The team was led by Gordon Bava, partner in the firm’s corporate and finance practice, and Matthew O’Loughlin, co-chair of the firm’s mergers and acquisitions practice.
Nano and CBTV reported the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of a merger in which Nano will acquire all the outstanding shares of CBTV. The deal, valued at $23.3 million, will allow CBTV shareholders to receive $14.41 per share in cash or Nano stock. This is the first acquisition by Nano.
