NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (NYSE: CTB) breached their fiduciary duties or violated the federal securities laws in connection with the company’s acquisition by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT).

On February 22, 2021, Cooper announced that it had signed an agreement to be acquired by Goodyear for approximately $2.8 billion. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Cooper stockholders will receive $41.75 in cash and 0.907 shares of Goodyear common stock for each share of Cooper common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the second half of 2021.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Cooper’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate merger agreement. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for Cooper’s stockholders.
