WASHINGTON--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Sybase, Inc. (aSybasea or the aCompanya) (NYSE:SY) arising from the Company's announcement to be acquired by SAP America, Inc. (aSAPa). Under the terms of the agreement, SAP will make a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Sybase common stock at $65.00 per share for a total value of approximately $5.8 billion.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the consideration to Sybase shareholders and the process by which Sybasea™s Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction. In particular, the merger agreement includes a $150 million termination fee and a clause prohibiting the Board from discussing or seeking any superior proposals. Sybase has also granted SAP a atop-upa option to bring SAPa™s ownership of the Company's stock to one share more than 90% to help ensure the completion of the merger.
