Fisher Communications, Inc. (FSCI) Investor Lawsuit to Stop Takeover by Sinclair Broadcast Group Announced by Shareholders Foun
April 22 2013 - 9:33AM
The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor, who
holds shares of Fisher Communications, Inc. (FSCI), filed a lawsuit
to stop the proposed takeover of Fisher Communications, Inc. by
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. for $41.00 per FSCI share.
Investors who purchased shares of Fisher Communications, Inc.
(FSCI) prior to April 11, 2013 and currently hold any of those FSCI
shares, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders
Foundation, Inc. at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1
(858) 779-1554.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell the company too cheaply via an
unfair process to Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.
On April 11, 2013, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. and Fisher
Communications, Inc. announced that they have entered into a merger
agreement whereby Sinclair Broadcast Group, will acquire Fisher
Communications in a merger transaction valued at
approximately $373.3 million. Under the terms of the
agreement, Fisher Communications shareholders will
receive $41.00 in cash for each share of Fisher
Communications common stock they own.
However, the plaintiff claims that the $41.00-offer is too low
and undervalues the company. Indeed, after the takeover
announcement shares of Fisher Communications, Inc. rose in the open
market above the current offer. In fact, FSCI shares traded on
April 16, 2013, as high as $41.39 per share. Furthermore the
plaintiff alleges that the takeover process is also unfair to FSCI
stockholders.
On April 19, 2013, FSCI shares closed at $41.22 per share.
Those who currently are investors in Fisher Communications, Inc.
(FSCI) shares and purchased a substantial amount of FSCI shares
before the announcement have certain options and should contact the
Shareholders Foundation.
