Plaintiff seeks to hold Defendant Enrique K. Razon, Jr. (“Razon”) liable as alter ego for the Debtor Defendants’ financial obligation under an arbitral award that exceeds $300 million.
Although the original request sought all meeting minutes, Plaintiff has narrowed the request to minutes “related to only: (i) GGAM, the MSA, the EOA, (ii) the underlying arbitration, (iii) the Philippine proceedings, (iv) the Singapore proceedings, (v) the Hong Kong proceedings (vs Deutsche Bank), (vi) the indemnification of Defendants in this action, (vii) issuance of dividends by BRHI, SPI or BRC, (viii) the Roadshow, (ix) investor conferences prior to September 1, 2013, (x) the Option Shares, or (xi) approval of annual financial statements or audits thereof, to the extent such meeting minutes exist.”5 The requested information is relevant to personal jurisdiction over the Debtor Defendants, as well as Plaintiff’s alter ego and trespass to chattel claims against Razon.
Each of the topics above relates to BRC’s corporate actions relevant to the allegations of the Second Amended Complaint, including, inter alia, (i) sending employees to the United States on the business of BRHI/SPI, (ii) 4 As a compromise, Plaintiff proposed a limited search of the email accounts for the BRHI/SPI board members (including Razon) for the one-month leading up to the BRHI/SPI board meetings (March 27 and April 27, 2021, inclusive) for (“indemn*” OR “hold harmless” OR Collingwood OR CICL OR “Asia Arrow” OR Rizolina OR Ensara OR Nozar OR “Bowery Bay” OR Campanilla OR Fesara OR “11 Essex”).
