Repeatedly during a press conference Thurs, Landgraf said he wanted to FX Nets to “remain boutique,” with execs throwing around adjectives like “scrappy” and “indie.” And he’s not going to roll out the standard programming structure and put individual execs in charge of FX, FXX and FXM, instead naming Nick Grad and Eric Schrier both as presidents of original programming for FX Nets and FX Productions, overseeing all original programming for the 3 nets.

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.

  • Alumni Industry Leaders Gather
    ALUMNI INDUSTRY LEADERS GATHER This spring, industry thought leaders from the Pace alumni community gathered at Club 101 in Midtown Manhattan to network and participate in a discussion on “The Changing Media Landscape.” The event, hosted by the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, featured Pace Trustee Joseph Ianniello, ’90, Chief Operating Officer, CBS Corporation, and Jill Schlesinger, CFP®, CBS News Business Analyst, who discussed the topic in front of an audience of Pace alumni who occupy senior-level and executive-level positions in their respective industries. (Click here for photos from the evening.) After a brief but lively networking reception, Trustee Ianniello and Ms. Schlesinger took to the stage to discuss how the digital age is changing the media landscape for both corporations and consumers, and they talked about how media companies like CBS are adapting to the changes. They also discussed how other companies and even other industries outside of media can adapt to meet the needs of a new type of consumer with ever- changing needs. The highlight of the evening was the vigorous audience Q&A session at the end of the discussion where Trustee Ianniello fielded questions from the audience. Senior-level alumni working in industries ranging from asset management to sports memorabilia to technology were able to engage with Trustee Ianniello and get his thoughts on the different challenges and opportunities that a changing media landscape presents. At the conclusion of the event, Trustee Ianniello remarked, “Pace University has a such a diverse and successful alumni community, with many alumni holding executive-level positions at some of the most successful companies in the world.
