Stockholder M&A challenges in the Delaware Court of Chancery have declined in the wake of the well-known Trulia (and its federal corollary Walgreens) and Corwin decisions, which respectively reduced incentives for pre-closing M&A challenges by outlining a strict standard of review for disclosure-only settlements; and confirmed that, regardless of whether the process at issue complied with Revlon, transactions approved by an informed and uncoerced stockholder vote are subject to the protections of the business judgment rule.

In one of the most anticipated opinions of 2017, Delaware's Supreme Court reversed the Court of Chancery's appraisal decision valuing Dell, Inc.'s shares after its management-led buyout in 2013. In its unanimous en banc decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Chancery abused its discretion by relying exclusively on its own discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis while affording no weight to the transaction price when valuing the company's shares at the time of its 2013 going-private merger.

What should be the standard of review when the Court of Chancery considers an appeal from a receiver's disallowance of a claim pursuant to section 296(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law? In B.E. Capital Management Fund LP v. Fund.com Inc., C.A. No. 12843-VCL (Del. Ch. Oct. 4, 2017), Vice Chancellor Laster held that a receiver's determination is subject to de novo review and the court has discretion to go beyond the record presented to the receiver by conducting an evidentiary hearing.

In a case involving allegations of unusually egregious conduct by directors of a Delaware corporation, the Delaware Court of Chancery in Kandell v. Niv, C.A. No. 11812-VCG (Del. Ch. Sept. 29) (Glasscock, V.C.) found that directors of FXCM, Inc. faced a substantial likelihood of liability for demand futility purposes on a claim alleging that they knowingly allowed FXCM to engage in an illegal business practice, despite the lack of allegations suggesting that the directors were ever explicitly notified that the practice was illegal.

Since 'Trulia', there has been a decline in Delaware in the number of run-of-the-mill challenges to nearly every public company merger transaction. But while the volume of merger litigation in Delaware has been on the decline, there has been a noticeable surge in filings in other jurisdictions, particularly federal courts.
