NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a
leading securities and shareholder rights law firm that represents
shareholders throughout the nation, announces that it is
investigating the acquisition of AMCOL International Corp. on
behalf of its shareholders. AMCOL International Corporation (NYSE:
ACO) ("AMCOL" or the "Company") today announced it has signed a
definitive merger agreement with Imerys S.A. ("Imerys") pursuant to
which AMCOL shareholders will receive USD $41 per share in cash.
The investigation concerns whether the senior management and
board of directors of AMCOL engaged in a full and fair auction and
process to sell the Company for the highest price possible so that
shareholders receive the maximum value for their shares, whether
the price of $41 is unfairly low, and
whether the senior management had any conflicts of interest in
agreeing to sell the Company at this price. Indeed, analysts have
projected that the true going forward inherent value of the Company
is worth at least $43 per share.
