SAN DIEGO, Oct. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE: PXD) (“Pioneer”) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM).

On October 11, 2023, Pioneer announced that it had entered a deal to be purchased by Exon Mobil. Under the terms of the deal, Pioneer shareholders will receive 2.3234 Exxon shares for each Pioneer share they own. The companies said that based on the October 5 closing prices of $108.99 for Exxon's stock and $214.96 for Pioneer's stock, the deal values Pioneer shares at $253.23.
Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially since the average analysts' price target is currently $263.
The investigation concerns whether the Pioneer board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Pioneer shares of common stock.
If you are a shareholder of Pioneer and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonfistel.com) at 619-814-4471. If emailing, please include a phone number.
