§ 1105 Merger Abandonment Authority

This law lets the company's board cancel a merger anytime before it happens, as long as they respect any existing contracts with other parties and don't need extra shareholder approval.

Key Takeaways

•The board can abort a merger before it becomes official.
•The board must honor any contractual rights of other parties involved.
•No additional shareholder approval is required to cancel the merger.

Example

A corporation is planning to merge with another company, but after the merger is announced, the board decides it's not a good deal and wants to call it off.

Because of this statute, the board can stop the merger at any point before it officially takes effect, even though shareholders might have already voted on it, provided they honor any agreements made with the other companies involved.

The board may, in its discretion, abandon a merger, subject to the contractual rights, if any, of third parties, including other constituent corporations, without further approval by the outstanding shares (Section 152), at any time before the merger is effective. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 682.)
