- holding that prior business relationships between SLC member and the defendants prevented a finding of independence
- holding that the “report itself raises serious questions about the integrity of his committee’s findings”
- concluding that the investigation carried out by the SLC was “proeedurally infirm” and thus not entitled to any deference
- concluding that the SLC members, who had a previous business relationship with the defendants, had not convinced the court of their “independence.”
- reversing summary judgment where sole committee member had other connections with defendants showing possible bias
- describing that although Auerbach and Zapata “diverge on the issue of the judicial deference appropriate to the substantive business judgments of a special committee, they are convergent in their approach to the issues of good faith and thoroughness”
