San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/24/2019 -- An investigation was announced concerning whether the takeover of WageWorks, Inc. is unfair to NYSE: WAGE stockholders.

Investors who purchased shares of WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE: WAGE) and currently hold any of those NYSE: WAGE shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of WageWorks, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE: WAGE investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On June 27, 2019, HealthEquity, Inc.(NASDAQ: HQY) and WageWorks, Inc., (NYSE: WAGE) ("WageWorks") announced that they have entered into an agreement under which HealthEquity will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of WageWorks for $51.35 per share in cash, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $2 billion.

However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NYSE: WAGE shares at $82.00 per share, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NYSE: WAGE stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the WageWorks 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.

Shares of WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE: WAGE) closed on July 23, 2019, at $51.02 per share.

Those who are current investors in WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE: WAGE) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
