Business Wire
Robbins Umeda LLP, a shareholder rights litigation firm, is
investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of state law by members of the board of directors of
Emergent Group Inc. (AMEX: LZR) in connection with their efforts to
sell the company to Universal Hospital Services, Inc. The
investigation seeks to determine whether Emergent's board of
directors undertook a fair process to obtain maximum value for its
shareholders.
On February 7, 2011, Emergent and Universal Hospital Services
announced the definitive merger agreement under which Universal
Hospital Services will acquire Emergent in a tender offer
transaction valued at $58.37 million. Under the terms of the
current agreement, Emergent shareholders will receive $8.46 in cash
for each share of Emergent common stock. Emergent executives and
directors, holding in the aggregate approximately 47% of the
Company's outstanding shares, entered into a tender and voting
agreement pursuant to which the executives and directors agree to
tender all their shares in the offer and will vote all shares in
approval of the merger. Notably, this announcement comes after
Emergent had a successful third quarter in 2010, reporting revenues
of over $7.5 million, up 4.8% from the previous quarter.
