Ademi LLP is investigating Brightcove (NASDAQ: BCOV) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law in its transaction with Bending Spoons.
In the transaction, the stockholders of Brightcove will receive only $4.45 per share in cash for each share of Brightcove common stock in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $233 million.
The transaction agreement unreasonably limits competing transactions for Brightcove by imposing a significant penalty if Brightcove accepts a competing bid. Brightcove insiders will receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
We are investigating the conduct of Brightcove’s board of directors, and whether they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders.
