The Shareholders Foundation announces that an investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of XRS Corp (NASDAQ:XRSC), was launched concerning whether the takeover of XRS by Omnitracs, LLC for $5.60 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:XRSC stockholders.
Investors who purchased shares of XRS Corp (NASDAQ:XRSC) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:XRSC 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 XRS Corp breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:XRSC investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On September 2, 2014, Omnitracs, LLC announced that it has agreed to acquire XRS Corp (NASDAQ:XRSC). Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Omnitracs will pay $5.60 per share of XRS Corp, which equates to $178 million in equity value.
However, given that certain XRS Corp shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting power of XRS Cor, including Trident Capital and Technology Crossover Ventures, have already entered into voting agreements to vote their shares in favor of the merger unless the merger agreement shall have been terminated, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ:XRSC stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the XRS 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.
