This Tenth Edition of Corporate Finance updates old topics, notes various market developments, and deletes some peripheral material. The most notable additions come in respect of debtor-creditor relationships, in particular the creditor-on-creditor violence endemic in restructurings. The fact pattern shows up in multiple chapters. There is also a major addition to the merger materials in respect of special purpose acquisition corporations.

This Edition’s Appendix contains two contract forms—the General Technology Note Purchase Agreement and the General Technology Series A Preferred Stock, Certificate of Designations. The book’s text references additional student practice documents, all of which will be posted and available here later this spring. These documents include the NVCA Term Sheet, two trust indentures (DexCom, Inc. and Jarden Corporation), a term loan agreement (AbbieVie), a private credit loan agreement (MIDCO), a multiple class common stock charter (Snap, Inc.), a merger proxy statement containing a merger agreement (Shockwave Medical), and various additional NVCA model forms.
