Board Considerations in Going Private or Going Dark

Over the last 18 months there has been a dramatic increase in the leveraged buyout market, due only in part to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This session focuses on the current state of the going private market, the going private process and the role of the CEO, investment banker, special board committees and attorney in this process. Fiduciary duties of the board of directors and the procedural safeguards that should be followed to avoid director personal liability are also discussed.
