Investigation Overview
September 19, 2014 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Concur Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNQR), was announced concerning whether the takeover of Concur Technologies, Inc. by SAP SE for $129 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:CNQR stockholders.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Concur Technologies, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:CNQR investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On September 18, 2014, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) and Concur Technologies, Inc. (NSDQ: CNQR) announced that SAPs subsidiary, SAP America, Inc., has entered into an agreement to acquire Concur Technologies, Inc.
