Xerox Corp. shareholder Darwin Deason sued to block a reorganization that would effectively reverse its $6.2 billion takeover of the company he founded, Affiliated Computer Services Inc.

Deason, 76, argues the split, planned for completion by the end of the year, would leave him with an investment in an “unattractive, low-growth” document technology business, according to a complaint filed Wednesday in federal court in Dallas.
