The Supreme Court established a three-pronged “universal” analysis innovated by the Court of Chancery, which blends the longstanding Aronson and Rales tests and eliminates the choice between them. However, the Court made clear that Aronson, Rales, and their progeny remain “good law” in applying the new test. |
