Ademi & O’Reilly, LLP is investigating Pivotal (Nasdaq: PVTL) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law in connection with the sale of Pivotal to VMare.
Ademi & O’Reilly, LLP alleges Pivotal’s financial outlook is improving and yet shareholders will receive only $15 for each share of Pivotal common stock they own. VMare is acquiring Pivotal at a substantial discount. The merger agreement unreasonably limits competing bids for Pivotal by prohibiting solicitation of further bids, and imposing a termination penalty if Pivotal accepts a superior bid. Pivotal insiders will receive millions of dollars as part of change of control arrangements. We are investigating on the conduct of Pivotal’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 Pivotal.
