NEW YORK, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolf Popper LLP
is investigating claims on behalf of investors in GrafTech
International Ltd. ("GrafTech") (NYSE: GTI), concerning the
proposed acquisition of GrafTech by a private equity firm,
Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM). GrafTech
shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition can
contact Carl Stine at (212) 759-4600
or cstine@wolfpopper.com.
The investigation concerns whether GrafTech's directors are
breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately maximize
shareholder value. Under the terms of the proposed
transaction, GrafTech's shareholders will receive $5.05 per share in cash for each GrafTech share
they own. The proposed transaction has a preliminary equity
value of approximately $693
million. However, the offer price is significantly
below GrafTech's 52 week high of $10.77 per share and below the median analyst
price target of $5.53 per share.
Wolf Popper LLP has extensive experience representing investors
in mergers and acquisition lawsuits and has successfully ensured
that investors receive the maximum compensation. Twelve Wolf
Popper attorneys were named Rising Stars or Super Lawyers in the
2014 Super Lawyers New York City Metro Edition, including
Wolf Popper partner Carl Stine, who was included in the Super
