Business Wire
As previously disclosed, on March 22, 2010, an affiliated group
of hedge funds holding outstanding warrants (the “BPW Warrants”) to
purchase shares of common stock of BPW Acquisition Corp. (“BPW”)
filed an action captioned Pentwater Growth Fund, Ltd., et al. v.
BPW Acquisition Corp., et al., C.A. No. 5367-VCS, in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware against BPW and The Talbots, Inc.
(“Talbots”). The complaint alleges that BPW has breached the
Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2008, by and between
the Company and Mellon Investor Services, LLC, related to the BPW
Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) and its implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing by proposing certain amendments to the
Warrant Agreement. Specifically, the complaint challenges
amendments proposed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by BPW
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2010 (the
“Consent Solicitation”). On March 23, 2010, plaintiffs filed a
motion for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) seeking
preliminary relief commensurate with their requested injunction. On
March 26, 2010, the Court denied plaintiffs’ motion for a TRO.
Ruling at the conclusion of the hearing on the motion, the Court
found that none of the requirements for a TRO had been met: (1)
that plaintiffs had not identified colorable claims; (2) that
plaintiffs had identified no imminent, irreparable harm; and (3)
that the balance of the equities tilted against any relief at this
time.
