Here is a set of facts about the pending acquisition of Baja, Inc. (the target), by Calstar, Inc. (the acquirer).

Baja, Inc., is owned by Smith and Calegari. Smith owns 30% of Baja's common stock and has a basis in his Baja, Inc. stock of $10. Calegari owns the remaining 70% of Baja stock and has a basis in his stock of $1,000.

Calstar wants to acquire Baja and is willing to pay $100,000.

Calstar's outstanding common stock is currently worth $50,000. Calstar management owns approximately 45% of the currently outstanding common stock.

Baja possesses valuable patents, licenses, and other intangible assets that cannot be sold and has assets with titles that are nontransferable.

Calegari will not sell unless he receives only cash for his Baja stock.

Smith will not sell unless he receives consideration that is tax-free.

Calstar's management will not purchase Baja with its common stock, which would significantly reduce its voting control.
