Cohort-level robustness battery

Heckman selection-corrected ATE · Romano-Wolf step-down + BH FDR · pooled BHAR. This firm's reading is shown in context of the full cohort.

Heckman two-step selection correction (controlled-vs-widely-held)

Cohort ATE = +0.94% (SE = 7.06%, n = 2395) after correcting for controller-status selection (inverse Mills ratio = -0.062).

Romano-Wolf step-down + Benjamini-Hochberg FDR (n = 47)

This firm: raw p = 0.801, Romano-Wolf adjusted p = 1.000, BH-FDR adjusted p = 0.966. Multiple-hypothesis correction is computed across the full cohort to control family-wise error rate at alpha = 0.05.

Pooled cohort BHAR (mover firms only)

BHAR_63d: mean = -5.60% (SE = 22.11%, n = 3, p = 0.499) · BHAR_126d: mean = +17.33% (SE = 41.17%, n = 3, p = 0.774)

Nevada Statutory Disclosures

Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) governance provisions relevant to Delaware→Nevada redomestications. Five sections summarized; each links to the Nevada Legislature’s authoritative NRS text. Counterpart to the Texas § 21.552 / § 21.373 panel for TX-destination firms.
Codifies the business-judgment rule and limits monetary liability of directors and officers absent breach of loyalty, intentional misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of law. Stronger statutory shield than DGCL § 102(b)(7) on its face; charter opt-out / carve-out is firm-specific.
PENDING VERIFICATION
Adoption with carve-out by The LGL Group, Inc.: primary-source verification pending; canonical record not yet populated.
Broad permissive indemnification statute; covers expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement for any action by reason of service as director or officer, subject to good-faith standard. Charter / bylaw uptake is firm-specific.
PENDING VERIFICATION
The LGL Group, Inc. indemnification provisions pending charter / bylaw extraction.
Nevada's control-share acquisition statute (anti-takeover): voting rights of shares acquired in a “control-share acquisition” are extinguished absent disinterested-shareholder approval. Opt-out is by charter or bylaw amendment; default is opt-in for Nevada corporations meeting the statute's coverage thresholds.
PENDING VERIFICATION
The LGL Group, Inc. opt-in / opt-out status pending charter or bylaw verification.
Nevada's business-combination statute (anti-takeover): for two years post-acquisition, a Nevada corporation may not engage in a “combination” with a 10%+ interested stockholder unless the board pre-approved the transaction. Charter opt-out available.
PENDING VERIFICATION
The LGL Group, Inc. opt-in / opt-out status pending charter verification.
Authorizes conversion of a foreign business entity into a Nevada domestic entity by filing articles of conversion. The Nevada analog to DGCL § 266 (Delaware) and TBOC §§ 10.101–108 (Texas). Where used, the firm's redomestication is a true legal-entity conversion rather than a reverse-triangular merger.
PENDING VERIFICATION
Mechanism (§ 92A.135 conversion vs. merger-with-NV-sub) pending primary-source verification.

Primary-source pending. Where badges read “PENDING VERIFICATION,” the firm-specific adoption posture (e.g., charter carve-outs to NRS § 78.138, opt-outs from NRS §§ 78.378–3793 or 78.411–444) has not yet been extracted from the firm’s amended-and-restated articles or proxy materials. The presence of a Nevada incorporation alone does not establish adoption of every provision; opt-outs are charter-level facts.
