The Delaware Court of Chancery recently issued its first opinion involving shareholder challenges to de-SPAC transactions in In re Multiplan Stockholders Litigation. The case involved breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by the SPAC’s public shareholders against the SPAC, the SPAC’s sponsor, and the SPAC’s board of directors. Plaintiffs’ complaint stemmed from allegations that the defendants failed to make adequate disclosures in the de-SPAC transaction’s proxy statement and other documents.
