WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 17, 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 TIBCO Software ("TIBCO" or the "Company") relating to the sale of the Company to private equity firm Vista Equity Partners ("Vista"). On September 29, 2014, the two parties announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Vista will take TIBCO private in a going-private merger in a deal worth $4.3 billion. As a result of the buyout, TIBCO shareholders are only anticipated to receive $24.00 per share in cash in exchange for each share of TIBCO.
Andrews & Springer's investigation has so far uncovered that the consideration TIBCO shareholders are expected to receive is inadequate. While the Company claims that shareholders will receive a premium for their shares, the Company traded as high as $24.48 as of December 19, 2013. Our investigation so far has also revealed that the process leading up to the announcement of the merger appears to have significant conflicts of interest, thus making the process and consideration unfair.
Andrews & Springer is also investigating whether TIBCO directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the company and maximize shareholder value. Additionally, our firm is also investigating the Company's financial advisor, Goldman Sachs, and whether Goldman Sachs conducted a fair sales process.
