As we previously reported here on eWn, WWE has been acquired by the Endeavor Group and will merge with the UFC as a new company. The transaction is expected to be completed later this year.
Ademi LLP is investigating if WWE’s board of directors are fulfilling their duties to shareholders by getting a fair and reasonable price for WWE:
Ademi LLP investigates whether World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. has obtained a Fair Price in its transaction with Endeavor
MILWAUKEE, April 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Ademi LLP is investigating WWE (NYSE: WWE) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law in its transaction with Endeavor.
Ademi LLP alleges WWE’s financial outlook and prospects are excellent and yet the transaction values WWE’s shares at only approximately $106 per share (before any post-closing dividend) with Endeavor holding a 51% controlling interest in the new company and existing WWE shareholders holding a 49% interest in the new company. The transaction agreement unreasonably limits competing bids for WWE by imposing a significant penalty if WWE accepts a superior bid. WWE insiders will receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
We are investigating the conduct of WWE’s board of directors, and whether they are (i) fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders, and (ii) obtaining a fair and reasonable price for WWE.
