Former shareholders seek damages and to unwind merger
WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ In a lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court, Tom Rogers and Hank Ratner, former board members of WinView, Inc., were accused of advancing their personal interests over their duty to common stockholders when arranging the three-way merger that created Engine Media Holdings last year. As a result of their actions, Rogers and Ratner benefited financially from the merger and joined the board of the new company, while common shareholders were left with virtually nothing. The suit, filed by Diamond McCarthy on behalf of the plaintiff shareholders, calls for the reversal of the merger, a monetary damages award and the return of patents covering online and sports betting to WinView, which contributed them in the ill-fated merger.
