Under Delaware law, a corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or the stock of which is held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders is not permitted to engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a three-year period following the time such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the transaction resulting in a person becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquires 85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that makes it an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are both officers and directors of the corporation, and shares held by certain employee stock ownership plans); or (iii) on or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and by the holders of at least 66 2 /3% of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock at an annual or special meeting (and not by written consent), excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Delaware law defines “interested stockholder” generally as a person who owns 15% or more of the outstanding shares of a corporation’s voting stock.
These provisions do not apply, among other exceptions, if (i) the corporation’s original certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by these provisions, or (ii) the corporation, by action of its stockholders, adopts an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws expressly electing not to be governed by these provisions.
The Delaware Certificate of Incorporation does not opt out of the business combination statutes. However, Delaware Corporation is not currently subject to these provisions because Delaware Corporation does not have a class of voting stock that is: (i) listed on a national securities exchange, or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders. If Fonon becomes subject to Section 203 in the future, Section 203 of the DGCL under certain circumstances June make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with Fonon for a three-year period. The provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL June encourage companies interested in acquiring Fonon to negotiate in advance with the Fonon Board of Directors, since the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approve either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.
