Business Wire
The Law Office of Abe Shainberg is investigating the Board of
Directors of Keithley Instruments, Inc. (NYSE: KEI) for possible
breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in
connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Danaher
Corporation (“Danaher”) (NYSE: DHR). Under the terms of the
transaction, Keithley shareholders will receive $21.60 in cash for
each share of Keithley common stock and Class B common stock they
own for a total transaction value of approximately $300 million net
of cash to be assumed. The acquisition has been unanimously
approved by the Keithley Board of Directors.
A partnership affiliate with Joseph P. Keithley, Chairman,
President and CEO of Keithley, has agreed to vote a number of Class
B Common Shares representing 19.99% of the voting power of the
Company in favor of the merger.
The investigation concerns whether the Keithley Board of
Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Keithley stockholders
by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this
transaction and whether Danaher is underpaying for Keithley shares.
In addition, the investigation concerns whether the definitive
proxy statement filed by the company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on October 25, 2010 contains all material
information that should be disclosed to shareholders.
