This CLE course will examine the options available to a company when restructuring or consolidating subsidiaries and the procedural issues associated with the dissolution or merger of affiliated entities. The panel will also discuss operational, due diligence, and tax issues for counsel to consider.

Description

A company comprised of a parent and various subsidiaries may find that its existing structure no longer suits its operational needs. There are potential benefits of subsidiary restructurings, including reduction of costs, simplification of management and governance structure, and reduction of tax expenses.

The company may have several options—consolidation, share exchanges, conversions, mergers, intercompany asset sales, and dissolution of subsidiaries—to accomplish a restructuring. Counsel should fully understand the procedural hurdles, including required shareholder and director approvals, and the attendant costs and benefits.

Due diligence is necessary in restructuring a business. Counsel should review any agreements of the entities involved for any prohibitions or approvals required. Licenses and permits should also be reviewed to identify actions to preserve those rights. Outstanding litigation must be addressed.

Listen as our authoritative panel explains different approaches that may be taken in corporate restructurings. The panel will discuss the governance and procedural issues which must be addressed, and operational and tax issues which should be considered.
