SоlаrTech Inc. ("SоlаrTech") is а publicly traded Califоrnia corporation that manufactures solar panels and energy storage systems. The Founder family owns 55% of SolarTech's voting stock through Class B shares, giving them control of the Board. The remaining 45% is held by public shareholders who own Class A non-voting common stock that trades on NASDAQ. In January 2026, David, SolarTech's CEO and member of the Founder family, learned that SolarTech's new battery technology had critical safety defects requiring a costly recall. David knew this would cause the stock price to collapse when announced. On January 15, David sold 100,000 shares of his personal SolarTech stock at $50 per share. David also called his college roommate, Eric, and told him, "You should get out of SolarTech now. Trust me on this." Eric sold his 20,000 shares at $50 per share on January 16. On February 1, SolarTech publicly announced the battery defects and recall. The stock price dropped to $15 per share. On March 1, GlobalEnergy Corp. offered to acquire all of SolarTech's assets for $25 per share. The Founder family negotiated a side agreement with GlobalEnergy: GlobalEnergy would pay the Founder family $40 per share for their controlling stake, while public shareholders would receive only $25 per share in the merger. The Board, controlled by the Founder family, approved this structure on March 15. On March 20, David purchased 50,000 shares at $24 per share in anticipation of the $25 merger payment. Public shareholder Maria owns 3% of SolarTech's Class A shares. She demands inspection of SolarTech's books to investigate potential wrongdoing by David and the Founder family. SolarTech refuses, claiming Maria lacks a proper purpose. Maria also wants to challenge David's trading activity and the differential merger consideration. What claims can Maria assert against David and the Founder family? Is Maria entitled to inspect SolarTech's books? Discuss all relevant issues in IRAC form.
