An investigation on behalf of investors of Omega Protein Corporation (NYSE:OME) in connection with the proposed takeover was announced.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 10/10/2017 --The takeover of Omega Protein Corporation is under investigation over possible wrongdoing. The investigation was announced for investors, who currently hold shares of Omega Protein Corporation(NYSE:OME), concerning whether the takeover of Omega Protein Corporation by Cooke Inc for $22.00 per share is unfair.

Investors who purchased shares of Omega Protein Corporation (NYSE:OME) and currently hold any of those NYSE:OME shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call 858-779-1554.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain directors of Omega Protein Corporation breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:OME investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On October 6, 2017, Omega Protein Corporation announced that it had signed a merger agreement with Cooke Inc., a New Brunswick company and parent of Cooke Aquaculture Inc. Under the terms of the proposed transaction NYSE:OME shareholders will receive $22 per share for each share of Omega Protein stock they own.

However, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NYSE:OME stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Omega Protein Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.

Those who are current investors in Omega Protein Corporation (NYSE:OME) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
