IRA Trust FBO Bobbie Ahmed v. Crane
Annotate this CaseThe Court of Chancery dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a claim for relief in this action arising out of a reclassification of the shares of NRG Yield, Inc. A stockholder of the company filed this action asserting that members of the company’s board members breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their approval of the reclassification and that NRG Energy, Inc. breached its fiduciary duty as a controlling stockholder by causing the company to undertake the reclassification. In dismissing the case, the Court of Chancery held (1) the reclassification was a conflicted transaction subject to entire fairness review; (2) the analytical framework articulated in Kahn v. M&F Worldwide, Corp., 88 A.3d 635 (Del. 2014), a squeeze-out merger case, applied to the reclassification; and (3) that framework was satisfied in this case from the face of these pleadings.
