WeissLaw is investigating whether RTEC's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $32.00, or approximately $5.00 above the per-share consideration.
WeissLaw is also concerned whether the deal creates shareholder value for Rudolph's shareholders. Specifically, WeissLaw is investigating whether Rudolph's Board conducted a fair process in agreeing to the proposed merger, whether the proposed merger undervalues the Company, and whether all material information related to the proposed merger is fully and fairly disclosed.
WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases. If you have information or would like legal advice concerning possible corporate wrongdoing (including insider trading, waste of corporate assets, accounting fraud, or materially misleading information), consumer fraud (including false advertising, defective products, or other deceptive business practices), or anti-trust violations, please email us at [email protected]
