Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been
filed in New York state court challenging the proposed acquisition
of Marvel Entertainment, Inc. ("Marvel" or the "Company") (NYSE:
MVL). The complaint arises out of the announcement by Marvel
stating that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with
Walt Disney Co. ("Walt Disney") (NYSE: DIS). Under the terms of the
agreement, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per
share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each
Marvel share they own for a total transaction value of
approximately $4 billion. The transaction values Marvel shares at
approximately $50 per share, based on the $26.84 closing price of
Walt Disney stock the day prior to the announcement. The complaint
alleges that the consideration offered is inadequate because it is
less than the intrinsic value of the Company.
For fiscal year 2008, Marvel has reported revenues of $676
million and net income of $205 million, as compared to revenues of
$485 million and income of $139 million for fiscal year 2007.
The companies expect to consummate the transaction before the
end of 2009, subject to customary closing conditions, including all
necessary regulatory and stockholder approvals.
