WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, is investigating potential breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Board of Directors of Inteliquent, Inc. (“Inteliquent” or the “Company”) relating to the sale of the Company to affiliates of private equity firm GTCR, LLC (“GTCR”). On November 2, 2016, the two parties announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which GTCR will acquire Inteliquent in a merger in a deal worth $800 million. As a result of the merger, Inteliquent shareholders are only anticipated to receive $23.00 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Inteliquent.
Andrews & Springer’s investigation so far has revealed that the consideration Inteliquent shareholders are expected to receive is inadequate. The consideration is less than the $24.00 per share price target set by BWS Financial in August 2016, just three months before the merger was announced. While the Company claims that shareholders will receive a premium for their shares, the $23.00 per share consideration is still below Inteliquent’s 52-week high of $23.20. Our investigation has also revealed that the process leading up to the announcement of the merger appears to have significant conflicts of interest thus making the process and consideration unfair.
