  • finding that complaint lacked factual allegations critical to a Caremark claim, such as lack of board committees, committees’ failure to meet regularly and committees’ failure to devote adequate time to their work
  • \the complaint fails to address whether the directors traded because options were expiring or because IPO-related restrictions on liquidity had recently ended.\
