Berücksichtigung von Börsenkursen bei der Ermittlung von Barabfindungen im Rahmen von aktienrechtlichen Strukturmaßnahmen

Due to judicial decisions the stock market prices are deemed to be the lower value limit in determining the compensations within structural measures according to German stock corporation law (e.g. squeeze-out of minority stockholders). By applying other valuation methods, in particular the income approach, a higher value than the stock market price could be relevant to fix the amount of compensation. The paper analyzes expert reports on determining the adequate compensation. The study is supposed to provide an insight into the valuation practice in the recent past.
