WeissLaw LLP: MedAssets, Inc. Acquisition By Pamplona Capital Management May Not Be In The Best Interest Of MDAS Shareholders
NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The fairness of the proposed acquisition of MedAssets, Inc. ("MDAS" or the "Company") by Pamplona Capital Management ("Pamplona") is the subject of an investigation by WeissLaw LLP, a national class action, shareholder rights law firm. The investigation is focusing on possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of MDAS for agreeing to sell the Company to Pamplona. On November 2, 2015, the Company announced it had reached a definitive agreement for Pamplona to acquire all outstanding shares of MDAS in a transaction valued at approximately $2.7 billion, inclusive of debt. Under the terms of the agreement, MDAS shareholders will receive $31.35 in cash for each MDAS share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether MDAS's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, the Company recently announced positive financial results for the third quarter of 2015. It reported total net revenues of $190.0 million as compared with $175.7 million in the same period of the previous year, representing an increase of $14.3 million year-over-year.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether MDAS's Board acted in the best interests of MDAS's public shareholders by actively shopping the Company to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement with Pamplona.
