NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it is investigating the potential sale of Blackhawk Network Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAWK) ("Blackhawk" or the "Company") on behalf of its shareholders.  Blackhawk announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by private equity firms Silver Lake and P2 Capital Partners in a cash deal valued at approximately $3.5 billion.  The firms will acquire Blackhawk for $45.25 in cash per share.

Our investigation has determined that the offer price of only $45.25 per share, unfairly under-values the true going forward inherent value of Blackhawk and that shareholders may not be receiving the maximum value for their shares.  Indeed, the stock reached a high of $46.70 per share this year, and analysts have a target price of $51 per share.   The investigation further seeks to determine whether Blackhawk's senior management is entering into this deal for their own self-interests to the detriment of the Company's shareholders.  Indeed, P2P Partners beneficially owns approximately 5.4% of the Company's stock.

If you are a shareholder of Blackhawk and would like additional information as to how the proposed acquisition may affect your rights as a shareholder, and how you may be eligible to obtain a higher price for your shares at no cost, please contact us at:
