The “Binding” Letter of Intent, Corporate Acquisition Strategy Via Litigation
KGR helped the client enter into a “binding letter of intent (LOI)” with minority shareholders to purchase the minority shares of company. The goal was to acquire the entire target company by enforcing the shareholder agreement rights and obligations. The shareholder agreement contained various triggers for compelling the sale of shares, or the right to purchase shares. The majority shareholder also happened to be terminally ill with serious health and potential capacity issues, thus certain corporate avoidance actions were subject to attack. The successful litigation strategy was based on strict interpretation and enforcement of the shareholder agreement and enforcement of the LOI as a binding unconditional minority shareholder contract, not a mere conditional statement of intent. The result was an industry impacting business resolution and the acquisition of the target company via the LOI strategy and contract enforcement strategies. For a thorough discussion of these issues, or if you have other questions regarding your minority shareholders rights, please contact David Wright and Kevin Koons, or one of our other attorneys here to discuss your situation. It would be our pleasure to assist you.

Out-of-state Sellers will soon be required to remit Indiana sales tax
The collection and remission of sales tax changed dramatically after the South Dakota vs. Wayfair decision by the US Supreme Court in June 2018. Now, states can collect sales tax from out-of-state sellers even if the seller has no physical presence in the state. The law goes into effect on October 1, 2018 and requires remote sellers to remit sales tax to Indiana if the seller has annual gross revenues from Indiana sales exceeding $100,000, or 200 or more separate Indiana transactions. Out-of-state companies are encouraged to use Streamlined Sales Tax Registration system at www.streamlinedsalestax.org to remit sales tax to multiple states (including Indiana). For those companies seeking to remit sales tax to only Indiana, remote sellers can register through the online portal, INBiz, at www.inbiz.in.gov. More information can be obtained from the Indiana Department of Revenue at https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/INDOR/bulletins/201d096.
