Arbitration
Is there a minority discount when Israeli courts order a buyout?
Generally no. In oppression proceedings, Israeli courts apply a "fair value" standard rather than fair market value, and consistently decline to apply a minority discount. The rationale is that the petitioner is being forced out by the majority's own wrongful conduct — applying a discount would reward that conduct. The minority's shares are therefore valued at their proportional share of the company's total enterprise value.
