NYSE: P Investor Notice: Lawsuit Filed in Effort to Halt the Takeover of Pandora Media, Inc.

A lawsuit was filed for investors in shares of Pandora Media, Inc. (NYSE: P) in connection with the proposed takeover and NYSE: P stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.

 

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2018 -- The Shareholders Foundation announces that an investor, who currently holds shares of Pandora Media, Inc. (NYSE: P), filed a lawsuit against the takeover of Pandora Media, Inc. by Sirius XM Holdings Inc.

Investors who purchased shares of Pandora Media, Inc. (NYSE: P) and currently hold any of those YSE: P shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE: P stockholders by agreeing to sell Pandora Media, Inc. cheaply via an unfair process.

On September 24, 2018, Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) and Pandora Media, Inc. (NYSE: P) announced an agreement under which SiriusXM will acquire Pandora in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $3.5 billion. Pursuant to the agreement, the owners of the outstanding shares in Pandora that SiriusXM does not currently own will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 1.44 newly issued SiriusXM shares for each share of Pandora they hold. Based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price of $7.04 per share of SiriusXM common stock, the implied price of Pandora common stock is $10.14 per share,

However, plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration NYSE: P shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and undervalues Pandora Media, Inc. Indeed, at least one analyst has set the high target price for NYSE: P shares at $13.00 per share. Pandora Media, Inc. reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from over $138 billion in 2016 to over $1.46 billion in 2017. In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the process is also unfair NYSE: P stockholders. The plaintiff alleges that the merger agreement contains preclusive deal protection devices, such as a $105 million termination fee provision and a no solicitation provision, that deter other bidders from making a superior offer for Pandora Media and ensure a takeover by Sirius XM Holdings Inc.

Those who are current investors in Pandora Media, Inc. (NYSE: P) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
