In Berger v. Pubco Corp., No. 509, 2008, 2009 WL 1976529 (Del. July 9, 2009), the Delaware Supreme Court held that minority shareholders who tender in short-form mergers based on incomplete disclosures may bring a class action for damages without an "opt in" requirement or the need to escrow the merger consideration in the interim.
