[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Motion to Dismiss on Shareholder Derivative Claims Case No. [Insert Case Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you as the legal representative of [Company Name] in response to the recent filing of shareholder derivative claims against our client. We seek your attention and cooperation to evaluate our Motion to Dismiss, which addresses the allegations raised in the complaint. We understand the importance of ensuring that all shareholders' rights are protected, as well as the need for transparency and accountability in corporate governance. However, we firmly believe that the claims made in the complaint lack merit and fail to substantiate any wrongdoing on the part of our client's board of directors or executive management. Our Motion to Dismiss is based on various legal grounds and aims to showcase the invalidity of the claims asserted. The core arguments presented in our motion include: 1. Lack of standing: We will demonstrate that the plaintiffs lack the standing to assert derivative claims on behalf of the company due to their failure to meet the necessary requirements as prescribed under Michigan state law. 2. Failure to make a demand: The complaint fails to allege any specific reasons why a demand upon the board of directors to take corrective action would have been futile. We will illustrate that the failure to make a pre-suit demand undermines the plaintiffs' claim and necessary prerequisites for asserting derivative claims. 3. Failure to plead with particularity: The complaint inadequately alleges specific facts to support the claims made, thereby failing to meet the heightened pleading standards required for shareholder derivative claims. 4. Business judgment rule: Our motion will emphasize that the board of directors exercised their business judgment in making the decisions challenged by the plaintiffs, which are protected under the business judgment rule. Our legal team has meticulously researched and prepared our Motion to Dismiss, providing comprehensive legal arguments and precedent-setting cases that favor the dismissal of these shareholder derivative claims. We are confident that the court will recognize the lack of merit in the plaintiffs' allegations and grant our motion accordingly. We kindly request your cooperation in reviewing our Motion to Dismiss and considering the arguments we have presented. Furthermore, we are open to discussing any potential resolution of this matter that aligns with our client's best interests, as well as the principles of corporate governance. Should you have any questions or require further information regarding this matter or our motion, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. We look forward to your positive response and a swift resolution to this dispute. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Company Name]
