40% Is Less Than A Majority But Can It Be “Control”? Re: California Corporate Securities

· January 14, 2014 ·

Yesterday’s post concerned the Court of Appeal’s opinion in Busse v. United Panam Financial Corp., 2014 Cal. App. LEXIS 11 (Cal. App. 4th Dist. Jan. 8, 2014) holding that shareholders may not pursue monetary damages under Section 1312(b) of the California Corporations Code.  That statute applies if “one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger”.  The Court of Appeal found that the plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged common control by averring that on defendant controlled about 40% of the company’s stock.   In reaching, this conclusion, the court looked to Hellum v. Breyer, 194 Cal. App. 4th 1300 (2011), a case arising under the Corporate Securities Law of 1968, not the General Corporation Law.  See Court Rejects Control Requirement For Director Liability.The Court does not … [Read more...] about 40% Is Less Than A Majority But Can It Be “Control”?

How Will the Exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (“Brexit”) Affect U.S. Corporations Doing Business in the UK?

· July 3, 2016 ·

On June 23, 2016, the UK voted in a referendum to leave the EU. The UK government will now initiate the procedure under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty leading to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The UK will be immediately excluded from the European Council and the Council of Ministers, and a negotiation period of two years will commence during which the terms of its withdrawal and of its future relationship with the EU will be determined. No member state has initiated this procedure before, and so it is impossible to predict what this future relationship will be. Furthermore, the UK’s relationships with non-EU states will have to be independently reestablished, as it will no longer be entitled to rely on the bilateral treaties with those states it enjoyed whilst an EU member state.This Client Alert will focus on the likely impact of Brexit on the laws of the UK influencing key business areas for U.S. corporations doing business in the UK.

Executive Compensation, DOJ Compliance, Corporate Ethics: Corporate Law and Governance Update March 2017

· March 12, 2017 ·

Executive Compensation DevelopmentsThe general counsel should anticipate questions from the board and its executive compensation committee from recent media coverage of executive compensation (especially in the nonprofit sector). This increased focus has concentrated on issues relating to reasonableness of compensation, and the use of compensation to reward particular organization and individual success—and to hold executives accountable for shortfalls in leadership or performance. Media attention to nonprofit executive compensation is nothing new, and data contained in Form 990 filings should always be expected to “see the light of day.” The general counsel can address related concerns by advising her internal board/committee clients to focus on the following critical factors: (a) the comprehensive nature of the board’s executive compensation approval process and the strength of the position on the "Rebuttable Presumption"; (b) familiarity with all … [Read more...] about Executive Compensation, DOJ Compliance, Corporate Ethics: Corporate Law and Governance Update March 2017
