|
|
Save the date for Teach Children to Save Day - April 25th through 29th. Classrooms are now signing up for Delaware's 24th Annual Teach Children to Save event... with the majority being in-person! Over the years Delaware’s bankers have taught an important lesson on saving to over 225,000 kids. Bank volunteer registration opens in early March.
The Delaware Bankers Association and the Delaware Financial Education Alliance are proud to announce a new book – The Lonely Bill - created especially for this year. The Lonely Bill tells the story of a ten-dollar bill that a boy receives from his grandmother, and what happens to money when it is squandered. The book reinforces the concept of the value of saving in a local bank for the depositor and for the community as a whole.
Bank sponsorships for the book and the event are welcome. Join the growing list of sponsors including: Barclays, WSFS Bank, Fulton Bank, First Citizens Community Bank; and, Shore United Bank.

Morris James: M&A, Stockholder Cases to Watch in Delaware Courts in 2022 |
|
Corporate practitioners have much to anticipate in 2022 as the Delaware Supreme Court and Court of Chancery resolve pending cases that will inform the judgment of litigation and transactional attorneys.
Cases ripe for decision in 2022 include a Court of Chancery decision involving whether a minority stockholder nonetheless is a “controlling stockholder.” In addition, the Delaware Supreme Court will consider whether a stockholder seeking books and records may rely upon hearsay evidence to demonstrate at trial that it has one or more proper purposes, or whether admissible testimony by the stockholder is required.
The Delaware Supreme Court also will decide whether a party who terminates a merger agreement extinguishes its rights to pursue claims of pre-termination breach.
