On February 24, 2022, SJI announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by IIF in a deal worth approximately $8.1 billion. Pursuant to the merger agreement, SJI shareholders will receive $36 in cash for each share of SJI common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that SJI’s 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 SJI’s stockholders.
