An investigation on behalf of investors in NYSE:HTS shares in connection with the proposed takeover was announced and NYSE:HTS stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/19/2016 -- The acquisition of Hatteras Financial Corp is under investigation over potential wrongdoing. The investigation was announced on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Hatteras Financial Corp. , concerning whether the takeover of Hatteras Financial Corp. by Annaly Capital Management, Inc for a value of $15.85 per share is unfair.
Investors who purchased shares of Hatteras Financial Corp. (NYSE:HTS) and currently hold any of those NYSE:HTS 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 officers and directors of Hatteras Financial Corp. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:HTS investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On April 11, 2016, Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE:NLY) and Hatteras Financial Corp. ("Hatteras") (NYSE:HTS) announced the signing of a merger agreement under which Annaly Capital Management, Inc will acquire Hatteras for consideration to be paid in cash and shares of Annaly Capital Management, Inc common stock, which values Hatteras at $15.85 per share of Hatteras common stock based upon the closing price of Annaly Capital Management, Inc common stock on April 8, 2016.
However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price of NYSE:HTS at $20.00 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NYSE:HTS stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Hatteras Financial 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.
On April 15, 2016, NYSE:HTS shares closed at $15.94 per share.
Those who are current investors in Hatteras Financial Corp. shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
