Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Motion to Dismiss on Shareholder Derivative Claims Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a shareholder of [Company Name] regarding a motion to dismiss the shareholder derivative claims against the company. In light of recent developments and in accordance with Puerto Rico corporate laws, I believe it is necessary to address these claims promptly and efficiently to protect the best interests of the company and its stakeholders. As a shareholder, I acknowledge the importance of fostering a transparent, accountable, and well-governed corporate environment. However, after a thorough examination of the claims brought forth in the shareholder derivative lawsuit, I firmly believe that the motion to dismiss is crucial to prevent unnecessary disruption, potential harm to the company's reputation, and the wasteful expenditure of resources. To provide context, Puerto Rico corporate laws permit shareholders to initiate derivative actions on behalf of the company when the fiduciary duties of the company's directors and officers have allegedly been breached, leading to harm against the company. While derivative claims are an important tool to hold corporate leaders accountable, it is essential to distinguish between valid claims that truly benefit the company and those initiated for personal gain or based on frivolous allegations. In the case at hand, the majority of the shareholder derivative claims lack merit, fail to demonstrate harm to the company, and appear to be driven by personal motivations rather than a genuine concern for the company's well-being. Furthermore, careful review reveals that the claims lack sufficient evidence, fall outside the statute of limitations, or rely on incorrectly interpreted facts. As a fiduciary duty of the company's directors and officers is to act with utmost care in the best interest of the shareholders, dismissing these claims will protect the company from unnecessary legal costs, safeguard its reputation, and allow management to focus on strategically driving growth and enhancing shareholder value. In support of the motion to dismiss, I have attached a detailed memorandum outlining the legal basis for the dismissal of each claim, citing relevant Puerto Rico corporate laws and precedent cases that align with our position. It is my hope that upon careful review of the memorandum, you will find merit in the motion to dismiss and act accordingly. I kindly request that you share this letter, along with the attached memorandum, with all relevant stakeholders, including the board of directors and legal counsel, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the shareholder perspective and the necessity of dismissing these claims. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I trust that you will make an informed decision that upholds the principles of good corporate governance and protects the best interests of the company and its shareholders. Should you require any further documentation or have any questions regarding the contents of this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or via email at [Your Email Address]. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
