Why is there an investigation?
On November 19, 2024, Berry announced that it had agreed to merge with Amcor in an all-stock transaction under which each Berry shareholder will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 7.25 Amcor shares for each Berry share held at closing. The exchange values Berry at approximately $73.59 per share. After the closing, Berry shareholders will own only 37% of the combined company.
Notably, according to TipRanks, the implied deal price of $73.59 per Berry share is below the price targets for Berry of at least eight Wall Street analysts:
- Anthony Pettinari of Citi ($83.00)
- Curt Woodworth of UBS ($82.00)
- George Staphos of Bank of America ($80.00)
- Philip Ng of Jefferies ($79.00)
- Adam Samuelson of Goldman Sachs ($77.00)
- Gabrial Hajde of Wells Fargo ($77.00)
- Stefan Diaz of Morgan Stanley ($76.00)
- Michael Roxland of Truist Financial ($74.00)
“We are investigating whether the Berry Board of Directors acted in the best interests of Berry shareholders in approving the merger,” explained Joshua Fruchter, a founding partner of Wohl & Fruchter. “This includes whether the exchange ratio agreed upon is fair to Berry shareholders, and whether all material information regarding the transaction has been fully disclosed.”
