The panel will focus on "Going private" transactions,
the process by which a publicly traded company is converted to private
ownership by persons who are affiliated with the company. This process
is often completed by a transaction initiated by a controlling stockholder
or management in which all public shares are acquired and the company
is delisted. The panel will also discuss the policy shifts in the
post-Enron era and the increased regulatory demands mandated by
the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, both of which have increased the
number of going private transactions. Finally, the panel will comment
on the ever increasing costs associated with directors and officers
insurance, record numbers of securities class action filings and
increased levels of government and public scrutiny as factors which
have made many public company affiliates determine that going private
is in the best interest of the company and the existing stockholders.
