The Outer Limits Of Realization: Weiss V. Stearn And Corporate Dilution, Jeffrey L. Kwall, Katherine K. Wilbur

Faculty Publications & Other Works

The United States Supreme Court's 1924 Weiss v. Stearn decision involved a classic case of corporate dilution. In that case, a corporation ("Oldco') transferred its business to a new corporation ("Newco ') in a transaction in which the Oldco shareholders surrendered all their stock for 50 percent of the stock of Newco (and cash). The transaction diluted the proprietary interest of the Oldco shareholders from 100 percent to 50 percent. Because the Oldco shareholders surrendered control of the enterprise, the 50 percent interest they received in Newco was fundamentally different from the 100 percent interest they had owned in Oldco. …

The Special Interest Race To Ceo Primacy And The End Of Corporate Governance Law., Steven A. Ramirez Jan 2007

The Special Interest Race To Ceo Primacy And The End Of Corporate Governance Law., Steven A. Ramirez

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Recently, many respected business leaders have voiced concern that corporate governance in American public companies has moved toward CEO primacy or a "dictatorshipo f the CEO," and away from traditional notions of shareholder primacy. This article shows that this concern is well-founded. The current system of corporate governance tends toward management indulgences. This is clearly reflected in key legal elements of corporate governance, which embrace increasing laxity. New empirical evidence also suggests that the trend of corporate governance is away from more demanding standards that seem to reduce agency costs and enhance financial and economic performance. The model that best …
