Abstract
This chapter of the forthcoming Research Handbook on Mergers and Acquisitions reviews several aspects of merger and acquisition practice that reflect strong influence from opinions of the Delaware courts. Such aspects include the use of fairness opinions, the demise of the two-tier tender offer, the effect of poison pills, the use of special committees and majority of the minority votes in freezeouts, deal protection measures, MAC clauses, and disclosure of investment banker conflicts.
