Appraisal Rights & Merger Litigation

Our global Dispute Resolution & Insolvency legal team has unparalleled experience with the Cayman Islands merger regime which contains appraisal rights for dissenters. With the merger regime being a relatively new and evolving jurisprudence involving complex valuation evidence, our experience enables us to assist clients to successfully petition the Court for the fair value of their shares.

The Cayman Islands merger regime contains appraisal rights for dissenters permitting shareholders who dissent from a merger to apply to the Court to determine the fair value of their shares.  This is a relatively new and evolving jurisprudence in a highly technical area involving complex valuation evidence.

We have unparalleled experience in this area.  Our lawyers have acted either on the dissenter or company side in every fair value trial which has come before the Cayman Islands Court to date and we are currently acting in the majority of petitions currently before the Cayman Islands Court.

Recent cases include:

  • Nord Anglia Education (acting for the Petitioning Company)
  • Zhaopin Limited (acting for the Petitioning Company)
  • Xiaodu Life Technology Limited (acting for the Petitioning Company)
  • E-House China Holdings Limited (acting for the Petitioning Company)
  • E-Commerce China DangDang Inc. (acting for the Petitioning Company)
  • Shanda Games Limited (acting for the Dissenters)
  • Integra Group (acting for the Dissenters)
