WeissLaw LLP: iGate Corporation Acquisition by Cap Gemini S.A. May Be Against The Best Interest of IGTE Shareholders
NEW YORK, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The fairness of the proposed acquisition of iGate Corporation ("IGTE" or the "Company") by Cap Gemini S.A. ("Cap Gemini") is being investigated by WeissLaw LLP, a national class action, shareholder rights law firm. The investigation focuses on possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of IGTE for agreeing to sell the Company to Cap Gemini. On April 27, 2015, the Company announced a definitive agreement for Cap Gemini to acquire IGTE in a transaction valued at $4.04 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, IGTE shareholders will receive $48 in cash for each IGTE share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether IGTE's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, the offer price represents a premium of less 5% over the Company stock's April 24, 2015 trading price of $45.93. Additionally, prior to announcement, at least one analyst set a target price of $55.00 per IGTE share, or $7.00 above the offer price.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether IGTE's Board acted in the best interests of IGTE's public shareholders by actively shopping the Company to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement with Cap Gemini.
