Robbins Umeda LLP is investigating whether officers and directors of Sanchez Energy breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by approving several related party transactions that cost the company millions of dollars.  In documents recently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the board of Sanchez Energy disclosed that it had approved grants of restricted stock to several individuals directly related to Antonio R. Sanchez, III, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company.  According to SEC filings, the board granted more than 850,000 shares of Sanchez Energy stock, valued at approximately $14.7 million, to relatives of Mr. Sanchez, including his father and several brothers. 

Robbins Umeda LLP highlights that Sanchez Energy shareholders have the option to file a shareholder derivative action to hold those officers and directors accountable for damaging the company.  Remedies commonly sought in derivative actions include corporate governance reforms designed to prevent future misconduct, removal of officers or directors whose misconduct injured the corporation, and monetary payments in the form of damages and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains.
