Question
Date: 3/8/01
Subject: hypothetical
A acquires all of the voting securities of B for $101 million. One of B's assets is a 45% interest in C, which is valued at $55 million. A's secondary acquisition of C is reportable:. Do I have to double count in order to determine whether A's acquisition of B is reportable? I can see three possible outcomes: (1) not reportable since control of B is worth less than $50 million after you report the secondary acquisition, (2) reportable but valued at the minimum for filing fee purposes, in order to avoid double counting, or (3) pay up or else.
