2017 Amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law
In its most recently completed session, the Delaware state legislature adopted amendments to various provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL). These amendments became effective August 1. While many of the amendments were technical in nature (e.g., amendments to the merger provisions of DGCL §§ 252, 253, 258 and 267 to consistently use the term “foreign corporation” when referring to corporations organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware), others are of more significance to practitioners.
