Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 153 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An offering to those who are shown to be able to fend for themselves is a transaction “not involving any public offering.” Similarly, since the purpose of § 14(d) is to protect the ill-informed soli-citee, the question of whether a solicitation constitutes a “tender offer” within the meaning of § 14(d) turns on whether, viewing the transaction in the light of the totality of circumstances, there appears to be a likelihood that unless the pre-acquisition filing strictures of that statute are followed there will be a substantial risk that solieitees will lack information needed to make a carefully considered appraisal of the proposal put before them.”
