Ademi & O’Reilly, LLP is investigating Carbon Black (Nasdaq: CBLK) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law in connection with the sale of Carbon Black to VMare.
Ademi & O’Reilly, LLP alleges Carbon Black’s financial outlook is improving and yet shareholders will receive only $26 for each share of Carbon Black common stock they own. VMare is acquiring Carbon Black at a substantial discount. The merger agreement unreasonably limits competing bids for Carbon Black by prohibiting solicitation of further bids, and imposing a termination penalty if Carbon Black accepts a superior bid. Carbon Black insiders will receive millions of dollars as part of change of control arrangements. We are investigating on the conduct of Carbon Black’s board of directors, and whether they are (i) fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders, and (ii) obtaining a fair and reasonable price for Carbon Black.
