OPINION OF THE COURT

Friedmann, J.

At issue on the instant appeal, inter alia, is whether a corporate shareholder may sue for money damages where the corporation sells all or substantially all of its assets, the sale is not made in the usual or regular course of business, the corporation fails to give the shareholder proper notice of that action as required by Business Corporation Law § 909 (a), and the shareholder does not bring a proceeding to value his shares pursuant to Business Corporation Law § 623. We hold that under these circumstances, a shareholder may sue for money damages.
