This 17th day of September, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties, and 
their contentions in oral argument, it appears to the Court that the judgment of the Court 
of Chancery1 should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth in its 
decision dated April 4, 2007. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of 
Chancery is AFFIRMED. 
 
 
 
 
 
BY THE COURT: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
/s/ Jack B. Jacobs 
                                                                                      Justice 
 
                                          
 
1  Although the Order being appealed was arguably interlocutory at the time it was filed (because 
of the pendency of an application for attorneys’ fees), the appellants have waived their challenge 
to the denial in the trial court of their attorneys’ fee application.  The result is to render the 
judgment a final judgment for appeal purposes, and to obviate any jurisdictional issue.
