The Law Office of Joseph Klein is investigating the Board of
Directors of Emergent Group Inc. (AMEX: LZR) for possible breaches
of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection
with the sale of the Company to Universal Hospital Services, Inc.
(NYSE: UHS). Under the terms of the transaction, Emergent Group
shareholders will receive $8.46 in cash per outstanding share of
Emergent Group stock they own. The transaction has a total value of
$70 million, including the assumption of debt.
The investigation concerns whether the Emergent Group Board of
Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Emergent Group
stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before
entering into this transaction and whether Universal Hospital
Services is underpaying for Emergent Group shares, thus unlawfully
harming Emergent Group stockholders. Emergent Group stock traded as
high as $8.65 per share as recently as December 14, 2010. Also, the
directors and executive officers of Emergent Group, holding in the
aggregate approximately 47% of the outstanding shares, have agreed
to tender their shares in the tender offer unless it is terminated
as a result of a superior proposal.
