Series 24: Tender Offers

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

Tender Offers

When a party would like to acquire another company without going through the expense and time that other types of acquisitions require, they may extend a tender offer. A tender offer is an open offer to purchase a large percentage of a company’s outstanding shares from the company’s current shareholders. In a tender offer, the acquiring party offers shareholders a price above the market price of the shares (a premium), and shareholders can choose to tender their shares or not. Tender offers are often contingent on shareholders “tendering” a minimum number of shares, usually a majority or supermajority. The party that is extending the tender offer is usually seeking some kind of control of the company– if they cannot get this control they do not want to go through with

TESTIMONIALS

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

I had tried another learning system before Solomon and walked into the Series 24 unprepared and subsequently failed. After using the Solomon system for three weeks, taking full advantage of the app on my cell phone I walked into my second attempt very prepared for the type of questions I was going to see. Not only did I pass, I did so with confidence. Thanks so much Solomon!

Stick to the plan and pass! 4 times in a row, 7, 63, 24 and now 79. You can't beat the Solomon materials.

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.
