Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a company, such as Barker Co., decides to buy a majority stake (51% of the shares) in another company, Carter Co., it is primarily the purchasing company's board (Barker Co.'s board) that needs to approve the transaction. This is because the board is responsible for making significant financial decisions on behalf of the company, including acquisitions. Approval from the board of the company being acquired (Carter Co.) or from the shareholders of either company is not a legal requirement for the sale to proceed, although in practice, such transactions may involve negotiations and agreements that could require approval from various parties depending on the specific circumstances and jurisdictions involved.
