SAN DIEGO, Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to CenturyLink. Level 3 operates as a facilities-based provider of a range of integrated communications services.
On October 31, 2016, Level 3 announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with CenturyLink. Under terms of the agreement, Level 3 shareholders will receive $26.50 per share in cash and a fixed exchange ratio of 1.4286 shares of CenturyLink stock for each Level 3 share they own.
The investigation concerns whether the Level 3 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 Level 3 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 $66.00 price target on the stock.
If you are a shareholder of Level 3 and believe the proposed buyout price is too low and 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.
