ABA 2015 Canadian Public Target M&A Deal Points Study – Key Takeaways (Part 2)

As discussed in our post last week, the American Bar Association (ABA) recently came out with its 2015 Canadian Public Target M&A Deal Points Study (the Study), tracking variations in the common terms and conditions found across acquisition agreements regarding companies listed on Canadian exchanges. The Study draws upon 88 acquisition agreements for the acquisition of Canadian publicly-traded targets announced between the years of 2013 and 2014 (the Agreements).

Last week's post summarized the Study's key findings with respect to the target's representations and warranties and conditions to closing. This week's post will highlight key takeaways with respect to deal protection provisions and remedies.
