G&K (GK) ALERT: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of G&K Services, Inc.; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of G&K Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: GK) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS). G&K provides branded uniform and facility services programs.

On August 16, 2016, G&K announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Cintas. Under the terms of the agreement, G&K stockholders will receive $97.50 a share in cash.

Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration.
