  • 1: Introduction
    1: INTRODUCTION FRIENDS OF FAIR HOUSING, On April 11, 1968, the federal Fair Housing Act was signed into law. On that day, President Lyndon B. Johnson stated that, “Now, with this bill, the voice of justice speaks again. It proclaims that fair housing for all — all human beings who live in this country — is now a part of the American way of life.” The hard-fought struggle for many decades to pass a federal law would not have been possible without organizing efforts led by civil rights organizations, religious leaders, and ordinary Americans who cared deeply about equality and justice. Demonstrations and marches occurred in many cities, demanding fair housing and an end to segregation. Tragically, in the end, it took the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968 and the subsequent eruption of violence in dozens of American cities to propel Congress to pass the Act. Dr. King was deeply committed to fair housing and what he deemed to be the goal of the civil rights movement – the creation of the beloved community. He understood that residential segregation was the foundation for many of the inequalities of our society, and therefore, fair housing was a requisite cornerstone of a just society. Dr. King once said, “Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” In other words, to create the beloved community requires not only winning hearts and minds, but also both restraining the actions of the heartless who discriminate and instituting policies that foster the creation of more just, equitable, and inclusive communities.

(“National Amusements”), NAI Entertainment Holdings LLC (“Holdings,” and together with National Amusements, “NAI”), and Shari Redstone (collectively, with NAI, “Plaintiffs”), by and through their undersigned counsel, upon knowledge as to themselves and otherwise upon information and belief, allege for their Verified Complaint herein as follows: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This case is about extraordinary, unjustified and unlawful actions by certain of the Directors (the “Director Defendants”) of CBS Corporation (“CBS” or the “Company,” and together with the Director Defendants, “Defendants”) to unilaterally dilute the voting rights of its controlling stockholder, NAI, for all purposes and for all time. It is undisputed that the Director Defendants’ actions are unprecedented under Delaware law. 2. The dilutive dividend—which the Director Defendants approved following a hastily called and perfunctory special meeting (“Special Meeting”) of the CBS Board (“Board”) on May 17, 2018, and on a “conditional” basis pending Delaware court review—is invalid for at least four reasons: (i) it was declared in violation of the Company’s bylaws; (ii) it was based on the recommendation of a special committee, comprised of five Director Defendants (“Special Committee”), acting far beyond its authority; (iii) it violates the Company’s charter; and (iv) the Director Defendants’ purported dilution of CBS’s voting stockholders violates the directors’ fiduciary duties in numerous ways.
