The document discusses strategies for structuring an exit from selling a company. It covers the different forms of consideration (cash, stock in a public or private company), as well as factors to consider such as liquidity, valuation, and tax implications. The document also outlines the differences between tax-free and taxable transactions, and how the transaction structure (stock deal vs. asset deal) impacts what the sellers take home and are taxed on. The key takeaway is that the form of consideration and transaction structure can significantly alter the after-tax proceeds, so sellers should plan ahead with advisors.
