Squeeze-out

Read a random definition: watch

A quick definition of Squeeze-out:

Squeeze-out: When a company is bought by another company, sometimes the smaller shareholders who own a small amount of the company's stock are forced to sell their shares. This is called a squeeze-out. The law says that the smaller shareholders must be paid a fair amount of money for their shares.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The forced sale of stock owned by minority shareholders in a joint-stock company, usually in the context of an acquisition. State law governs squeeze-outs and requires fair cash value be paid to the minority shareholders from the acquiring corporation in exchange for their stock.

Example: Company A wants to acquire Company B. Company B has 100,000 shares of stock outstanding, with 80,000 owned by the majority shareholders and 20,000 owned by the minority shareholders. Company A offers to buy all of Company B's shares for $10 per share. The majority shareholders agree to sell, but the minority shareholders do not. Company A then uses a squeeze-out provision to force the minority shareholders to sell their shares for $10 each.

This example illustrates how a squeeze-out can be used to acquire all of the shares of a company, even if some shareholders do not want to sell. The minority shareholders are forced to sell their shares at a fair cash value determined by state law.

bro was just asking a question
U have great stats! I wouldn't be too nervous. Did u write why Northwestern and why Chicago?
oh cornells going wl crazy
16:22
having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter
@RightPlant: you have a great chance at Northwestern!
Chicago, also not a bad chance, but it is more of a crapshoot
Esp since they care more about GPA than LSAT

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.
