June 22, 2015 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Lumenis Ltd (NASDAQ:LMNS), was announced concerning whether the takeover of Lumenis Ltd. by XIO Group for $14.00 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:LMNS stockholders.

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

On June 18, 2015, Lumenis Ltd (NASDAQ:LMNS) announced that it has signed an agreement to be acquired by XIO Group for $14.00 per share in cash, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $510 million.

However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:LMNS shares at $18.00 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ:LMNS stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Lumenis Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
