1.Threads Inc. wants to buy TicTak Corp. for $500. Purls (the sole shareholder of TicTak) wants to receive $2,000 for his 200 shares. TicTak has $1,500 available in cash and can redeem 150 of Purl’s shares for $1,500. Immediately after the redemption, Threads buys Purl’s remaining 50 shares for $500.

3.If Thread is intending to resell the TicTak stock for $3000 after the acquisition, would you advise Thread to acquire the stock in a Zenz transaction or without the redemption? Why or why not?
