WeissLaw is investigating whether BKS's Board acted to maximize
shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
Notably, the Company announced positive financial results. It
reported consolidated operating profit of $79.2 million in the third quarter of 2019,
compared to the previous year's $34.9
million.
WeissLaw is also investigating whether BKS's Board conducted a
fair process in agreeing to the proposed merger, whether the
proposed merger undervalues the Company, and whether all material
information related to the proposed merger is fully and fairly
disclosed.
WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and
derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary
duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for
defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance
relief in many of these cases. If you have information or
would like legal advice concerning possible corporate wrongdoing
(including insider trading, waste of corporate assets, accounting
fraud, or materially misleading information), consumer fraud
(including false advertising, defective products, or other
deceptive business practices), or anti-trust violations, please
