Going-private transactions: C2-280/1-1995E-PDF
The term going-private transaction (GPT) is a generic label which applies to a variety of corporate transactions that result in termination of shareholder interests with compensation but without consent and without a replacement of equivalent value in a participating security. Although GPTs are a common part of the current corporate landscape, their treatment under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) has been less than thorough. This may have caused confusion in the marketplace. This paper examines GPTs, parallel statutory models and various areas for potential reform.--Introduction
