The Board of Directors of InfoHub, an internet service provider, contains 9 directors. Two of the directors, Jude and Rostan, decide they want to replace several of the directors with individuals who support their position and then take over the Board and control the company. Jude thinks it’s a long shot, but Rostan tells him they could do it because Rostan has gradually been accumulating shares and they can get a majority of proxies on their side. Jude says the proxies are not important, because it’s the shareholders that vote for the members of the board but it is difficult for them to find the names of shareholders. Rostan tells him not to worry, because he will get the shareholder list and focus only a few key shareholders, then get their proxies on his side before the next shareholder meeting. What type of takeover is contemplated in this situation?

Allison is president of “We Manage You,” a corporation set up to manage physician practices. Allison has never been very concerned with minority shareholders because she believes that they have little influence over the company since they cannot even elect a director. She is told, however, that her state just instituted the practice of cumulative voting. An election is coming up in which 10 directors will be elected. Minority shareholders own 2,000 shares, while majority shareholders own 8,000 shares. Allison tells her vice president, Marco, that she wants to ignore minority shareholders and focus her interests on majority shareholders and the directors. She also tells Marco that she wants to be particularly conscientious toward directors because the directors appoint officers, and she does not believe that she owes any actual duties to shareholders. She further orders Marco to destroy some documents subpoenaed in a criminal investigation against the company for illegal dumping. When Marco protests, Allison tells him not to worry because officers cannot be held responsible for criminal actions so long as the actions are done as part of the duties of an officer. She explains to him that only the corporation can be charged with liability in such cases. Is Allison correct that officers cannot be held criminally responsible for actions they take on behalf of a corporation?
