RayCorp offers to buy out MegaCorp by paying $69 per share. LandCo, who also wants to buy MegaCorp, offers to pay $75 per share. When the bidding process is finally over, RayCorp has offered $85 per share and LandCo has offered to pay $90 per share. MegaCorp agrees to sell to RayCorp on grounds that, all things considered, the takeover by RayCorp would be better for the business. LandCo claims
that MegaCorp should have sold the company to it since it was the highest bidder. Is LandCo correct? a. Yes. This is a breach of duty. MegaCorp must sell the company to the highest bidder; it cannot give preferential treatment to a lower bidder. b. No. This is covered by the Williams Act. c. No. The directors have broad discretion in deciding to whom to sell the company. d. No. MegaCorp is acting in good faith by considering all things, not just the offering price of the shares.
Andrew Durham was injured in a job-related accident that resulted in a workers' compensation settlement agreement with the employer's insurance carrier, Traveler's Indemnity Company. The settlement agreement required Traveler's to pay Durham $2500 per
month for the rest of his life. To finance its obligation, Traveler's purchased an annuity in its name. The settlement agreement required Traveler's approval or written consent prior to an assignment of the annuity payments. Durham later decided to open a business and went to a credit union for a $214,000 loan. The credit union loaned the money, taking a security interest in Durham's monthly annuity payments. Traveler's consent was never secured. Discuss the conditions in which a right may not be assigned and assess if this was this a valid assignment.
