The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Bemis Company, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE :BMS investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On August 6, 2018, Amcor Limited (ASX: AMC) and Bemis Company, Inc. (NYSE: BMS) today announced that their respective Boards of Directors have unanimously approved a definitive agreement under which Amcor will acquire Bemis in an all-stock combination. The transaction will be effected at a fixed exchange ratio of 5.1 Amcor shares for each Bemis share, resulting in Amcor and Bemis shareholders owning approximately 71% and 29% of the combined company, respectively.
