What Is a Contingent Value Right (CVR)? The term contingent value right (CVR) refers to a right often granted to shareholders of a company facing restructuring or a buyout. These rights ensure that the shareholders get certain benefits if a specific event occurs, usually within a specified time frame. These rights are similar to options because they frequently have an expiration date, beyond which the rights to the additional benefits will not apply. CVRs are usually related to the performance of a company's stock.
KEY TAKEAWAYS CVRs are rights granted to the shareholders of a target company by the acquirer.
These rights stipulate that a shareholder will receive certain benefits if a specific performance event is met in a specific time frame.
The benefits typically include a monetary benefit, such as additional stock or a cash payout.
Just like unsecured obligations, CVRs aren't backed by any collateral and don't guarantee a payout.
CVRs can be transferable, which are listed on an exchange, and non-transferable.
