Summary

Section 1 of the Act amends § 160(c) to clarify that shares of a corporation's capital stock held by any other entity (whether a corporation or non-corporate entity) are not entitled to be either voted or counted for quorum purposes if the corporation directly or indirectly holds a majority of such other entity's voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of, or is otherwise entitled to appoint or act as, the governing body of such entity. This amendment to § 160(c) should not be construed to create any negative implication with respect to the inclusion or exclusion of non-corporate entities in connection with any other section of the DGCL.
