  • Fairness Opinions Under Fire by Bret A
    Fairness Opinions Under Fire By Bret A. Tack Los Angeles Office A renewed market for mergers and acquisitions (and growing value of the deals) is focusing fresh attention on the fairness opinions boards seek before approval. In our post-scandal business environment, the problems with fairness opinions, including conflicts of interest and potential manipulation, have drawn new criticism. How can boards assure the "fairness" of their fairness opinions. As the value of transactions requiring fairness opinions has surged, they have come under increased scrutiny because of systemic problems that undermine their credibility. The perception among many in the investment community is that fairness opinions are of dubious value as an independent assessment of whether a transaction is fair. Their only real purpose, it seems, is to protect fiduciaries in the event of a lawsuit. Concerns over fairness opinions have attracted the attention of regulatory bodies such as the NASD, the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. The potential conflict of provider "success fees" is only one problem with fairness opinions. In truth, there are no coherent guidelines used by fairness opinion providers. Foremost on the regulators' list of concerns is the obvious conflict of interest that exists when the firm issuing the fairness opinion stands to earn a "success fee" upon consummation of the transaction. However, such conflicts are only one of the factors undermining fairness opinions. The most basic problem is that there is no coherent set of guidelines for fairness opinion providers to follow in assessing and demonstrating the financial fairness of a transaction.

  • Worldcom1 Ethics Case Study
    fWorldCom1 By Dennis Moberg (Santa Clara University) and Edward Romar (University of Massachusetts- Boston) An update for this case is available. 2002 saw an unprecedented number of corporate scandals: Enron, Tyco, Global Crossing. In many ways, WorldCom is just another case of failed corporate governance, accounting abuses, and outright greed. But none of these other companies had senior executives as colorful and likable as Bernie Ebbers. A Canadian by birth, the 6 foot, 3 inch former basketball coach and Sunday School teacher emerged from the collapse of WorldCom not only broke but with a personal net worth as a negative nine-digit number.2 No palace in a gated community, no stable of racehorses or multi-million dollar yacht to show for the telecommunications giant he created. Only debts and red ink--results some consider inevitable given his unflagging enthusiasm and entrepreneurial flair. There is no question that he did some pretty bad stuff, but he really wasn't like the corporate villains of his day: Andy Fastow of Enron, Dennis Koslowski of Tyco, or Gary Winnick of Global Crossing.3 Personally, Bernie is a hard guy not to like. In 1998 when Bernie was in the midst of acquiring the telecommunications firm MCI, Reverend Jesse Jackson, speaking at an all-black college near WorldCom's Mississippi headquarters, asked how Ebbers could afford $35 billion for MCI but hadn't donated funds to local black students. Businessman LeRoy Walker Jr., was in the audience at Jackson's speech, and afterwards set him straight. Ebbers had given over $1 million plus loads of information technology to that black college.

Securities or Asia Global Crossing Ltd. Securities between February 1, 1999 and December 8, 2003, you might be a member of the class in this action entitling you to receive relief in connection with a partial settlement of the action.

This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. ■ On July 7, 2005, a settlement between the plaintiffs and Arthur Andersen LLP (the “Settlement”) was preliminarily approved by the Court in the action captioned above. The Settlement partially resolves a lawsuit over whether the prices of common stock, convertible preferred stock and bonds of Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing were artificially inflated as a result of alleged fraudulent misrepresentations and non-disclosures and violations of federal securities laws. ■ The Settlement provides for a Settlement Fund of approximately $25 million, less fees and costs. The amount to be distributed among the class members will be divided between Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing securities purchasers, with Global Crossing securities purchasers getting 92% of the amount and Asia Global Crossing securities purchasers getting the remaining 8%. ■ As explained below, this is the third partial settlement in this lawsuit. If you qualify and have not filed a claim in either of the prior settlements and would like to submit one, you may do so.

This paper shows that this notion is mistaken. Its flaw is that it lacks a well- developed understanding of the nature of a firm.
