Van Gorkom<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 <em>Van Gorkom<\/em> held that a corporation\u2019s directors breached their duty of care by\u00a0failing \u201cto inform themselves of all information reasonably available to them\u201d before approving a merger agreement.\u00a0 Those directors were personally liable for the monetary damages resulting from their gross negligence.\u00a0 The prospect that a director could be held personally liable for negligence was perceived as creating two problems: (1) decreasing the pool of qualified individuals willing to serve as directors of Delaware corporations, and (2) drastically increasing the cost of D&amp;O liability insurance.\u00a0 This <a href=\"https:\/\/casetext.com\/case\/malpiede-v-townson\">\u201cdirectors and officers insurance liability crisis\u201d<\/a> was the catalyst for the General Assembly\u2019s decision to adopt Section 102(b)(7). \u00a0Today, these exculpation provisions are ubiquitous among Delaware corporations.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the Delaware Supreme Court clarified in its 2009 decision in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/caselaw.findlaw.com\/de-supreme-court\/1129452.html\">Gantler v. Stephens<\/a><\/em> that officers owe the same fiduciary duties as directors. In so holding, the Court discussed Section 102(b)(7), and concluded that \u201c[a]lthough legislatively possible, there currently is no statutory provision authorizing comparable exculpation of corporate officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recent years stockholder plaintiffs have highlighted the difference in exculpation available to officers and directors by increasingly asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims against officers.\u00a0 This has resulted in decisions which deny motions to dismiss brought by officers while granting those same motions with respect to the corporation\u2019s directors.\u00a0 This raises the issue of how to differentiate actions taken by someone who was both an officer and a director, with the Court of Chancery having stated that plaintiffs <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/delaware\/court-of-chancery\/2019\/consolidated-c-a-no-2018-0789-jrs.html\">must draw the distinction<\/a> between exculpated claims relating to the defendant\u2019s role as a board member, and non-exculpated claims relating to their conduct as a company officer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Proposed Amendments<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To address this issue the proposed amendment would authorize a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision to eliminate or limit the monetary liability of certain officers for breach of the duty of care.\u00a0 In doing so, it does not copy the exculpation framework available to directors, but rather has important differences.\u00a0 What it does copy is the categories of conduct (relevant to officers) that cannot be exculpated (breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith, etc.); these are the same for officers as for directors.<\/p>\n<p>As for the differences, unlike directors\u2014who may be exculpated for both direct and derivative claims\u2014officers, under the proposed amendment, may only be exculpated from liability relating to direct claims. Officers thus could still face monetary liability for derivative claims.\u00a0 Further, not all officers can be exculpated.\u00a0 The proposed amendment defines \u201cofficer\u201d as \u201ca person who at the time of such act or omission is deemed to have consented to service by the delivery of process to the registered agent of the corporation pursuant to \u00a7 3114(b) of Title 10\u201d the Delaware long-arm statute.\u00a0 Thus, only the individuals covered by that section qualify for exculpation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Conclusion<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with those provisions for directors, the exculpation of officers is not automatic.\u00a0 If the proposed amendments become law, corporations will need to act affirmatively to include such a provision in their certificate of incorporation.\u00a0 The history of director exculpation provisions indicates that provisions exculpating officers will likely become ubiquitous for public companies incorporated in Delaware.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nicholas D.
