Kendall Law Group, a national securities firm, is investigating
DivX Inc. (NASDAQ: DIVX) for shareholders in connection with the
proposed sale of DivX to Sonic Solutions. The firm’s investigation
seeks to determine whether DivX and its Board breached their
fiduciary duties by entering into the agreement without properly
shopping for a deal that would provide better value for
shareholders. If you are a DivX shareholder and would like

On June 2, 2010, the companies announced that they had entered
into an agreement for DivX to be acquired by Sonic for a
combination of cash and stock. According to the agreement, DivX
shareholders will receive $3.75 per share and 0.514 shares of Sonic
common stock for each share of DivX held. After this announcement,
Sonic share prices fell to as low as $10.21 per share while DivX
shares were trading for $8.55 per share, representing a $0.44
premium per share. The agreement is subject to shareholder
approval, but included in the agreement is a termination fee,
whereby DivX will have to pay $8.35 million if the deal is
terminated. Sonic has stated that they expect the acquisition “to
potentially double its adjusted earnings in 2012.”
Kendall Law Group was founded by a former federal judge and a
former United States Attorney, and includes securities lawyers and
former prosecutors who are experienced in complex securities
litigation. The firm has been counsel in dozens of merger and
acquisition cases nationwide, including some of the largest
