[Corporate Death] Janelle is president and a large sharehold…
Janelle is president and a large shareholder in RecyCALL, a corporation that sells used cellular telephones. Although the company was not insolvent, sales had been significantly down, and Janelle decided that it would be a good idea to discontinue the business. The board of directors agreed with her. The board members presented the proposal to discontinue the corporation to shareholders. Initially, Ahmed, a disgruntled shareholder, opposed ending the corporation. He claimed that the problem was that Janelle had done a poor job in management. Janelle planned to go forward with the termination of the company because a majority of the shareholders agreed. Ahmed, however, came around; and upon a second vote to discontinue the corporation, the vote was unanimous. Tony, a vice president of the corporation, was aware of a few outstanding debts owed by RecyCALL. He suggested hurrying along quietly with ending the corporation because any claims not made before the corporation was dissolved could be avoided. Janelle told him that she was not sure that was a good idea. Therefore, the company proceeded with all appropriate notifications. When the time came to liquidate the corporation, the members of the board did not want to participate. Janelle was concerned about what action to take at that point because she really wanted to be finished with RecyCALL. Which of the following should occur in the face of the board not wishing to be involved in liquidation proceedings?

[Partnership Problems] Jamar, Kenya, and Tamika want to form…
Jamar, Kenya, and Tamika want to form a partnership to sell students resume preparation and employment search services. Jamar asks Kenya and Tamika if they should draw up some sort of agreement. Kenya replies that a written agreement is not legally required and that an oral agreement will set up a partnership. Upon the urging of Jamar and Tamika, however, Kenya agreed to a written document setting up the partnership, which they all signed. It was a simple agreement listing the partners and did not specifically address the right to management or allocation of profits and losses. Kenya has an opportunity to assist some students with resumes and does so without revealing her employment to the partnership; she keeps the payment she receives for herself. When Jamar and Tamika find out, Kenya replies that she was doing two-thirds of the partnership work, particularly in regard to management; that she, therefore, has two-thirds of the voting rights; and that she voted that her actions were appropriate. The articles of partnership does not address the right to share in management, but Jamar and Tamika strongly disagree with Kenya. The written agreement creating the partnership entered into by Jamar, Kenya, and Tamika is referred to as the _______.

[Battle for the Board] The Board of Directors of InfoHub, an…
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?
