Wilmington Savings Fund Society FSB v. Foresight Energy LLC, C.A. 11059-VCL (December 4, 2015)

This is a potentially significant decision because it interprets a change in control clause to include a change in beneficial ownership of an entity's securities. Hence, not only actual changes in ownership may trigger such clauses and drafters need to be aware of this point.
