WILMINGTON, Del., July 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, is investigating potential breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Board of Directors of MICROS Systems, Inc. ("Micros" or the "Company") relating to the sale of the Company to Oracle Corp. ("Oracle"). On June 23, 2014, the two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Oracle will acquire Micros in a merger via a tender offer in a merger valued at roughly $5.3 billion. As a result of the merger, Micros shareholders are only anticipated to receive $68.00 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Micros they own.
The consideration that Micros shareholders are expected to receive does not appear to offer a premium based on recent news. On July 3, 2014, Bloomberg reported that Micros received an unsolicited, non-binding written indication of interest from a financial sponsor on June 17, 2014 to acquire the Company for a purchase price range of $67-$70 per share. Remarkably, Bloomberg further reported that Micros did not respond to the financial sponsor "due to [an] exclusivity agreement with Oracle." Additionally, reports released by a Yahoo! Finance analyst reflect a $68 per share price target, the same consideration Micros shareholders are expected to receive.
In light of this information, Andrews & Springer is investigating whether Micros directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the company and maximize shareholder value.
