• holding an antireliance clause barred claims for both fraudulent representations and omissions even though the clause did not expressly refer to omissions
• finding control when the complaint “spells out the major role that [the defendant] played in the sale” of the company, including negotiating the terms of the merger
• enforcing an agreement that parties would rely solely on certain matters and barring a fraud claim based on statements made after the execution of a contract and before closing
• “[T]he Third Circuit has held that the [group pleading] doctrine did not survive the enactment of the PSLRA.”
