Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...

While it is important to the company's long-term success for the board to maintain appropriate defenses against inadequate takeover bids, it is also important for the board to maintain shareholder confidence by demonstrating that it is responsive and accountable to shareholders," reads a statement from Lilly's board in the company's preliminary proxy statement.If the proposal passes at Lilly's annual shareholder meeting April 19 - and it will need 80-percent approval to do so - it would make Lilly more vulnerable to a buyout at a time consolidation is sweeping through the pharmaceutical industry.

This article suggests that statutes governing both corporations and limited liability companies should require all owners to read several warnings about the dangers of a lack of advance planning before starting a business, or before purchasing an equity interest in an existing closely held business. Part I of this article reviews the current landscape of available business forms and details the many ways in which the majority owners of a business can take advantage of the minority owners. Part I also reviews the many ways in which the minority owner could have protected himself -- if he had the foresight to do so. Part II then reviews the main statutory and judicial responses to the problem of minority owner oppression and discusses their inadequacy. After discussing some other suggesti...

Few issues evoked more interest among governance, activists and the companies they targeted this past proxy season than proposals for majority voting in elections of directors. And because enforcing the policies was problematic under many state statutes, some governance activists remain unsatisfied-although there is evidence that having such a policy helped defeat majority voting shareholder proposals during the 2006 proxy season.
