence needs to be done.
Depends. GS is actually being sued over this right now. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/business/goldman-sachs-and-a-sale-gon…
