Newman Ferrara LLP Announces Investigation of Netspend Holdings, Inc.
Newman Ferrara LLP is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Netspend Holdings, Inc. ("Netspend") (Nasdaq: NTSP) concerning the proposed acquisition of Netspend by Total System Services Inc. ("TSYS") (NYSE: TSS).
On February 19, 2013, Netspend announced that it had entered into an agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by TSYS in a cash deal valued at approximately $1.4 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Netspend's shareholders will only receive $16.00 in cash per share of Netspend stock owned.
Netspend's Board of Directors has unanimously approved the proposed deal. Upon closing of the proposed deal, Netspend executive team will be retained by TSYS, including Netspend's Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Henry, and President, Charles Harris.
Newman Ferrara LLP's investigation concerns whether Netspend's Board of Directors has breached its fiduciary duties to act in the best interests of Netspend's shareholders and to take all necessary steps to ensure that Netspend's shareholders receive the maximum value readily available for their shares of Netspend common stock.
