Websense Inc. (WBSN) Investor Lawsuit Against Takeover for $24.75 Announced by Shareholders Foundation
June 03 2013 - 9:35AM
The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor who
holds Websense Inc. (WBSN) shares filed a lawsuit to stop the
proposed takeover of Websense Inc. by Vista Equity Partners for
$24.75 per WBSN share.
Investors who purchased shares of Websense Inc. (WBSN) prior to
May 20, 2013 and currently hold any of those WBSN shares, have
certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation,
Inc. at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779 -
1554.
On May 20, 2013, Websense, Inc. announced that it has entered
into an agreement to be acquired by Vista Equity Partners. Under
the terms of the agreement, Websense Inc. stockholders will receive
$24.75 in cash for each share of Websense Inc. common stock
they hold.
However, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached
their fiduciary duties owed to WBSN stockholders arising out of the
attempt to sell Websense, Inc too cheaply via an unfair process to
Vista Equity Partners.
The plaintiff says that the $24.75-offer is unfair to WBSN
stockholders and undervalues the company.
Indeed, shares of Websense Inc. grew from under $10 in 2009 to
as high as $27.82 per share in July 2012. Furthermore, the
financial performance of Websense Inc. improved lately. For
instance, it reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from
$313.71 million in 2009 to $364.18 million in 2011 and its Net Loss
of $10.70 million turned to a Net Income of $30.99 million in
2011.
On May 31, 2013, WBSN shares closed at $24.85 per share.
Those who currently are investors in Websense Inc. (WBSN) shares
and purchased a substantial amount of WBSN shares before the
announcement have certain options and should contact the
Shareholders Foundation.
