Appraisal rights
A right that lets eligible shareholders ask a court to decide the fair value of their shares in certain deals.
Appraisal rights in practice
Hypothetical example: a shareholder objects to the price in a merger. If the shareholder qualifies and follows the required steps, the court can decide the fair value of those shares.
What to check
A claim for repayment under the deal agreement is a separate question from the shareholder’s right to seek appraisal.
