NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is
investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of law by the Board of Directors of Blackhawk Network
Holdings Inc. ("HAWK" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HAWK) in
connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by private
equity firms Silver Lake and P2
Capital Partners. Under the terms of the acquisition
agreement, the Company's shareholders will receive $45.25 in cash for each HAWK share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether HAWK's Board acted to maximize
shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $51.00 per share, or approximately $6.00 above the offer price. Additionally,
HAWK shares traded for $46.70, or
$1.45 above the offer price, as
recently as July of 2017.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether HAWK's
Board acted in the best interests of HAWK's public shareholders to
maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the
agreement. If you own HAWK shares and would like more
