NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The Law Offices of Vincent Wong are investigating the Board of Directors of Blackboard Inc.

Under the terms of the proposed deal, Blackboard stockholders will receive $45.00 per share in cash. The transaction has a total value of approximately $1.64 billion, plus the assumption of approximately $130 million in net debt.
