"A trial was necessary to fully demonstrate that we conducted ourselves appropriately in the acquisition and we are very pleased with the Decision from the Court. The Decision is comprehensive, thorough, well-reasoned, and a complete rejection of the Trustee's legal and factual arguments," said David Shannon, NVIDIA's senior vice president and general counsel.
The Court expressly found that "the Trustee's valuation theory -- every way it is articulated -- is simply not credible," and concluded that "the creditors of 3dfx were not injured by the Transaction."
"We will continue to fight this matter through any and all appeals," said Mr. Shannon.
