Investigation Overview
November 16, 2016 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of TubeMogul Inc (NASDAQ:TUBE), was announced concerning whether the takeover of TubeMogul Inc. by Adobe for $14.00 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:TUBE stockholders.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of TubeMogul Inc breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:TUBE investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On November 10, 2016, Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire TubeMogul Inc (NASDAQ:TUBE) for approximately $540 million net of debt and cash.

More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the TubeMogul 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.
