Guidance(GUID) Alert: J&W Investigates Proposed Sale of Guidance Software, Inc.; Is $7.10a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP (J&W) has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Guidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: GUID) ("Guidance") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to OpenText.

On July 26, 2017, Guidance announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with OpenText. Terms of the deal call for shareholders to receive $7.10 per share for each share of Guidance stock they own.

The investigation concerns whether the Guidance board failed to satisfy its 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 Guidance shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analysts estimated price target is $10.00 per share.
