Af­ter rais­ing claims Bridge­Bio wild­ly over­paid di­rec­tors, the ac­cuser wants a $4M re­ward

Back in May of last year, a Bridge­Bio in­vestor filed a com­plaint al­leg­ing that the com­pa­ny’s board of di­rec­tors — home to a few of the biggest names in phar­ma — breached their du­ties by ap­prov­ing a plan to gross­ly over­pay them­selves.

Now that in­vestor is ask­ing for a $4 mil­lion re­ward for ser­vices ren­dered.

At­tor­neys rep­re­sent­ing in­vestor Joel Za­lvin filed a re­quest for a $4 mil­lion fee award on March 22 in the Delaware Court of Chancery, ar­gu­ing that the fee is “well-jus­ti­fied” giv­en the ben­e­fits achieved by in­ter­cept­ing a plan that would have seen Bridge­Bio’s di­rec­tors make $1.25 mil­lion an­nu­al­ly over the next four years, ac­cord­ing to a Law360 re­port.
