Plaintiff Montini Should Be Appointed As Lead Plaintiff For The Consolidated Derivative Action Sample Clauses

Plaintiff Montini Should Be Appointed As Lead Plaintiff For The Consolidated Derivative Action. Shareholders who lead a derivative suit (perhaps because of the statutory requirement that the shareholder must “fairly and adequately” represent the corporation’s interests) occupy a position “of a fiduciary character,” in which “[t]he interests of all in the redress of the wrongs are taken into his hands, dependent upon his diligence, wisdom and integrity.” Xxxxx v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 549 (1949). As stated by one Fourth Circuit court: In a shareholder’s derivative action, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 states a lead plaintiff must “fairly and adequately represent the interest[s] of the shareholders . . . in enforcing the right of the corporation or association.” Horn x. Xxxxxx, 227 F.R.D. 1, 3 (D.D.C. 2005) (second alteration in original) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 23.1). While statutory authority does not require the appointment of lead plaintiff(s) in a shareholder derivative action, “[t]he court should seek appropriate leadership structure to coordinate the litigation and avoid duplication.” In re Doral Fin. Corp. Sec. Litig., No. 05 MDL 1706 (RO), 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24647, at *8–9 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 27, 2006) (citing MacAlister v. Xxxxxxx, 263 F.2d 65, 68–69 (2d Cir. 1958)); Pompano Beach, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 112014 (same). Here, appointing a lead plaintiff is appropriate in the Consolidated Derivative Action. The transactions and occurrences forming the heart of the related Derivative Actions (including misconduct related to Exxon’s purported use of a proxy cost of carbon to evaluate and value its business decisions and assets) are vast and complex. The harm to Exxon arises, in part, from the government and private investigations and lawsuits filed against Exxon in response to the Defendants misconduct, including the Related Securities Class Action and the New York Office of the Attorney General’s investigation and lawsuit. Accordingly, the appointment of a lead plaintiff will allow the Company’s shareholders to speak with a unified voice and advance Exxon’s claims against the alleged wrongdoers in the most efficient way possible. To serve as a lead plaintiff, a shareholder must “fairly and adequately represent the interests of the shareholders or members similarly situated in enforcing the right of the corporation or association.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 23.1. “Analyzing a plaintiff’s fitness to be lead plaintiff is determined under various factors including (1) whether the plaintiff held shares during the relevant time period...
