The court held that newspaper articles and their exhibition were admissible for the limited non‑truth‑proving purpose of demonstrating that such reports existed and therefore could have informed the board's concerns about reputation and shareholder opposition, but struck out specific passages that consisted of conjecture, conclusions or opinion based on those reports because they were irrelevant, scandalous or devoid of probative value; the appropriate challenge to weight and relevance of the exhibits is for the substantive hearing.
