Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP (“Wolf Haldenstein”), a leading securities law firm, announces that it is investigating the acquisition of Schawk, Inc. (NYSE:SGK). The Company announced this morning that it had entered into an agreement with Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ:MATW) to be acquired for $11.80 in cash and 0.20582 shares of Matthews’ common stock, representing a purchase price of $20.00 per share.
The investigation concerns whether the Schawk, Inc. board of directors has breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize value for shareholders and whether the process benefits the controlling family shareholders to the detriment of non-affiliated investors. Schawk family members and related trusts own 61% of the outstanding shares, thus non-affiliated shareholders effectively have no say in the outcome of the shareholder vote.
Wolf Haldenstein has represented individual and institutional investors for many years, serving as lead counsel in numerous cases in United States federal and state courts. Please visit the Wolf Haldenstein website (http://www.whafh.com) for more information about the firm.
