In 2013, the Delaware General Assembly adopted a number of significant changes to the Delaware General Corporation Law; a number of additional changes have been proposed to become effective on August 1, 2014. These changes include a method to streamline stockholder approval of public company merger transactions; methods for streamlining closings; simplifying the adoption of corporate name changes; and a new structure for addressing past corporate errors. The legislature also adopted a new subchapter authorizing the creation of Delaware Public Benefit Corporations. Finally, the legislature is considering an important change to the statutory statute of limitation that applies to contracts. These changes, and how they can be used to your advantage, will be the subject of this on-demand webinar.
