Workshop II - Board of Directors and the M&A Process
The second session of the series addresses important issues for companies once they have raised investor capital. With the infusion of outside capital, a company's Board of Directors will change in structure and have additional duties and responsibilities. Also, for companies that are positioning for an M&A, the M&A process will be reviewed and actions identified that will increase the chances for a successful transaction. Topics covered will include:
- Board structure and composition
- Duties and responsibilities of Board members
- Board voting rights
- M&A process
- Role and key provisions of a term sheet
- Negotiating strategy
- Preparing for an acquisition
