However, the plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration NASDAQ:ALTR shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and undervalues Altera Corporation.

Shares of Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR) grew from $30.83 per share in October 2014 to as high as $50.10 per share on May 29, 2015. In addition, the plaintiff claims that the process is also unfair to NASDAQ:ALTR stockholders.

On June 12, 2015, NASDAQ:ALTR shares closed at $51.59 per share.
