The court began by noting that "[i]n circumstances such as these, the Pure stockholders are entitled to disclosure of all material facts pertinent to the decisions they are being asked to make."[56] In this case, Pure's shareholders had two initial choices: tender or not tender.
[14] Although the controlling stockholder can approve a back-end merger by written consent (assuming the certificate of incorporation does not restrict action by consent), the action may not be effective until the minority stockholders are provided with an information statement and 20 business days have passed, as required by federal securities law.
