SAN DIEGO, Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights
law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into
whether the board members of Versum Materials, Inc. (NYSE:
VSM) ("Versum") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with
the proposed sale of the Company to Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTG)
("Entegris").
On January 28, 2019, Versum
announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with
Entegris. Under the terms of the agreement, Versum stockholders
will receive 1.120 shares of Entegris for each existing Versum
share. Based on Friday's stock closing prices, that values Versum
shares at $35.08. However,
shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of
Entegris' stock price.
The investigation concerns whether the Versum board failed to
satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether
the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and
whether the board obtained the best price possible for Versum
shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the
proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given
that one Wall Street analyst has a $47 price target on the stock, The 52-week high
for Versum was $41.35.
