Myron Mallia-Dare and Christopher Fallis’ article on “From Public to Private: Strategic Considerations for Targets and Foreign Buyers in Canadian Going-Private Transactions” is featured in the American Bar Association’s Business Law:
Declining markets prompt foreign strategic buyers, like private-equity (PE) funds, to seek acquisition opportunities where a target’s market value misaligns with its perceived value. PE funds view going private as an opportunity to lower costs, enhance operational strategies, shield from market pressures, and reduce regulatory obligations. Enhanced operational flexibility and the freedom to enact changes without immediate market scrutiny increase the perceived value of going private.
