Investigation Overview
Aug. 14, 2012 (Shareholders Foundation) -- The proposed takeover of Pervasive Software Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW) at $8.50 per share prompted an investigation on behalf of current investors in NASDAQ:PVSW shares concerning whether the offer is unfair and undervalues the company.
On August 13, 2012, Actian Corporation (Actian) announced that it has proposed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Pervasive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW) common stock for $8.50 per share in cash, in a transaction valued at approximately $154 million.
However, Pervasive Softwares performance improved lately. For instance, it reported that its Total Revenue rose from $47.22 million for the 12 months period that ended on June 30, 2009, to $49.16 million for the 12 months period that ended on June 30, 2012. Additionally, shares of Pervasive Software Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW) grew from as low as $3.45 in February 2009 to as high as $7.485 per share in June 2012.
Therefore the investigation by a law firm on behalf of NASDAQ:PVSW investors focuses on whether the Pervasive Software Inc Board of Directors will undertake adequate sales process, adequately shop the company before entering into the transaction, maximize shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and act in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
