• Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) Amendments: On March 25, 2025, amendments to the DGCL were signed into law that (1) reduce a corporation’s exposure to litigation risk for breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with an interested transaction and (2) impose new procedural requirements on stockholders’ “books and records” demands and narrow the types of books and records that a corporation must produce.
