Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is exploring the possibility of changing its state of incorporation from Delaware to states like Texas. This consideration arises as Meta faces multiple shareholder lawsuits in Delaware, notably linked to privacy issues with Cambridge Analytica. Transitioning to a state perceived as more business-friendly could provide advantages in litigation. Despite these discussions, Meta's headquarters will remain in Menlo Park, California, and no final decision has been made. This move mirrors SpaceX’s recent shift to Texas after legal challenges in Delaware.
Many shareholder lawsuits are filed in Delaware courts and Meta faces litigation there, including one from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, signaling a need for a strategic shift.
Incorporating in another state that might be more favorable to companies could help Meta avoid potential litigation risks that stem from shareholder lawsuits.
