Business Wire
Shareholder rights firm Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an
investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of the law by members of the board of directors of
EasyLink Services International Corporation (NASDAQ: ESIC) in
connection with their efforts to sell the company to OpenText
Corporation (TSX: OTC). Concerned shareholders who would like more
information about their rights and potential remedies can contact
attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at (800) 350-6003,
info@robbinsumeda.com, or via the shareholder information form on
the firm's website.
On May 1, 2012, EasyLink announced that it had entered into a
definitive merger agreement to be acquired by OpenText. According
to the terms of the deal, OpenText will acquire all outstanding
shares of EasyLink through an all-cash transaction. Pursuant to the
agreement, EasyLink shareholders will receive $7.25 for each share
of the company they own. The transaction is expected to close in
mid to late summer 2012.
Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether EasyLink's
board is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and
adequately compensate shareholders in light of the company's recent
positive financial results. On March 12, 2012, EasyLink reported
financial results for the second quarter of 2012 that represented
substantial increases over 2011 figures. Specifically, the company
reported that net income for the quarter increased by 190% to $2.9
million. Additionally, at least one leading market analyst released
a target price for EasyLink of $8.00 per share, substantially above
the price offered by OpenText.
Robbins Umeda LLP attorneys highlight that EasyLink shareholders
have the option to file a class action lawsuit against the company
to secure the best possible price for the company's shareholders
and the disclosure of material information to shareholders so they
can vote on the transaction in an informed manner.
