San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 09/10/2013 --An investor, who currently hold shares of Volterra Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:VLTR), filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the proposed takeover of Volterra Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:VLTR. by Maxim Integrated Products for $23.00 per NASDAQ:VLTR share.

The plaintiff claims that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed Volterra Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:VLTR stockholder by agreeing to sell the company too cheaply via an unfair process to Maxim Integrated Products.

On August 15, 2013, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Volterra Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:VLTR) for $23 per share. The transaction value is approximately $605 million equity value or $450 million net of Volterra's cash position of approximately $155 million.
