SAN DIEGO, Aug. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP (J&W) has launched an investigation into whether the board members of IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFUS). IXYS designs, manufactures, and markets semiconductor products worldwide.
On August 28, 2017, IXYS announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Littelfuse. Under the terms of the agreement, subject to proration, each IXYS stockholder will be entitled to elect to receive, per IXYS share, either $23.00 in cash or 0.1265 of a share of Littelfuse common stock. In total, 50% of IXYS stock will be converted into the cash election option and 50% into the stock election option.
The investigation concerns whether the IXYS 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 IXYS shares of common stock.
