SAN DIEGO, April 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) ("Anadarko") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX)
On April 12, 2019, Anadarko announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Chevron. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Anadarko shareholders will receive 0.3869 shares of Chevron and $16.25 in cash for each Anadarko share. Based on Chevron's closing price on April 11, 2019 the deal is valued at $65 per share. However, shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of Chevron 's stock price.

Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given analysts' projections for future earnings growth, also one Wall Street analyst has a $80.00 price target on the stock.
