Robbins Umeda LLP Announces an Investigation of the Acquisition of FGX International Holdings Limited by Essilor International
January 27 2010 - 1:05PM
Business Wire
Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible
breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by
members of the Board of Directors of FGX International Holdings
Limited ("FGX") (NASDAQ: FGXI) in connection with their actions in
causing FGX to enter into a definitive merger agreement with
Essilor International ("Essilor") through an all-cash tender offer.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, FGX's shareholders will
receive $19.75 per share in cash for each share of FGX they own
upon completion of the merger. The transaction is valued at
approximately $565 million, including the assumption of FGX's debt
of approximately $100 million. The deal is expected to close later
this year. FGX will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Essilor
if the tender is successful and the deal closes. Notably, a
termination fee of approximately $18.3 million is in place, payable
by FGX to Essilor if the acquisition is not successful.
Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether FGX's Board
of Directors undertook a fair process to obtain a fair price for
all shareholders of FGX.
