We are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of PAE Incorporated (“PAE” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PAE, PAEWW) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by an affiliate of Amentum Government Services Holdings LLC (“Amentum”) via a tender offer. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company’s shareholders will receive $10.05 per share in cash for each share of PAE common stock that they hold. The transaction is valued at approximately $1.9 billion.
WeissLaw LLP is investigating whether (i) PAE’s board of directors acted in the best interests of Company shareholders in agreeing to the proposed transaction, (ii) the $10.05 per-share offer price adequately compensates PAE’s shareholders, and (iii) all information regarding the sales process and valuation of the transaction will be fully and fairly disclosed. Notably, at least one analyst set a price target for the Company as high as $15 per share, nearly $5 above the per-share merger consideration. Indeed, the offer price is well below the $14 median analyst price target and $13 low analyst price target for the Company.
