Resource America Inc. Acquisition May Not Be in the Best Interests of REXI Shareholders
NEW YORK, June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Resource America Inc. ("REXI" or the "Company") in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by CIII Capital Partners LLC ("CIII"). On May 23, 2016, the Company announced it had reached a definitive agreement for CIII to acquire all outstanding shares of REXI in a transaction valued at approximately $207 million. Under the terms of the agreement, REXI shareholders will receive $9.78 in cash for each REXI share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether REXI's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $11.00 per share, or $1.22 above the offer price.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether REXI's Board acted in the best interests of REXI's public shareholders to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
