Delaware Court of Chancery Issues First Decision Addressing Public Benefit Corporations
On July 29, 2026, Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook of the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a decision addressing, for the first time, the fiduciary duties of directors of a public benefit corporation (PBC)—including in a sale of control.1 Under the PBC form, the purpose of corporate decision-making is not merely to advance stockholder value—as is the ultimate purpose of decision-making for a traditional Delaware corporation—but instead to balance three sets of interests: a specific public benefit purpose chosen by the PBC, the best interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct, and stockholders’ pecuniary interests.2 Delaware law first authorized the PBC form in 2013, and since that time, the form has grown in prominence, with many significant public and private companies operating as PBCs. Until this decision, however, there had not yet been direct case law guidance addressing PBCs. The decision, accordingly, is noteworthy for PBCs and companies considering adopting the PBC form.
