SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz LLP Investigates Claims That the Merger May Not Be in the Best Interest of Investors of Pinnacle Foods, Inc. - PF
NEW YORK, May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Pinnacle Foods, Inc. ("Pinnacle Foods" or the "Company") (NYSE: PF) (ISIN: US72348P1049) (CUSIP: 72348P104) concerning the proposed acquisition of Pinnacle Foods by The Hillshire Brands Company ("Hillshire Brands.")
Pinnacle Foods shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at [email protected] or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether the Pinnacle Foods directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, each share of Pinnacle Foods common stock will be exchanged for $18.00 in cash and 0.50 shares of Hillshire Brands common stock, with an implied purchase price of $36.02 per share. However, at least one analyst set a target price of $37.00 per share for Pinnacle Foods common stock. Furthermore, there is no collar to protect Pinnacle Foods shareholders from depreciation in the price of Hillshire Brands stock.
Pinnacle Foods shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at [email protected] or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
