San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 03/04/2013 --Following the announcement by Sauer-Danfoss Inc. that it has received notice from Danfoss A/S of its intention to launch a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sauer-Danfoss prompted an investigation on behalf of investors in Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) shares concerning whether the offer and the takeover process are unfair to NYSE:SHS investors.

Investors who purchased shares of Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) prior to November 28, 2012, and currently hold any of those NYSE:SHS shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail(at)shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Sauer-Danfoss Inc. breach their fiduciary duties owed NYSE:SHS investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On Nov. 28, 2012 Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE: SHS) confirmed that it has received notice from Danfoss A/S of its intention to launch a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sauer-Danfoss that it does not already own at a price of $49.00 per share in cash.

Then on March 1, 2013, Danfoss A/S and Sauer-Danfoss Inc. announced a merger agreement for Danfoss A/S to acquire the 24.4% of Sauer-Danfoss common shares not already owned by Danfoss and its affiliates for $58.50 per share in cash.

However, following the takeover announced NYSE:SHS shares jumped on March 1, 2013 to a close of $58.73 per share, thus above the current $58.50offer.

Furthermore, NYSE:SHS shares traded in the past also above the current offer. In fact, NYSE:SHS shares traded as high as$59.01 per share in April 2011.

Therefore, the investigation a law firm concerns whether the proposed transaction is unfair to NYSE:SHS stockholders.

Specifically, given that Danfoss A/S and its subsidiaries currently own already approximately 75.6% of the outstanding shares of Sauer-Danfoss, the investigation focuses on whether the Sauer-Danfoss Board of Directors will undertake an adequate sales process, adequately shop the company before entering into the transaction, maximize shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and act in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.

Those who are current investors in Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
