Lawsuit Overview
August 07, 2017 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investor, who currently holds shares of Care Capital Properties Inc (NYSE:CCP), filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the proposed takeover of Care Capital Properties Inc by Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc for a value of approximately $29.96 per share.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:CCP stockholders by agreeing to sell Care Capital Properties cheaply via an unfair process to Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc.
On May 7, 2017, Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. and Care Capital Properties, Inc. (NYSE:CCP) announced that they have entered into an agreement pursuant to which the two companies will combine in an all-stock merger to create a premier healthcare REIT. Under the terms of the agreement, CCP shareholders will receive 1.123 shares of Sabra common stock for each share of CCP common stock they own. Based on a closing price of $26.68 per NASDAQ:SBRA shares investors in Care Capital Properties Inc (NYSE:CCP) will receive a value of approximately $29.96 per NYSE:CCP share.
However, plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration NYSE:CCP shareholders will receive with Sabra Health Care REIT’s offer is grossly inadequate and undervalues Care Capital Properties, Inc. Indeed, at least one analyst has set the high target price for NYSE:CCP shares at $32.00 per share,.
