Standing Under Section 14(E) Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934: May A Tender Offeror Sue For Injunctive Relief?, James A. Scaduto
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note examines certain legal issues arising out of the increasing popularity of cash tender offers as a means for gaining control of public companies. Specifically, this Note will examine The Williams Act and its protection against possible fraud committed by parties attempting to use cash tender offers to take control of a company. Next, the Note will review the U.S. Supreme Court decision Piper Aircraft, Inc. v. Chris-Craft Industries, Inc. to see if a tender offeror can sue for damages under section 14(e) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if it is defrauded by another tender offeror.
The Effect Of The New Sec Rules On The Constitutionality Of State Takeover Statutes, Kathleen E. Slusser
The Effect Of The New Sec Rules On The Constitutionality Of State Takeover Statutes, Kathleen E. Slusser
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note examines the constitutionality of state takeover statutes in light of the SEC's 1979 adoption of new merger rules governing tender offers. It discusses the procedural and substantive requirements of both the Williams Act and the new SEC rules, the state takeover statutes, and the preemption question that is raised by the combination of these laws. The author then argues that state takeover statutes are unconstitutional by virtue of their conflict with specific provisions of the new SEC rules.
