|
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations
|
| |
Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares.
Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval.
Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders.
|
| |
Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent.
All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder.
A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50%+1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a shareholders’ meeting.
|
|
|
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters
|
| | Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. | | | Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and Act II’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association law, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders as being entitled to do so). | |
| | | |
Delaware
|

Cayman Islands
|
|
|
Appraisal Rights
|
| | Generally, a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger. | | | Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court. | |
|
Inspection of Books and Records
|
| | Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business. | | | Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company. | |
|
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits
|
| | A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per Organizational Documents Proposal). | | | In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances. | |
|
Fiduciary Duties of Directors
|
| | Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. | | |
A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.
In addition to fiduciary duties, directors of Act II owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
|
|
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
|
| | A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. | | | A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default. | |
|
Limited Liability of Directors
|
| | Permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit. | | | Liability of directors may be unlimited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default. | |
