MEMORANDUM OPINION

NORWOOD CARLTON TILLEY JR., Senior District Judge.

This case involves the unwinding of what has been described as "one of the biggest mergers and most fought-over leveraged buyouts of the 1980's, a battle that became a symbol of the decade's excesses" — the 1986 merger of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and Nabisco. Ironically, the merger was "intended to enhance the tobacco company's increasingly negative image."1
