NEW YORK, March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Julie & Holleman LLP is investigating the proposed $1.40 per share ($375 million total) going-private acquisition of Berkshire Grey, Inc. (Nasdaq: BGRY) by the company's largest shareholder, SoftBank Group Corp.

Berkshire Grey is a pioneer in transformative, AI-enabled robotic technologies that address use cases in retail, eCommerce, grocery, 3PL, and package handling companies. The company went public in 2021 through a "de-SPAC" transaction with Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp (RAAC), which valued the company at $2.7 billion. Since then, management has overseen an extraordinary drop in stock value.
On March 24, 2023, Berkshire Grey announced that affiliates SoftBank agreed to acquire the company for $1.40 per share in cash, which values the company at approximately $375 million. As part of the deal, Berkshire Grey's management is expected to stay on with the company. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023.
Julie & Holleman is investigating potential legal claims regarding the fairness of the $1.40 per share merger price and also potential conflicts of interest. Berkshire Grey's stock traded above $2.50 per share only six months ago, and the company has since posted solid financial returns. This price also represents a small fraction to the company's value when it went public through the de-SPAC transaction with RAAC. Separately, that the company's largest shareholder, SoftBank, wants to buy the company and continue partnering with existing management suggests that the biggest stakeholders know that the company will be worth far more in the future.
