Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. Investigates CommScope, Inc. Buyout
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of CommScope, Inc. (“CommScope” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CTV) concerning possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired and taken private by The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”) in a transaction valued at approximately $3.9 billion.
Under the proposed agreement, CommScope shareholders will receive $31.50 in cash for each outstanding share of CommScope common stock they own.
The investigation concerns whether CommScope’s board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best price possible for CommScope’s shareholders before entering into the agreement with Carlyle. Indeed, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a price target of $36.00 per share for CommScope stock.
As recent as October 27, 2010, CommScope announced its third quarter 2010 financial results wherein the Company reported net sales of $822 million which was a 10% increase over the same period in 2009. Frank Drendel, CommScope’s Chairman and CEO, was upbeat about the Company’s future. He commented: “While the global economy remains challenging, popular devices like smart phones and tablets have created the demand for a mobile Internet. We remain excited about our long-term growth opportunities as CommScope’s next generation of wireless, enterprise and broadband solutions help customers connect to critical data, entertainment and business services.”
