STEVENSON, Md., June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Home Properties, Inc. ("Home Properties" or the "Company") (NYSE: HME) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by an affiliate of Lone Star Funds.
Under the terms of the transaction, Home Properties shareholders are anticipated to receive $75.23 in cash for each share of Home Properties common stock held. The transaction may undervalue Home Properties and may result in a substantial loss for many shareholders. For example, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Home Properties stock at $79.00 per share.
The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common stock.
If you currently own common stock of Home Properties and believe that the proposed buyout price is too low, or you would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted by Brower Piven, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentinvestigations.html.
