  2. “By failing to prevent a creeping takeover the board had breached its duty of loyalty . . .”
  3. “The business judgement rule creates a presumption that directors act on an informed basis, in good faith and in honest belief that the action taken was in the best interest of the company . . .”
  4. “Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC is required to perform some level of review of each reporting company at least once every three years . . .”
