ORDER
This 15th day of June 2001, upon consideration of the briefs, supplemental memoranda and the oral argument held on June 13, 2001, it appears to the Court that the judgment of the Court of Chancery should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth in its well-reasoned Opinion dated August 12, 1999. To the extent that appellants had claimed on appeal that the Vice Chancellor improperly considered matters outside the pleadings on a motion to dismiss under Chancery Rule 12(b)(6), we find that appellants expressly acquiesced in the consideration of the questioned matters and abandoned their initial contention that these matters could not be considered on a motion to dismiss. See Opinion at 10 n. 5.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of Chancery is AFFIRMED.
