Case Synopsis
The case is set in Spring 2015, when Dollar General’s CEO and chairman Rick Dreiling was looking ahead to retiring at year’s end but could not help but revisit some of the key decisions he and the rest of the board has made in their pursuit of Family Dollar. In July 2014, Family Dollar (FDO) announced a merger agreement with Dollar Tree (DLTR), although Dollar General (DG) had held talks with Family Dollar as early as 2013 and offered $4 per share more than Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree believed that Family Dollar had been the right competitor to buy as a merger would have created substantial value for shareholders. Dollar General was also confident that its board had fulfilled its duties to its shareholders during the bidding process, however, it was less certain whether this was also true for Family Dollar’s board.
