Our recent Client Alert discusses the highly anticipated decision from the Delaware Supreme Court upholding recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) that provide safe harbor procedures set forth in Section 144 of the DGCL for board decisions and corporate transactions involving director, officer, or controlling stockholder conflicts. Over the last several months, many stockholder litigations over transactions implicating the new Delaware statute had been stayed or suspended pending the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision. Following this decision, we now expect to see cases interpreting Section 144, which will further contribute to the current dynamic corporate law environment.
