Lawsuit for Investors in Constant Contact Inc (NASDAQ:CTCT) Against Takeover Announced by Shareholders Foundation
30 December 2015 - 2:30AM
The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor, who
currently holds shares of Constant Contact Inc (NASDAQ:CTCT), filed
a lawsuit against the proposed acquisition of Constant Contact Inc
by Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc at $32.00 per share.
Investors, who purchased shares of Constant Contact Inc
(NASDAQ:CTCT) prior to November 2, 2015, and currently hold any of
those (NASDAQ:CTCT) shares, have certain options and should contact
the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at
mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.
The plaintiff alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary
duties owed to (NASDAQ:CTCT) stockholders by agreeing to sell
Constant Contact too cheaply via an unfair process to Endurance
International Group Holdings, Inc.
On November 2, 2015, Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc
and Constant Contact Inc (NASDAQ:CTCT) announced that the two
companies have entered into an agreement under which Endurance
International will acquire all of Constant Contact's outstanding
shares of common stock for $32.00 per share in cash, valuing
Constant Contact at approximately $1.1 billion.
The plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration
(NASDAQ:CTCT) shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and
undervalues Constant Contact Inc. Indeed, five analysts have set
target prices for (NASDAQ:CTCT) ranging from a high of $50.00 per
share to $35.00 per share. In addition, shares of Constant Contact
Inc traded as recently as March 2015 as high as $43.18 per
share.
In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants employed
a fundamentally flawed and inadequate sales process. The plaintiff
says that after a three week go-shop period, defendants agreed to a
no-solicitation provision that prevents the Company from soliciting
other potential bids, that defendants agreed to an information and
matching rights provision that requires the Company to disclose
confidential information about competing bids to Endurance within
forty-eight hours, and then to negotiate in good faith for four
business days, and that defendants agreed to a termination fee of
$36 million to be paid by the Company in the event it chooses to
pursue an alternative, superior offer. The plaintiff claims that
the cumulative effect of the deal protection devices and the
standstill provisions improperly limits the Board’s ability to act
with respect to investigating and pursuing superior proposals and
alternatives.
Those who currently hold Constant Contact Inc (NASDAQ:CTCT)
