Temple Law students Victoria Faria and Sarah Ismael, who are members of Temple Law\u2019s Alternative Dispute Resolution Society (\u201cADRS\u201d), went to the ABA Business Law Section\u2019s third annual National Invitational M&A negotiating competition, known as the MAC Cup. By reaching the Quarterfinals<\/span> and competing in four negotiations, Victoria and Sarah<\/span> finished<\/span> among the top eight teams<\/span> (\u201cElite 8\u201d)<\/span> of the original 64 student teams<\/span> from<\/span> law schools<\/span> across the<\/span> United<\/span> States<\/span> and Canada.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The MAC Cup requires<\/span> students<\/span> to<\/span> create an issue list based on the competition\u2019s fact pattern, mark-up an<\/span> asset<\/span>purchase<\/span> agreement<\/span> (\u201cAPA\u201d) reflecting<\/span> the prevailing issues<\/span> identified<\/span> and<\/span> then<\/span> participate<\/span> in a mock negotiation with other competitors. The competition allows law school students to learn about M&A deals and<\/span> develop<\/span> their<\/span> negotiation skills<\/span> by<\/span> encouraging students to use the<\/span> same<\/span> tools<\/span> M&A attorneys<\/span> rely on, like: (1) the ABA\u2019s<\/span> M&A<\/span> Private Target M&A Deal<\/span> Points<\/span> Studies; (2) Westlaw\u2019s<\/span> CoCounsel<\/span> and Practical Law; and (3) Hotshot Legal\u2019s digital learning video service.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the competition centered on superstar<\/span> couple<\/span> Tara Quick and Ted Kickstart (the \u201cSellers\u201d), who were selling their company,<\/span> QuickPass Tickets, Inc. (the \u201cTarget\u201d), to Mammoth, Inc. (the \u201cBuyer\u201d). Sellers and Buyer agreed that the purchase price was set at $300 million for the acquisition of<\/span> substantially all<\/span> of Target’s assets and the assumption of all of Target’s liabilities. However, the parties’ lawyers still needed to negotiate several complex issues. The most complex of these items was how to allocate the potential liabilities from an existing litigation in which the Target was involved, currently in the discovery phase, which, in a worst-case scenario, could cost over 25% of the purchase price and potentially force the Target to change its business model. Overall, the<\/span> parties<\/span> were free to propose changes in the sections that dealt with post-closing covenants (to include a non-compete\/ non-solicitation), closing conditions, term definitions, termination, and indemnification (baskets\/ deductible\/ de minimis deductible\/ caps and survival [and what is not subject to those limitations], fraud, materiality scrapes, sandbagging, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the First Open Round, Victoria and Sarah<\/span> represented<\/span> the Buyer<\/span> <\/u>in the negotiation. With the help of their coach-attorney, adjunct professor Matthew<\/span> Devine, the<\/span> team spent most of their time familiarizing themselves with the<\/span>competition\u2019s key<\/span> issues: indemnification, escrow arrangements,<\/span> and<\/span> non-compete\/non-solicitation agreements. After learning about the substantive aspects of the competitions, the Temple team then had to tackle the practical aspect of the competition: reviewing the<\/span> APA, selecting<\/span> and creating an issue list, drafting<\/span> changes APA to reflect their issues and creating a<\/span> redline<\/span> draft, reviewing due diligence documents, and reviewing the proposed<\/span> terms<\/span> sent by the Seller\u2019s side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then came the negotiation. In a 45-minute negotiation,<\/span> the<\/span> pair<\/span> was<\/span> tasked with picking which issues to advance in the negotiation to best advocate for their client while accounting for the<\/span> Seller\u2019s issues. After the<\/span> round,<\/span> both teams received feedback from two judges who are M&A practitioners.<\/span> Only half of the original sixty-four teams advanced after the first day of competition,<\/span> and the Temple team was<\/span> among those<\/span> advancing teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

After their second negotiation,<\/span> where Victoria and<\/span> Sarah<\/span> repeated<\/span> the entire<\/span> initial<\/span> process but now<\/span> representing<\/span>the Sellers,<\/span> they were delighted to hear that they had advanced to<\/span> the Quarterfinals. But the Quarterfinals brought significant new fact pattern changes: there was a new bidder for the Target, Eras Capital, a private equity fund that would finance the purchase of the Target by creating a newly formed shell entity (\u201cBuyer #2\u201d) that would largely use debt financing to<\/span> complete<\/span> the deal. Eras Capital would also provide a limited guarantee and an equity commitment letter for deal certainty. The big-ticket issue for this negotiation was a reverse termination fee, which would provide the Sellers with damages equal to 10% of the purchase price of $350 million under trigger events to be negotiated by the parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In preparing for<\/span> the<\/span> two<\/span> Quarterfinals<\/span> rounds, Victoria and Sarah negotiated<\/span> twice:<\/span> once<\/span> as<\/span> counsels for the<\/span> Sellers and<\/span> once<\/span> for<\/span> Buyer #2. The women restarted their<\/span> earlier<\/span> competition<\/span> process<\/span> and<\/span> familiarized<\/span> themselves with M&A deals<\/span> involving<\/span> private equity firms and debt financing. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The<\/span> Temple team<\/span> then<\/span> used<\/span> their negotiation skills to advance their client\u2019s interests in two final rounds<\/span> against<\/span> two<\/span> other skillful competitor teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reaching the Quarterfinals at the MAC Cup III was a tremendous \u00a0victory for <\/span>members of <\/span>Temple\u2019s<\/span> newly<\/span> founded ADRS. Victoria and Sarah learned a great deal, not only substantively but also logistically, about how to negotiate effectively in ABA Law School competitions. With this newfound knowledge,<\/span> the pair<\/span> hope to help coach a new team from Temple Law next year <\/span>at MAC Cup IV<\/span> and other ADR competitions.<\/span> They<\/span> were<\/span> also<\/span> able to hone their drafting and negotiation skills and gain tremendous knowledge about the deal process in the transactional space.<\/span> Just as importantly, the two grew as a team, learning from each other\u2019s strengths and approaches and building a partnership grounded in preparation, trust, and shared pride in<\/span> representing<\/span> Temple Law.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
