NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is
investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of law by the Board of Directors of Omega Protein Corp.
("OME" or the "Company") (NYSE: OME) in connection with the
proposed acquisition of the Company by Cooke Inc. ("Cooke").
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company's
shareholders will receive $22.00 in
cash for each OME share they own.
WeissLaw is investigating whether OME's Board acted to maximize
shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.
Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $26.00, or $4.00
above the offer price. Additionally, shares of OME traded for
$26.99, or nearly $5.00 above the offer price, as recently as
January of this year.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether OME's Board
acted in the best interests of its public shareholders to maximize
shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. If
you own OME shares and would like more information about your
rights or our investigation, or if you have information to share
