SAN DIEGO, July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights
law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into
whether the board members of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CRZO) ("Carrizo") breached their fiduciary duties in connection
with the proposed sale of the Company to Callon Petroleum Company
("Callon").
On July 15, 2019, Carrizo
announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with
Callon. Under the terms of the agreement, Carrizo shareholders will
receive a fixed exchange ratio of 2.05 Callon shares for each share
of Carrizo common stock they own. This represents $13.12 per Carrizo share based on Callon's
closing common stock price on July 12,
2019.
Carrizo shareholders will be subject to the future price
fluctuation of Callon's stock price. Following the news, in
pre-market trading on July 15, 2019,
Callon stock was trading down over 11%.
The investigation concerns whether the Carrizo board failed to
satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether
the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and
whether the board obtained the best price possible for Carrizo
shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the
proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given
analysts' projections for future earnings and revenue growth; also
one Wall Street analyst has a $41.00
price target on the stock. The 52-week high for Carrizo was
$29.58.
If you are a shareholder of Carrizo and believe the
proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning
