NEW YORK, June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is
investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of law by the Board of Directors of Electro Rent
Corporation ("ELRC" or the "Company") in connection with the
proposed acquisition of the Company by Platinum Equity. On
May 31, 2016, ELRC and Platinum
Equity jointly announced a definitive agreement for Platinum Equity
to acquire all outstanding shares of ELRC in a transaction valued
at approximately $323.4
million. Under the terms of the agreement, ELRC
shareholders will receive $13.12 for
each ELRC share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether ELRC's Board acted to maximize
shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $15.00 per share, or $2.00 above the offer price.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether ELRC's
Board acted in the best interests of ELRC's public shareholders to
maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the
agreement. If you own ELRC shares and would like more
information about your rights or our investigation, or if you have
