The Shareholders Foundation announces that an investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD), was initiated concerning whether the takeover of Riverbed Technology, Inc. by Thoma Bravo, LLC and Teachers’ Private Capital, the private investor department of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan for $21 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:RVBD stockholders.
Investors who purchased shares of Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:RVBD shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 – 1554.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Riverbed Technology, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:RVBD investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On December 15, 2014, Riverbed Technology (RVBD) announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by private equity investment firm Thoma Bravo, LLC and Teachers’ Private Capital, the private investor department of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. Under the terms of the agreement, Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD) stockholders will receive $21.00 per share in cash, or a total of approximately $3.6 billion.
However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:RVBD shares at $22 per share and that NASDAQ:RVBD shares reached in march 2011 over 444 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ:RVBD stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Riverbed Technology Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders’ best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
On December 18, 2014, NASDAQ:RVBD shares closed at $20.33 per share
