1 Hw t Becme a Delaware Public Benefit Crpratin This utline describes the majr steps required fr an existing Delaware crpratin t becme a Delaware public benefit crpratin. 1. Summary. In rder t becme a public benefit crpratin (a PBC ), a traditinal Delaware crpratin must draft an amendment t its certificate f incrpratin (an Amendment ). The amendment must be apprved by the bard f directrs, and then by the stckhlders. Once apprved, the amendment must be filed with the Secretary s State f Delaware. Under certain circumstances, the crpratin must prvide its stckhlders wh d nt apprve the amendment with the right t cash ut their stck fr fair value ( appraisal rights ). Once the amendment is filed, the crpratin shuld include a legend n its stck certificates, stating that the crpratin is a PBC. 2. Cntents f Amendment. A sample frm f Amendment is attached as Appendix A. The fllwing prvisins are either required r shuld be cnsidered: 2.1. The heading f the certificate must state that the crpratin is a public benefit crpratin The name f the crpratin may be changed t add the wrds public benefit crpratin, the abbreviatin P.B.C., r the designatin PBC. If the name is nt changed, then if the PBC is nt publicly traded, the PBC must ntify anyne wh purchases stck that the crpratin is a PBC The certificate must identify ne r mre specific public benefits t be prmted by the crpratin Delaware gives public benefit crpratins the ptin f cmmitting t make its statement abut its effrts t create public benefit: 1) available t the public (as ppsed t its stckhlders nly); 2) annually (as ppsed t biennially); and 3) in accrdance with a third party standard (as ppsed t using its wn methdlgy). If a crpratin is already a Certified B Crpratin r is thinking f becming ne, B Lab recmmends that it make each f thse cmmitments in its certificate. See the sample language n Appendix A at the end f this dcument Delaware permits a public benefit crpratin t include in its certificate a prvisin that a disinterested failure by a directr t satisfy the requirements applicable t directrs f a public benefit crpratin will nt cnstitute an act r missin nt in gd faith r a breach f the duty f lyalty. The purpse f such a prvisin is t prtect directrs and shuld be cnsidered by any crpratin This utline is nt intended t prvide legal advice t any specific business. Businesses shuld btain legal and accunting advice befre taking any steps t becme a public benefit crpratin.
2 cnsidering an electin t be a public benefit crpratin. language n Appendix A at the end f this dcument. See the sample Nte: The Delaware statute will permit the prvisins described in 2.3 and 2.4 t be placed in the bylaws instead f the certificate. B Lab recmmends that Certified B Crpratins place the statements in the certificate f incrpratin t make them mre difficult t change. 3. Bard apprval. The bard f directrs must apprve the Amendment and recmmend that the amendment be submitted t the stckhlders fr apprval. The certificate f incrpratin and bylaws shuld be reviewed t determine the vte required. 4. Stckhlder apprval. The stckhlders must apprve the Amendment. The statute requires a 2/3 s affirmative vte f the utstanding shares f f the crpratin. The certificate f incrpratin and bylaws shuld be reviewed t determine the vte required whether any additinal vte is required. 5. Appraisal rights. If the crpratin is nt publicly traded,, stckhlders wh did nt vte fr the Amendment are entitled t an appraisal by the Delaware Curt f Chancery f the fair market value f the stckhlder s share f stck. The crpratin is required t prvide its stckhlders with ntice f their right t an appraisal. See Appendix B fr details regarding the prcess and requirements fr appraisal rights in Delaware. 6. File amendment. After the bard and stckhlders apprve the amendment, the Amendment must be prepared and filed with the Secretary f State. 7. Print and issue new stck certificates. The Delaware law requires that a stck certificate issued by a public benefit crpratin nte cnspicuusly that the crpratin is a public benefit crpratin. It is unclear whether that requirement applies t stck certificates issued befre a crpratin becmes a public benefit crpratin. T avid a later challenge by a persn that acquires shares represented by a stck certificate withut that ntatin, the crpratin shuld cnsider printing new stck certificates with the required ntatin and issuing the new stck certificates t its existing stckhlders. 8. Name change. If the PBC has adpted a new name, it shuld make the necessary changes t reflect the new name. The crpratin shuld update, fr example, bank accunts, business cards, intellectual prperty registratins, etc. There is n set timing fr cmpletin f these changes; hwever, a crpratin shuld aim t cmplete them within a cmmercially reasnable time fllwing the public benefit crpratin electin. 2
