NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Court of Chancery is AFFIRMED.  Plaintiffs’ request for costs is DENIED.

1 While the Court of Chancery’s modest incentive fee award to the plaintiffs did not constitute an 
abuse of discretion, we recognize that incentive fee awards may be problematic under other 
circumstances.  For this reason, we encourage a careful review of the factors to be considered 
before making incentive fee awards.  See Raider v. Sunderland, 2006 WL 75310, at *2 (Del. Ch. 
Jan 4, 2006).
