Jana Master Fund, LTD. v. CNET Networks, Inc. by Court of Chancery on 3/13/2008
The Court of Chancery held that the Notice Bylaw did not apply to JANA’s proxy because JANA planned to fund its own proxy. The court determined that “CNET’s Notice Bylaw unambiguously applies only to proposals and nominations a shareholder wishes to have included in the corporate proxy materials.”
