Amec calls CVM’s attention to abusive operations |
|
|
|
| |
|
In the beginning of September, Amec – the Association of Capital Market Investors – sent a letter to CVM – the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – pointing out the negative effects that some recent operations can bring to the domestic capital markets. Through these operations, the controlling shareholder transfers its liabilities to the publicly-held company with no minimally justifiable consideration to remaining shareholders. |

US court punishes controlling shareholder for undervaluing the company in its buyout |
|
|
|
| |
|
The Delaware Court Judge Travis Laster, in the USA, decided that Mr. David Murdock, CEO and controlling shareholder of Dole – one of the world’s largest sellers of fresh fruit – fraudulently drove down the company’s stock price in a buyout operation carried out in 2013. The billionaire Mr. Murdock and the then CCO Mr. Michael Carter, will have to reimburse other shareholders $148 million. That is one of the largest amounts awarded in a lawsuit tied to a merger in the United States. |
