Examworks Group, Inc. Acquisition May Not Be in the Best Interests of EXAM Shareholders
NEW YORK, May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Examworks Group, Inc. ("EXAM" or the "Company") in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. ("Leonard Green"). On April 27, 2016, the Company announced it had reached a definitive agreement for Leonard Green to acquire all outstanding shares of EXAM in a transaction valued at approximately $2.2 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, EXAM shareholders will receive $35.05 in cash for each EXAM share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether EXAM's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $41.00 per share, or approximately $6.00 above the offer price. Additionally, the offer price represents a mere 3.9% premium over EXAM's April 26 trading price of $33.73, and $7.55 less than the Company's 52-week high of $42.60. Further, EXAM recently announced positive financial results. It reported revenue of $819.6 million for fiscal year 2015, representing an increase of $44.00 million, or 5.7% year-over-year when compared to the $775.6 million reported in the previous year.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether EXAM's Board acted in the best interests of EXAM's public shareholders to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
