Investigation Overview
January 14, 2014 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of American Pacific Corporation (NASDAQ:APFC) shares, was announced concerning whether the takeover of American Pacific Corporation by H.I.G. Capital, LLC for $46.50 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:APFC stockholders.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of American Pacific Corporation (. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:APFC investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On January 10, 2014, American Pacific Corporation announced that it has entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by investment funds managed by H.I.G. Capital, LLC in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $392.0 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, affiliates of H.I.G. Capital, LLC will, no later than January 24, 2014, commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of American Pacific Corporation common stock at a price of $46.50 per share.
