The Role of Directors in M&A Transactions: A Governance Handbook for Directors, Management and Advisors Diane H Frankle ISBN 9781641054157

The board of directors plays a critical oversight role at every stage of a merger or acquisition. By examining the essential elements of an effective board process and explaining how directors’ legal duties are applied in practice throughout the M&A lifecycle, The Role of Directors in M&A Transactions offers invaluable guidance to boards, senior management, and the lawyers and investment bankers who advise them.

Authored by seasoned M&A practitioners with extensive experience navigating the complex governance challenges that arise in transactional settings, this indispensable guide addresses a wide range of issues, including:

  • Core governance considerations in M&A and the board’s central role in overseeing the transaction

  • Identifying, disclosing, and managing conflicts of interest

  • Evaluating strategic alternatives, preparing for potential transactions, and responding to pressure to sell

  • Board processes for engaging legal and financial advisors and managing key aspects of the sale process

  • Negotiating confidentiality and standstill agreements

  • Determining when and how to form a special committee

  • The board’s ongoing responsibilities following signing and prior to closing

  • And much more

Designed to be both practical and authoritative, this guide equips directors and their advisors with the insights needed to fulfill their fiduciary duties and oversee M&A transactions with confidence and diligence.
