Foley Partner Steven Barth and Associate Timothy Shea drafted an article titled “Tool to Get M&A Deals Done in a Tough Market” in the July 24, 2009 issue of M&A Advisor. Barth and Shea discuss the use of Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) to close the valuation gap between buyers and sellers in merger and acquisition deals, including how share-based CVRs work and the types of obstacles that may be presented when CVRs are considered.
