An investigation for investors in NASDAQ:ASEI shares was announced concerning whether the takeover of Billerica, MA based American Science & Engineering is unfair.
Investors who purchased shares of American Science & Engineering, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASEI) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:ASEI 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 American Science & Engineering directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:ASEI investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On June 21, 2016, American Science & Engineering, Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS) for $37.00 per share of American Science & Engineering, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASEI) common stock in an all-cash transaction, for a total transaction value of approximately $269 million.
However, given that NASDAQ:ASEI shares traded in the open market as recently as November 2015 as high as $44.24 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ:ASEI stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the American Science & Engineering 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 July 1, 2016, shares of American Science & Engineering, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASEI) closed at $37.58 per share.
Those who are current investors in NASDAQ:ASEI shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
