Proposed Amendments to Delaware Law That Would Allow Corporations to Postpone Annual Meetings in Light of COVID-19 Pandemic May Undermine Stockholder Democracy
Certain factions within the Delaware State Bar Association are attempting to fast track legislation that would allow corporations incorporated in Delaware to postpone their annual meetings of stockholders in light of the COVID-19 public health threat.

The proposed amendment to the statute and our concerns therewith are discussed in this client alert. Read More ›
