Chapter 18 - The Aurelia deal dies
Northstar’s board suspended the acquisition review.
Independent committee.
External counsel.
Fresh conflicts analysis.
The transaction eventually died.
Not because Aurelia was evil.
Because:
Valuation no longer held.
Conflict disclosures were inadequate.
Trust between parties collapsed.
Aurelia continued operating under different ownership.
Vanessa’s family investment lost value.

Legal fees.
Audit costs.
Delayed projects.
Governance review.
