Probably the first thing to do is the fundamental analysis. Please make sure you’ve researched it well in terms of all the areas I have updated here, you have to link it to the aspect of what direction the US is going into and the direction that England is going into post-Brexit, and the extent to which they’re going to converge or diverge. For both US and UK:
1.What are the takeover rules?
2.What the process is, what percentage you need to get corporate control.
3.Debt to Equity ratio between US and UK.
4.What the restrictions are on mergers, how you’d get a Fairness Opinion?
5.Business judgement rule, if you’re discharging your fiduciary duty, to what extent can you reject an offer? 6.What motivate the managers in the company? What drives them? And its impact on the takeover.
7.What defence mechanisms can you use? White knights defence, poison pills, crown jewels, there are all kinds of defences that you can use about 10 or 12, different defensive actions that you can use.
