DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC ], founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of [ Powers Taylor, LLP ] are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Ness Technologies, Inc. (aNess Technologiesa or aNSTCa) (NASDAQ: NSTC) related to the acquisition of Ness Technologies by the private equity firm Citi Venture Capital International.
The definitive acquisition agreement, which was announced on June 10, 2011, involves an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $307 million. Under the proposed buyout, Ness Technologies shareholders will receive only $7.75 in cash for each share of Ness Technologies/NSTC common stock they hold.
The firms are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to Ness Technologies shareholders, whether the shareholders are being underpaid for their stock, and whether Ness Technologiesa™ Board of Directors acted in the shareholdersa™ best interests. In particular, although the acquisition price represents an approximate 17% premium over Ness Technologiesa™ closing price the day before the announcement, at least one analyst has set a target price of $8.00 per share for Ness Technologies stock. Further, the book value for Ness Technologies shares for the prior quarter was $9.34 per share, and on May 4, 2011 Ness Technologies reported positive first quarter 2011 earnings results. Based on these and other factors, the firms are investigating whether the acquisition price is fair to Ness Technologiesa™ shareholders.
