CON-WAY (CNW) MERGER INVESTIGATION ALERT - Andrews & Springer LLC Is Seeking More Cash for Shareholders of Con-way Inc.
(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 Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) (“Con-way” or the “Company”) relating to the sale of the Company to XPO Logistics, Inc. (“XPO”). On September 9, 2015, the two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which XPO will acquire Con-way in a merger via a tender offer. As a result of the merger, Con-way shareholders are only anticipated to receive $47.60 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Con-way.
Our investigation so far has revealed that the consideration Con-way shareholders are expected to receive is significantly inadequate. Tellingly, Con-way’s stock has already recently traded above the $47.60 consideration, closing at $47.63 per share on September 17, 2015. While the Company claims that shareholders will receive a “premium” for their shares, in reality this premium is below the average 41% one-day premium in comparable mergers in the past three (3) years. The $47.60 consideration is also significantly lower than the $59.00 price target set by Thompson Davis & Company and a $50.00 price target set by Buckingham Research Group.
Andrews & Springer is investigating whether the Con-way Board of Directors is breaching their fiduciary duties to shareholders and whether Con-way’s directors have failed to maximize shareholder value.
