Martin Marietta Materials, and its M&A, PR and antitrust advisors, were found to have routinely violated the terms of confidentiality agreements signed with Vulcan Materials Company related to a proposed friendly merger that ultimately turned into an attempted hostile takeover. The controversial remedy issued by the Delaware Court is a 4-month "standstill" order that forecloses any reasonable possibility that Martin Marietta would be able to take control of Vulcan in a hostile bid for a year or more. This Research Note includes the 135 page opinion and summarizes key issues associated with the confidentiality breach, details on the advisors, and why the court took the extraordinary step of blocking a hostile takeover as a consequence for unethical acts in violation of contractual agreements, when an anticipated worst case scenario of monetary damages would have paled in comparison to the gains to be realized in Martin Marietta's hostile take-over of Vulcan.
