Abstract

This article presents a specialized guide on corporate acquisitions and mergers, providing legal advice. It has a technical manual, specifically aimed at minority shareholders, its meticulous approach focuses on making hypothetical decisions linked to economic concentrations, providing necessary tools to preserve the rights and interests of this essential segment in the business fabric. In line with all the legal obligations established by Costa Rica regarding theseoperations, we will show how to proactively address the complexity of economic concentrations. This strategic approach not only limits regulatory compliance but we also seek to exceed expectations by providing guidance, robust for a specific sector of shareholders such as retailers. We consider the critical importance of minority shareholders in the corporate framework so the protection of their rights becomes a fundamental element in the design of strategies and solutions. Furthermore, the guarantee of a transparent and legally compliant process is complemented by the maximization of benefits for minority shareholders, recognizing their essential role in the joint success of the companies. With an unwavering commitment to integrity, this document stands as a beacon in the landscape of economic concentrations offering practical guidance and a purposeful approach. Therefore, we provide this guide as a fundamental resource for those immersed in economic concentration processes and we provide them with a clear perspective when facing the challenges inherent in thesecomplex business transactions.
