    Standards of Review ................................................................................................ 14
    Argument.................................................................................................................. 16
    I.       Defendants Are Entitled to Judgment on Mikkelsen’s
    Minority-Oppression Claims. ........................................................................ 16
    A.        Ritchie v. Rupe Held That Minority Oppression Is Not a Viable
    Cause of Action Under Texas Law. .................................................... 17
    B.        The Trial Court Erred in Concluding That the Relevant Holding
    in Ritchie v. Rupe Was Dicta. ............................................................. 18
    C.        Alternatively, the Evidence at Trial Was Not Legally or
    Factually Sufficient to Constitute Minority Oppression. .................... 20
    II.      Mikkelsen Cannot Recover on His Breach of Contract Claim or on His
    Declaratory Judgment Claim, and Defendants Should Prevail on Their
    Declaratory Judgment Claim. ........................................................................ 22
    A.        The 2006 Redemption Was Valid. ...................................................... 22
    ii
    B.       Defendants Are Entitled to Prevail on Their Declaratory
    Judgment Claim Because the 2013 Redemption and Tender
    Were Valid. ......................................................................................... 26
    C.       Regardless of the Validity of the Two Redemptions, Mikkelsen
    Cannot Show Any Damages Resulting from Defendants’
    Actions................................................................................................. 37
    D.       Even Assuming a Breach, Mikkelsen Is Not Entitled to Remain a
    Shareholder in Perpetuity; He Only Is Entitled to the Par Value
    of His Preferred Shares Plus Unpaid Dividends. ................................ 38
    III.     Defendants Are Entitled to Judgment on Mikkelsen’s Breach of
    Fiduciary Duty Claim Against C.C. Burgess for an Additional Reason
    Than the One Found by the Jury. .................................................................. 39
    A.       C.C. Burgess Owes No Fiduciary Duties to Mikkelsen Under
    Texas Law. .......................................................................................... 40
    B.       Alternatively, the Evidence Was Not Legally or Factually
    Sufficient to Show That C.C. Burgess Violated Any Purported
    Fiduciary Duties. ................................................................................. 42
    IV.      The $127,442 Fee Award Should Be Reversed. ........................................... 43
    A.       Because Mikkelsen Cannot Prevail on His Breach of Contract
    Claim, He Is Not Entitled to an Attorneys’ Fee Award. ..................... 43
    B.       Alternatively, if Mikkelsen Is Entitled to Some of His Fees, the
    $127,442 Award Cannot Stand Because It Is Unsupported and
    Because Mikkelsen Did Not Segregate His Attorneys’ Fees
    Properly. .............................................................................................. 44
    C.       Defendants Are Entitled to Their Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees
    Spent Pursuing Their Declaratory Judgment Claim. .......................... 47
    V.       To the Extent the Court Does Not Render Judgment in Favor of
    Defendants, a New Trial Also Is Warranted Because the Trial Court
    Impermissibly Commented on the Weight of the Evidence When It
    Instructed the Jury That Herring Bancorp Had Breached its Articles of
    Incorporation as a Matter of Law. ................................................................. 48

    STATEMENT OF THE CASE
    Nature of the Case This dispute raises the issue of whether Herring Bancorp, Inc.
    (“Herring Bancorp”), as part of its conversion into a
    Subchapter “S” Corporation, properly redeemed the small
    number of Herring Bancorp preferred shares that John
    Mikkelsen (and his brother, Mallory) inherited. This dispute
    also raises questions about (1) whether minority oppression is
    a valid cause of action following the Texas Supreme Court’s
    decision in Ritchie v. Rupe, 
    443 S.W.3d 856
    (Tex. 2014), and
    (2) whether C.C. Burgess, as an officer, director, and majority
    shareholder of Herring Bancorp, owed any fiduciary duties to
    Mikkelsen, as a minority shareholder.
    In 2011, the trial court granted Mikkelsen’s motion for partial
    summary judgment on his breach of contract claim, holding
    that the 2006 redemption of Mikkelsen’s shares was invalid.
    In light of that ruling, Defendants again redeemed
    Mikkelsen’s preferred shares in 2013 by giving him a tender
    (in the form of a cashier’s check) for more than he was owed
    under the Articles of Incorporation.
    In 2015, after a three-day jury trial, the trial court entered
    Final Judgment, which (1) held that Herring Bancorp
    breached its Articles of Incorporation in redeeming
    Mikkelsen’s preferred shares; (2) declared that the 2006
    redemption and subsequent 2013 redemption were void as to
    Mikkelsen and that Mikkelsen remains a preferred
    shareholder of Herring Bancorp with the right to inspect its
    books and records; and (3) held that C.C. Burgess and C.
    Campbell Burgess (“Burgess Defendants”) engaged in
    oppressive conduct toward Mikkelsen. The Final Judgment
    awarded Mikkelsen $23,112.00 in compensatory damages
    (representing the par value and unpaid dividends on his
    preferred shares from October 31, 2006 to December 31,
    2014), $5,222.25 in prejudgment interest, $127,442.00 in
    attorneys’ fees through trial, conditional appellate attorneys’
    fees, costs, and postjudgment interest. Ex. 1.

    STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
    Defendants respectfully request that the Court hold oral argument. This
    appeal presents an important question about the effect of Ritchie v. Rupe on
    minority-oppression claims. It also presents novel questions about whether a
    preferred shareholder can hold his shares in perpetuity—based on the allegation that
    a prior redemption was ineffective as to him—even though the Articles of
    Incorporation permit the Corporation to purchase and/or redeem preferred shares at
    any time and even though a shareholder is only entitled to receive the par value of his
    shares plus any unpaid dividends.
    Defendants believe that oral argument will aid the Court in understanding
    these complex issues and the factual record.
    xii
    ISSUES PRESENTED
    1.     In 2014, the Texas Supreme Court held that no common-law cause of
    action for minority oppression exists under Texas law. See Ritchie v. Rupe, 
    443 S.W.3d 856
    (Tex. 2014). In light of Ritchie, did the trial court err by not granting
    judgment as a matter of law in favor of Defendants on the minority oppression
    claims, and alternatively, does legally and/or factually sufficient evidence support
    the jury’s findings on Mikkelsen’s minority-oppression claims?
    2.     Did the trial court err by concluding, as a matter of law, that the 2006
    redemption violated the Articles of Incorporation as to Mikkelsen because it was not
    done “by lot, or pro rata” when undisputed evidence shows that all outstanding
    preferred shares were redeemed on November 20, 2006, meaning that the “by lot, or
    pro rata” language—which only applies to partial redemptions—is inapplicable?
    3.     Were Defendants entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the breach
    of contract claim relating to the 2006 redemption, or alternatively, did the trial court
    err in denying Defendants’ motion for a new trial on this claim?
    4.     Did the trial court err by holding, as a matter of law and/or fact, that the
    2013 redemption and tender were invalid when (a) there is no dispute that the
    Mikkelsens were the only remaining shareholders in 2013 (assuming the 2006
    redemption was invalid as to them), and (b) the tender more than covered any
    amounts due under the Articles of Incorporation?
    xiii
    5.     Were Defendants entitled to judgment as a matter of law on their
    declaratory judgment claim relating to the 2013 redemption and tender, or
    alternatively, did the trial court err in failing to submit these issues for the jury to
    decide, thus warranting a new trial?
    6.     The jury found “$0.00” damages proximately caused by any breach of
    fiduciary duty and denied relief on Mikkelsen’s breach of fiduciary duty claims.
    Given that officers, directors, and majority shareholders of a corporation do not owe
    fiduciary duties to other shareholders under Texas law, did the trial court further err
    by not granting judgment as a matter of law in favor of Defendants on the breach of
    fiduciary duty claims, and alternatively, does legally and/or factually sufficient
    evidence support the jury’s finding that C.C. Burgess breached his alleged fiduciary
    duties to Mikkelsen?
    7.     Can the fee awards be upheld on legal/factual sufficiency review where
    (a) the trial evidence showed that, to the extent Mikkelsen is entitled to any
    attorneys’ fees, they are limited to at most $39,545.87, (b) Mikkelsen failed to
    segregate his fees properly, and (c) the trial court did not ask the jury whether
    Defendants were entitled to attorneys’ fees based on their declaratory judgment
    claim?
    8.     Should this Court render a fee award in favor of Defendants based on
    their declaratory judgment claim because undisputed trial evidence showed that
    xiv
    Defendants incurred $5,500 in reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees pursuing
    that claim through trial plus $12,500 in conditional appellate fees? Alternatively,
    are Defendants entitled to a new trial on their request for attorneys’ fees?
    9.     Even though the trial focused on whether Herring Bancorp breached its
    Articles of Incorporation, the trial court instructed the jury that the 2006 redemption
    breached the Articles of Incorporation as a matter of law. Is this instruction an
    impermissible comment on the weight of the evidence that further requires a new
    trial to the extent there are any remaining fact issues for the trial court to resolve?

    STATEMENT OF FACTS
    I.    Mikkelsen’s Prior Involvement at Herring Bancorp.
    Herring National Bank became a chartered bank in 1903. 8RR 22:22-25.
    Mikkelsen became Chairman of Herring National Bank in 1982 and served in that
    position until 1997. 8RR 22:10-15. About ten years before Mikkelsen became
    Chairman, C.C. Burgess purchased stock in Herring National Bank and was elected
    to its Board shortly thereafter. 8RR 26:13-27:8. In 1984, Herring Bancorp, Inc.
    (“Herring Bancorp”), a bank holding company for Herring National Bank, was
    formed. 8RR 22:16-21. Mikkelsen served as Chairman of Herring Bancorp from its
    formation in 1984 until 1992. 8RR 27:21-24.
    In 1992, Herring Bancorp held a special shareholder meeting, and the Burgess
    Defendants were elected as directors, such that control of Herring Bancorp and
    Herring National Bank shifted away from Mikkelsen and in favor of the Burgess
    Defendants. See 8RR 33:7-22. Afterwards, Mikkelsen participated in a lawsuit
    against the Burgess Defendants. That lawsuit resulted in a settlement through which
    the Burgess Defendants purchased 10,000 Herring Bancorp shares from Mikkelsen
    and his family. 8RR 35:10-22. Mikkelsen then sold his remaining 280 Herring
    Bancorp shares in January 1998. 8RR 35:23-36:9. As of January 1998, Mikkelsen
    owned no shares in Herring Bancorp and “was completely out of the bank.” 8RR
    36:10-37:3.
    1
    In 2005, Mikkelsen and his brother, Mallory, inherited a total of 300 Herring
    Bancorp preferred shares from their late mother. 8RR 46:9-47:5. Of those 300
    shares, 150 shares were issued to the John Mikkelsen Trust and 150 shares were
    issued to Mallory Mikkelsen. 8RR 47:16-48:17; 12RR, PX-4; 12RR, PX-5.1
    II.    The 2006 Conversion and Redemption.
    The year after Mikkelsen inherited this small number of preferred shares from
    his late mother, Herring Bancorp decided to convert into a Subchapter “S”
    Corporation. See, e.g., 12RR, PX-34 at 3. As relevant here, a Subchapter “S”
    Corporation is different from a traditional corporation because a Subchapter “S”
    Corporation (1) can have only one class of stock, (2) cannot have more than 100
    shareholders, and (3) avoids double taxation of dividends. See 8RR 56:7-24,
    61:18-24; 9RR 29:24-30:5; 13RR, DX-10. Mikkelsen has never questioned the
    Herring Bancorp Board’s business judgment to convert into a Subchapter “S”
    Corporation, and testified during trial that being a Subchapter “S” Corporation
    offers a “better, more effective utilization of the income of the corporation.” 8RR
    56:23-24.
    1
    In 2008, after the 2006 redemption, Mallory Mikkelsen purportedly assigned his 150 shares to
    the John Mikkelsen Trust. See 8RR 48:21-49:23; 12RR, PX-6. This purported assignment was not
    effective (or otherwise is irrelevant) for at least three reasons. First, this assignment was not
    effective because it was not done in accordance with Herring Bancorp’s Bylaws regarding the
    transfer or assignment of shares. See infra Section II.B.2. Second, given that the 2006 redemption
    was valid, these shares no longer were Mallory Mikkelsen’s to assign in 2008. Third, because the
    2013 tender more than compensated both John and Mallory Mikkelsen for the value of their
    preferred shares, the tender was effective. See infra Section II.B.2.
    2
    Because Subchapter “S” Corporations are limited to 100 shareholders, the
    Herring Bancorp Board decided to implement neutral criteria to restrict which
    preferred shares could be converted into common stock so the number of
    shareholders would not exceed the maximum 100-shareholder cap. These criteria
    were implemented to ensure that Herring Bancorp would preserve its ability to
    attract new investment and shareholders in the future. See 9RR 29:10-30:5
    (testifying that the purpose of these criteria was to ensure that, as the Bank grew, it
    would be able to attract new shareholders without sacrificing its Subchapter “S”
    status). The two neutral criteria selected by the Herring Bancorp Board were that the
    preferred shareholder: (1) had a banking relationship with Herring Bank; and (2)
    would own at least 50 shares of common stock in the Subchapter “S” Corporation
    after the conversion.2 Ex. 6 at 1. If preferred shareholders met these two criteria,
    they had the opportunity to exchange their preferred shares for common stock in the
    new Subchapter “S” Corporation. 
    Id. If preferred
    shareholders did not satisfy these
    criteria, their shares were redeemed on November 20, 2006. 
    Id. All preferred
    shareholders were given notice of these criteria and notice of both the conversion
    and redemption deadlines on October 31, 2006. Ex. 6; 13RR, DX-20.
    2
    The conversion ratio for converting preferred shares into common stock was approximately 7.8
    to 1, meaning that a preferred shareholder was required to have about 390 preferred shares to be
    eligible to convert those shares into common stock. See 8RR 65:23-66:22. As noted, Mikkelsen
    only inherited 150 preferred shares, as did his brother. Mikkelsen and his brother thus did not
    satisfy the 50-share criterion for conversion.
    3
    Between the October 31, 2006 notice and the November 20, 2006 redemption,
    preferred shareholders that met the criteria and wanted to convert their preferred
    shares into common stock had to make that election. See 13RR, DX-20 at 3 (“If you
    elect to exchange your shares of Preferred Stock of the Company, please return an
    executed copy of the Stock Exchange Agreement as soon as possible, but no later
    than 5:00 p.m. on November 20, 2006.”) (emphasis omitted). No shareholder (other
    than Mikkelsen) complained about this process, and all preferred shares not
    exchanged for common stock (i.e., all outstanding preferred shares as of November
    20, 2006) were redeemed on that date. 
    Id. at 3-4.
    On November 20, 2006, Herring Bancorp redeemed Mikkelsen’s preferred
    shares by placing sufficient funds to cover the par value of his shares and any unpaid
    dividends in an escrow/deposit account in Mikkelsen’s name.3 13RR, DX-26 at 2.
    On July 30, 2007, Herring Bancorp’s status as a Subchapter “S” Corporation was
    accepted by the IRS. Ex. 7.
    III.   The 2013 Redemption and Tender.
    Mikkelsen claimed that the 2006 redemption was invalid and that he
    continued to be a preferred shareholder in Herring Bancorp. See 13RR, DX-26 at 1.
    3
    This same procedure was followed for Mallory Mikkelsen and any other preferred shareholders
    who elected not to convert their preferred shares into common stock.
    4
    Specifically, Mikkelsen asserted that, even though Herring Bancorp’s Articles of
    Incorporation allow the Corporation to redeem and/or repurchase preferred shares at
    any time, see Ex. 5, art. IV, XII, the redemption was invalid because it was not done
    “by lot, or pro rata,” Ex. 5, art. IV(c). Because only partial redemptions are subject to
    the “by lot, or pro rata” restriction, Mikkelsen’s argument necessarily (and
    incorrectly) assumes that the 2006 redemption was a partial redemption. Ex. 5, art.
    IV(c). Mikkelsen ignores that, on November 20, 2006, Herring Bancorp completed a
    “whole” redemption because it redeemed all outstanding preferred shares on that
    date. 
    See supra
    Facts Section II.
    Ultimately, Mikkelsen filed this lawsuit in 2008, alleging a breach of contract
    claim, tort claims for breach of fiduciary duty, minority oppression, and conspiracy,
    and a demand to inspect Herring Bancorp’s books and records. 1CR5-13. In 2011,
    the trial court—apparently accepting Mikkelsen’s incorrect argument about the
    2006 redemption being a “partial” redemption—granted Mikkelsen’s partial
    summary judgment motion, finding that the 2006 redemption as to Mikkelsen was
    invalid as a matter of law. Ex. 4.
    After that ruling, Defendants sought to remove any doubt about Mikkelsen’s
    purported ownership of Herring Bancorp’s preferred stock, especially considering
    that a Subchapter “S” Corporation can have only one type of outstanding stock. See
    1CR344 (“The Herring Board’s decision to redeem the Preferred Stock in 2013 was
    5
    consistent with the Board’s decision in 2006 but also sought to correct any issues
    that led to this Court’s August 4, 2011 Order on partial summary judgment, and pay
    the Mikkelsens everything they could be owed.”). Accordingly, in 2013, Defendants
    sent the Mikkelsens a tender—in the form of a cashier’s check—for $115,548.24, an
    amount greater than the Mikkelsens were owed under Herring Bancorp’s Articles of
    Incorporation. Compare Ex. 9 (unconditional tender included $28,500 for
    redeeming 300 shares at $95 per share (par value), $21,070.48 in unpaid dividends,
    $15,977.76 in interest, and $50,000 in attorneys’ fees), with Ex. 5, art. IV (stating
    that a preferred shareholder is only entitled to the $95 par value per share plus
    dividends).
    Despite receiving a larger payment than he was entitled to under the Articles
    of Incorporation, Mikkelsen pressed forward with this lawsuit and never cashed the
    cashier’s check. See 8RR 137:4-5. And while Mikkelsen claimed that the 2006
    redemption was invalid because it was a partial redemption that was not done “by
    lot, or pro rata,” Mikkelsen concedes that, when the 2013 redemption took place, the
    Mikkelsens were the only preferred shareholders of Herring Bancorp. See 8RR
    151:2-5 (“So after the 2006 adventure that you and Herring Bank had, you and
    Mallory [Mikkelsen] were the only shareholders of preferred stock, right? A. Yes.”);
    see also infra Section II.B.1. The 2013 redemption thus was a “whole” redemption
    not subject to the “by lot, or pro rata” requirement, which means that—even
    6
    assuming that the 2006 redemption was invalid—the 2013 redemption complied
    with the Articles of Incorporation and redeemed Mikkelsen’s preferred shares such
    that he no longer is a preferred shareholder in Herring Bancorp.
    IV.   Pre-Trial Proceedings/Partial Summary Judgment for Mikkelsen.
    As noted, Mikkelsen originally filed this action in 2008, claiming that the
    2006 redemption breached his contractual rights under the Articles of Incorporation
    and constituted (1) a breach of the Burgess Defendants’ fiduciary duties, (2)
    minority oppression, and (3) a civil conspiracy. 1CR5-13. In March 2011,
    Mikkelsen moved for partial summary judgment as to whether the 2006 redemption
    was valid. 1CR58-103. Defendants responded to that motion and filed a
    cross-motion for partial summary judgment on all of Mikkelsen’s claims.
    1CR105-45. On August 4, 2011, the trial court granted Mikkelsen’s motion for
    partial summary judgment and denied Defendants’ cross-motion. Ex. 4. In deciding
    the cross-motions for summary judgment, the trial court found as a matter of law that
    the 2006 redemption was invalid as to Mikkelsen and that Mikkelsen continued to be
    a preferred shareholder in Herring Bancorp. 1CR307.
    In December 2013, after Herring Bancorp had undertaken the 2013
    redemption and tendered to Mikkelsen more than he was owed under the Articles of
    Incorporation, 
    see supra
    Facts Section III, Defendants filed their Original
    Counterclaim, seeking a declaratory judgment that the 2013 redemption was valid,
    7
    1CR389-92. Defendants also filed a second traditional motion for partial summary
    judgment on their newly asserted counterclaim, 1CR338-81, as well as a
    no-evidence summary judgment motion on causation and damages, 1CR382-85.
    The Court denied both of Defendants’ summary judgment motions on August 1,
    2014. 1CR432-35.
    In September 2014, Defendants filed their third traditional motion for partial
    summary judgment. 2Supp.CR3-8. This motion was based largely on the Texas
    Supreme Court’s decision in Ritchie v. Rupe, and sought summary judgment on
    Mikkelsen’s minority oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, and conspiracy tort
    claims. The trial court denied that motion on December 23, 2014. 2CR148-49.
    Finally, less than two weeks before trial began in January 2015, Mikkelsen
    added a cross-declaratory judgment claim related to the validity of the 2013
    redemption and tender. 2CR158.
    V.    The Trial.
    The case was tried to a jury beginning on January 26, 2015. During three days
    of testimony, the jury heard argument and evidence about whether the 2006 and
    2013 redemptions were valid. See, e.g., 8RR 151:15-22; 8RR 156:21-157:2; 10RR
    37:1-25. Indeed, Mikkelsen’s counsel began his opening and closing statements by
    claiming that “this case is about the breach of a covenant” in the Articles of
    8
    Incorporation and by asserting that “the evidence” showed that a covenant had been
    breached. 7RR 16:12-14; 11RR 32:23-33:17.
    But when the jury received its instructions, instead of being asked to decide
    whether the redemptions were valid, the trial court: (1) instructed the jury that it
    “previously determined, as a matter of law, that Defendant Herring failed to comply
    with the Articles of Incorporation . . . when it purported to involuntarily redeem
    Mikkelsen’s preferred shares in 2006”; and (2) did not ask the jury to decide whether
    the 2013 redemption was valid. See Ex. 2. Thus, even though Mikkelsen’s attorney
    had previewed the case as being “about the breach of a covenant” and asserted that
    “the evidence” showed that such a breach occurred, the only question the jury was
    instructed to answer related to Mikkelsen’s breach of contract claim was the amount
    of attorneys’ fees associated with that claim. Ex. 2 at 8-9. The only other questions
    the jury was instructed to answer related to Mikkelsen’s tort claims. See Ex. 2 at
    10-30.
    Ultimately, the jury awarded Mikkelsen $23,314.80 in compensatory
    damages based on its findings that the Burgess Defendants engaged in oppressive
    conduct, and it awarded Mikkelsen $127,442.00 in attorneys’ fees through trial plus
    $50,000.00 in conditional appellate fees based on Mikkelsen’s breach of contract
    claim that had been determined as a matter of law almost four years earlier. See Ex. 2
    at 8-12.
    9
    VI.   The Final Judgment and Post-Judgment Proceedings.
    After the jury verdict, Defendants filed a Motion for Judgment
    Notwithstanding the Verdict, Motion to Disregard Jury Findings, and Conditional
    Motion for Judgment. 2CR268-91. Mikkelsen then filed a Motion for Judgment, and
    the trial court heard argument on those motions on April 27, 2015. 2CR292-332.
    On May 14, 2015, the trial court granted Mikkelsen’s Motion for Judgment in
    all respects, except that it slightly adjusted the damages award given that a portion of
    the calculated unpaid dividend amount was “not yet due.” 2CR333. The trial court
    entered Final Judgment on June 16, 2015. Ex. 1.
    On July 16, 2015, Defendants timely filed: (1) an Additional Motion for
    Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, see 2CR344-52, and (2) a Motion for New
    Trial, for Remittitur, and to Modify, Correct, and/or Reform the Judgment, see
    2CR353-407. The Court denied these motions, as well as Defendants’ previously
    filed Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, by Orders signed on August
    19, 2015 after hearing argument. Ex. 3.
    Defendants timely filed a Joint Notice of Appeal on September 3, 2015.
    2CR411-61. Mikkelsen timely filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal on September 17,
    2015. See 2CR468-517.
    10
    SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
    This lawsuit is the most recent instance where Mikkelsen has attempted to use
    his purported shareholder status in Herring Bancorp to extract money and other
    concessions from the Burgess Defendants. Mikkelsen sold his interest in Herring
    Bancorp to the Burgess Defendants almost 20 years ago and only became involved
    with Herring Bancorp again by inheriting a handful of shares from his late mother.
    Through this lawsuit, Mikkelsen is attempting to use his purported shareholder
    status to call into question Herring Bancorp’s Subchapter “S” Corporation status and
    otherwise to disrupt the Burgess Defendants’ ability to run the Corporation
    efficiently. The Court should reject Mikkelsen’s thinly veiled efforts because
    Herring Bancorp validly redeemed Mikkelsen’s shares in 2006 (and again in 20134),
    and because Mikkelsen’s tort claims are based on invalid legal theories. Moreover,
    Mikkelsen’s claim that he is entitled to hold preferred shares in Herring Bancorp in
    perpetuity is wrong because Mikkelsen only is entitled to the par value of his
    preferred shares plus any unpaid dividends, which he already received both in 2006
    and 2013.
    All of Mikkelsen’s tort claims should have been dismissed before trial as a
    matter of law, and the trial court misapprehended binding precedent in allowing
    4
    Out of an abundance of caution, Defendants redeemed Mikkelsen’s shares again in 2013 because
    the trial court held, incorrectly, that the 2006 redemption was invalid as to Mikkelsen as a matter of
    law. 
    See supra

    Mikkelsen’s minority oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, and conspiracy claims to
    reach the jury. Texas does not recognize a common-law cause of action for minority
    oppression. Moreover, corporate officers/directors only owe fiduciary duties to the
    corporation itself, and majority shareholders do not owe fiduciary duties to minority
    shareholders.5 The trial court should have dismissed these claims and, if it had done
    so, the only claims left for the jury would have been the cross-declaratory judgment
    claims regarding the 2013 redemption.6 See 1CR390; 2CR158.
    On the breach of contract and declaratory judgment claims, under Herring
    Bancorp’s Articles of Incorporation, Herring Bancorp had the absolute right to
    redeem all of its preferred shares at any time, and it also had the absolute right to
    purchase its shares “without submitting such purchase to a vote of the shareholders
    of the Corporation.” Ex. 5, art. IV, XII. On two occasions—first in 2006 and then in
    2013—Herring Bancorp redeemed all outstanding preferred shares, including
    Mikkelsen’s, and both of these redemptions complied with the Articles of
    Incorporation. The trial court held, however, that the 2006 redemption was invalid as
    to Mikkelsen and—while it denied Defendants’ summary judgment motion on the
    5
    The jury found that C.C. Burgess breached his alleged fiduciary duties to Mikkelsen, but
    awarded no damages. Ex. 2 at 17, 19-22. The Final Judgment addresses this claim only by denying
    Mikkelsen relief in the “Mother Hubbard” clause. Ex. 1.
    6
    If the substantive tort claims had been dismissed before trial, the derivative conspiracy claim
    necessarily would have been dismissed as well. See Tilton v. Marshall, 
    925 S.W.2d 672
    , 681 (Tex.
    1996).
    12
    validity of the 2013 redemption and tender—it refused to ask the jury about that
    redemption and tender. Ex. 10; 11RR 16:20-17:8. Rather, the trial court held, as a
    matter of law and/or fact, that the 2013 redemption and tender were also invalid. Ex.
    1 at 2. The trial court should have determined that the 2006 redemption was valid, or
    alternatively, that the 2013 redemption was valid. At the very least, it should have
    submitted these questions to the jury.
    All of Mikkelsen’s claims should have been decided as a matter of law in
    Defendants’ favor. The 2006 redemption was valid, and all of Mikkelsen’s tort
    claims fail as a matter of law. Alternatively, to the extent the 2006 redemption was
    invalid as to Mikkelsen, the trial court should have held, as a matter of law, that the
    2013 redemption and tender were valid and that they compensated Mikkelsen for all
    amounts owed under the Articles of Incorporation. While all of these claims should
    have been decided as a matter of law, the trial court’s failure to follow binding
    precedent led to a confusing trial where evidence relating to Mikkelsen’s breach of
    contract claim (which the trial court already had decided, albeit wrongly) was
    presented, giving the jury the false impression that it would decide that disputed
    issue. Then, in instructing the jury, the trial court committed reversible error by
    commenting on the weight of the evidence and telling the jury that it already had
    decided that Defendants breached Herring Bancorp’s Articles of Incorporation in
    13
    2006. This improper instruction was prejudicial and also requires a new trial to the
    extent the Court does not render judgment in favor of Defendants.
    To the extent the Court does not reverse the trial court’s finding on the 2006
    redemption, it must reverse the attorneys’ fee award and remand for a new trial on
    attorneys’ fees. If the Court reverses the trial court’s holding on the 2013 redemption
    and renders judgment for Defendants on that claim, the Court should also render
    judgment on Defendants’ claim for attorneys’ fees or at least grant a new trial on
    Defendants’ fee request.
    Finally, if the Final Judgment is reversed, the awards of interest and costs in
    favor of Mikkelsen should be reversed as well.
    STANDARDS OF REVIEW
    Texas appellate courts review questions of law de novo, “exercis[ing] [their]
    own judgment and redetermin[ing] each issue,” while affording the lower courts’
    decisions “absolutely no deference.” Quick v. City of Austin, 
    7 S.W.3d 109
    , 116
    (Tex. 1998). When reviewing questions of law, an appellate court independently
    evaluates the trial court’s conclusions of law to determine whether the trial court
    drew the correct legal conclusions from the facts. See Arcadia Fin., Ltd. v. Sw.-Tex.
    Leasing Co., 
    78 S.W.3d 619
    , 623 (Tex. App.—Austin 2002, pet. denied); see also
    Holland v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 
    1 S.W.3d 91
    , 94 (Tex. 1999).
    14
    Appellate courts must sustain legal sufficiency challenges when the record
    shows one of the following: (1) a complete absence of evidence of a vital fact; (2)
    that rules of law or evidence bar the court from giving weight to the only evidence
    offered to prove a vital fact; (3) that the evidence offered to prove a vital fact is no
    more than a scintilla; or (4) that the evidence establishes conclusively the opposite of
    the vital fact. City of Keller v. Wilson, 
    168 S.W.3d 802
    , 810 (Tex. 2005). For factual
    sufficiency challenges, appellate courts must examine, consider, and weigh all of the
    evidence that supports or contradicts the jury’s determinations, and set aside the
    verdict if the evidence is so weak or the finding is so against the great weight and
    preponderance of the evidence that it is clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. See Dow
    Chem. Co. v. Francis, 
    46 S.W.3d 237
    , 242 (Tex. 2001); Pool v. Ford Motor Co., 
    715 S.W.2d 629
    , 635 (Tex. 1986).
    An award of attorneys’ fees generally is reviewed for an abuse of discretion,
    while the amount of such an award also is reviewable for legal and factual
    sufficiency. See Bocquet v. Herring, 
    972 S.W.2d 19
    , 20-21 (Tex. 1998); Hagedorn
    v. Tisdale,

    arbitrarily or unreasonably, without reference to guiding rules or principles.”)
    (citations omitted). The need to segregate fees is a question of law, while the extent
    to which certain claims can or cannot be segregated is a mixed question of law and

    ARGUMENT
    I.    Defendants   Are    Entitled               to   Judgment   on     Mikkelsen’s
    Minority-Oppression Claims.
    Clear error underlies the trial court’s Final Judgment in favor of Mikkelsen on
    the minority-oppression claims. Minority oppression does not exist as a
    common-law cause of action in Texas, and the Texas Supreme Court recently
    clarified that this cause of action never existed. See Ritchie v. Rupe, 
    443 S.W.3d 856
    (Tex. 2014). Instead of submitting questions on minority oppression to the jury and
    entering judgment for Mikkelsen on its findings, the trial court was required to
    dismiss these claims as a matter of law.
    16
    A.     Ritchie v. Rupe Held That Minority Oppression Is Not a Viable Cause
    of Action Under Texas Law.
    For decades, Texas intermediate appellate courts recognized a common-law
    cause of action known as minority shareholder oppression. See, e.g., Davis v.
    Sheerin, 
    754 S.W.2d 375
    (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1988, writ denied),
    overruled by Ritchie, 
    443 S.W.3d 856
    . The Texas Supreme Court, however, never
    recognized that common-law cause of action and, more than a year ago, it explicitly
    held that no such cause of action exists in Texas. See 
    Ritchie, 443 S.W.3d at 860
    (“Moving beyond the statutory claims, we decline to recognize or create a Texas
    common-law cause of action for ‘minority shareholder oppression.’”); see 
    id. at 877-91
    (outlining the Court’s reasoning and concluding that “[w]e . . . therefore
    decline to recognize a common-law cause of action for ‘shareholder oppression’”);
    
    id. at 904-05
    (Guzman, J., dissenting) (“[T]he Court acknowledges that its . . . failure
    to impose a common-law remedy for oppression leaves a ‘gap’ in the protection that
    the law affords to individual minority shareholders when the harm to the minority
    shareholders does not harm the corporation.” (citation omitted)). The Texas
    Supreme Court also has made clear that Ritchie applies retroactively to
    minority-oppression claims pleaded or decided prior to Ritchie. See, e.g., Cardiac
    Perfusion Servs., Inc. v. Hughes, 
    436 S.W.3d 790
    , 792 (Tex. 2014) (applying
    Ritchie’s holding to a minority-oppression claim decided before Ritchie was
    decided).
    17
    B.     The Trial Court Erred in Concluding That the Relevant Holding in
    Ritchie v. Rupe Was Dicta.
    Defendants brought the Ritchie decision to the trial court’s attention and filed
    a summary judgment motion asserting that Ritchie was “fatal” to Mikkelsen’s
    minority-oppression claim and other tort claims. See 2Supp.CR3. In response to that
    motion, Mikkelsen argued that one of Ritchie’s holdings—i.e., that Texas did not
    recognize a common-law cause of action for minority oppression—was dicta.
    2CR118-20 (asserting that “[t]he discussion in Ritchie of common law oppression
    claims is dictum and not binding”); see also 5RR 36:18-19 (“On the oppression issue
    this Ritchie case is not binding on anybody because it is dicta.”). The trial
    court—despite the unmistakable language in Ritchie, 
    see supra
    Section
    I.A.—allowed the minority-oppression claims against the Burgess Defendants to go
    to the jury. See Ex. 2 at 10-16.
    The trial court’s decision was error. It cannot be squared with the plain
    language in Ritchie, and it runs counter to every single Texas appellate court that
    has considered the vitality of common-law minority-oppression claims since
    Ritchie. See, e.g., Cardiac Perfusion 
    Servs., 436 S.W.3d at 792
    (“In Ritchie, we
    clarified that a claim for shareholder oppression is only available under section
    11.404 of the Texas Business Organizations Code, and that the only remedy
    available under that statute is a rehabilitative receivership.”); Tex. Ear Nose &
    Throat Consultants, PLLC v. Jones, --- S.W.3d ----, 
    2015 WL 3918130
    , at *16 (Tex.
    18
    App.—Houston [14th Dist.] June 25, 2015, no pet.) (noting that Ritchie was a “sea
    change” and that, “[i]n Ritchie, the Texas Supreme Court held that there is no
    common law cause of action for shareholder oppression”); White Point Minerals,
    Inc. v. Swantner, 
    464 S.W.3d 884
    , 890 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2015, no pet.)
    (noting that Ritchie “held that Texas does not recognize a common law action for
    minority shareholder oppression”); Cent. Austin Apartments, LLC v. UP Austin
    Holdings, LP, No. 03-13-00080-CV (Tex. App.—Austin Dec. 8, 2014) (op.
    withdrawn on Feb. 6, 2015 based on settlement of parties) (Ex. 11 at 25-26) (holding
    that, “[i]n Ritchie v. Rupe, the Texas Supreme Court . . . held that there is no
    common law cause of action for minority oppression in Texas,” and rendering
    judgment in favor of defendants on the minority-oppression claim). In addition to
    these state-law authorities, the Fifth Circuit, applying Texas law, has concluded that
    Ritchie’s statements on common-law minority-oppression claims were binding and
    more than mere dicta. See In re Mandel, 578 F. App’x 376, 387 (5th Cir. 2014)
    (“[T]he Supreme Court of Texas held that there is no common law cause of action
    for shareholder oppression.”) (emphasis added).7
    7
    In addition to this undisputed appellate authority, Mikkelsen’s argument that the relevant
    language in Ritchie is nothing more than dicta is contradicted by scholars and commentators. See,
    e.g., Lyndon Bittle & Kelli Hinson, Texas Turns a Corner: Resolving Shareholder Disputes in
    Closely Held Businesses After Ritchie v. Rupe, 67 BAYLOR L. REV. 339, 383 (2015) (“Based on
    [the Supreme Court’s] consideration of [factors], [it] determined it would not ‘recognize a
    common-law cause of action for ‘shareholder oppression.’’”) (quoting 
    Ritchie, 443 S.W.3d at 891
    ); Todd A. Murray, The Texas Courts’ Ongoing Struggle to Harmonize the Texas Business
    Organizations Code with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure in Derivative Shareholder Litigation,
    19
    Defendants are not aware of any case law that either supports Mikkelsen’s
    reading of Ritchie or stands for the proposition that a common-law claim for
    minority oppression remains viable in Texas. The Final Judgment must be reversed
    insofar as it holds the Burgess Defendants liable based on a cause of action that does
    not exist, and judgment must be rendered in favor of the Burgess Defendants on the
    minority-oppression claims.
    C.     Alternatively, the Evidence at Trial Was Not Legally or Factually
    Sufficient to Constitute Minority Oppression.
    Because common-law minority oppression is not a valid cause of action in
    Texas, Defendants only briefly address why the alleged evidence of minority
    oppression at trial was not legally or factually sufficient to sustain the jury’s findings
    even under the now-defunct test for minority oppression. Under the trial court’s
    instructions on minority oppression, Mikkelsen was required to show that the
    majority member’s conduct constituted:
    burdensome, harsh, or wrongful conduct; a lack of probity and fair
    dealing in the company’s affairs to the prejudice of some members; or a
    visible departure from the standards of fair dealing and a violation of
    fair play on which each shareholder is entitled to rely.
    47 TEX. TECH L. REV. 245, 261 (2015) (noting that Ritchie “foreclosed” a common-law remedy for
    shareholder oppression). Even commentators who disagree with Ritchie acknowledge that, in that
    case, the Texas Supreme Court held that no common-law cause of action for minority oppression
    exists under Texas law. James Dawson, Ritchie v. Rupe and the Future of Shareholder
    Oppression, 124 YALE L.J. FORUM 89, 90, 92 (2014) (stating that Ritchie “gutted the cause of
    action for shareholder oppression in Texas” and that, “[u]nder Ritchie, majority shareholders are
    not liable for oppression unless their conduct is irrational and harmful to the corporation”).
    20
    Ex. 2 at 10-11; see also 
    Davis, 754 S.W.2d at 381-82
    . Mikkelsen failed to present
    sufficient evidence to satisfy this “definition” of minority oppression.
    The Herring Bancorp Board’s decision to institute two neutral criteria for
    determining which preferred shares could be converted into common stock did not
    constitute “burdensome,” “harsh,” or “wrongful” conduct. In fact, the evidence at
    trial demonstrated that this decision was based on the Herring Bancorp Board’s
    business judgment and was made to ensure that Herring Bancorp would remain a
    Subchapter “S” Corporation. See 9RR 29:10-30:5 (testifying that the purpose of
    implementing the two criteria was to ensure that, as the Bank grew, it would be able
    to attract new shareholders without sacrificing its Subchapter “S” status). Such
    conduct does not constitute minority oppression, especially considering that both the
    2006 and 2013 redemptions complied with the Articles of Incorporation. See infra
    Sections II.A.-B.; Guerra v. Guerra, No. 04-10-00271-CV, 
    2011 WL 3715051
    , at
    *6-7 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, no pet.) (noting that conduct is not wrongful
    when the defendant has followed corporate procedure and exercised business
    judgment); see also Tex. Beef Cattle Co. v. Green, 
    921 S.W.2d 203
    , 211 (Tex. 1996)
    (“Whatever a man has a legal right to do, he may do with impunity, regardless of
    motive, and if in exercising his legal right in a legal way damage results to another,
    no cause of action arises against him because of a bad motive in exercising the
    right.”) (citation omitted).
    21
    Further, there was no legally or factually sufficient evidence of damages “that
    proximately resulted” from any minority oppression. Ex. 2 at 12. As explained
    below, see infra Sections II.C.-D., Mikkelsen has received everything that he was
    entitled to under the Articles of Incorporation, and thus any alleged minority
    oppression did not harm him.
    In sum, common-law minority oppression is not a valid cause of action in
    Texas but, even if it were, Mikkelsen failed to present legally or factually sufficient
    evidence at trial to support a finding of minority oppression by either of the Burgess
    Defendants here. The Final Judgment should be reversed and judgment should be
    rendered in favor of Defendants on Mikkelsen’s minority-oppression claims.
    Alternatively, to the extent the Court finds that a fact issue prevents the rendition of
    judgment in Defendants’ favor, a new trial is warranted on the minority oppression
    claims.
    II.   Mikkelsen Cannot Recover on His Breach of Contract Claim or on His
    Declaratory Judgment Claim, and Defendants Should Prevail on Their
    Declaratory Judgment Claim.
    A.     The 2006 Redemption Was Valid.
    Mikkelsen does not contest that Herring Bancorp had the right to redeem his
    preferred shares; he only attacks the procedure Herring Bancorp used. According to
    Mikkelsen, the 2006 redemption was invalid because only some of the preferred
    shares were redeemed, and thus, under the Articles of Incorporation, that redemption
    22
    had to be done “by lot, or pro rata.” Ex. 5, art. IV(c). Mikkelsen, like the trial court,
    misunderstands the structure of the 2006 redemption.
    Under the Articles of Incorporation, there is no restriction on Herring
    Bancorp’s ability to redeem all outstanding preferred shares, except that it must pay
    preferred shareholders the par value and accrued dividends associated with their
    preferred shares. Ex. 5, art. IV. The record shows that Mikkelsen’s (and his
    brother’s) preferred shares were redeemed on November 20, 2006, and that this
    redemption covered all outstanding preferred shares. See 9RR 214:10-20 (“[A]s of
    5:01 p.m. [on November 20, 2006], John Mikkelsen and Mallory Mikkelsen, they
    were the only ones that had preferred stock because all the others had elected to
    convert. A. Yes.”). All other preferred shares had been converted into common stock
    in the new Subchapter “S” Corporation prior to the redemption. Mikkelsen cannot
    cite a provision in the Articles of Incorporation restricting Herring Bancorp’s ability
    to convert preferred shares into common stock and, because the 2006 redemption
    involved “the whole . . . of the preferred shares outstanding,” that redemption was
    not required to be done “by lot, or pro rata.” Ex. 5, art. IV(c).
    Despite the fact that Herring Bancorp followed the Articles of Incorporation
    in conducting the 2006 redemption, Mikkelsen convinced the trial court that all of
    the preferred shares were not redeemed because the 2006 conversion of preferred
    23
    shares into common stock constituted a partial redemption. Mikkelsen’s argument is
    wrong.
    There is no provision in the Articles of Incorporation addressing the
    conversion of preferred shares, restricting Herring Bancorp’s ability to convert some
    or all of its shares, or outlining the criteria that must be used in making such a
    conversion. In fact, the provision most closely related to converting shares is Article
    XII, which allows Herring Bancorp “to purchase, directly or indirectly, its own
    shares . . . without submitting such purchase to a vote of the shareholders of the
    Corporation.” Ex. 5, art. XII (emphasis added). The language in Article XII suggests
    no restriction on Herring Bancorp’s ability to “indirectly” purchase its own stock,8
    and Mikkelsen cannot point to any such restriction. Once the other shares were
    converted, Herring Bancorp redeemed all outstanding shares in accordance with
    Article IV.
    Mikkelsen’s argument boils down to the insupportable assertion that he was
    entitled to convert his preferred shares into common stock. See 8RR 163:16-23 (“Q.
    Okay. So, you’re not complaining about what happened to anybody else [during the
    2006 redemption], are you? A. No. Q. Only what happened to yours and Mallory’s?
    A. Yes. Q. And the only complaint is that you wanted common stock. A. Yes.”). But,
    8
    Mikkelsen’s attempt to treat the conversion as a redemption is misguided. See Rauch v. RCA
    Corp., 
    861 F.2d 29
    , 30-32 (2d Cir. 1988) (holding that a conversion of shares as part of a corporate
    restructuring is legally distinct from a redemption).
    24
    as noted, the Articles of Incorporation gave Mikkelsen no such right. Accordingly,
    the Herring Bancorp Board was permitted to allow preferred shareholders that met
    certain criteria to convert their preferred shares into common stock in the new
    Subchapter “S” Corporation, while not providing that right to every preferred
    shareholder. In fact, the Articles of Incorporation explicitly provide that Mikkelsen,
    as a preferred shareholder, has no preferential right to purchase stock. See Ex. 5, art.
    V. Mikkelsen thus fails to show how the Board’s actions breached the Articles of
    Incorporation.9
    Because Herring Bancorp redeemed every outstanding preferred share on
    November 20, 2006, the 2006 redemption complied with the Articles of
    Incorporation. There is no restriction on Herring Bancorp’s ability to convert its
    preferred shares, and it is permitted to purchase those shares (directly or indirectly)
    at any time and for any reason. Mikkelsen’s attempt to turn a conversion of shares
    into a redemption of shares is without merit. The Final Judgment should be reversed
    on this issue, and this Court should render judgment in favor of Defendants.
    Alternatively, to the extent the Court finds that a fact issue prevents the rendition of
    9
    Mikkelsen’s argument about the 2006 redemption also elevates form over substance. Herring
    Bancorp could have redeemed all of its preferred shares before any conversion, and then allowed
    certain former preferred shareholders to purchase common stock in the new Subchapter “S”
    Corporation. If Herring Bancorp had proceeded in that manner, Mikkelsen’s contract claim would
    be baseless. While Herring Bancorp ultimately chose to convert certain preferred shareholders
    before the November 2006 redemption simply “to save time,” the record is clear that Herring
    Bancorp “just as easily [could have] paid everybody out and then had them buy the [common]
    stock, had they wanted to . . . .” 9RR 215:5-12.
    25
    judgment in Defendants’ favor, a new trial is warranted so a jury can decide whether
    Defendants’ actions complied with the Articles of Incorporation.
    B.     Defendants Are Entitled to Prevail on Their Declaratory Judgment
    Claim Because the 2013 Redemption and Tender Were Valid.
    The 2006 redemption was valid and complied with the Articles of
    Incorporation. 
    See supra
    Section II.A. But, to the extent the Court disagrees, it
    should hold that the 2013 redemption and tender were valid, that Defendants prevail
    on their declaratory judgment claim, and that Mikkelsen is not entitled to any
    additional damages or attorneys’ fees.
    The trial court denied Defendants’ summary judgment motion on their
    declaratory judgment claim about the validity of the 2013 redemption and tender,
    1CR434-35, and denied Defendants’ motions for directed verdict on that claim,
    10RR 76:12-77:22, 85:8-10; 239:3-240:18, 245:19:24. The trial court appears to
    have granted a directed verdict in favor of Mikkelsen on this claim, 11RR
    16:20-17:8; 2CR294, but the record reveals no motion or request by Mikkelsen for
    any such relief and no order or ruling during trial granting any such ruling. The trial
    court also denied Defendants’ relevant post-judgment motions on this claim. Ex. 3.
    In any event, the trial court took this issue away from the jury, and refused to include
    Defendants’ requested instructions and questions on this claim in the jury charge.
    This error warrants a new trial should the Court not render judgment in favor of
    Defendants about the validity of the 2013 redemption and tender.
    26
    1.     The 2013 Redemption Was Valid.
    Mikkelsen made several admissions at trial that demonstrate the validity and
    effectiveness of the 2013 redemption:
     Mikkelsen admitted that he and his brother were the only preferred
    shareholders in Herring Bancorp when the (alternative) 2013
    redemption took place. See 8RR 151:2-5 (“So after the 2006 adventure
    that you and Herring Bank had, you and Mallory [Mikkelsen] were the
    only shareholders of preferred stock, right? A. Yes.”).10
     Mikkelsen admitted that Herring Bancorp had the right to redeem his
    shares in November 2013 if he was the only shareholder (or if he and
    his brother were shareholders and they both were redeemed). See 8RR
    171:2-4 (“Q. If you were the only shareholder, [Herring Bancorp] had
    the right to redeem you, correct? A. If I was the only shareholder.”).
        Mikkelsen admitted that he is entitled to receive only money for his
    preferred shares under the Articles of Incorporation. See 8RR 171:9-12.
    In addition to these admissions, there is no dispute that Mikkelsen was given
    proper notice of the 2013 redemption. Ex. 8. And there is no dispute that the 2013
    tender that accompanied the redemption more than covered the amounts owed to
    10
    After testifying to this point, Mikkelsen attempted to walk back his admission based on his
    argument that the conversion of other preferred shareholders was somehow ineffective. 8RR
    27
    Mikkelsen under the Articles of Incorporation. See Ex. 9 (unconditional tender
    included $28,500 for redeeming 300 shares at $95 per share (par value), $21,070.48
    in unpaid dividends, $15,977.76 in interest, and $50,000 in attorneys’ fees). So, even
    if the 2006 redemption was invalid, the 2013 redemption and tender made
    Mikkelsen whole. See infra Section IV (demonstrating that maximum amount of
    recoverable attorneys’ fees is less than $40,000, and thus less than the amount
    provided for in the 2013 tender).
    In attempting to convince the trial court that the 2013 redemption was invalid,
    Mikkelsen made erroneous arguments that this Court should reject.
    First, Mikkelsen argued at the hearing on Defendants’ post-judgment motions
    that “[w]e still have serious questions about . . . whether the Mikkelsens were the
    only preferred shareholders” in 2013. 15RR 14:23-25. That conclusory assertion is
    contradicted by the record and Mikkelsen’s own testimony at trial. See 8RR 151:2-5.
    Moreover, while Mikkelsen may be attempting to call into question whether the
    other preferred shareholders were properly converted in 2006 before the redemption,
    he has no standing to make such a claim and cannot undermine the validity of the
    conversion, especially considering he was not eligible to convert his shares and he
    was not a third-party beneficiary to the conversion offer. See S. Tex. Water Auth. v.
    152:13-153:2. Mikkelsen lacks standing to make such an assertion, and the trial court never
    invalidated the 2006 conversion. See infra Section II.B.1.
    28
    Lomas, 
    223 S.W.3d 304
    , 306 (Tex. 2007) (noting that courts presume that a
    noncontracting third party has no justiciable interest in a contract); MCI Telecomms.
    Corp. v. Tex. Utils. Elec. Co., 
    995 S.W.2d 647
    , 652 (Tex. 1999) (noting presumption
    against conferring third-party-beneficiary status on noncontracting parties). In any
    event, there was no evidence at trial that any other preferred shareholder complained
    about the 2006 conversion or redemption, or challenged the validity of either. 8RR
    159:24-163:15. In fact, Mikkelsen conceded at trial that he is “not complaining
    about what happened to anybody else” during 2006 and affirmed that his only
    complaint is that he should have been given the option to obtain common stock. 8RR
    163:16-23; see 
    also supra
    Section II.A. (explaining that Mikkelsen had no right to
    convert his shares under the Articles of Incorporation).
    Second, Mikkelsen’s suggestion that the 2006 conversion and redemption
    somehow prevent the 2013 redemption from being valid is wrong. 15RR 14:19-23
    (asserting that the 2013 redemption “was really sort of an extension of the invalid
    2006 redemption”). As an initial matter, the trial court never called into question the
    validity of the 2006 conversion or redemption as regards other shareholders (or
    otherwise, set those transactions aside), meaning that any alleged invalidity of the
    2006 conversion or redemption does not prevent the 2013 redemption from being
    valid. Moreover, Mikkelsen cannot point to any authority to support the proposition
    that an invalid redemption of stock taints a subsequent redemption such that the
    29
    stock never can be redeemed. In fact, the case cited time and again by Mikkelsen at
    trial—Cotten v. Weatherford Bancshares, Inc., 
    187 S.W.3d 687
    (Tex. App.—Fort
    Worth 2006, pet. denied), overruled by Ritchie, 
    443 S.W.3d 856
    , stands for the
    opposite proposition and confirms that the validity of a subsequent redemption does
    not depend on whether a prior redemption was effective. 
    Id. at 704
    (considering the
    validity of a subsequent redemption independently from the validity of a prior
    redemption, and holding that the second redemption was void only because the
    purported shareholder did not receive proper notice).
    Because (1) all former preferred shareholders (other than the Mikkelsens)
    were converted or redeemed in 2006, (2) those conversions and redemptions (except
    as to Mikkelsen) never were invalidated by the trial court, and (3) Mikkelsen lacks
    standing to challenge them, the 2013 redemption necessarily is separate from the
    2006 redemption, and Mikkelsen cannot use any alleged invalidity related to the
    2006 redemption to undermine the 2013 redemption. The 2013 redemption was
    valid and complied with the Articles of Incorporation. The trial court erred in
    deciding to the contrary as a matter of law and/or fact. For the foregoing reasons, the
    trial court’s findings are not supported by legally or factually sufficient evidence.
    2.     The 2013 Tender Is Valid.
    Mikkelsen claims that the 2013 tender is invalid or otherwise not sufficient,
    but his arguments are belied by the record. The 2013 tender was for $115,548.24,
    30
    which more than covered the value of Mikkelsen’s preferred shares, unpaid
    dividends, interest, and attorneys’ fees related to the breach of contract claim. The
    trial court erred to the extent it held, as a matter of law and/or fact, that the 2013
    tender was invalid, and its findings are not supported by legally or factually
    sufficient evidence. At the very least, there are fact issues related to the tender that a
    jury should decide.11
    Mikkelsen asserts that the 2013 tender cannot be effective because Herring
    Bancorp sent Mikkelsen a cashier’s check instead of depositing funds in an
    escrow/deposit account. See 15RR 15:1-17. This formalistic argument about the
    mechanics of payment, however, does not call into question the validity of the
    tender. See 1CR437. The Articles of Incorporation do not require Herring Bancorp
    to redeem preferred shares by depositing funds in an escrow/deposit account; the
    Articles of Incorporation only specify that depositing funds in an escrow/deposit
    account is an acceptable method of effectuating a redemption. Ex. 5, art. IV(d). The
    Articles also state that shares can be redeemed “by paying in cash,” which is the
    equivalent of a cashier’s check. 
    Id., art. IV(c);
    see Dilling v. Nationsbank, N.A., 
    897 S.W.2d 451
    , 457 (Tex. App.—Waco 1995), rev’d on other grounds, 
    922 S.W.2d 950
    (Tex. 1996) (calling a cashier’s check “a cash equivalent”); Ex parte Ellis, 279
    11
    As noted, even though the trial court denied Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on this
    issue, it refused to instruct and to ask the jury about the 2013 redemption and tender. 
    See supra
    Facts Section V; see also 11RR 14:9-17:12; Ex. 10.
    
    31 S.W.3d 1
    , 25 (Tex. App.—Austin 2008), aff’d, 
    309 S.W.3d 71
    (Tex. Crim. App.
    2010) (same).
    As these provisions suggest, the key language in the Articles of Incorporation
    is that the transfer of funds/payment associated with a redemption be “irrevocable”
    and “available” to the preferred shareholder on the redemption date. Ex. 5, art.
    IV(c)-(d). The 2013 tender (in the form of a cashier’s check) met those criteria, and
    thus was an effective mechanism of payment. See Jensen v. Covington, 
    234 S.W.3d 198
    , 206 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, pet. denied) (noting that a tender is an
    unconditional offer); Staff Indus., Inc. v. Hallmark Contracting, Inc., 
    846 S.W.2d 542
    (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1993, no writ).
    Mikkelsen also incorrectly claims that the tender is invalid because the
    cashier’s check is payable to both Mikkelsen and his brother, Mallory, even though
    Mallory Mikkelsen purportedly assigned his shares to John Mikkelsen in 2008. See
    15RR 15:2-10. As an initial matter, Mikkelsen is wrong that the purported
    assignment of Mallory Mikkelsen’s shares was effective as to Herring Bancorp. The
    tender correctly listed both John Mikkelsen and Mallory Mikkelsen because that was
    how the shares were listed on Herring Bancorp’s books. See 4RR 37:3-7; 10RR
    158:18-22 (Jack Hall, Herring Bank’s CFO, testifying that John and Mallory
    Mikkelsen were both shareholders of record in 2013, assuming the 2006 redemption
    was invalid). Under Herring Bancorp’s Bylaws, “[s]hares of stock of the
    32
    Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the
    shareholders thereof . . . . Upon surrender to the Corporation . . . of a certificate
    representing shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
    succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, the Corporation . . . shall issue a
    new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record
    the transaction upon its books.” 12RR, PX-3, § 7.05 (emphasis added). Mikkelsen
    never properly presented the purported assignment to Herring Bancorp, never
    surrendered any stock certificates to Herring Bancorp, and never received any new
    stock certificates from Herring Bancorp.12 Thus—assuming that Mikkelsen and his
    brother remained shareholders after 2006—the purported assignment was not
    effective, and the old certificates remained valid under the Articles of Incorporation.
    Herring Bancorp was required to make the tender based on its books and records,
    meaning that the tender was effective regardless of any purported assignment. In any
    event, Mikkelsen has never argued (and has put forward no evidence to suggest) that
    his brother is unwilling to sign the cashier’s check, or that Mikkelsen is prevented in
    any way from negotiating the tender.
    Finally, to the extent that Mikkelsen argues that the tender amount is
    insufficient, that argument is wrong. There never has been a dispute about the
    12
    Nothing in the Bylaws suggests that producing a purported certificate of assignment in litigation
    is sufficient to comply with Section 7.05.
    33
    amount paid for the shares or the amount of unpaid dividends, which means that the
    2013 tender was sufficient to redeem Mikkelsen’s shares. See 12RR, PX-16
    (showing Mikkelsen’s calculations). 13 Accordingly, the only contested issue is
    whether the tender covers any remaining amounts owed to Mikkelsen.14
    The only other possible amounts owing to Mikkelsen are attorneys’ fees,
    interest amounts, and damages. The tender more than covers these amounts,
    assuming the Court finds the 2006 redemption invalid. First, Mikkelsen only
    incurred about $40,000 in attorneys’ fees related to his breach of contract claim, see
    infra Section IV.B., which is $10,000 less than the amount for attorneys’ fees
    provided in the 2013 tender. See Ex. 9 at 2.15 Second, Mikkelsen has put forward no
    evidence showing that the interest calculation in the 2013 tender is less than what is
    owed, and the tender includes $10,000 more in interest than the amount of
    prejudgment interest in the Final Judgment. See Ex. 1 at 2; Ex. 9 at 2. Third, the only
    damages that Mikkelsen was awarded in the Final Judgment “represent[] preferred
    dividends,” which the 2013 tender covered. See Ex. 1 at 2; see also Ex. 9. Mikkelsen
    13
    Because Mikkelsen only was entitled to the par value of his shares and any unpaid dividends
    under the Articles of Incorporation, because those amounts are not in dispute, and because the
    tender covered those amounts, Mikkelsen has received all amounts necessary to redeem his shares.
    14
    If the 2013 redemption and tender are effective, Mikkelsen is not entitled to any dividends after
    the date of the 2013 redemption. See infra note 16.
    15
    If the Court finds that the 2006 redemption was valid, Mikkelsen is not entitled to any attorneys’
    fees because he will not have prevailed on his breach of contract claim, see infra Section IV.A.,
    and the Court will not need to decide whether the 2013 redemption and tender are valid.
    34
    has not disputed Defendants’ dividend calculation in the 2013 tender, and the tender
    even covers the extra $2,041.52 awarded for unpaid dividends in the Final
    Judgment16 because the tender included more than $10,000 in excess attorneys’ fees
    and an excess amount of interest. See infra Section IV.B.; compare Ex. 1 at 2
    (awarding $23,112.00 in damages based on unpaid dividends and $5,222.25 in
    prejudgment interest), with Ex. 9 at 1 (tender includes $21,070.48 in unpaid
    dividends and $15,997.26 in interest). While Mikkelsen appears to have resisted
    accepting the 2013 tender because it did not include all damage amounts he
    originally sought, 8RR 137:6-9, the jury was not asked to award and did not award
    any actual damages above the amounts of unpaid dividends, see Ex. 2 at 12-30.
    Moreover, the jury failed to find “malice” and did not award any punitive damages.
    Ex. 2 at 13-16, 20-23, 27-30. And, for the reasons stated in Sections I and III,
    Mikkelsen’s tort claims fail as a matter of law. Thus, the tender covers all damages
    owed to Mikkelsen.
    For these reasons, the tender is effective both to redeem Mikkelsen’s shares
    and to cover all amounts he is owed. This Court should reverse the trial court’s
    finding that the 2013 redemption was invalid, hold that the 2013 tender redeemed
    Mikkelsen’s shares and sufficiently covered all amounts owed to Mikkelsen, and
    16
    The unpaid dividend amount in the Final Judgment is slightly higher than in the tender because
    more dividends accrued between November 2013 and June 2015.
    35
    render judgment in favor of Defendants. Alternatively, there is, at the very least, a
    fact issue related to whether the amount of the tender is sufficient, requiring a new
    trial on the declaratory judgment claims. See Ex. 10.
    3.     The Trial Court Abused its Discretion by Refusing to Instruct
    and Ask the Jury About the 2013 Redemption and Tender.
    As noted, the trial court denied Defendants’ summary judgment motion,
    motions for directed verdict, and post-judgment motions related to the 2013
    redemption and tender. 
    See supra
    Section II.B. While the record shows no motion
    or request from Mikkelsen that the trial court issue a directed verdict in his favor
    about the validity of the 2013 redemption and tender, the trial court appears to have
    issued such a ruling, 11RR 16:20-17:8; 2CR294, and refused to let the jury decide
    these issues, Ex. 10.
    To the extent a fact issue prevents this Court from rendering judgment in
    Defendants’ favor, it should conclude that the trial court’s findings are not supported
    by legally or factually sufficient evidence, as 
    argued supra
    in Sections II.B.1.-2., and
    that the trial court erred and abused its discretion by not submitting instructions and
    questions to the jury about the 2013 redemption and tender. Defendants’ requested
    questions and instructions were substantially correct. 
    See supra
    Section II.B.2; Ex.
    10. The trial court’s failure to ask the jury about the 2013 redemption and tender is
    reversible error because it prevented the jury from rendering a proper verdict and
    because it probably caused the rendition of an improper judgment. See Tex.
    36
    Workers’ Comp. Ins. Fund v. Mandlbauer, 
    34 S.W.3d 909
    , 911 (Tex. 2000); Tex. R.
    App. P. 44.1(a).
    C.     Regardless of the Validity of the Two Redemptions, Mikkelsen Cannot
    Show Any Damages Resulting from Defendants’ Actions.
    Mikkelsen has received payment for all he is owed for any breach of the
    Articles of Incorporation. 
    See supra
    Sections II.A.-B. In 2006, Herring Bancorp
    deposited in escrow the par value of Mikkelsen’s preferred shares plus any unpaid
    dividends. 13RR, DX-26 at 2; 13RR, DX-32. In 2013, Herring Bancorp sent
    Mikkelsen a tender, in the form of a cashier’s check (No. 120987), for $115,548.24,
    which included $28,500 for redeeming 300 shares at $95 per share (par value),
    $21,070.48 in unpaid dividends, $15,977.76 in interest, and $50,000 in attorneys’
    fees. See Ex. 9. If the 2006 redemption is valid, then Mikkelsen is entitled to the
    amount in escrow; if the 2006 redemption is invalid, then Mikkelsen is entitled to the
    tender amount paid in 2013. Either way, Mikkelsen has received payment for the
    value of his preferred shares and any unpaid dividends, which means that he no
    longer is a shareholder of Herring Bancorp. Ex. 5, art. IV(c)-(d). And, as explained,
    the tender also included amounts for interest and attorneys’ fees which, to the extent
    those amounts are required, more than cover what Mikkelsen is owed. 
    See supra
    Section II.B.2.; see infra Section IV.B. Mikkelsen thus cannot show any damages to
    support his breach of contract claim.
    37
    D.     Even Assuming a Breach, Mikkelsen Is Not Entitled to Remain a
    Shareholder in Perpetuity; He Only Is Entitled to the Par Value of His
    Preferred Shares Plus Unpaid Dividends.
    Mikkelsen has asserted that, because he considers the 2006 redemption
    invalid, Herring Bancorp is incapable of redeeming his preferred shares, and he can
    hold those shares and exercise his alleged rights to inspect the corporate books and
    records in perpetuity. That argument finds no support in the Articles of
    Incorporation or in Texas law.
    Regardless of the validity of the 2006 redemption, Herring Bancorp has the
    right to redeem and/or repurchase Mikkelsen’s shares at any time, and Mikkelsen
    only is entitled to the value of his shares plus any unpaid dividends. Specifically,
    Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation allows Herring Bancorp to redeem all
    preferred shareholders at any time, and Article XII allows Herring Bancorp to
    “purchase, directly or indirectly, its own shares” at any time and without submitting
    that decision to a shareholder vote. Ex. 5, art. IV, XII.
    Herring Bancorp redeemed Mikkelsen’s shares twice (in 2006 and 2013). The
    trial court erroneously held that the 2006 redemption was invalid, and Mikkelsen
    convinced the trial court to deny summary judgment on the 2013 redemption and to
    take this issue away from the jury based on the incorrect assertion that the 2013
    redemption was improper simply because Mikkelsen did not “think the [2006]
    redemption was proper.” 4RR 36:4-19. Mikkelsen already has received what he was
    38
    owed under the Articles of Incorporation—both in 2006 through the amount
    deposited in escrow and in 2013 through the tender. 
    See supra
    Section II.C.
    Accordingly, even if the Court determines that Herring Bancorp breached the
    Articles of Incorporation, it must reverse the Final Judgment insofar as it declared
    that Mikkelsen remains a preferred shareholder with the right to inspect Herring
    Bancorp’s books and records. At a minimum, and to the extent the redemptions and
    tender were invalid, this Court should reverse and remand the action for the trial
    court to determine the proper amount that Herring Bancorp must pay Mikkelsen to
    redeem his shares.
    III.   Defendants Are Entitled to Judgment on Mikkelsen’s Breach of
    Fiduciary Duty Claim Against C.C. Burgess for an Additional Reason
    Than the One Found by the Jury.
    The jury found that only C.C. Burgess breached fiduciary duties he allegedly
    owed to Mikkelsen but awarded no damages based on that finding. Ex. 2 at 17-23.
    The jury’s breach of fiduciary duty finding was not specifically incorporated into the
    Final Judgment, which denied all relief “not expressly herein granted.” Ex. 1 at 3.
    The trial court correctly did not award relief on the jury’s breach of fiduciary duty
    finding in the Final Judgment because no damages were awarded on that claim.
    Additionally, there should have been no liability finding as to C.C. Burgess because
    (1) directors, officers, and majority shareholders of a corporation do not owe
    fiduciary duties to minority shareholders as a matter of law, and (2) the evidence at
    39
    trial was not legally or factually sufficient to show that C.C. Burgess violated any
    alleged fiduciary duty to Mikkelsen. Defendants address why the jury’s finding that
    C.C. Burgess breached his fiduciary duties is wrong as a matter of law and fact only
    out of an abundance of caution.
    A.     C.C. Burgess Owes No Fiduciary Duties to Mikkelsen Under Texas
    Law.
    Texas law is clear that officers and directors do not owe formal fiduciary
    duties to individual shareholders—including minority shareholders; the only
    fiduciary duties they owe are to the corporation as a whole. See, e.g., Somers ex rel.
    EGL, Inc. v. Crane, 
    295 S.W.3d 5
    , 11 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2009, no
    pet.) (“A director’s fiduciary duty runs only to the corporation, not to individual
    shareholders or even to a majority of the shareholders.” (citation omitted)); Grinnell
    v. Munson, 
    137 S.W.3d 706
    , 718 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2004, pet. denied).
    Texas law also is clear that shareholders in closely held corporations do not owe
    fiduciary duties to other shareholders, even where the relevant relationship is
    between a majority and minority shareholder. See Opperman v. Opperman, No.
    07-12-00033-CV, 
    2013 WL 6529228
    , at *4 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Dec. 9, 2013, no
    pet.); Pabich v. Kellar, 
    71 S.W.3d 500
    , 504 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2002, pet.
    denied). Thus, under well-established Texas law, C.C. Burgess owed no formal
    fiduciary duties to Mikkelsen.
    40
    While courts have, on occasion, held that an informal fiduciary relationship
    can arise from “a moral, social, domestic or purely personal relationship of trust and
    confidence,” Associated Indemnity Corp. v. CAT Contracting, Inc., 
    964 S.W.2d 276
    ,
    287 (Tex. 1998), such relationships are not inferred or created “lightly,”
    Schlumberger Technology Corp. v. Swanson, 
    959 S.W.2d 171
    , 176-77 (Tex. 1997);
    see also Jones v. Thompson, 
    338 S.W.3d 573
    , 583 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2010, pet.
    denied) (“Texas courts are reluctant to recognize informal fiduciary relationships.”).
    Indeed, “[t]o impose an informal fiduciary duty in a business transaction, the special
    relationship of trust and confidence must exist prior to, and apart from, the
    agreement [underlying] the suit.” Associated Indemnity 
    Corp., 964 S.W.2d at 288
    .
    Here, Mikkelsen has not pleaded, let alone shown, the existence of any special
    relationship with C.C. Burgess that would create an informal fiduciary relationship
    between the two of them. See 2CR153-61. And there is no evidence in the trial
    record to support the existence of such a relationship.
    Despite these precedents, the trial court erred and instructed the jury that
    majority shareholders owe fiduciary duties to minority shareholders as a matter of
    law. Ex. 2 at 17-18; see also 11RR 20:1-22:9 (objecting to instructions regarding
    fiduciary duties). This instruction was erroneous under the authorities cited above.
    The jury’s “$0.00” damage finding justified the trial court’s denial of the relief
    Mikkelsen requested on his breach of fiduciary duty claim. Because C.C. Burgess
    41
    owed no fiduciary duties to Mikkelsen as a matter of law, the Court should render
    judgment in favor of Defendants on the breach of fiduciary duty claim for this
    additional reason. Certainly, the trial court’s erroneous jury instruction and question
    prevents the rendition of judgment against C.C. Burgess on this claim, as does the
    insufficiency of the evidence discussed below.
    B.     Alternatively, the Evidence Was Not Legally or Factually Sufficient to
    Show That C.C. Burgess Violated Any Purported Fiduciary Duties.
    Even if C.C. Burgess somehow owed Mikkelsen a fiduciary duty (which he
    did not), insufficient evidence was introduced at trial for the jury to conclude that
    C.C. Burgess breached any such duty. C.C. Burgess’s involvement (as relevant here)
    was limited to his participation on the Herring Bancorp Board subcommittee that
    selected the two neutral criteria for deciding which preferred shares could be
    converted and which shares would be redeemed—i.e., whether the preferred
    shareholder had a banking relationship with Herring Bank, and whether the
    preferred shareholder would own at least 50 shares of common stock after the
    conversion, 13RR, DX-19 at 1. Formulating these criteria cannot form the basis of a
    breach of fiduciary duty claim because the evidence at trial showed that these criteria
    were adopted because the Herring Bancorp Board believed that they were in the best
    interests of the Corporation. See 9RR 27:17-30:5 (C.C. Burgess stating that the
    reason for adopting the 50-share threshold was the concern that as the bank grew,
    new shareholders would need to be attracted and the bank needed “to maintain as
    42
    many openings . . . for inviting those shareholders to join the bank”); 10RR
    121:15-122:18 (Todd Clark testifying that, in his view, “[y]ou want people to have a
    reasonable investment in the bank, be customers in the bank if they are going to own
    shares in the bank”). In any event, Defendants presented unrefuted evidence at trial
    that these criteria were not developed to affect Mikkelsen, or otherwise breach any
    purported fiduciary relationship with Mikkelsen. See 9RR 28:3-6 (“Q. Did [the
    50-share threshold] have anything to do with the number of shares [Mikkelsen]
    would have after a conversion . . . . ? A. Absolutely not.”); 9RR 33:4-11 (“It was
    never our intent to ostracize Mr. Mikkelsen in any way.”); 10RR 91:18-94:2 (Susan
    Couch discussing that the two criteria were approved by outside legal counsel);
    10RR 107:22-108:16 (Todd Clark testifying that he did not know whether
    Mikkelsen met the two criteria until this lawsuit was filed).
    In sum, Mikkelsen failed to introduce legally or factually sufficient evidence
    at trial to justify the jury’s liability finding on the breach of fiduciary duty claim as to
    C.C. Burgess. In the unlikely event that the Court reverses the Final Judgment on
    this claim, at least a new trial is warranted for the reasons stated above.
    IV.    The $127,442 Fee Award Should Be Reversed.
    A.     Because Mikkelsen Cannot Prevail on His Breach of Contract Claim,
    He Is Not Entitled to an Attorneys’ Fee Award.
    As explained, 
    see supra
    Section II, Mikkelsen should not have prevailed on
    his breach of contract claim that the trial court decided on summary judgment in
    43
    2011. And because the breach of contract claim was the basis for Mikkelsen’s fee
    award, see 10RR at 54:17-19 (basing claimed fee amount on “the contract claim”),
    reversing the trial court’s Final Judgment on the breach of contract claim requires
    this Court to reverse the fee award as well and render judgment in favor of
    Defendants. See, e.g., Harrison v. Williams Dental Grp., P.C., 
    140 S.W.3d 912
    , 918
    (Tex. App.—Dallas 2004, no pet.) (“[W]e have reversed the trial court’s judgment
    as to the breach of contract claim, so we cannot uphold the award of attorney’s fees
    based on that claim.”).
    B.     Alternatively, if Mikkelsen Is Entitled to Some of His Fees, the
    $127,442 Award Cannot Stand Because It Is Unsupported and Because
    Mikkelsen Did Not Segregate His Attorneys’ Fees Properly.
    Texas law is clear that, in order to recover attorneys’ fees, a party must
    establish the amount of time/expenses incurred pursuing claims which allow for
    attorneys’ fees, and must segregate that time/expense from the time/expense
    incurred pursuing claims which do not allow for attorneys’ fees. See Tony Gullo
    Motors I, L.P. v. Chapa, 
    212 S.W.3d 299
    , 311 (Tex. 2006). While Mikkelsen’s
    attorney generally stated at trial that 80% of his time and expenses should be
    recoverable because they were “tied” with the contract claim, this generalized claim
    is not sufficient for segregation purposes and is belied by the record. See 10RR
    53:6-58:7.
    44
    First, under Long v. Griffin, 
    442 S.W.3d 253
    (Tex. 2014), a ballpark
    percentage guess about the amount of time spent pursuing a specific claim is not
    sufficient for segregation purposes; the party seeking its fees must present “evidence
    of the time spent on specific tasks” to show proper segregation. 
    Id. at 255;
    see also
    Enzo Invs., LP v. White, 
    468 S.W.3d 635
    , 652 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]
    2015, pet. denied) (holding that attorney’s statement that 95% of the attorney time in
    a case was attributable to a breach of contract claim was insufficient evidence of
    segregation). While Mikkelsen may claim that he provided more evidence than a
    ballpark percentage guess because his fee invoices were admitted into the record, a
    review of those invoices demonstrated that the 80% ballpark guess was not accurate.
    In fact, Defendants’ trial counsel conducted an “audit-like” review of Mikkelsen’s
    invoices and, based on that review, he testified at trial that Mikkelsen’s reasonable
    and necessary attorneys’ fees related to the breach of contract claim were at most
    $39,545.87. See 10RR 180:12-183:24. Thus, far from an 80% ballpark guess, an
    accurate, audit-like review showed that Mikkelsen only incurred about $40,000 in
    attorneys’ fees pursuing the breach of contract claim—roughly 25% of the total fees
    incurred. 
    Id. Second, while
    Mikkelsen’s counsel suggested that 80% of his fees could not
    be segregated because the claims at issue were “inextricably intertwined,” 10RR
    54:25-55:19, this assertion is contradicted by binding authority. The Texas Supreme
    45
    Court has held that segregation between claims is not required “only when legal
    services advance both recoverable and unrecoverable claims . . . .” A.G. Edwards &
    Sons, Inc. v. Beyer, 
    235 S.W.3d 704
    , 710 (Tex. 2007) (citing Tony 
    Gullo, 212 S.W.3d at 313-14
    ) (emphasis added); see also 7979 Airport Garage, L.L.C. v.
    Dollar Rent A Car Sys., Inc., 
    245 S.W.3d 488
    , 509 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th
    Dist.] 2007, pet. denied) (“If any of the component tasks relate solely to a cause of
    action for which legal fees are not recoverable, the claimant must segregate the
    fees.”). Since Mikkelsen’s contract claim was decided on summary judgment in
    2011—almost four years before trial—time and expenses incurred after that claim
    was decided as a matter of law cannot have “advanced” that claim, and thus
    Mikkelsen’s contract claim is not “inextricably intertwined” with his tort claims that
    proceeded to trial. When Mikkelsen’s contract claim was decided as a matter of law
    in 2011, Mikkelsen had incurred less than $50,000 in attorneys’ fees litigating this
    case. See 12RR, PX-50. While it is possible that 80% of those fees were spent
    pursuing the contract claim (which would comport with the “audit-like” review of
    Mikkelsen’s invoices, see 10RR 180:12-183:24), that same percentage cannot hold
    for the remaining fees that Mikkelsen incurred from 2011 through trial, almost four
    years after the contract claim was decided on summary judgment. Indeed, even a
    cursory review of Mikkelsen’s invoices demonstrates that the fees and expenses
    incurred after 2011 did not relate to the breach of contract claim. See, e.g., 12RR,
    46
    PX-50 at MIK0087 (time entries for motion to compel not related to breach of
    contract claim); 
    id. at MIK0107-0108
    (time entries related to Defendants’ Third
    Motion for Summary Judgment on tort claims only).17
    In sum, Mikkelsen failed to segregate his fees properly, and the record
    demonstrates that the fee award is unsupported by legally or factually sufficient
    evidence. Under Tony Gullo, should this Court affirm the trial court’s finding on
    Mikkelsen’s breach of contract claim, it must reverse the fee award and remand for a
    new trial on that issue.
    C.      Defendants Are Entitled to Their Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees Spent
    Pursuing Their Declaratory Judgment Claim.
    As explained, the trial court erred in denying Defendants’ declaratory
    judgment claim on the 2013 redemption and tender. 
    See supra
    Section II.B.2. Under
    Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 37.009, Defendants are entitled to their reasonable
    and necessary attorneys’ fees spent pursuing this claim—specifically, $5,500 in
    reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees through trial plus $12,500 in conditional
    17
    To the extent Mikkelsen asserts that his fee award is based on the cross-declaratory judgment
    claims as well as the contract claim, that argument is belied by the record. See 10RR 55:17-19
    (asserting that 80% of the time is “tied with the contract claim”). Further, even if Mikkelsen’s fee
    claim relates to his cross-declaratory judgment claim as well, Mikkelsen never accounted for the
    large gap of time between when the contract claim was decided on summary judgment in 2011 and
    when he pleaded his cross-declaratory judgment claim in 2015. See 2CR158. While Mikkelsen
    may attempt to claim that the fees he incurred defending against Defendants’ declaratory judgment
    are rightfully included in a fee award, it is telling that Defendants sought only $5,500 in fees based
    on that claim. 10RR 186:25-191:6. Finally, Mikkelsen fails to account for the fact that several time
    entries on his attorneys’ invoices from late 2013 through trial had nothing to do with the contract
    claim or cross-declaratory judgment claims. See, e.g., PX-50 at MIK0107-0108.
    47
    appellate fees. See 10RR 186:25-191:6. Accordingly, if this Court agrees with
    Defendants that the 2013 redemption and tender are valid, then it should award
    Defendants the attorneys’ fees they spent pursuing their declaratory judgment claim,
    or alternatively, remand for further proceedings on these fees.
    V.    To the Extent the Court Does Not Render Judgment in Favor of
    Defendants, a New Trial Also Is Warranted Because the Trial Court
    Impermissibly Commented on the Weight of the Evidence When It
    Instructed the Jury That Herring Bancorp Had Breached its Articles of
    Incorporation as a Matter of Law.
    As Defendants have argued, judgment should be rendered in their favor on all
    of the issues raised in this appeal. All of Defendants’ arguments about new trial and
    remand are alternative arguments and apply only if the Court finds that it cannot
    render judgment in Defendants’ favor. To the extent the Court finds that Defendants
    are not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the contract or tort claims, a new
    trial also is required given the trial court’s prejudicial comment on the weight of the
    evidence in its jury instructions.
    As noted, Mikkelsen presented this case to the jury as a breach-of-contract
    dispute. 
    See supra
    Facts Section V. Yet, when the jury received its instructions, the
    trial court erred and abused its discretion and told the jury that it already had
    determined the breach-of-contract claim as a matter of law in Mikkelsen’s favor. Ex.
    2 at 7 (“You are instructed that the Court has previously determined, as a matter of
    law, that Defendant Herring failed to comply with the Articles of Incorporation of
    48
    Herring Bancorp when it purported to involuntarily redeem Mikkelsen’s preferred
    shares in 2006.”). The trial court gave this instruction over repeated objections, see
    8RR 203:20-220:8; 11RR 9:22-13:11; 2CR259, and this prejudicial statement
    infected the jury charge with error and probably caused the rendition of an improper
    judgment. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 277; Redwine v. AAA Life Ins. Co., 
    852 S.W.2d 10
    , 14
    (Tex. App.—Dallas 1993, no writ) (“Reversal is required if an improper comment
    on the weight of the evidence is one that was calculated to cause and probably did
    cause the rendition of an improper judgment.”); Seymore v. Dorsett, No.
    07-03-0175-CV, 
    2005 WL 2849061
    , at *3 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Oct. 31, 2005, no
    pet.).
    Several appellate courts have reversed judgments where the trial court gave
    similar “instructions” that amounted to improper comments on the weight of the
    evidence. For example, in Redwine, the Dallas Court of Appeals explicitly held that,
    “[a]lthough the assumption of an uncontroverted fact in the jury charge is generally
    not held to be a comment on the weight of the evidence, we cannot conclude that the
    instructions given in the instant case concerning issues decided as a matter of law . . .
    were not comments on the weight of the 
    evidence.” 852 S.W.2d at 16
    . In reaching
    this conclusion, the Redwine court reviewed the holdings of other courts of appeals
    and noted that those “courts held that jury instructions concerning issues decided as
    a matter of law were improper comments on the weight of the evidence because they
    49
    suggested to the jury how the remaining issues should be resolved.” 
    Id. Similarly, in
    American Bankers Insurance Co. v. Caruth, 
    786 S.W.2d 427
    (Tex. App.—Dallas
    1990, no writ), the court held that instructing the jury about a prior ruling was an
    improper comment on the weight of the evidence, was not “helpful to the jury in
    answering any of the questions in the court’s charge,” and “tended to imply to the
    jury that the trial judge thought the law and the facts were in favor” of one party over
    the other. 
    Id. at 435;
    see also First Nat’l Bank of Amarillo v. Jarnigan, 
    794 S.W.2d 54
    , 61-62 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 1990, writ denied) (“[A]nything which does not aid
    the jury in answering the jury questions submitted . . . must be excluded from the
    charge.”); Mader v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 
    683 S.W.2d 731
    , 733 (Tex.
    App.—Corpus Christi 1984, no writ) (“The trial court, in effect, informed the jury
    on a finding which it had made as a matter of law. This was error. . . . [W]e believe
    that the instruction strongly suggested to the jury that [it] should answer the
    accompanying issue [in favor of one party] . . . . We can see no useful purpose for the
    instruction other than to steer the jury . . . . As such, we find that the instruction was
    an impermissible comment on the evidence . . . .”); Bd. of Regents v. Denton Constr.,
    
    652 S.W.2d 588
    , 594-95 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1983, writ ref’d n.r.e.) (“We are at
    a loss to determine why this instruction was included in the charge. . . . [T]his
    instruction was not explanatory of anything, except that the court had [made a
    ruling] as a matter of law . . . . We think this tended to imply to the jury that the court
    50
    thought the law and the facts were with the appellee, and as such, the instruction was
    erroneously prejudicial.”).
    These cases demonstrate that comments about prior rulings do not aid the jury
    and can improperly influence the jury’s deliberations. That is especially true where,
    as here, Mikkelsen framed the trial such that the breach-of-contract claim was the
    focus. See 7RR 16:12-14 (“[T]his case is about the breach of a covenant.”); 7RR
    22:2-5 (“If they had been all redeemed, we would not be here today because that
    complied with the covenant, the Articles of Incorporation.”); 11RR 32:23-34:2 (“I
    told you in our opening that I believe the evidence would show that the covenant, the
    Articles of Incorporation had been broken . . . . Now, in our closing arguments, this
    is our chance to summarize for you what we think the evidence has shown. . . . First
    and foremost in this charge, on page seven, is the following: Finding by the Court
    that the Articles of Incorporation were violated.”). Indeed, where the entire trial is
    framed as a question about whether the Articles of Incorporation were breached, and
    then the Court instructs the jury that it previously found that the Articles were
    breached, it is difficult to imagine a more prejudicial instruction. This erroneous
    instruction likely had spillover effects and affected the jury’s deliberations regarding
    the minority oppression and breach of fiduciary duty claims (despite the trial court’s
    addition that “failure to comply with the Articles of Incorporation, standing alone, is
    51
    not sufficient to constitute minority oppression or breach of fiduciary duty”). Ex. 2
    at 7.
    The trial court’s instruction regarding its prior ruling on Mikkelsen’s
    summary judgment motion was erroneous and likely caused the rendition of an
    improper judgment. To the extent the Court determines that it cannot render
    judgment in Defendants’ favor, the Court should reverse the Final Judgment and
    remand for a new trial for this additional reason.
    CONCLUSION AND PRAYER
    For the reasons stated, Defendants respectfully pray that this Court reverse the
    trial court’s Final Judgment and render judgment in favor of Defendants.
    Alternatively, Defendants respectfully pray that this Court reverse the Final
    Judgment insofar as it awards Mikkelsen relief and remand the case for a new trial to
    resolve any disputed fact issues. Defendants also pray for any further relief to which
    they are justly entitled.

    Defendants/Counter-Plaintiffs.      §    WILBARGER COUNTY, TEXAS
    CHARGE TO THE JURY
    LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY:
    This case is submitted to you by asking questions about the facts, which you must decide
    from the evidence you have heard in this trial. You are the sole judges of the credibility of the
    witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony, but in matters of law, you must be governed
    by the instructions in this charge. In discharging your responsibility on this jury, you will observe
    all the instructions which have previously been given you. I shall now give you additional
    instructions which you should carefully and strictly follow during your deliberations.
    I.
    Do not let bias, prejudice or sympathy play any part in your deliberations.
    II.
    In arriving at your answers, consider only the evidence introduced here under oath and such
    exhibits, if any, as have been introduced for your consideration under the rulings of the Court; that
    is, what you have seen and heard in this courtroom, together with the law as given you by the Court.
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                   PAGE 1 OF 30
    228
    229229229229229
    In your deliberations, you will not consider or discuss anything that is not represented by the
    evidence in this case.
    HI.
    Since every answer that is required by the charge is important, no juror should state or
    consider that any required answer is not important.
    IV.
    You must not decide who you think should win, and then try to answer the questions
    accordingly. Simply answer the questions, and do not discuss nor concern yourselves with the effect
    of your answers.
    V.
    You will not decide the answer to a question by lot or by drawing straws, or by any other
    method of chance. Do not return a quotient verdict. A quotient verdict means that the jurors agree
    to abide by the result to be reached by adding together each juror's figure and dividing by the number
    of jurors to get an average. Do not do any trading on your answers; that is, one juror should not
    agree to answer a certain question one way if others will agree to answer another question another
    way.
    VI.
    You may render your verdict upon the vote of ten or more members of the jury. The same
    ten or more of you must agree upon all of the answers made and to the entire verdict. You will not,
    therefore, enter into an agreement to be bound by a majority or any other vote of less than ten jurors.
    If the verdict and all of the answers therein are reached by unanimous agreement, the presiding juror
    shall sign the verdict for the entire jury. If any juror disagrees as to any answer made by the verdict,
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                     PAGE 2 OF 30
    229
    230230230230230
    those jurors who agree to all findings shall each sign the verdict.
    VII.
    These instructions are given to you because your conduct is subject to review the same as that
    of the witnesses, parties, attorneys and the judge. If it should be found that you have disregarded any
    of these instructions, it will be jury misconduct and it may require another trial by another jury; then
    all of our time will have been wasted.
    VIII.
    The presiding juror or any other who observes a violation of the Court's instructions shall
    immediately warn the one who is violating the same and caution the juror not to do so again.
    IX.
    When words are used in this charge in a sense which varies from the commonly understood
    meaning, you are given a proper legal definition, which you are bound to accept in place of any other
    meaning.
    X.
    Answer by checking "Yes" or "No" to all questions unless otherwise instructed. A "Yes"
    answer must be based on a preponderance of the evidence. If you do not find that a preponderance
    of the evidence supports a "Yes" answer, then answer "No." If the question directs you to give an
    answer other than "Yes" or "No," you must still base your answers on a preponderance of the
    evidence with respect to each matter inquired about in the question. Preponderance of the evidence
    means the greater weight and degree of credible testimony or evidence introduced before you and
    admitted in evidence in this case.
    XI.
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                      PAGE 3 OF 30
    230
    231231231231231
    After you retire to the jury room, you will select your own presiding juror. The first thing
    the presiding juror will do is to have this complete charge read aloud together with the accompanying
    instructions and then you will deliberate upon your answers to the questions asked in the verdict
    form. It is the duty of the presiding juror to:
    (1)    Preside during your deliberations.
    (2)    See that your deliberations are conducted in an orderly manner and in accordance with
    the instructions in this charge.
    (3)     Write out and hand to the bailiff any communications concerning the case that you
    desire to have delivered to the Judge.
    (4)     Conduct voting on each question.
    (5)     Write your answers to the questions in the spaces provided.
    (6)     Certify to your verdict in the space provided for the presiding juror's signature, or to
    obtain the signatures of all the jurors who agree with the verdict if your verdict is less than
    unanimous.
    XII.
    You should not discuss the case with anyone, not even with other members of the jury, unless
    all of you are present and assembled in the jury room. Should anyone attempt to talk to you about
    the case before the verdict is returned, whether at the courthouse, or your home, or elsewhere, please
    inform the Judge of this fact.
    XIII.
    When you have answered all the questions you are required to answer under the instructions
    of the Judge and your presiding juror has placed your answers in the spaces provided and signed the
    verdict as presiding juror or obtained the signatures, you will inform the bailiff at the door of the jury
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                       PAGE 4 OF 30

    DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
    You are instructed that when words are used in the Questions in a sense which varies from
    the meaning commonly understood, you will be given in this Charge a proper legal definition which
    you are bound to accept in the place of any other definition or meaning. In answering the Questions
    you shall give the following terms the following meanings:
    1.     The term "preponderance of the evidence" means the greater weight of credible
    evidence presented in this case. If you do not find that a preponderance of the evidence supports a
    "yes" answer, then answer "no." A preponderance of the evidence is not measured by the number
    of witnesses or by the number of documents admitted in evidence. For a fact to be proved by a
    preponderance of the evidence, you must find that the fact is more likely true than not true. A fact
    may be established by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence, or both. A fact is established
    by direct evidence when proved by documentary evidence or by witnesses who saw the act done or
    heard the words spoken. A fact is established by circumstantial evidence when it may be fairly and
    reasonably inferred from other facts proved.
    2.     A fact may be established by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence or both.
    A fact is established by direct evidence when proved by documentary evidence or by witnesses who
    saw the act done or heard the words spoken. A fact is established by circumstantial evidence when
    it may be fairly and reasonably inferred from other facts proved.
    3.     "Mikkelsen" means PlaintiffJohn Mikkelsen, acting solely in his capacity as Trustee
    of the John Mikkelsen Trust and his agents, attorneys, and representatives acting in the course and
    scope of their agency or employment.
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                  PAGE 6 OF 30
    233
    234234234234234
    4.    "Herring Bancorp" means Herring Bancorp, Inc., and its agents, attorneys, employees,
    officers, directors, and representatives acting in the course and scope of their agency or employment.
    5.    "C.C. Burgess" means C.C. Burgess and his agents, attorneys, and representatives
    acting in the course and scope of their agency or employment.
    6.    "Campbell Burgess" means C. Campbell Burgess and his agents, attorneys, and
    representatives acting in the course and scope of their agency or employment.
    7.    The "Articles of Incorporation" means and refers to the Articles of Incorporation of
    Herring (Plaintiff's Exhibit "2").
    INSTRUCTION REGARDING BREACH OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
    You are instructed that the Court has previously determined, as a matter of law, that
    Defendant Herring failed to comply with the Articles of Incorporation of Herring Bancorp when it
    purported to involuntarily redeem Mikkelsen's preferred shares in 2006. However, this failure to
    comply with the Articles of Incorporation, standing alone, is not sufficient to constitute minority
    oppression or breach of fiduciary duty.
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                   PAGE 7 OF 30

    235235235235235
    QUESTION NO 1:
    What is a reasonable fee for the necessary services of Mikkelsen's attorney in connection
    with the failure of Herring Bancorp to comply with the Articles of Incorporation?
    In answering this Question, you are to consider the attorney's fees and expenses incurred and
    reasonably anticipated to be incurred by Mikkelsen in enforcing his rights in this action and any
    appeal thereof. In determining the amount of attorney's fees and expenses, you are to consider the
    following:
    •   the time and labor involved, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the
    skill required to perform the legal services properly;
    • the likelihood that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other
    employment by the lawyer;
    • the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services;
    •   the amount involved and the results obtained;
    •   the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances;
    •   the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client;
    • the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services;
    and
    •   whether the fee is fixed or contingent on results obtained or uncertainty of collection
    before the legal services have been rendered.
    CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                    PAGE 8 OF 30

    Corporations Section
    I, the undersigned natural person of the age of eighteen (18) years or more,
    acting as an incorporator of a corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation")
    under the Texas Business Corporation Act, do hereby adopt the following
    Articles of Incorporation for the Corporation:
    ARTICLE ONE: NAME
    The name of the Corporation is Herring Bancorp, Inc.
    ARTICLE TWO: DURATION
    The Corporation's period of duration is perpetuaL
    ARTICLE THREE: PURPOSE
    The purpose or purposes for which the Corporation is organized are:
    (a)    To act as a bank holding company;
    (b)    To transact any and all lawful business for which corporations may
    be incorporated under the Texas Business Corporation Act;
    (c)   To do each and every thing necessary, suitable, or proper for the
    accomplishment of any of the purposes or for the attainment of
    any one or more of the objects herein enumerated or which at any
    time appear conducive to or expedient for the protection or benefit
    of the Corporation.
    The foregoing clauses shall be construed as powers as well as objects and
    purposes, and the matter expressed in each clause shall, unless herein otherWise
    expressly provided, be in nowise limited by reference to or inference from the
    terms of any other clause, but shall be regarded as independent objects, purposes
    and powers, and shall not be construed to limit or restrict in any manner the
    meaning of the general terms or the general powers of the Corporation.
    ARTICLE FOUR: STOCK
    The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be
    designated respectively "preferred" and "common." The total number of shares
    which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 125,000 shares. The number of
    HERR 000075
    preferred shares authorized is 25,000 shares, and the par value of each such
    share is $95.00. The number of common shares authorized is 100,000 shares, and
    the par value of each such share is $20.00.
    (a)    The holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled to receive
    dividends, out of any funds legally available therefor, at the rate of
    ten percent (10.0%) per annum of the par value thereof, and no
    more, payable in cash semi-annually, or at such intervals as the
    Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Such
    dividends shall accrue from the date of issuance of the respective
    preferred shares and shall be deemed to accrue from day to day
    whether or not earned or declared.
    Such dividends shall be payable before any dividends shall be paid,
    declared, or set apart for the common shares, and shall be
    cumulative so that if for any dividend period such dividends on the
    outstanding preferred shares at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per
    annum of the par value thereof are not paid or declared and set
    apart therefor, the deficiency shall be fully paid or declared and
    set apart for payment, without interest, before any distribution, by
    dividend or otherwise, shall be paid on, declared, or set apart for
    the common shares.
    (b)    On any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Corporation, the
    holders of the preferred shares shall receive an amount equal to
    the par value of such shares plus any dividends declared and unpaid
    thereon, and no more, before any amount shall be paid to the
    holders of the common shares. If the assets of the Corporation
    should be insufficient to permit payment to the preferred share-
    holders of their full preferential amounts as herein provided, then
    such assets shall be distributed ratably among the outstanding
    preferred shares. Subject to such preferential rights, the holders
    of the common shares shall receive, ratably, all remaining assets of
    the Corporation. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation
    with or into any other corporation or a sale of all or substantially
    all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed a
    liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation within the
    meaning of this paragraph.
    (c)    The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, may at
    any time redeem the whole, or from time to time redeem any part,
    of the preferred shares outstanding by paying in cash therefor the
    sum of $95.00 per share, plus all dividends declared but unpaid
    thereon as provided in this Article Four to and including the date
    of redemption, hereinafter referred to as the "redemptive price,"
    and by giving to each preferred shareholder of record at his last
    known address, as shown on the records of the Corporation, at least
    twenty (20), but not more than fifty (50), days' prior notice
    personally or in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, stating the class
    or series or part of the class or series of shares to be redeemed and
    2
    HERR 000076
    the date and plan of redemption, the redemptive price, and the
    place where the shareholders may obtain payment of the redemp-
    tive price on surrender of their respective share certificates,
    hereinafter called the "redemption notice." Should only a part of
    the outstanding preferred shares be redeemed, such redemption
    shall be effected by lot, or pro rata, as prescribed by the Board of
    Directors. On or after the date fixed for redemption, each holder
    of shares called for redemption shall surrender his certificate for
    such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in the
    redemption notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive
    payment of the redemptive price. Should less than all the shares
    represented by any surrendered certificate be redeemed, a new
    certificate for the unredeemed shares shall be issued. If the
    redemption notice is duly given and if sufficient funds are available
    therefor on the date fixed for redemption, then, whether or not the
    certificates evidencing the shares to be redeemed are surrendered,
    all rights with respect to such shares shall terminate on the date
    fixed for redemption, except for the right of the holders to receive
    the redemption price, without interest, on surrender of their
    certificate therefor.
    (d)   If, on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of preferred shares
    as herein provided, the Corporation deposits with any bank or trust
    company in Texas, or any bank or trust company in the United
    States duly appointing and acting as transfer agent for the Cor-
    poration, as a trust fund, a sum sufficient to redeem, on the date
    fixed for redemption thereof, the shares called for redemption,
    with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust
    company to publish the notice of redemption thereof, or to
    complete such publication if theretofore commenced, and to pay,
    on and after the date fixed for redemption or prior thereto, the
    redemptive price of the shares to their respective holders on
    surrender of their share certificates, then from and after the date
    of the deposit, even though such date may be prior to the date
    fixed for redemption, the shares so called shall be deemed to be
    redeemed and dividends on those shares shall cease to accrue after
    the date fixed for redemption. The deposit shall be deemed to
    constitute full payment of the shares to their holders and from and
    after the date of the deposit, the shares shall be deemed to be no
    longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be
    shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights
    with respect thereto, except the right to receive from the bank or
    trust company payment of the redemptive price of the shares,
    without interest, on surrender of their certificates therefor.
    (e)   Shares redeemed by the Corporation shall be restored to the status
    of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation.
    (f)   Except where otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation
    or by law, the holders of the common shares shall have the
    3
    HERR 000077
    exclusive voting rights and powers, including the exclusive right to
    notice of shareholders' meetings.
    ARTICLE FIVE: PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS DENIED
    No holder of any shares of common stock or preferred stock shall have
    any preemptive or preferential right to receive, purchase, or subscribe to (a) any
    unissued or treasury shares of any class of stock (whether now or hereafter
    authorized) of the Corporation, (b) any obligations, evidences of indebtedness, or
    other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for, or
    carrying or accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase, or subscribe to, any
    such unissued or treasury shares, (c) any right of subscription to or right to
    receive, or any warrant or option for the purchase of, any of the foregoing
    securities, or (d) any other securities that may be issued or sold by the
    Corporation.
    ARTICLE SIX: COMMENCING BUSINESS
    The Corporation will not commence business until it has received con-
    sideration for the issuance of its shares amounting to One Thousand Dollars
    ($1,000.00) in value and consisting of money, labor done, or property actually
    received.
    ARTICLE SEVEN: CUMULATIVE VOTING

    ARTICLE TEN: INTERESTED PARTIES
    A contract or transaction between the Corporation and any other Person
    (as used herein the term "Person" means an individual, firm, trust, partnership,
    joint venture, association, corporation, political subdivision or instrumentality,
    or other entity) shall not be affected or invalidated by the fact that (a) any
    director, officer, or security holder of the Corporation is also a party to, or has a
    direct or indirect interest in, such contract or transaction; or (b) any director,
    officer, or security holder of the Corporation is in any way connected with such
    other Person or with any of its officers or directors.
    Every person who may become a director of the Corporation is hereby
    relieved from any liability that might otherwise exist from contracting with the
    Corporation for the benefit of himself or of any Person in which he has any
    interest, whether or not the interested director's presence at a meeting or his
    vote or votes were necessary to obligate the Corporation in such transaction, if
    such interest shall have been disclosed to, or known to, the Corporation's
    directors or shareholders who shall have approved such transaction.
    ARTICLE ELEVEN: INDEMNIFICATION
    Section A. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
    party or is threatened with being made a party to any threatened, pending, or
    completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
    investigative (all such actions, suits, and proceedings and accompanying modi-
    fiers being comprehended by the term "Proceeding") (excluding actions by, or in
    the right of, the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
    or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
    Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another Person. Such
    indemnification may be made only against those expenses (including attorneys'
    fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
    incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if (i) he is successful
    on the merits or otherwise; or (ii) he acted in the transaction which is the subject
    of the Proceeding in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
    or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
    criminal Proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
    unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
    conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
    itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
    manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest
    of the Corporation, nor, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that he had
    reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
    Section B. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
    party or is threatened with being made a party to a Proceeding by or in the right
    of the Corporation by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
    the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
    director, officer, employee, or agent of another Person. Such indemnification
    may be made against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
    5
    HERR 000079
    incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
    Proceeding if (1) he is successful on the merits or otherwise; or (ii) he acted in
    the transaction which is the subject of the Proceeding in good faith and in a
    manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the
    Corporation. However, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim,
    issue, or matter in relation to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
    liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
    Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing exception, indemnification may be
    made to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall
    determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view
    of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
    to indemnification for such expenses as the court of appropriate jurisdiction shall
    deem proper.
    Section C. Any indemnification under Section A or Section B of this
    Article (other than one ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation only
    upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the
    circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
    such Section. Such determination shall be made by the Board of Directors by a
    majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
    Proceeding; or, if such a quorum is not obtainable (or, even if obtainable, if a
    quorum of disinterested directors so directs), by independent legal counsel in a
    written opinion, or by the shareholders of the Corporation; or through such
    procedures as shall be authorized in the bylaws of the Corporation.
    Section D. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal Proceeding
    may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
    Proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors or other appropriate body or
    party in the manner provided in Section C of this Article only when the
    Corporation has received an undertaking by or on behalf of the person who is to
    receive such payment to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
    determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
    authorized in this Article.
    Section E. In determining whether the standard of conduct set forth in
    Section A or Section B has been met, it may be determined that a person has met
    the standard as to some matters but not as to others, and the amount of
    indemnification may be accordingly prorated.
    Section F. The indemnification provided by Sections A through E shall not
    be exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, bylaw,
    agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise.
    Section G. The indemnification provided by Sections A through E shall
    inure to the heirs, executors, and administrators of any person entitled to
    indemnification under this Article.
    Section H. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on any
    person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving
    at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
    6
    HERR 000080
    another Person against any liability incurred by him in any such position, or
    arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the
    power to indemnify him against such liability under Sections A through E.
    ARTICLE TWELVE: REPURCHASE OF STOCK
    The Corporation is authorized to purchase, directly or indirectly, its own
    shares to the extent of the aggregate of the unrestricted capital surplus and
    unrestricted reduction surplus available therefor, without submitting such pur-
    chase to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation.
    ARTICLE THIRTEEN: AUTHORITY TO BORROW
    The Board of Directors is expressly authorized, without the consent of the
    stockholders, except so far as such consent is herein or by law provided, to issue
    and sell or otherwise dispose of, for any purpose, the Corporation's bonds,
    debentures, notes or other securities or obligations, upon such terms and for such
    consideration as the Board of Directors shall deem advisable and to authorize
    and cause to be executed mortgages, pledges, charges and liens upon all or part
    of the real and personal property rights, interest and franchise of the Corpor-
    ation, including contract rights, whether at the time owned or thereafter
    acquired.

    Dear Preferred Stock. Shareholder:
    (809 375-3921 Phone
    (8019 3724230 Fax                      This letter is to notify you that the board of directors (the "Board')
    cebargees@kerringbantcom        of Herring Bancorp, Inc_ (the "Coneeleeny") has called for the retiene0oe
    (the "Redemption") of your outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (the
    "Preferred Stock") of the Company on November 20, 2006.
    Ae you know on July 26, 2006, our Board approved taking the
    necessary acts for the Company to become an "S corporgon" under the
    Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to become eligible
    to reeve the Subchapter S election, the Company is. 9nly allowed to have
    one class of outstanding capital stock, and voting rights between shares of
    stork are disregarded for determining whet & a company has more than
    one bass of stock. At the current time, the Company has a number of
    outstanding classes of stock, which include your Preferred Stock shares, as
    well as Class A Nonvoting Common. Stock, Class A-Series 2 Nonvoting
    Common Stock, and Class B Nonvoting Common Stook (collectively, the
    "Nonvoting Shares"). Therefore, we must currently consolidate our
    Nonvoting Shares into one class_ The Class A Nonvoting Common Stock
    and the Class B Nonvoting Common Stock will be allowed to exchange
    their shares for Common Stoek-Sefies A, and the Class A-Series 2
    Nonvoting Common Stock will be converted into a subordinated
    debetnere, As a result of this process, the Board appointed a committee to
    recommend the criteria for determining which Preferred Stock
    shareholders would be offered to exchenge their shares for the Company's
    common stock (the "Common Stock"), the nonvoting Common Stock-
    Series A (the "Common Stook-Series A") or to have their s_res
    redeemed. The Board's criteria for making this determination iriehlde4
    whether the Preferred Stock shareholder heti a bererie5 relationship with
    Herring Bank (the "Bank"), and whether they would own at least 50
    shares of Common Stock won the wnversion. If these criteria were met,
    the Board offered the Preferred Stock shareholders the option to exchange
    their shares for the Common Stock If the Prefened Stock shareholder did
    not meet these criteria, the Board determined the Preferred Stock
    shareholders would be redeemed_ Additionally, if the Preferred Stock
    shareholder did not have a banking relationship with the Bank, we would
    offer them the option of either e:cchanging their shares for the nonvoting
    Common Stock-Series A or having their shares redeemed. From our
