July 10, 2017 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI), was announced concerning whether the takeover of HSN, Inc. by Liberty Interactive Corporation for a value of $40.26 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:HSNI stockholders.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of HSN, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:HSNI investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On, July 6, 2017 - Liberty Interactive Corporation and H HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI) announced that they have entered into an agreement whereby Liberty Interactive will acquire the 62% of HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI) it does not already own in an all-stock transaction. HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI) shareholders will receive fixed consideration of 1.65 shares of Series A QVC Group common stock for every share of HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI) 2 common stock. Based on the Series A QVC Group common stocks closing price as of July 5, 2017 and the number of HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI) undiluted shares outstanding as of May 1, 2017, this equates to a total enterprise value for HSNi of $2.6 billion, an equity value of $2.1 billion, and consideration of $40.36 per HSN, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSNI) share.

However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:HSNI shares at $48.00 per share and that NASDAQ:HSNI shares reached in the open market in 2015 as high as $77.44 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to HSN, Inc.
