SAN DIEGO, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights
law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation
into whether the board members of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc.
(NYSE: KKD) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the
proposed sale of the Company to JAB Holding Company.
Additional Information:
On May 9, 2016, Krispy Kreme
announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with JAB.
Under the terms of the agreement, Krispy Kreme shareholders will
receive $21.00 in cash for each share
held.
The investigation concerns whether the Krispy Kreme board failed
to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including
whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the
acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible
for Krispy Kreme shares of common stock. Nationally recognized
Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal
price represents adequate consideration, especially given
one Wall Street analyst has a $24.00
price target on the stock.
If you are a shareholder of Krispy Kreme and believe the
proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning
more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies,
please contact lead analyst Jim
Baker (jimb@johnsonandweaver.com) at 619-814-4471. If
