August 17, 2016 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Press Ganey Holdings Inc (NYSE:PGND), was announced concerning whether the takeover of Press Ganey Holdings Inc by EQT Equity fund EQT VII for $40.50 per share is unfair to NYSE:PGND stockholders.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Press Ganey Holdings Inc breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:PGND investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On August 9, 2016, Press Ganey Holdings Inc (NYSE:PGND) announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by EQT Equity fund EQT VII (EQT), part of the global private equity group EQT. Under the terms of the agreement, EQT will acquire all of Press Ganey Holdings Incs (NYSE:PGND) common stock. Shareholders of record will receive $40.50 in cash per share of Press Ganey Holdings Inc (NYSE:PGND) common stock, resulting in an enterprise value of approximately $2.35 billion.

However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price fro NYSE:PGND shares at $45.00 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NYSE:PGND stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Press Ganey Holdings 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.
