Shareholders Foundation Announces Bway Holding Company Investor Lawsuit Against BWY Board of Directors
April 12 2010 - 9:40AM
The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that a lawsuit has been
filed in Georgia State Court on behalf of current investors in Bway
Holding Company (NYSE:BWY), who purchased their BWY shares before
March 29, 2010, over alleged breach of their fiduciary duties by
members of the Bway board of directors and others.
On March 29, 2010 Bway Holding Company (NYSE:BWY) announced it
has entered into an agreement to be acquired by a company organized
by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC in a transaction with a total
value of approximately $915 million, including the assumption of
debt. Under the agreement, Bway shareholders will receive $20.00
cash for each share of Bway common stock they own. According to
Bway Holding Company the agreement was unanimously approved by
Bway's Board of Directors and the offer represents a premium, based
on the closing price on March 26, 2010, of approximately 25%
percent over the 30 day average closing trading price and 16% over
the 90 day average closing trading price.
Shares of Bway Holding Company (NYSE:BWY) traded after the
announcement at $20.44 per share, and at almost $18 per share the
trading day before the news.
According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges, among other
things, breach of fiduciary duty in connection with an unfair
process and an unfair price. The directors of Bway Holding Company
failed to maximize shareholder value and the offer does not reflect
the true inherent value of the company, so the lawsuit.
Those who currently are investors in shares of Bway Holding
Company (NYSE:BWY) and purchased their shares before March 29,
2010, should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. by e-mail at
