On April 27, 2022, Vice Chancellor Slights of the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a lengthy decision handing a rare post-trial win to a controlling stockholder defendant in a litigation governed by Delaware’s stringent “entire fairness” test. In In re Tesla Motors, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, the Court of Chancery held that, notwithstanding a variety of imperfections in the process leading up to the deal, defendant Elon Musk had proven that Tesla Motors, Inc. paid a fair price in its $2.6 billion stock-for-stock acquisition of SolarCity Corporation.
