CGOV.12:4.3 - Compare the available protection, contest and exit routes

Establish which actions are actually available: correcting the process, obtaining a required consent, exercising a purchase or participation right, negotiating a permitted resolution, using a dispute procedure, or exercising a particular sale or exit right.

Compare them by the holder’s purpose, attainability, time, total burden and consequences for the company and affected parties. Include preserving the current holding or accepting a legitimate outcome when those are live choices. Distinguish a substantive rights defect, uncertainty about its legal treatment and disagreement about commercial merits.

A right can require resources to exercise. Determine whether the holder can supply the price, notice, advice or other necessary contribution. If not, compare available alternatives rather than reporting an unusable entitlement as a complete solution.
