Finisar (FNSR) Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of Finisar Corporation to II-VI; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal?

PRNewswire 9-Nov-2018 8:26 AM

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ:FNSR) ("Finisar") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to II-VI Incorporated (NASDAQ:IIVI). Finisar provides components and subsystems to networking equipment manufacturers, data center operators, telecom service providers, consumer electronics, and automotive companies in the United States, China, Malaysia, and internationally.

On November 9, 2018, Finisar announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with II-VI. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Finisar's stockholders will receive, on a pro-rated basis, $15.60 per share in cash and 0.2218x shares of II-VI common stock, valued at $10.40 per share based on the closing price of II-VI's common stock of $46.88 on November 8, 2018. The transaction values Finisar at $26.00 per share. However, shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of II-VI's stock price.

The investigation concerns whether the Finisar 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 Finisar shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given Wall Street analysts' projections for future earnings and revenue growth.
