Lorillard Shareholder Alert - Buyout Of Lorillard, Inc (NYSE: LO) - National Securities Law Firm Seeks Higher Price For Shareholders
NEW YORK, July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, has announced that it is investigating the acquisition of Lorillard Inc. (NYSE: LO) on behalf of investors. Reynolds American Inc.("RAI") and Lorillard announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement in which RAI has agreed to acquire Lorillard in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at $68.88 per Lorillard share. Under the terms of the transaction, Lorillard shareholders will receive, for each Lorillard share, $50.50 in cash and 0.2909 of a share in RAI stock at closing, representing $68.88 per share based on RAI's closing share price yesterday.
The investigation concerns whether the senior management and board of directors of Lorillard engaged in a full and fair auction and process to insure that shareholders received the maximum value for their shares, whether the implied price of $68.88 is unfairly low, and whether the management of Lorillard received any benefits for their own self interests that are not also being shared with other shareholders of Lorillard.
