We are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of Crestwood Equity Partners LP (“Crestwood” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CEQP) in connection with its proposed acquisition by Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) (“Energy Transfer”). Under the merger agreement, the Company’s unitholders will receive 2.07 Energy Transfer common units for each Crestwood common unit owned. Upon closing, Crestwood common unitholders are expected to own approximately 6.5% of Energy Transfer’s outstanding common units. The transaction is valued at approximately $7.1 billion.
Weiss Law is investigating whether (i) Crestwood’s board acted in the best interests of Company unitholders in agreeing to the merger, (ii) the merger consideration adequately compensates Crestwood’s unitholders, and (iii) all information regarding the sales process and valuation of the transaction will be fully and fairly disclosed.
Weiss Law has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases. If you have information or would like legal advice concerning possible corporate wrongdoing (including insider trading, waste of corporate assets, accounting fraud, or materially misleading information), consumer fraud (including false advertising, defective products, or other deceptive business practices), or anti-trust violations, please email us at stockinfo@weisslawllp.com
