San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 09/02/2015 --An investigation for investors with a substantial investment in NASDAQ:TW shares was announced in connection with the takeover of Towers Watson & Co by Willis Group Holdings.

Investors who purchased a substantial amount of shares of Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:TW shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation or call 858-779-1554.

An investor who purchased NASDAQ:TW shares filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the proposed takeover of Towers Watson & Co. by Willis Group Holdings for a value of approximately $125.13 per share. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:TW stockholders by agreeing to sell Towers Watson & Co too cheaply via an unfair process to Willis Group Holdings.

According to the investigation by a law firm investors with a substantial investment in shares of Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) have certain options.

On Jun. 30, 2015, Willis Group Holdings (NYSE:WSH) and Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) announced the signing of a merger agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) shareholders will receive 2.6490 Willis Group Holdings (NYSE:WSH) shares for each Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) share. Towers Watson & Co shareholders will also receive a one-time cash dividend of$4.87 per Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW)share pre-closing. Based upon the closing price of Willis Group Holdings (NYSE:WSH) stock prior to the announcement of the merger, Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) shareholders will receive an implied price of approximately $125.13 per share.

However, the plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration NASDAQ:TW shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and undervalues Towers Watson & Co. Indeed, at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:TW shares at $157.00 per share and NASDAQ:TW shares traded prior to the takeover announcement in the open market on June 26, 2015 as high as $141.88 per share. In addition, the plaintiff claims that the process is also unfair to NASDAQ:TW stockholders.

On August 31, 2015, NASDAQ:TW shares closed at $118.73 per share.

Those who are current investors in Towers Watson & Co (NASDAQ:TW) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
