– Going private reduces the number of stockholders to less than 300, so the company is no longer required to file public company reports with the SEC.
– If a company goes private through a tender offer, the offer documents must be filed with the SEC and made public, as well as made available to affected shareholders.
– If the transaction is conducted by an insider of the company, the insider must file Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC, which requires information on the purposes of the transaction and factors indicating fairness for all shareholders. 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires companies to disclose information but does not prohibit them from going private.
2. Minority or dissenting shareholders may have remedies under state laws to challenge the transaction or receive fair compensation.
