SAN DIEGO, March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Worldpay, Inc. (NYSE: WP) ("Worldpay") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE: FIS) ("Fidelity").

Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given analysts' projections for future earnings and revenue growth, also one Wall Street analyst has a $138.00 price target on the stock.
