CALAMOS ASSET MANAGEMENT (CLMS) SHAREHOLDER ALERT - Andrews & Springer LLC Is Seeking More Cash for Shareholders of Calamos A...

Business Wire
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 Calamos Asset Management, Inc. (NASDAQGS:
CLMS) (“Calamos Asset Management” or the “Company”) relating to the
sale of the Company to an entity owned by founder John Calamos, who
currently owns and controls over 77% of Calamos Asset Management’s
stock. On December 19, 2016, the two parties announced that they
reached an agreement in principle pursuant to which John Calamos
will acquire Calamos Asset Management in a going private merger via
a tender offer. As a result of the merger, Calamos Asset Management
shareholders are only anticipated to receive $8.25 per share in
cash in exchange for each share of Calamos Asset Management.
Andrews & Springer’s investigation so far has revealed that
the consideration Calamos Asset Management shareholders are
expected to receive is inadequate. While the Company claims that
shareholders will receive a premium for their shares, the deal
consideration is less than the average $8.95 per share price that
John Calamos and his affiliates paid when they repurchased over
525,000 shares of Class A stock during the third quarter of 2016.
Our investigation has also revealed that the process leading up to
the announcement of the merger appears to have significant
conflicts of interest thus making the process and consideration
unfair.
