Is the Proposed Acquisition Best for JP Energy Partners and Its Unitholders?

Robbins Arroyo LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at JP Energy Partners is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its unitholders.

As an initial matter, the $8.63 merger consideration represents a premium of only 14.5% based on JP Energy Partners' closing price on October 21, 2016. This premium is significantly below the average one day premium of nearly 122.69% for comparable transactions within the past three years. Further, the $8.63 merger consideration is significantly below the target price of $10.75 set by an analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co. on October 6, 2016. In the last three years, JP Energy Partners traded as high as $20.71 on October 2, 2014, and most recently traded above the merger consideration – at $8.82 – on August 9, 2016.

JP Energy Partners unitholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit to ensure the board of directors obtains the best possible price for unitholders and the disclosure of material information. JP Energy Partners unitholders interested in information about their rights and potential remedies can contact attorney Darnell R.
