I feel the best course of action is for you and all other questioning shareholders to engage your own attorney. You've provided very little information about this scenario (which is understandable). Only a trained attorney can evaluate the facts and offer an opinion regarding the board's fiduciary responsibilities vs. the business judgment rule.
Good Luck.
