SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Ceres, Inc. And Encourages Investors To ...
Source: Business Wire
The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERE) (“Ceres” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of Ceres by Land O’ Lakes, Inc.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ceres shareholders are anticipated to receive $0.40 in cash for each share of Ceres common stock held. The transaction may undervalue the Company and would result in no real gain or a loss for many long-term Ceres shareholders, especially given that the Company’s 52-week high was $43.27.
The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock. For example, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Ceres stock at $4.00 per share.
If you currently own common stock of Ceres and believe that the proposed buyout price is too low, or you would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted by Brower Piven, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentinvestigations.html.
