What happens with your shares/money when “the company” is going private?


Never invested in company going private before.

Lets say i buy 100 shares at 10$/share through my broker. After a few months the board/comapany agress to go private or gets bought out at 20$/share.

When my (100) shares get eventually liquidated even if the ticker is 15$/share, im supposed to get my money worth 20$/share into my broker account.

Have been watching twitter going private and seen very negative sentiment on this. Not because of “twitter” per say but because the investors somehow lost money or made a mistake betting on that buyout.

Is this how the process is ? Am i missing something?

Have you done anything similiar?
