NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the officers or directors of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (NASDAQ: AAWW) (“Atlas”) breached their fiduciary duties or violated the federal securities laws in connection with the company’s acquisition by an investor group led by Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO) (“the Consortium”).

On August 4, 2022, Atlas announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by the Consortium in an all-cash deal with an enterprise value of $5.2 billion. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Atlas Shareholders will receive $102.50 in cash for each share of Atlas they own. The deal is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Atlas’ board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate merger agreement. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for Atlas’ stockholders.
