An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of PHH Corporation (NYSE:PHH), was announced concerning whether the takeover of PHH Corporation by Ocwen Financial Corporation is unfair to NYSE:PHH stockholders.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of PHH Corporation breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:PHH investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On February 27, 2018 , PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) announced that it has entered into an agreement in which Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE: OCN) will acquire all of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock in an all cash transaction valued at $360 million, or $11.00per fully-diluted share.
