A partnership was approached by a corporation that would like to acquire them by a stock acquisition. The partnership has no authorized stock, and the corporation does not want to pay cash for the partnership. The partnership is valued at $4,000,000 today.

The following may be ensured before acquiring the partnership firm by the corporation :

(2) Consent of all partners obtained or not.

(3) All statutory due of the partnership have been disbursed or not.

(4) Proper valuation of the partnership done or not.

(5) Appropriate resolution for the sake has been passed or not.

(6) Consent of the creditors has been taken or not.

(7) How adjustment of assets and liabilities of the partnership to be adjusted.

If the partnership concern is taken over by the corporation as a going concern with all it's assets and liabilities, the existing partners should hold more than 50% of the voting shares of the new company in the same ratio as per their shares in the partnership firm. There should not be any sale or transfer of these shares in the next 5 years. There should not be any dilution of the percentage of these shares in the next 5 years.
