ORDER

After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record below, we find

it evident that the judgment of the Court of Chancery should be affirmed on the basis

1 Although the body of the notice of appeal identified only these entities and individuals as appellees in this appeal, the caption of the notice of appeal identified additional entities and individuals as appellees. The appellant later filed a notice of voluntary dismissal as to the additional parties identified in the caption of the notice of appeal. This order therefore includes only the parties against whom the appellant continues to press the appeal.

of and for the reasons stated in the Court of Chancery’s Memorandum Opinion dated

June 29, 2020; telephonic rulings and order dated November 18, 2020; post-trial

Memorandum Opinion dated July 30, 2021; Order Denying Motions for Reargument

dated September 17, 2021; telephonic bench ruling dated December 27, 2021; Order

dated June 1, 2022; bench ruling and Orders dated December 5, 2022; Order

Denying Motions for Reargument dated February 1, 2023; Letter Decision dated

April 6, 2023; and Order and Final Judgment dated July 7, 2023.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of

Chancery is AFFIRMED.

BY THE COURT:
