Which of the following was the result on appeal in McCann v. McCann, the case in the text involving whether a corporation engaged in a "squeeze-out" as to a minority shareholder?
A) That the business judgment rule does not apply in such situations and that so long as there is any business reason for a transaction, a corporation cannot be found liable for a "squeeze-out" resulting in dismissal of the plaintiff's claims.
B) That while the business judgment rule applied, the corporation submitted sufficient evidence to establish legitimate reasons for all questioned transactions and that it, therefore, could not be held liable to the complaining minority shareholder.
C) That a material question of fact as to whether the directors could be found to have engaged in a "squeeze-out" of the beneficiary, causing him harm beyond every other shareholder, and that the case would be remanded for further proceedings.
D) That because he owned over 20% of the stock, the failure to grant the complaining minority shareholder a seat on the board in and of itself was sufficient under the facts presented to establish that the corporation was guilty of behavior constituting an illegal "squeeze-out."
E) That the failure to declare a dividend when sufficient assets existed with which to do so in and of itself was sufficient under the facts presented to establish that the corporation was guilty of behavior constituting an illegal "squeeze-out."
