SAN DIEGO, March 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. (NYSE: CPGX) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to TransCanada Corporation (NYSE: TRP).
Additional Information:
Columbia Pipeline, owns, operates and develops a portfolio of pipelines, storage and related midstream assets.
On March 17, 2016, Columbia Pipeline announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with TransCanada. Under the terms of the agreement, TransCanada will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Columbia Pipeline for $25.50 per share in an all cash transaction.
The investigation concerns whether Columbia Pipeline's board failed to satisfy their 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 Columbia Pipeline's shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration, especially given one Wall Street analyst has a $29.00 price target on the stock. Columbia Pipeline 52 week high was $33.00.
