San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 07/28/2015 --An investor who currently holds shares of Home Properties, Inc. (NYSE:HME), filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the proposed takeover of Home Properties, Inc. by an affiliate of Lone Star Funds for $75.23 per share. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:HME stockholders by agreeing to sell Home Properties, Inc. too cheaply via an unfair process to an affiliate of Lone Star Funds.

On June 22, 2015, Home Properties, Inc.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Lone Star Funds will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Home Properties for $75.23 per share in an all-cash transaction.

Shares of Home Properties, Inc. (NYSE:HME) grew from $44.40 per share in July 2010 to as high as $75.41 per share in April 2015.
