Anyone elses DWF VI struggling to upload? My bandwidth is fine, awaiting a response from Shortlist.me support

If anyone else has the same issue - I was using Safari. IT support said Google Chrome works best

I had my W&C spring AC yesterday but I think they are still sending them out post VI.

Hope the AC went well! Do you reckon they're sending out any more Spring VIs or should I expect a PFO

If one large company in one sector acquires another smaller company in the same sector, would that be considered an acquisition or a merger? I am super confused as to how the structures would be different.

Don’t know but I saw people were still getting VIs don’t know whether for spring or summer though… what I’ve learnt is to never lose hope until the PFO!!!!!

Has anyone who's applied to Gateley completed their interactive assessment?

horizontal acquisition

And if the company that they are acquiring is smaller and does not have any stock/shares available, would the method of transaction be through an asset purchase?

Lol sorry for the dumb questions, just trying to learn

FYI if they have no available shares, the company can always allot more shares. There are other issues that will need to be addressed (i.e., pre-emption rights, which is the right of existing shareholders to be offered those shares before any third party buyer).

Has anyone completed a written exercise / case study? I was just invited to a written exercise and it is tomorrow!!! I literally have only today to prepare.

I have never completed a written exercise. (Honestly, do not even know what it is). Would anyone be so kind and share tips how to prepare for written excercises in general?

Are there any recources to prepare for a written exercise (on TCLA or any other website)?

 

[webberwerter]

Any word from Ropes & Gray?
