Deal Structure
The pre-merger buyout: when a member wants out before close
April 1, 20265 min read
Not every owner makes it to the closing table. Here is how a syndicate handles a member who wants out mid-process.
Sometimes an owner gets cold feet. Sometimes life happens. Either way, the syndicate has to decide whether to dissolve, replace the exiting member, or buy them out internally.
Merger Master is designed for the buyout case: the remaining members are offered first right of refusal on the exiting member's pro-rata share, with a structured window to decide.
