The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:OWW stockholders by agreeing to sell Orbitz Worldwide, Inc too cheaply via an unfair process to Expedia, Inc.

For instance, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $778.80 million in 2012 to $847.00 million in 2013 and that its Net Loss of $301.74 million in 2012 turned into a Net Income of $165.09 million in 2013. In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the process is unfair to NYSE:OWW stockholders
On March 16, 2015, NYSE:OWW shares closed at $11.76 per share.
Those who are current investors in Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:OWW) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
