September 30, 2013 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investor, who currently hold shares of National Technical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTSC), filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the proposed takeover of National Technical Systems, Inc. by an affiliate of Aurora Capital Group for $23.00 per NASDAQ:NTSC share.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:NTSC stockholders arising out of the attempt to sell National Technical Systems, Inc. too cheaply via an unfair process to an affiliate of Aurora Capital Group.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger each share of the Company's outstanding common stock will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $23.00 per share.

It reported that its Total Revenue increased from $155.41 million for the 12 months period that ended on Jan. 31, 2012 to $184.55 million for the 12 months period that ended on Jan. 31, 2013 and that its respective Net Income rose from $0.49 million to $4.44 million.
