Mergers & Acquisitions Deal Structuring

Introduction

Structuring a deal in the field of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) is a complex process which ranges between several diverse layouts that differ from each other in various aspects: aspects of corporate governance, aspects of regulation, aspects of tax, etc.

Since the Companies' Law came into force two decades ago, the Israeli Law allows us to take several separate tracks when we are about to carry out a Merger & Acquisition deal. Moreover, as will be further detailed below, the Israeli courts determined more than once that they are alternative tracks for the implementation of deals and that under each deal, the parties can design the deal as they deem appropriate, provided that they safeguard the rights of all the parties that are involved in the deal as determined by the provisions of the Law.
