merger transactions (whether announced or unannounced) (as previously defined,
"Corporate Events"), in situations in which either (i) the price at which shares eligible for
an appraisal can be acquired by the Corporate Value Fund in the market or (ii) Hudson
Bay Capital's analysis indicates that the Transaction Price agreed to between the Target
and the Acquiror, is below the Fair Value that Hudson Bay Capital believes is likely to be
determined in an Appraisal Proceeding.
The Corporate Value Fund will generally not invest in Corporate Events that have not yet
been publicly announced. However, even in the case of a publicly announced Corporate
Event, there can be substantial uncertainty as to whether and under what terms such
Corporate Event will be consummated.
After an investment in a Corporate Event (a "Corporate Event Investment") has been
identified and a position established, Hudson Bay Capital may seek to "perfect" the
Corporate Value Fund's right to be granted an appraisal of its shares in the Target.
Hudson Bay Capital will base its determination of which Targets to select on Hudson Bay
Capital's analysis of its legal rights, as well as the economic fundamentals underlying
each such Target as compared to the proposed Transaction Price.
Once a Corporate Event is consummated, Hudson Bay Capital may: (i) file an appraisal
petition (an "Appraisal Petition") in court on behalf of the Corporate Value Fund to begin
the appraisal process in an attempt to obtain the Fair Value of the Target's securities as
opposed to the Transaction Price; or (ii) elect not to file, but nevertheless to "perfect" its
claim to become entitled to receive the Fair Value obtained by the lead plaintiff in an
Appraisal Proceeding. The process of resolving an appraisal demand (as previously
defined, an "Appraisal Proceeding") takes an unpredictable amount of time — often as
long as several years. Hudson Bay Capital may, in certain situations, attempt to agree
upon a payment for the Corporate Value Fund's holdings in the Target with the Acquiror
and settle the Corporate Value Fund's interest in the Appraisal Proceeding. The Acquiror
may also prepay the Transaction Price for all or part of the Target's shares so that interest
at the statutory rate only accrues on the shortfall, if any, ultimately determined between
the Transaction Price and the Fair Value. The Corporate Value Fund also may acquire
perfected appraisal rights from third parties (collectively, "Third-Party Appraisal
Rights").
Hudson Bay Capital may cause the Corporate Value Fund to invest in any Corporate
Event in which Hudson Bay Capital believes that it is able to identify a sufficient
shortfall between the Transaction Price and Fair Value, irrespective of diversification
considerations. Similarly, although Hudson Bay Capital anticipates that most of the
Appraisal Proceedings the Corporate Value Fund will bring will be in Delaware, the
Corporate Value Fund is not restricted as to the jurisdiction in which it may bring an
Appraisal Proceeding, and may make substantial investments in Appraisal Proceedings in
jurisdictions (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) in which the applicable Law is not as well
settled (or not as favorable to the Corporate Value Fund) as it is in Delaware.
The duration of the Corporate Value Fund's different Corporate Event Investments is
expected to be both variable and unpredictable. Hudson Bay Capital anticipates that
