ANN’s long-term financial outlook is positive and yet shareholders will receive the equivalent of only $47 per share.  ascena is well aware of ANN’s improving financial metrics and is purchasing ANN at a substantial discount.   The merger agreement unreasonably limits prospective bids by (i) prohibiting solicitation of any further bids, and (ii) imposing a termination penalty should ANN receive and accept a superior bid.  ANN’s insiders and their affiliates own significant stock, and will receive millions of dollars as part of change of control arrangements.  These insiders can unduly influence a sale of ANN, which may not be in the best interests of non-insider shareholders.  Our investigation centers on the conduct of ANN’s Board of Directors, who have unanimously approved the transaction, and whether they are (i) fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders, and (ii) obtaining a fair and reasonable price for ANN given its current financial condition and prospects.
