CareFusion Corporation
CAREFUSION (CFN) SHAREHOLDER ALERT - Andrews & Springer LLC Is Seeking More Cash for Shareholders of CareFusion Corporation
(Wilmington, DE) Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, is investigating potential breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Board of Directors of CareFusion Corporation (NYSE: CFN) (“CareFusion” or the “Company”) relating to the sale of the Company to Becton Dickinson & Company (“Becton”). On October 5, 2014, the two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Becton will acquire CareFusion in a merger worth $12.2 billion. As a result of the merger, CareFusion shareholders are only anticipated to receive a total of $58.00 per share ($49.00 per share in cash and 0.0777 of a share of Becton) in exchange for each share of CareFusion.
Our Firm’s investigation questions the sales process leading up to the announcement of the merger given the questionable timing of the deal. Indeed, the announcement of the merger was uniquely timed after CareFusion hit its 52-week high on Friday, October 3, 2014. Our investigation also focuses on the insufficient consideration that CareFusion shareholders are expected to receive. Following the merger, CareFusion shareholders are expected to be substantially diluted, owning only 8% of the combined company. Additionally, the 0.0777 exchange ratio restricts the value that CareFusion shareholders are expected to receive by exposing CareFusion shareholders to the volatility of Becton’s share price.
