San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/16/2017 -- The Shareholders Foundation announces that an investor, who currently holds shares of WebMD Health Corp. (NASDAQ:WBMD), filed a lawsuit against the takeover of WebMD Health Corp. by Internet Brands.

The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:WBMD stockholders by agreeing to sell WebMD Health Corp cheaply via an unfair process to Internet Brands,.

On August 07, 2017, Internet Brands, a KKR portfolio company, announced the commencement of a cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of WebMD Health Corp. (NASDAQ:WBMD) at a price of $66.50 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest and less applicable withholding taxes.

WebMD Health Corp. reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $636.40 million in 2105 to $705.05 million in 2016 and that its Net Income increased from $64.02 million to $91.30 million. In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the process is also unfair NASDAQ:WBMD stockholders.
