We are subject to the Ohio Anti-Greenmail Statute, which provides that a public Ohio corporation may recover profits that a shareholder makes from the sale of the corporation’s securities within 18 months after making a proposal to acquire control or publicly disclosing the possibility of a proposal to acquire control. The corporation may not, however, recover from a person who proves either: (1) that his or her sole purpose in making the proposal was to succeed in acquiring control of the corporation and there were reasonable grounds to believe that he or she would acquire control of the corporation; or (2) that his or her purpose was not to increase any profit or decrease any loss in the stock. Also, before the corporation may obtain any recovery, the aggregate amount of the profit realized by such person must exceed $250,000. Any shareholder may bring an action on behalf of the corporation if a corporation refuses to bring an action to recover these profits. The party bringing such an action may recover his or her attorneys’ fees if the court having jurisdiction over such action orders recovery of any profits.
