Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE BRYAN REILLY, individually on § behalf of himself and all others § No. 426, 2025 similarly situated, § § Court Below: Court of Chancery Plaintiff Below, § of the State of Delaware Appellant, § § C.A. No. 2024-0654 v. § § KEITH L. HORN, ZACHARY § TARICA, THOMAS STAGGS, § PETER SCHLESSEL, MARTIN § LUTHER KING III, TERESA MILES § WALSH, SHEILA A.

Submitted: April 22, 2026 Decided: May 7, 2026 Before SEITZ, Chief Justice; LEGROW, and GRIFFITHS, Justices.
ORDER This 7th day of May 2026, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal, and after oral argument, we find it evident that the judgment of the Court of Chancery should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons stated in its Memorandum Opinion dated September 30, 2025.1 The unjust enrichment claim is also barred by laches. Like the breach of fiduciary duty claim, the unjust enrichment claim accrued when the allegedly misleading proxy statement was disseminated to stockholders. The unjust enrichment claim was not brought within three years of the proxy’s issuance and tolling does not apply for the reasons stated in the Court of Chancery’s opinion.2 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of Chancery is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT: /s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr. Chief Justice
