Under the terms of the transaction, Actuate shareholders will receive $6.60 in cash for each share of Actuate stock they own. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Actuate Corporation breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Open-Text Corporation is underpaying for Actuate shares. The transaction may undervalue Actuate and will result in a loss for many Actuate shareholders as BIRT stock traded at $7.91 per share on January 17, 2014 and an analyst set a price target for Actuate stock at $7.00 per share.

If you own shares of Actuate common stock and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of the investigation, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions.
