Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed an injunction requiring Hill International to recognize Opportunity Partners’ shareholder proposals and director nominations at Hill’s annual meeting. The court held that a bylaw reference to an annual meeting “on or about” a particular date is not a public disclosure of the specific meeting date, so the ten-day notice period applied after Hill later disclosed the actual date. The court also upheld expedited appellate review of the partial final judgment. No separate opinions were filed.
