Plaintiffs cross-appeal the same order.
We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for entry of an order with prejudice. Plaintiffs sold their stock at book value, signing a redemption agreement which provided that if the corporation was sold for a higher per share price within two years from the date of the agreement, plaintiffs would receive the higher price. Additionally, the contract contained a release that absolved AMC, its directors, shareholders, and agents from any and all liability that might arise out of plaintiffs' status as shareholders. More than two years later, AMC was purchased for a per share price much higher than plaintiffs had been paid. Plaintiffs filed the present complaint against AMC and Norman and Drew Peslar, its principals individually, alleging breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, innocent or negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract.
