Abstract:
Earn-out provisions are a critical tool in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), used to bridge valuation gaps and align the interests of buyers and sellers. However, these provisions often become a source of contention, as evidenced by the landmark Delaware Court of Chancery decision in Fortis Advisors LLC v. Johnson & Johnson (2023). This case underscores the importance of precise drafting, the challenges in interpreting “commercially reasonable efforts,” and the risks inherent in post-closing conflicts. This paper examines the legal, strategic, and practical implications of the case, offering actionable insights for M&A practitioners. By analyzing the case through the lens of deal strategy, corporate governance, and risk management, the paper highlights best practices for structuring earn-out agreements to mitigate disputes and ensure enforceability. It serves as a guide for lawyers and dealmakers to navigate the complexities of earn-out provisions in a competitive and evolving M&A landscape.

Hello Class,
To expand our discussion, I will include additional questions that pertain to our Unit 5 readings. You are not required to participate in the additional questions that I post. However, responses to the additional chapter questions will count towards your required discussion board postings.
The town of Fairview is struggling economically, with vacant storefronts and high unemployment. A major tech company proposes building a state-of-the-art headquarters and research park, promising 5,000 new jobs. To do so, the town plans to use eminent domain to demolish an old residential district and transfer the land to the company. Most homes are older but well-maintained, and many residents oppose the plan, saying they are being forced out for corporate gain.
Questions:
1. Should the economic benefits of the new tech hub outweigh the rights of homeowners?
2. Would this taking be different if the project were a public facility, such as a school or hospital?
3. What legal arguments could the homeowners make to challenge the taking?

Hello Class,
To expand our discussion, I will include additional questions that pertain to our Unit 5 readings. You are not required to participate in the additional questions that I post. However, responses to the additional chapter questions will count towards your required discussion board postings.
The state of Texas wants to build a new highway to connect two major cities, reducing traffic and increasing trade opportunities. The proposed route cuts directly through a generational family farm that has been in the same family for over 100 years. The farm provides fresh produce to local businesses, and the owners argue that losing the land will devastate both their livelihood and the local economy. The state insists that this is necessary public infrastructure and offers financial compensation.
Questions:
1. Should infrastructure projects automatically justify eminent domain?
2. Would it make a difference if the government rerouted the highway but at double the cost?
3. How does the government determine “just compensation,” and can emotional or historical value be factored into that assessment?
