The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of SciQuest, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:SQI investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On May 31, 2016, SciQuest, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQI) announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Accel-KKR for $17.75 per share in cash, representing a total equity value of approximately $509 million.
However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:SQI shares at $19.50 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ:SQI stockholders.

SciQuest, Inc. reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $90.23 million in 2013 to $105.35 million in 2015 and that its Net Loss of $4.73 million in 2013 turned into a Net Income of $1.86 million in 2015. Shares of SciQuest, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQI) reached in early 2014 as high as $30.41 per share.
