YUME Buyout Alert - National Securities Law Firm Seeks Higher Price for YuMe Shareholders in Connection with Proposed Buyout, and Encourages Shareholders to Contact Law Firm for More Information

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it is investigating the potential sale of YuMe, Inc. (NYSE: YUME) ("YuMe" or the "Company") on behalf of its shareholders.  YuMe announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by RhythmOne PLC in a cash and stock deal valued at approximately $185 million.  RhythmOne plans to complete the acquisition of YuMe by paying approximately one-third of the offer price in cash and balance approximately two-thirds in stock of the Company. Accordingly, shareholders of YuMe will receive $1.70 (approximately £1.32) in cash and balance in 0.7325 Consolidated Shares of RhythmOne for each YuMe's share. Based on the transaction price, shareholders of YuMe will receive $5.25 for each YuMe's share held by them.

Our investigation has determined that the offer price of only $5.25 per share, unfairly under-values the true going forward inherent value of YuMe and that shareholders may not be receiving the maximum value for their shares. Indeed, the stock hit a high of $6.06 per share within the past year.  Further, the Company has over $73 million of cash on its balance sheet.  The investigation further seeks to determine whether YuMe senior management is entering into this deal for its own self-interests to the detriment of the Company's shareholders.

If you are a shareholder of YuMe and would like additional information as to how the proposed acquisition may affect your rights as a shareholder, and how you may be eligible to obtain a higher price for your shares, please contact us at no cost at:
