SAN DIEGO, Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of VCA Inc. (NASDAQ: WOOF) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Mars, Incorporated. VCA operates as an animal healthcare company in the United States and Canada.
On January 9, 2017, VCA announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Mars. Under terms of the agreement, Mars will acquire all of the outstanding shares of VCA for $93 per share.
The investigation concerns whether the VCA 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 VCA shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration.
If you are a shareholder of VCA 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.
