The ABA Business Law Section, Spring Meeting, shared this presentation, laying out some useful information regarding the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. The material is of particular relevance to those interested in appraisal rights; the continuous holder requirement – which requires appraisal seekers to have continuously held their stock from the time of making their appraisal demand through the deal closing – requires a petitioner to overcome procedural hurdles in order to exercise appraisal and make sure their claim is not subject to challenge. This presentation gives an overview of some of the recent case law, including the Dell matter, for those interested in the nuts and bolts of exercising appraisal rights.
