United Online (UNTD) Alert: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of United Online, Inc.; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of United Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTD) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY).

Additional Information:
United Online provides consumer products and services over the Internet in the United States and internationally.

On May 4, 2016, United Online announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with B. Riley. Under the terms of the agreement, United Online shareholders will receive $11.00 in cash for each share held.

The investigation concerns whether the United Online board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for United Online shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration, especially given one Wall Street analyst has a $19.50 price target on the stock. Additionally, United Online has no long term debt and over $100 million in cash. United Online stock has traded as high as $17.79 in the last year.

If you are a shareholder of United Online and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker ([email protected]) at 619-814-4471. If emailing, please include a phone number where you can be reached.
