WeissLaw LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Monster Worldwide, Inc.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP announced that it commenced a class action in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of shareholders of Monster Worldwide, Inc. ("Monster"), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the proposed acquisition of Monster by affiliates of Randstad Holding NV.
On August 9, 2016, Monster and Randstad announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which a Randstad affiliate will commence a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Monster common stock for $3.40 per share. The complaint seeks injunctive relief on behalf of the named plaintiff and all Monster shareholders. The plaintiff is represented by WeissLaw which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
The complaint alleges that in an attempt to secure shareholder approval for the merger, the defendants filed a materially false and/or misleading Solicitation/Recommendation Statement with the SEC in violation of the Exchange Act. The omitted and/or misrepresented information is believed to be material to Monster shareholders' ability to make an informed decision whether to approve the proposed transaction.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than sixty days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Joshua M. Rubin of WeissLaw at 888.593.4771, or by e-mail at [email protected]. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
