The New York Law Journal recently ran an article, Looking Beyond Delaware: Exercising Shareholder Appraisal Rights in N.Y. [via ALM], which analyzes the New York appraisal statute and observes that while appraisal litigation has remained underutilized outside of Delaware, it is possible that with the uptick in Delaware appraisal New York will see more appraisal litigation in its courts as well. As the article shows, the New York appraisal statute deviates from Delaware’s and provides appraisal rights even beyond merger transactions, extending to share exchanges and all-asset dispositions as well.
