NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Julie & Holleman is investigating the proposed acquisition of Weber Inc. (NYSE: WEBR) by its controlling shareholder, BDT Capital Partners, LLC.

Weber is the world's leading barbecue brand, offering a comprehensive, innovative product portfolio, including charcoal, gas, pellet and electric grills, smokers, and accessories across 78 countries. Weber's largest shareholder is BDT Capital, which controlled more than 60% of the company's voting power as of its most recent proxy statement.

Julie & Holleman is investigating potential legal claims available to Weber's shareholders regarding the proposed acquisition, including claims relating to potential conflicts resulting from the fact that BDT Capital controls the company they now want to buy. Numerous members of Weber's board of directors were also designated by BDT Capital, which raises questions about the board's independence. Julie & Holleman is also concerned about the adequacy of the $8.05 per share acquisition price, as Weber's stock has traded at temporary lows due to macroeconomic pressures, and BDT Capital is pouncing on short-term trends to acquire the company at a steep discount.
